1t is a busy place of 100000 inhabi
tants. It's rolling mills turn out
steel rails and all kinds of steel and
iron work. It has large reduction
works for the copper, zinc, lead and
silver ores which are naned from the
nearby mountains. Large quantities
OF as fine peaches as men ever ate are
canned here.
When you get off at the depot,
looking south, down straight street
to the mountains, they look only
short distance off, but they are eight
miles away; looking west, you see
them apparently not over one and a
half miles. They are fifteen miles.
Looking east is Saddle Mountain,
seemingly half-hour's walk; it is
seven miles to its base Street-car
fare is from 5 to 10 cents Mexican
money. If you sit in front, first class,
it is 10 cents, in rear seats it is 5
cents. You get off and on the cars
from the center of the car.

Mexican money. There are some fine
buildings. Americans are interested
in the Bishops Palace and others
famous in the siege of the city by
Gen. Taylor.
We leave on Mexican Central at
A. M, passing out of the city to
the east, rounding Saddle Mountain,
we take our way to the southeast for
Tampico, 1922 miles away. The Coun-
try is rocky and poor on the line of
the road, occasional valleys and irri-
gated fields. To our right looms up
lofty mountains, fifteen to fifty miles
away, with green patches in the val
leys at their bases, caused by springs.
To the eye they look inaccessible, but
an intelligent Mexican informs us
that on top there are forests Of large
trees, principally pine, with plenty
of springs of fine water, and many
small farms, with orchards Of apples,
pears, peaches and our temperate-zone
fruits of all kinds.
At Montemorelos, a place of about
5000, we come to the first orange
grove (they call orchards groves), and
sugar plantations. All under irriga-
ton from the PLAN River, a small
stream rushing out Of the mountains
to the west. Here we lose sight of
Saddle Mountain, ifty-fve miles
away, shut out by lofty hills. On
either side of the line there are vii
lagos and haciendas on every stream
that affords irrigation, otherwise the
country is barren waste. The view
to the west is grand, mountain piled
upon mountain, until their tops ap-
pear far above the clouds, and so far
away that they seem to be so steep
as IT standing upon edge, the sun shin
ing through the immense gorges Char
rancas). With aid Of glass we can
see the trees upon their tops.
We reach Victoria, the capital of
the state of Tamalipas, about 3 P. M.

work was done. Probably by that
race that built the ruined cities of
Mexico, have left these footprints
on the sands of time" [ saw some
hideous stone idols that were "dug
up" on some islands near Tampico.
The buried city at THE foot Of the
mountains between Tampico and Vera
Cruz, found last year, is expected
to add much to the wonders of the
ancient cities of old Mexico.
The city of Tampico has filled up
all the swamps and low places around
1T with gravel and sand at cost of
several millions. The high land is
now nearly all occupied, and to ex-
tend the city it will be necessary to
fill in the saltwater lakes that con
fine it to the present limits.
This country appears to be under
laid with OIL The Waters Pierce
Oil Company has immense refneries
at Tampico. Their rivals, the Pear
sons Of London, operating from Tex
pau pronounced Toothpau), have also
large interests as we'll as two Mexican
companies. All of them are getting
all the leases they can. [ met up with
two men locating oil land for the
Southern Pacific railroad (Harriman).
They told me they had bought for
that road so far 100000 acres Of oil
lands. They have an outfit Of wagons,
hacks and Mexicans, and are going
over the country quietly locating and
buying all the best locations they can.
AS the Waters Pierce Oil Company is
a Standard company, it looks like
Hartman at some future time in
tends to squeeze the Rockefeller
Morgan crowd Anyway the Harri-
man interests are very active in that
country and this probably accounts
for the hostility of Hill and Harri-
man for the control of the South
Texas gateway to Mexico. The gen
tleman in charge Of the Hartman in
terests told me that the oil field ex-
tends from way below Vera Cruz,
Mexico, to Corsicana, Texas, and calls
it the Corsicana field. It is of enor-
NOUS extent The panier oil is in
large pockets, Ebano and Les Bocas,
thirty miles north of Tampico The
new well only furnishes Is barrels.
They are now boring 20 miles farther
west, on the Tamesi. The wells at
Ebano furnish nearly all the oil used
by the Mexican Central roads, who
use oil-burning engines for their
roads

Americans. They are buying up de-
sirable large ranches and dividing
them up and colonizing them. Four

TRUST HIT
IN BIG LAND DEAL
independent Coke Men Steal
March on Rivals and GobbIe
. Up Rich Prize.

