Una Capital of 3100,000. and Will Operate In Pnrke County, Near KockTille. The Incorporation of the Columbia Clay Product Company by Indianapolis men last week Is understood to be a complete effort to begin competition with the National Fire Proofing Company, of New Y'ork, which Is known as the fireproof tile and clay conduit trust. It has a capital of $12. &O.000, and has twenty-one operating plants. The Columbia company has a capital of J1',000. It -was organixed by Frank Kei slng, for many years a contractor here but who has for nearly ten years been New York agent for the fireproof trust. Mr. Kesslng played a large part In organizing this trust. The Columbia company has secured ninety acres of land near Rockville. Parke county, and will proceed to build a factory. The land Is clay and shale, underneath which Is a larpre deposit of soft coal. This coal will be taken to operate the factory, which will have when completed about twenty-flve kilns. The company will man ufacture hollow fireproof tiling and hollow conduits. Mr. Kessdng, It Is understood, will have charge of the manufacturing plant. His previous connection with the trust Is expected to be a big thing for the company, as he knows the trade thor oughly. Rockville people are much Interested ln the new plant as it will be the third anti trust plant. There is one that makes fire proof tile exclusively at Chattanooga, and the McRoy plant which makes conduits at Brazil. The demand for fireproof tiling and1 conduits is so large that the trust ia some distance behind In Its orders, and there is a constantly increasing field for the use of these materials. The plant will have a capacity of about 150 tons a day and the supply of clay and shale is abundant for the neds of the factory for a long time. The economy of the business is found in the fact that both the material needed for manufacturing and the fuel for the plant are taken from the same spot. This is re garded as a big advantage for Western business and will put the products in the New York market on even terms with those made In the East. James S. Cruse Is president of the com pany, and W. A. Khodes secretary and treasurer. MaSBaasMBBiaaMBBBBSSSBSMsSlaaHOSBBBMBBBaM 1 THE COUHT HE COHD. NEW SUITS FILED. Alfred E.

Indiana' Wheitt and Corn. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Looking over Statistician Johnson's re port in the Journal this morning, I am in clined to believe his estimates are too high, both for wheat. and corn. The best wheat crop we ever had yielded twenty-two bush els per acre; this was In 1ST?, when the crop was almost perfect. Sixteen bushels would more nearly represent the average per acre this year. This would make a total of more than 4iv,(s'') bushels. As regards corn. tht-re never has been in what we call the corn States an average of more than forty bushels. Indiana's average for the last ten years, including five of the best crops ever raised, is 32.6 bushels per acre. Our largest averaRes were In 1VW and 1T thirty-eight bushels In each year. Estimating forty bushels will make Tbout ly'0.tX) bushels, which is more than 15 per ct-nt. more than in lfx. AMOS THORNBURGH. Martinsville, Ind., Aug. 16. Killed, Ilol)led and Humeri. KNOX VI LLE.

I'aaaenKer Trafllc Heavy Pennayl vnnln Plnnning to Inatall Elec tric Power mi Short Linea. The train records show that there were 4C2 more laoded cars handled at this point in the week ended Aug. 16 than in the week preceding. While this is not as large an in crease ln tonnage as had been looked for by freight officials, under prevailing conditions it Is as much of an increase as could have been expected, as under the per diem sys tem it Is proving more difficult to keep up the supply of empty cars, matters not yet moving as smoothly as had been antici pated or as will be the case when better systematized. So much of the motive pow er Is undergoing repairs that there is a scarcity of locomotives. The present week piomises to tax the through lines to their capacity, a the new wheat, oats and hay crops will begin to move. There is consid erable of last year's crop of corn to be sold, and so promising la the growing crop that farmers are selling more closely than usual. Through bu?lness west-bound is heavier also, as merchants have begun to lay in fall and winter stocks, and It Is inevitable that east and west-bound business compare fa vorably, cars being loaded in both direc tions, which is favorable, and results are fhown In earnings. Local traffic is all that could be desired. In no former year has the platform business of Indianapolis lines been more satisfactory, and the same romark will apply to bulk tracks, larger quantities of fruits and vegetables having been han dled than In any season for years, and local manufacturers are still heavy shippers. The train records show that there were re ceived and forwarded at Indianapolis a to tal of ,802 cars, 22,209 being loaded, against 21,717 in the Corresponding week of 1901. and against 19,321) loaded cars ln 1000, as follows: Name of Road. 1902. 1901.

