with Philadelphia than any other Ameri-

tury has elapsed since his death, there
are in existence there more buildings held
memorable on account of the great Ameri-
cans visit than may be found elsewhere.
1t is true that the word tradition is often
very loosely applied to some of the tales
of Washington's visit to this or that house,
but. after eliminating all the suspicious
memorials, there still remain very con-
siderable number-far more than the

performances while in Philadelphia.
Aside from those national relics, In
dependence hall, Carpenters hall,
Christ church and st. Peters church,
it is a strange commentary on the
vicissitudes of buildings to note that
the majority of the places standing
which have gained Immortality by
sheltering the first president are near
ly all Of them old inns, or taverns. In
the majority of cases Washington's
connection with the old houses is
limited to having taken a meal in the
old posthouses, and, indeed, the only
other buildings identified with his
Philadelphia visits are those where he
was entertained, either publicly or So
cially
Between 1857 and 1773 it does not
appear that Washington visited the
city, but in the latter year he passed
through Philadelphia on his way to
New York where he placed his step
son in Kings college. Thereafter he
was more frequently seen there, and
after he left New York, in 1890 when
the capital was removed to Philadel-
phia, he never again visited New York.
and the last years of his life were
passed very largely in Philadelphia
1t appears that Philadelphia very
nearly had Washington for a perma-
nent resident at one time. When con-
gress decided to move the national
capital from New York to Philadelphia

If so, I strongly recommend the purchase of a bond for that amount issued by the Canifornia Consol- dated Mines company.
 The security Is unquestioned, and 1t bears interest at the rate of per cent per annum. With the bond you will receive stock of the company of the par value of 5000 and this stock should be earning dividends of fully 15 per cent within two years, within four years 1t will surely earn dividends in excess of 25 per cent.

QUIET DAY ON
 MORRIS AVENUE

On account of the fact that it was a holiday yesterday was generally quiet in the local markets.
 In the produce line receipts were heavy yesterday, while business was somewhat off. The feature of the mar ket was the decided decline in the price of eggs, attributable to the heavy re- ceipts of the staple. Fresh country eggs were quoted yesterday at 22 cents dozen, this being a drop of cents since Saturday. It Is probable that the price will go down to 20 cents within the next few days.
 Quotations in the cotton and the meat markets were unchanged, the mar kets being closed.
 In the grain mark ct prices are still advancing. Second patent Hours ad- vanced. from s5.75 to $6 barrel yes terday Pure wheat bran advanced from s2S to s29 ton.
 Following are prices quoted yester- day:
