Farm Communities and
the Future of Trade.

Washington, d. C.-To-day, the
farmers of the United States have
more money than at any previous
time, and it is the belief of the mer-
chants and railroad interests and
bankers that, as soon as the agricul-
tural districts commence to buy me-
cessities and Injuries in larger vol,
ume, sales by both manufacturers
and jobbers will be increased. Stocks
of goods in distributors hands
throughout the country are far be-
low the normal, and will have to be
replenished in the near future.

In the South.

Richmond, Va.-It was announced
that the Virginia Railroad has or
dered nineteen locomotives of the lat
est model from the Richmond branch
of the American Locomotive Com
pany. This will necessitate the OPP
Grafton of the plant, SO long practical
ly idle, at full blast for months to
come. This announcement has Gre
ated a stir among the hundreds OF
employees of the plant, who have been
idle for many weeks.
other industries of lesser impor-
lance throughout the State are noting
improved business, and employees are
being reinstated in many factories
With the impetus business has re-
ceived during the week, should it con-
tinue, in a month conditions in V1r-
ginia will be normal.
The order for engines received by
the locomotive works would seem to
indicate that the capitalists behind
the new Virginia Railroad, of whom
H. H. Rogers is the chief, are fully
confident that business throughout
the country will continue to improve.
Local wholesale and retail houses
report increased trading for the last
two days, some houses having sold
more goods in this time than within
the same period for the last six
months.
Atlanta, Ga.-Harvie Jordan, pres
ident of the Southern Cotton Grow
ers' Association, in emphasizing his
belief that the price of cotton will
rise speedily, said:
1.-THE national election is past, and
millions of dollars of orders for man
ufactured goods have been placed in
the last few weeks. Raw cotton will
feel the impetus given to other lines
of industry. While the ginners' re-
ports indicate larger amount of cot
ton ginned to date than at any pre-
vious period in the history of the
Census Bureau, the ginnings for No
vember and the succeeding months of
the year will indicate heavy falling
off. The total yield of this year will,
in my opinion, fall far short OF the
two big crop years of 1904 and
1906"
New Orleans, lathe only Indus
try in New Orleans to raise wages in
consequence of election is the Textile
Company, which controls the two big
cotton factories of this city and has
1900 persons at work. A reduction
In the wages was Hdue SULh0 tliho
ago; large number of the employees
left, and the mills reduced their out
put. Two days after the election
wages were raised twenty per cent.
and all the hands went back to work.
The increase applies also to Wesson
Mills, at Wesson, Miss, which is con-
trolled by the Textile Company
The election has had more imme-
date effect in the matter of bringing
in money to New Orleans for invest
ment, this being due in part to great
er confidence, and in part to the adop-
ton of a constitutional amendment
exempting from taxation money adj
vanced on mortgages.
This has resulted already in the
investment of more than $4,000 900
in Louisiana mortgages, of which ST.
900 900 goes to the erection of the
big Audubon Building. Another loan
was made by New York life insur-
ance company to the city for con-
structing schools. These loans served
to relieve the money situation here,
money being scarce and tight.

This order was evidently sent out
by the Department of Public Affairs,
of which Commissioner Ishii is a
member. We received no word from
rokiO yesterday by the Maru, but this
order has been expected for some
time"
1t is thought by some that the order
practically excludes Japanese laborers
from here. The relatives of Japanese
here, excepting possibly brothers and
brothers-in-law, are probably not elig-
ible anyhow, and of course many of
/ the eligibles will not want to come. 1t

effect of the order, however, that the

| residence in Hawaii of value, just as
is a Chinese foothold on the mainland.

| single Chinese ashore. hence those
in the privileged class of relatives of
Japanese here may elect to come in
considerable numbers.
The order is assumed to be a result
OF the international situation and the
visit of Commissioner Ishi here and
to the states. Japan some time ago
took measures to stop the immigra-
/ tion of her laboring class to the main
/ land, and the fact that she is even
/ stopping them coming here is a possi-
/ bic result of the negotiations of AM

or treaty, the order now made indi-
! Gates an agreement with Washington

JUDGE DOLE ALLOWS SOME OF

Judge Dole this morning passed upon
the motion of Thompson q Clemons,
attorneys for joan Wynne, charged
with the murder of Third Assistant
Engineer McKinnon of the S. $. Rose
Grams, that the prosecution be required
to elect upon which count Of the voIu-
minous indictment they propose to try
the case. The court holds that the
grounds in part are well taken In
ruling on the motion Judge Dole says:
The Indictment contains six counts
two that it was committed 'On a certain
have been committed on the high seas,
two that is was committed on certain
haven of the Pacific Ocean, to wit, the
harbor of Honolulu and two that it
was committed in a certain arm of the
Pacific Ocean, to wit. the harbor of
Honolulu There are other differences
between the counts which however, are
not brought up under this motion.
"As to the description of the locality,
| find that the last four counts substan-
italy describe the same place-in
that a haven Of the Pacific Ocean, to
wit,-the harbor Of Honolulu, and Il
certain arm of the Pacific Ocean, to
wit-the harbor of Honolulu, describe
the same locality ] consider that it is
due to the defendant that he be tried
upon the charge Of having committed
the offense at only one Of these Local

ton so far as to require the prosecu-
ton to elect whether it will proceed

GOT THE:
HIGHER
KING OF THE KOREAN COUNTER
FEITERS IS ALLEGED TO HAVE
BEEN ARRESTED.

U. S. Marshal e. r. Hendry receiv-
ed a wireless this morning from Kai-
lua, Hawaii, to the effect that Kang
Yong Soon, by all accounts the
shrewdest and most clever counter
feiter in the Territory had been locat-
ed. The Marshal will leave by the
first boat to get his man.
Kang Yong Soon, has been wanted
for a year or more. In the general
round up of two gangs of counter
feiters on Hawaii last summer, he
managed to slip through the net, and
is supposed to be the only member of
the gangs not brought to book for his
offenses. According to all the others
captured, and who are now serving
sentences, some of whom have proved
themselves to be exceedingly expert
at die making, he has ability which
ruts him easily in the van.