As at Indianapolis, reports from all rail road centers show an unprecedented vol ume of travel, not only excursion, but reg ular business. The sales of the Indianap olis lines for July were fully $10,000 in ex cess of those of July. HOI. and reports from Chicago, St. Louis. Peoria, Cincinnati, Co lumbus and Cleveland show large gains this- year, and with the Southern roads it has been even more striking than with Northern lines, travel northward having been large beyond all records, and present conditions promise to continue through this month, September and October. The Pitts burg Post says: "Reports show that the conditions this year are far different from those of any previous season, and exceed by fat the expectations of the most con servative officials. Naturally the greatest increase shown will be in the city ticket office of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It Is caid that the sales here have reached a truly enormous stage. During the sale of the Atlantic City excursion tickets last week the receipts for one day exceeded $15,000, marking the largest one-day sale in the office during its history. This included, in addition to the excursion tickets, the sales on all divisions. "From present reports it Is shown that the Baltimore & Ohio during the month of July increased the ticket sales over the same period of last year by fully $22,000. Although the reports up to date are Incom plete, the figures give positive assurance that the increase for the season over any previous year will be between 30 and 40 per cent. "The Pittsburg & Lake Erie reports a substantial advance in the sale of tickets durii.g the month of July. The increase of this road over the corresponding period of last year will be upward of $10,00U. Never in the history of the local lines have the passenger sales approached the records of the present season. All predictions of the officials at the early part of the season have been more than fulfilled, and it is reasonable to suppos that the passenger earnings out of Pittsburg at the end of the year will be an important feature in the net profits of the various companies." A Novel Snlt. L. W. Rellly, a journalist, has sued the Pullman Company for $5,00) damages. He says his family lives in Baltimore; that on Sunday, Feb. 2, he bought a ticket from Baltimore to Tittsburg and asked for a lower berth in a Pullman: that he was told he could not get a lower berth; that he could pay for one and get on the train; that his name would be placed on the train card and if possible he could get a lower berth. No berth ticket was given him. lie avers that the conductor of the train told him his name was not on the train card and that unless he paid for a berth he would be ejected from the car. Reilly says he explained the situation to the conductor, but the latter was obstinate and insisted in his demand. He says by reason of his hav ing given all of his money, with the ex ception of enough to buy his breakfast, to his wife, he was unable to pay for a berth and thnt he was compelled to tell the conductor this ln the presence of other passengers, greatly to his humiliation. He also says that his eyesight was bad and being weak and nervous from sickness, he needed a night's rest. He says that after having sat up during the night in a day coach his physical condition was weakened so that he could not follow his usual oc cupation as an editorial writer. Heavy Traffic Over the Ilelt Road. In the week ended Aug. 15 there were transferred over the Belt road a total of 20,fi0d cars. Belt road engines handled at the stockyards 1,127 carloads of live stock, and for private switches located on its line 1.411 cars. In each case it was the heaviest business done in any one week for severa' montns. Personal, Local anil General Notes. Stockholders of Monon will hold their annual meeting In Indianapolis on Sept. 17. C. R. Peddle, purchasing agent of the Vandalia. has returned from his vacation spent in the East. The Toledo. St. Louis & Western Satur day opened its new passenger station at Bluffton for business. James Caldwell, freight agent of the Grand Trunk at Detroit, has been trans ferred to freight agent of the Chicago di vision. Master Car Builder Graham, of the Penn sylvania Company, accompanb-d by his wife. left on Saturday for an extended Eastern trip. Gross earnings of nil the roads In the country for July were $.'16.217,043. a gain of 31 per cent, over last year, and 21 per cent, over July, i:m. M. D. Schaff, Trainmaster of the Rig Four, has returned from an extended Western trip improve. 1 in health. He had been gone since July .'. Ford Wood, general freight agent of the Peoria & Eastrn. accompanied by his son. is on an extended Western trip. including Yellowstone Park and Salt Lake City. The Lake Erie. Alliance & Wheeling road has become a member of the Central Pas senger Association. This road is reaming some importance as a passenger line. The new rules for the repair of rolling stock of the Panhandle, which will become effective Sept. 1. ate blnc sent out by General Superintendent Ralph Peters. The Chicago. Rock Island fc Pacific is ne gotiating for control of the Union Ter minal at Sioux City, and if it succeeds will extend its road from Guthrie Center to Sioux City. The W'estincrsnuse Air Brake Company secured control of Its chief competitor, the New York Air Brake Company, and the result will probably be the merging of the two companies. Southern