A BANDONING conjecture and speculation
let me draw you closer to these haunted
castles environed amid drear landscapes, these
spectral corridors in the guest wings Of ancestral
mansions, these rambling old houses surrounded
by gnarled trees through whose bare branches
the storm winds sound like screaming voices
filling the folk around the fire within with un-
named apprehensions. 1t Is q little difficult to
make a choice among so many spooks clamoring
for attention, but we might do worse than start
at the top of the social tree with the Windsor
Castle ghost, which was one of the first to bob
up this year.
The story breaks in November with the
screams of a housemaid in a corridor OF the
blue drawing room. The King and Queen had
left the day before for Buckingham Palace. A

OF the unfortunate Stuart King who lost his
head. The singular thing was that this cavalier
was not carrying his head under his arm as
all ghosts of Charles are supposed to do. On
the contrary, this ghost was calm and hand
some and in no way frightening, and after
standing quite still beside her for a few mo-
ments, he vanished
Another frequent visitor to the castle, Prin-
cess Beatrice, aunt of the present King, on sew
eral occasions has seen the spirit Of Elizabeth,
the virgin Queen, standing motionless on the
terrace On one of these occasions the prin-
cess black cat also apparently saw the ghost,
for he took sudden alarm and jumped out of
a window and broke his leg.
Then there is a strong rumor. which the re-
porters so far cannot get confirmed or denied.

appeared again, but Is obstinately refusing to

Outlook Bright For South

OulAOOh DiANhN ~
The outlook for high cabbage
prices throughout the balance OF
the season is very encouraging In
view OF the light crops and small
acreage. The South should have
but little old cabbage competition
after another ten days or two weeks.
Last year with a much larger crop,
only 800 cars were marketed after
the first OF February. This year
with a much lighter supply TO draw
upon and the record shipments al
ready made there cannot be many
more old cabbages left in the coun-
try.
This situation OF the market
should give the Southern growers
the finest opportunity in many
yea to make some real money on
the crop that they are to market
in the next few months. With the
public cabbage minded and prices
now at the peak and only small
supplies OF the old stock on hand,
there should be some new high
levels established this spring before
production can again overtake de-
mand.

Heavier Cabbage Consumption
There has been a heavier con-
sumption Of cabbage this year than
last season which may account for
a part OF the advance in the mar
ket along with the short crop In
sight in the South. During the
present year a total Of 43.032 cars
of cabbage have been shipped COM
pared with only 38.023 last year
or a net gain 5,019 cars. The carlot
movement OF the old crop cabbage
is now $500 cars ahead Of the total
movement for last year and the
market is S. to So per ton higher.
Higher prices for cabbage has
brought out a heavier movement
during the last week in January.

ments for January 1880 with the

that the shipments were heavier
than the week previous and much
