1t is being rumored that the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Sea.
board Air Line have come TO
terms and expect to erect a de
pot, near the present location of
the Chesterfield and Lancaster
depot, to be used by all roads
coming into Ceraw as a union
station. This building, as we
understand, will be a modern
structure built of brick or stone
and with every modern conven-
ience.
This will be a great thing for
Cheraw in more ways than one
1t means that that part of tow, l.,
once considered to be very unfa-
vorably located for the reason
that it was so far from the busi-
ness section of town, will be very
valuable indeed. 1t means thai
all through trains stop at Che

for the travelling public.
Now that the railroads have
have their eye on Cberaw, it will
be we'll for the board of trade to
make some effort to have the

RECORD OUTPUT
OF RAND GOLD

NEW YORK, Aug 10.-A spirit
of caution on the part or those
who have been operating In the
stock market for an advance IN
prices began to manifest itself IN
the action of the market TO-DAY.
The feeling was based as much on
the duration and extent of the re-
covery as on any positive develop
ment bearing on values.
The low prices of the year were
touched two weeks ago and no
important interruption of the re-
covery has occurred since that
time. The average prices of the
stocks usually selected as most
representative of the whole mark
cts movement sold this morning
rather more than points higher
than two weeks ago. In the ac-
tive market leaders the advance
has been greater, reaching from
about 10 to Is points in a number
Of cases.
AS the recovery has proceeded
the demand to borrow stocks for
there was reported in the loan de-
partment the return of blocks of
stocks which have been so bor-
rowed for delivery.
Signs appeared of an increased
disposition to sell stocks, which
were taken to mean that buyers at
the lower prices were desirous to
convert their profits into cash.
4 firmer tone was reported ia
the market for copper both in
London and in New York in re
sponse to the Improvement in the
statistical position of that metal.
The policy of reduced output by
the leading producers is accepted
as fact at present. but there re-
mains the fear that the consump-
tive demand hitherto sustained at
high figures will be affected now
by the tendency toward recession
which shows in other industries.
Another item in the days metal
statistics was the statement of the
July output of gold at the Rand,
showing 36S,714 ounces valued at
S13,565,415. Except for the $780,
645 fine ounces of December, 1908,
which was affected by the adjust
ment of the previous years ac-
counted residue, the July produc-
tion constitutes a record month.
The fact is not without bearing on
the prospect for continued replen-
ishment of bank reserves through
the gold supplies in the London
market.