lines yesterday carried a good many fiorists and horticulturists to Ashe vllle, N. C, to attend the annual conven tion. The rate on the 10th and 17th was one fare for the round trip. Passenger Traffic Manager Sebastian, of the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific, has offered a cash prize of $1' for a suitable i name for the new California train which ; is to be put on in November. Section men on the Omaha division of p the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific have ; struck for an Increase in pay f 25 cents , per day. They now receive $1.25. Only J section foremen are now at work. The new roundhouse of the Pennsylvania at Fort Wayne will have a diameter of ; !? . i . . . ...... I ütd leei. covering inree acres oi Kiouim. and a capacity to house seventy-four loco motives, with a seventy-live-foot turn table in the center. The Lake Erie fc Western will discon tinue its custom of ordering uniforms for its trainmen and making the charge to them, and hereafter they will be allowed to get their own uniforms, using standard specifications as adopted by the road. Preparations are being made for the es tablishment at Nashville. Tenn.. of a large Plntsch compressing plant for the purpose of supplying the several roads running ln that territory with lighting gas for their passenger and Pullman cars. Construction of the extension of the Mis souri. Kansas & Texas from Stevens to Guthrie, O. T., is being pushed. The con tractors are much troubled to secure the number of men they want. Track laying is now progressing at the rate of a mile a day. E. L. Abbtt, recently appointed agent of the Lake Shore-Lehlgh Valley route at Columbus, O., spent Sunday ln the city. He states that in the short time the line has been represented at that point it has built up a good business, and the future is promising. When another season of tourist business begins it is stated that there will be an understanding between the trunk lines and the Central Traffic lines as to time when these rates apply. This year the trunk lines started in with May and the Central lines in June. The next meeting of the Central Pas senger Association in Chicago will be an Important one. Applications for reduced rates to a number of conventions to be held this fall and theatrical rates for the win ter will be fixed. Ticket scalpers will come in for a share of the discussion. Benjamin Kelsey, traveling xassenger agent of the Big Four, with headquarters at Marion, O.. was in the city yesterday. He reports large gains in sales of tickets in the territory to which he has been assigned, some stations increasing their sales of tickets from $5,0u0 to $7,000 thus far this year. O. W. Lake, who has been passenger agent of the Wabash at Huntington, Ind., has resigned and taken the management of the Fort Wayne Employes Bureau. He had been with the Wabash for twenty years. M. Hargrove, who has been his assistant for some years, has been appoint ed his successor. General orders have been Issued by the Pennsylvania lines that all partitions in first-class passenger coaches which serve for smoking purposes be removed, and that Instead solid cars be run for the conven ience of smokers. Compartment cars are being sent to the shops as fast as possible to undergo such change. Tolbert C. Fear has sued the Monon for $20.000 damages. He alleges that while working as a section man a train ap proached, running sixty miles an hour. He walked back a distance of fifteen feet, and as the train passed ' him a piece of coal fell from the tank and fractured his Jaw. causing him great pain and exienditure of $100 in surgeon's bills. C. W. Cross, master mechanic of the Lake Shore, has devised an observation car and engine which is a great improvement over the car in which the Lake Shore offi cials went over the Lake Erie & Western last week, which belongs to the New York Central. The Lake Shore officials have in structed Mr. Cross to equip a car and en gine in accordance with his design. The Vandalia on Saturday received two large Atlantic type engines from the American locomotive works, and to-day will receive two others, ordered some months ago. They are 10,000 pounds heav ier than any passenger locomotive now ln use on the road. On Sept. 1 the road will begin receiving six large freight locomo tives. The road is greatly in need of their services. The Pennsylvania management has au thorized a change in the steps of their passenger equipment. As each car goes into the shop It Is provided with four In stead of three steps. This will bring the distance between the steps two and a half Inches closer now. The work will cost over $100,000, and will apply to lines west as well as east of Tittsburg, including the Vandalia. The Pennsylvania is planning to install electric motive power between Pittsburg and Pitcairn. A motor Is now under course of construction in the Westinghouse works at East Pittsburg, which has been de signed according to the dictations of the railroad company's engineers. The motor is of the kind operated by the third-rail system, and in a measure similar to those recently adopted by the New York Central Railroad Company for local service out of New York city. A stretch of test track has been laid at the East Pittsburg works on which the new engine will be given a thorough trial. If adopted for use on the railroad the laying of the third track be tween Pittsburg and Pitcairn will be start ed within a short time.

