Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables.

There was marked falling off in the re-
ceipts Of Potatoes but there was no improve
ment in prices, there being enough carried-oVer
stock on hand to meet all requirements
Onions were plentiful, but steady, with a
moderate movement reported in shipping chan
nels.
The feature of the vegetable market was the
sudden rise in Tomatoes. Low prices ruled at
the opening as dealers were expecting the
usual heavy dose from the river districts. but
II soon became known that there was an actual
scarcity and holders promptly doubled their
asking prices. few boxes came IN from
across the bay and sold at 81 per box. The
other vegetables were generally weak and
prices of some descriptions ranged lower

The Butter market continues very firm and a
slight advance is being obtained. The advance
is by no means unanimous and there is the
usual talk heard whenever the market goes up,
that the rise will shut off business and result
in decline later On.
The advance in Cheese Is maintained without
difficulty and, though there Is plenty OF off
stock on the market, fine mild new is scarce
nd-frrn.
The advance in Eggs is enabling holders of
Eastern and cold storage goods to sell these
descriptions at a profit, hence the market for
fresh ranch is showing a tendency to drag

following announcement today:
"In the direction of Changtu, on
May 20, force of the enemy consist
ing of over a battalion of infantry, a
regiment of cavalry and two guns,
made a detour to the eastern height

ing, commenced a bombardment.
subsequently another Russian
force with four guns appeared on the

at p. m. two battalions of the enemy
advanced from the eastern side of the
village but were repulsed.
Another mixed force of the enemy
entered Erhshihilipao where they set
fire to the village and retreated.
"A body of the enemy's cavalry
dismounted attacked Sangshed, on
the right bank of the Lao River, thir-
teen miles southwest of Fakumen, on
the morning of May 20. After an en-
gagement lasting two hours the enemy
retreated in disorder toward the
southwest, abandoning 800 men, killed
and wounded.
Except these collisions between
small forces, the situation is other
wise unchanged"

Salisbury. N c., May 22.-H. Clay
Grubb and Clarence Thompson, the
former a big distiller of Davidson
couray, who was acquitted last Satur-
day OF numbering his brother-in-law,
o. l.. Davis; the latter a prominent
witness in the recent trial, were dan
gerously shot from ambush near
Churchland, five miles east of this city
at $50 o'clock this a. IN.
The two men were on their way tC
Salisbury in an open buggy and the
shooting took place but short dis
tance from the Grubb mansion. Both
Grubb and Thompson are painfully in
Jured, having received a portion OF
several loads of buckshot in their bod
les. They lost much blood before a
physician could be reached. Thomp-
son is seriously injured by about q
dozen leaden missiles which passed
through his lungs and back. He is in
q dangerous condition tonight. The
worst injuries sustained by Grubh
were in the shoulders, arms and head.
but it is thought he will soon recover
He was able to be carried to his home
at Churchland this afternoon.
Without a moments warning the
two men were fired upon from thick
growth of underbrush at the edge OF
Il dense forest.
At first their assailants were pnob-
served, but were later seen take hid
ing behind trees All Of the While
they kept up a hot fire upon Grubb
and Thompson. neither of whom were
armed and could not return the fire.
Nat Crump. colored, was seen and
recognized by Grubb as a member of
the band of highwaymen. 1t is also
certain that there We're several others
in the party, including one or two
white men, 1t is likewise conceded
that the efforts of the highwaymen to
kill Grubb. was the result of eep
laid plot to end his life. He had jeen
cut of Jail only forty-eight hour and
had been informed that his life was i'll
danger. and this was his first trip
from home since the noted trial III
Salisbury.
1t is believed that the trouble today
eliminated from the i'll feeling in DaF-
:dson county towards Grubb. and thai
his assailants were hired to do tht
shooting. Crump is a notoriously bad
character. and on q former occasion
had been employed to sh Dot Grubb but
failed. He is reported to have killed
enc or two men.
After being shot Grubb and his com
panion were driven in gallop hive
miles to Salisbury. where medlcal at
tentiCn was promptly rendered.
