DOUBT IF PRICES 4 ! !.

Willett & Grays review of the raw
sugar market, dated August l, is. as
follows: "a " = .
Last week closed with sellers of
centrifugals at 4.05c. for So deg.
G. 11-16c.), and the market has since
ruled quiet with buyers holding off,
having previously well filled their
wants for the immediate future. Eu-
ropean markets moved gradually to a
moderately lower basis, and, although
the quotations over there are much
above our parity, this weakness had
a sentimental effect here in reducing
the views of some holders, resulting
in sales of August shipment Cubas at
55sc. C. & f., equal to 3.9S5c. per Id.
landed for 96-deg. test. Business in
nearby sugars on same basis may soon
follow, but, meanwhile, the spot quo
tation remains nominal1y unchanged
at 4.05c. - ..... ..
There are not very heavy offerings
of sugar for sale at present The
principal supply from one source is in
Cuba, and the stock there is consid-
erably reduced, and most of it. held
in strong hands, which justifies the
expectation that full value will be
demanded; in fact, the asking prices
today are 11-16c. c. & f. (4.O5c.) and
2Ae. c. & f. (4.11c.), which are now
above buyers views.
The English market for actual sug-
ars is not SO much, above the parity

GREAT INCREASE
OF FARM WEALTH

Henry Clews of New York, In his
special letter Of august 3. says: =.
The United States seems to have
taken in Mother Nature as a special
partner. and once more the country
promises to be favored with good har-
vests. If present calculations are
realized we shall garner 100000 600
bushel wheat crop, a 1900, 00O, 900
bi:shel corn crop and 1900, 000, 900
bushel oats crop. The yield of pota-
toes and hay Is also likely to be con-
siderably ahead of last year. The total
value of these five crops is estimated
at $500. 100000, or about 500, 000. 600
ahead Of last year. In all probability
the aggregate of all agricultural
wealth produced this year will be
about 5000 ,000, 900 as against $500
000, 900, the figures of the Department
of Agriculture last year. What this
annual production of new wealth
means to this country may be esti-
mated when it is remembered that
the capital stock of all the railroads
in the United States is placed at ST.

Bankers in all portions OF the

men of the interior have decided to

lions. This is a practical expression
Of increased confidence based upon
positively improved intrinsic condi-
tions. The cotton crop seems likely
to fall below early expectations, but
the yield will, nevertheless, be large,
and planters are securing prices
which afford good profits. The South
enjoyed exceptional prosperity last
year and is not likely to fall behind
seriously during the next twelve
months. August is usually month
of deterioration. so a moderate falling

Chief Of Police George Black, of Will

The convention was very interesting
Chief Black said, and many instructive
points were brought out by the kers,
some of them being the most prominent
police chiefs in this country and Canada.
The convention was attended by nearly
400 police chiefs from different parts Of
the United States and Canada. Besides
attending the convention the visiting

shown about Toronto by the citizens and

On Tuesday there was an outing for the
visitors, and on Wednesday they we're
taken about 50 miles out of the city to
view a new jail, which is being built
On Thursday afternoon the guests WIT
messed game of baseball between the
Toronto team and the Buffalo team. On
Friday night they were guests at an elab
crate banquet held in King Edward
Hotel, which Is the finest in Toronto.
At the convention, after Chief Back
had finished making his address concern
ing Delaware's whipping post, William

Pinkerton detective agency, discussed toe
matter. de Is strong advocate OF the
whipping post for some classes Of criminals
Mr.. PlhkeItOn stated that his motive
for being in favor of the whipping post
is to get rid OF the prowler." {" The
prower," he remarked, lis the man who
wanders into a house at night, knowing
it to be occupied. He is generally the
man who would kill before be would
take the chance of being captured. | be-
lieve for certain offences the whipping
post should be establiahed in all States. "
He doesn't advocate.the return of tue
pillory, which seems rather cruel form
of punishment. 1t consists OF placing
the prisoners arms and body in an un
natural position, of boiling them into
that position by wooden bars, and keep
ing them rigid for an hour.

Uncle Sam a, a Printer

Uncle Sam is the greatest user OF print
er's ink IN the world. In fact be uses so
much that bis annual printing bill a.
mounts to some S., 900, 900 a year. More
than three-fourths of this is expended in
Washington, while the balance represents
printing done for the courts and other
branches of the national establishment
outside of the capital city.
; Noone ever has undertaken to estimate
what it costs to prepare the manuscripts
from which Uncle Sans printers set
their type. This would prove a difficult
task since these manuscripts are almost
wholly the by product of the task of ex-
pending nearly $l,OOO,O 100000 a year.
Nearly all Of them are incidental: but if
one we're to consider only such activities
as are made primarily for the purpose Of
publishing Information it is probable
that the government pays SIS, goo, 600 for
its manuscripts.

Canneries Good for Farmers

In proportion to area and population
this Peninsula leads in the business OF
canning foods. When the canneries
throughout the Peninsula close down, we
begin loading boats with canned goods
and begin also to send canned stuffs to
New York and the large interior cities
by train loads. The canning of fruits
and vegetables has gradually made
tremendous variation of the farming in
dustries of the state. The growing of TO-
matoes has become just as much staple
industry on the Peninsula as q growing
OF wheat, corn, hay or tobacco. It is a
very moderate estimate that places the
full value of this crop in the state at
$3,000,0 COO. This is but one item of the
various foods that are put into tins in this
state and sent all over the world. Among
the other foods that are extensively can
ned are corn, beans, peas, asparagus.
peaches, pears, apples and sweet pota-
toes. Oysters, crab meat and CLANS are
also extensively preserved in cans in the
eanneries of dozen or SO tidewater coun-
ties and in Baltimore canneries. Canning
foods is a manufacturing industry that is
susceptible Of indefinite expansion. In
seeking to promote manufacturing indus.
tries in the state, it is well to proceed
along lines Of natural adaptation.

the action, according to the counsel for
the complainant is the American News

Halloween AnnrOaches

Halloween Is 30 called because it cele-
brates in some measure All Saints day,
or All HaIlows day, which occurs on
November I. Halloween would then
necessarily fall on the last night of Octo-
Der, All Saints day takes its origin from
the conversion in the seventh century of
the Pantheon, at Rome, into a christian
m ii,,1-r- nj a.l:e..: r
Pope Boniface " to the Virgin and all
the martyrs. While Halloween derives
its name from holy day it is clearly a
relic of the pagan celebrations, inter-
mixed, perhaps, with some of the prac-
tices of the Drnids and tempered by
early supeFstitious from other sources.