German day has perhaps never been so successfully celebrated ln this city as it was yesterday at Germania Park. The conditions essential for making the outing one to be remembered were all that could be expected. In view of this over 6,0o0 Germans took advantage of the day and participated in the picnic. The affair be gan in the morning at 9:30 with a parade. It was made up of forty-three societies of the Federation of German Societies. Each society was headed by its particular ban ner. The procession formed at 9 o'clock at Maennerchor Hall. Capt. J. L. Bieler act ed as grand marshal, assisted by J. w. Loeper, as chief of staff, with Richard Lie ber and George Deluse and the marshal of each society as assistants. The parade was headed by the Indianap olis Military Rand, followed by the Knights of. St. George, under command of Cant Charles Gardner. Immediately following were the various societies comprising the Federation of German Societies. Bringing up the rear were the English Zouaves, un der command of Capt. Jacob Fox, and the Indianapolis Zouave Cadets. A parade of the down-town street was made, after which the procession disbanded at Ger mania Hall. Cars were then boarded for Germania Park. Prior to the parade Captain I'loier presented the Indianapolis Zouave cadets witn a fine silk flag. The exercises at the park beg-an at 3 o'clock. By that time the park had be come crowded. The formal programme for the day began with a speech by Dr. Isen lohr, of Cincinnati. He spoke in German on "The World Mission of the Germans." He said the German people hail a mission not owly in their own country, or America. but in other parts of the world. He said the German people were to be congratu lated on their work of forcing civilization on the neatnens in the far East, where at first, the aggression of th Germans had become to be looked urMn by other countries as havtnpr an ill meaning, but now those same nations are only too ready to oner a neiping nan.i, since they clearly understand the Kaiser's policy. Following Dr. Isenlohr the two zouave companies aave an exhibtion drill, followed by a number of gymnastic gamen played by tne noys and Klrls. W hile there were ln progress the South Side Maennerchor. Harftuarl Sangerchor. Socialistic Senjfer bund. Indi.inajtolls Liederkranz and the Indianapolis Maennerchor gave several vocal selections.

A new star blazes ln the literary firma ment. Indiana's latest author has booked a reserved niche in the Hall of Fame and has at the same time gathered unto him- i self enough shekels to keep the wolf from the door until he is ready to fill the niche. The crown of success was placed upon his blushing brow last Saturday night amid wild huzzas from the throats of four hundred of the author's townsmen. Saluted by salvos of hand clapping, that roared like the wild sea waves upon the breakers of a stormy coast, C. A. Robinson, of Greenfield, chief of the Wenonahs, Great Sun Dis covery 411, author of "The Roving Red Rangers, or Laura Lamar of the Susque hanna." entered into his own and became one of the immortals. Even the vulgar sound of silver coins being counted in the theater box-office could not disturb the celestial harmonies of the supreme mo ment of triumph. It was in Gant's Opera House Saturday night that the gods boosted literature, the drama and the fortunes of C. A. Robinson, chief of the Wenonahs, in three hours of such tempestuoslty that the emotions of the fortunate four hundred were shaken and beaten into mere rags of feeling. Fol lowing the fortunes of the golden-haired heroine, Laura Lamar, hope, fear, Joy, sorrow, wonder, expectation, all were ex hausted, used up, pumped out, left limp and formless as a towel laundered and hung to dry on a back-yard clothes line. It is true that after the creator of the stirring and moving tale finished his polished and touching speech of thanks to the awed four hundred, their brains, which had been stunned by overpowering emotional activi ty, responded by exciting larnyxes and hand-palms to singularly powerful demon strations; but only the native genius of the author, Hashing through his speech of thanks, could have electrified emotions taxed by such a tremendous and even dan gerous drain of resources. The very sight was an inspiration to youth; to those who may have rosy dreams of some day stand ing ia the exalted way with the author of "The Red Rangers;" of making a distinct contribution to literature and art; of them selves pulling some day the latch string of