PITTSBURG, Aug. ia deal on
coking coal lands involving about
81, 0O0, 600 has just closed here. when
George H.. Whye1, of Uniontown, rep
%resenting j. V. Thompson in the indie
pendent coke merger, closed a transac-
ton fer more than 600 acres on the
edge of the old Connellsville field, pay
ing the top price of $4,000 per acre for
it. Closing thissdeal brings out the fact
that the Steel Corporation. which has
been in search of new coking coal,
was beaten u by the Independents in
a race for this choice bit of land.
Some time ago the corporation,
through the H. C.. Frick Coke Com
pany, made a high offer for this land,
which is on Little S~ewickley Cxek, but
the owners were consideringS PROPOSE
lions from the independents. There
was some lively bidding, as the prop
erty was admittedly of greater value
to the corporation han to any other
interest. Those in charge of the indie
pendent coke merger determined to get
the land, cost what it might, since it
was considered an issue between the
corporation fuel interests and the in
dependents.
1t is not the intention of the indie
pendents to develop this property at
once, but to hold it in reserve.

MARKET DULL
AND SLUGGISH
Attack on List Is Felt by Union
Pacific, Reading and
st. Paul.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Business was
on a large scale at the outset on the
stock exchange. today and the market
was materially above yesterdays clos
ing for most of the important stocks.
Union Pacific got UP IL and the pre-
ferred and New York Central ], Louis
vile and Nashville Ia and U. S. Rub
Der .. Large fractional advances were
made in other favorites. such as st.
Paul, Reading and Southern Pacific.
II o'clock-Speculation broadened and
there was a large accumulation Of all
classes of stocks, with the low-priced
s~pecialities in keen demand. The
vance much as a rule beyond. their
first prices, realizing sales holding
them in check, while the advance was
continued at other points. This SELL
ing ultimately brought about reactions
all around, and Union Pacific preferred
and Amalgamated Copper sold a point
below yesterdays closing. Among the
notable gains were: Atlantic Coast
line 3, Third Avenue and Pacific Mail 2,
Railway Steel Spring IA, and Chesa-
peake n Ohio, Brooklyn Transit and
a number OF others a point or more.
Liberal selling for both accounts drove
the average of prices below yesterdays
closing. al which level the market be-
gan to show signs of support. Suisse
quently there was a moderate advance
all along the line, but there was an en-
tire absence of the recent snap and an
imation to the dealings. Some of the
usually inactive stocks became con
spicuous in the rally, particularly Kan
sas City Southern, which rose over 2
points to above 80. Bonds were steady.
1 o'clock-A short and vigorous at
tack was made against the market
directly after midday. and before it was
over Union Pacific, Reading and st.
Paul had been forced to a point below
yesterdays final prices. Northwestern
lost Ia and some of the earlier strong
s~pecialties surrendered a large part of
their gains. There was some demand
for Union Pacific from the shorts
around low points, and it rallied a
point, but the balance of the list be-
came sluggish and dull.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady. at AZ advance of 61s
points. with active months selling about
s to 10 points net higher on hrmer cables

temperatures. Realizing was very heavy
around 1887 for December, and the mar
ket later sold of 6 or I points from the
hest. hut was teadi by a renewal Of
demand from the same strong spot people
who appeared to be buying late yester-
day, n during the middle of the morn
ing ruled about 3 to 4 points net higher.
The market was quiet and steady late
in the forenoon with prices ruling about
a point or two net higher on moderate
support from some of the leading spot
houses. while the bullish reports from
the southwest seem to be checking any
thing like aggressive selling for short
account.

Washington Hears That Power
of Issue Would Be Taken from
National Institutions.

WASHINGTON. Aug. Ex-senator
Aldrich, father-in-law of John D.
Rockefeller, jr., one of the authors Of
the new tariff law. the most dominant
and forceful legislator in Congress, is
the instigator of a monetary system
for the United States, which. if passed
into legislation, will be the most .revo-
%lutionary of its kind in all commercial
history.
Senator Aldrich plans to have a cen
trail bank. 1t may not be called a
bank. Possibly it will be classified as
a national clearing house" In any
event national banks are TO cease the
issuance of banking notes. Instead of
the ordinary bill used in the demands
of the financial world will come green
back currency printed by some central
banking power.
That power will not be vested in the
government of the United States. It
will be licensed to some banking insti-
tuition, the nature of which. the FUND
ers of which, the controllers of WIN. oh
are yet unknown.
1t Will wrest from all banks at 7res-
ent empowered to issue currency the
right to circulate notes. AS arranged,
Senator Aldrich is not to attack State
banks or savings institutions.