the hall where dwell the togaed senators of re-alized achievement. Facing that for tunate four hundred left as has been said, weak and nerveless from the dissipation of their powers to feel, but buoyed up ln their mental exhaustion by the personality of Chief Robinson were the chief himself, calm and seemingly oblivious to the storm that raged around him, and one Rosskam, the gifted Chicago dramatizer, with a repu tation himself along certain lines. Truly inspiring, exhilarative and uplifting. Who is Chief Robinson? The eager ques tion was answered recently by the New York Sun in a fun-poking article alluding to Indiana's sudden spring into literary fame with the erroneous statement that the chief is an Indian. Literally, however, C. A. ltobison is not an Indian. He oc cupies the distinguished position of chief of the Wenonah Tribe of the Order of Red Men. and is a plain man with the modesty of true genius. For two years he has been a townsman of Greenfield; the rest of his life he has spent in Indiana, having been born in Hancock county. Whatever visions the Sun man may have had of a file of silent red brothers stalking grimly into the Greenfield theater, red-blanketed and turkey-feathered, puffing at pace pipes and perhaps not altogether pleased with the ef forts of the chief along lines hitherto re garded as purely Caucasian, would have been dissipated by the real show. The only Indians present were the Little-Boys-Unafraid, whooping and howling ln the gal lery. As to the play itself, which departs little from the book, it may be said in all truth that few literary and dramatic successes are like it. The carping critic, troubled by the microbe of supercilious attention to unimportant details, may grumble some what at the lack of that which, for want of better name, may be termed consistency of plot, and a lofty disregard of the unities, but to a genius of Robinson's kind such trifling matters must always be subservient to action roaring, fiaming, hustling, pant ins? action. Suppose the plot threads do get tangled now and then, occasionally dropping out of th? web altogether, what matters it if the deus ex machina bobs up serenely in time to circumvent the wiles of the villain with the naughty Van Dyke and to rescue the heroine from a fate worse than death? Action is the thing; action il luminated by the lamp of the peaceful honve circle, the sinister beams of the ad venturer's dark lantern, the burning of the old mill and voiced by the death cries of the worste-d villain and the happy cooing of the "little gal." STORY OF THE PLAY. All this, in a word, is "The Roving Red Rangers; or, Laura Lamar of the Susque hanna." The play is the narration of the fortunes of a simple familyMiving in a fron tier village sorely plagued by warlike In dians under the chieftainship of a white renegade. The characters are: Laura Lamar; Mrs. John Lamar; Martha Ann, a poor relation; Rube, Martha's son; Mrs. Perkins, one of the villagers; Henry Anson, alias Rattlesnake; John Lamar, a frontier settler; Walter Vanway, in love with Laura; Jumping Fox, Rattlesnake's companion; Kidder, just at the postoffice; Simon Barker, editor of the Squealer; Pat Murphy, an Irish hero; Hurricane Bill. The first act, strong in Its simplicity, gives promise of wonderful complications. In the first scene Martha Ann, the poor re lation, is discovered to have matrimonial designs upon Simon Barker, the editor, a jewel in the rough, with a pronounced lik ing for mountain dew. Martha is coy and betwitching, in a Mother Hubbard of green and yellow. Simon, in a linen duster, small, red-topped boots and a high hat, the ordi nary rural attire, makes bashful love. To them enters John Lamar, a simple son of toil, and Mrs. Lamar, who, it soon appears, has a past. At opportune moments come the son, a splendid youth In patent leather boots, carrying a fowling piece, and Laura, attired ln buckskin, displaying a remark able familiarity with deadl weapons. Gaspingly she relates to the. family circle a tale of pure horror. Itiding her mare Black bird along the trail, she finds the body of the murdered mail carrier, his pouch robbed. She is pursued by two redskins, but outsrips them and gets safely home. The pursuers call to her in English, and. singularly enough, make no gun play, all of which is mystifying to the simple child of nature. Later still comes a Philadelphia lawyer, a strange and wonderful creature, with the joyful news that Laura, who is but an adopted child, has fallen heir to a great fortune in Philadelphia, and that it is his duty to escort her East to. loving rela tives. To the discerning person it is evi dent at first glance that the lawyer Is an imposter and a rank villain, and the La mars suspect it almost as quickly as the critics in the gallery. Amid tears and sobs Laura Informs her foster father that she will never leave him for gold, and the Phil adelphia lawyer stands discomfited. To these, swayed by powerful emotions, enters a ragged tramp, who starts at the sight of the Philadelphia lawyer and dramatically accuses him of being the murderer of the mail carrier. The tramp, of course, had been concealed ln the usual hedge. The act ends with no less than four guns pointed at the head of the legal viper, who stands with a sneering smile and a sort of Iil-blde-my-time expression on his white face. The strain was somewhat relieved be tween the first and second act by the heroine, Laura, with the golden hair streaming down her back, coming out in full costume and singing: "Yield not to temptation, For yielding is sin." In the second act the plot thickens with the rapidity of curdling milk. Anson, the renegade ami pseudo lawyer, in some un explainable way. is able to get out of the range of the four guns and to return to his life of crime and sin. On a mountain trail he meets his righf bower in the Red Rangers, Jumping Fox. and the two have a long and affecting conversation, in which it appears that they have been crossed In love. Ope begins to feel that It Is a shame such an unfortunate, mistreated man should be so naughty. The dim light, the red blankets of the two, and the weepy, creepy music of th" "professor" at the piano have miuh to do with the feeling of regret and it is probably spurious. WONDERFUL DRAMATIC INTENSITY. No better evidence of the dramatic in tensity of this, the most powerful act ln the play, could be given than the following AMI SEM WEEK OF AUG. 18, ENGAGEMENT EXTRAORDINARY, EUGENE COWLES AMERICA'S rOTULAR BASSO. 3 Musicians Ostend if s Concert Ittnd 6 So oit.

"Jumping Fox. listen!" "I give car. Rattlesnake." "Curse that girl! I'll have her. When I have her she will be in my power!" "Rattlesnake, you are in love." "What else Jumping Fox. what else?" "Would ti e Rattlesnake like to know?" "Speak. Jumping Fox. I will listen." "A pale face has stolen your white squaw!" "Sorcerer! How did you know this?" At this juncture Jumping Fox bethinks himself of an engagement and gives Mrs. Lamar, the woman with a past, an oppor tunity to wander along the trail and con Verse with Rattlesnake, no other than Henry Anson, and the false attorney of Philadelphia. To the meanest intellect it soon becomes evident that these two have been much to each other in the past, for he hails her as his lost "Loco." and wants to clear out at once to some happier spot, where they may live in peace and quiet. With noble scorn she spurns his false love, and he replies, with his face working with a terrible passion: "I have spread the net. You are at last in the tolls; Loco, you are mine!" To this Mrs. Lamar, drawing a shining dagger and pointing it straight at her pal pitating bosom, replies, with a side glance at the audience: "This glittering steel will rest In my bleeding heart before Henry Anson's head rests upon It!" Then ensues a mad chase up a convenient cliff during which toe brave and noble woman outstrips the villainous Anson and makes good her escape. Not before, how ever. Nemesis, in the person of the ragged tramp, prevents Anson shooting the fleeing woman by getting the drop on Anson him self, with these brave words: "Hold on, you strawberry blonde, your game is up!" The last two acts of the play, while suf ficiently intense to hold the attention of the audience to the last moment, let down a bit and fail to approach the power of Act II. As things work toward the end it develops that the tramp is no other than a Philadelphia detective, who has long been on Anson's trail, and who has a war rant for his arrest for the crime of bank robbery. More comedy is furnished by the marriage of Editor Barker and Martha Ann, and the fall from grace of the new bridegroom in company with a jug of rum. The play ends with the death of Anson, unrepentant, at the hand of young Lamar, who escapes the dagger of Anson, and who falls on his panting breast in an ecstacy of gratitude and love. Dazed by the power of a man's genius the four hundred file out of the theater at a quarter to 12, and with them a reporter, who had failed to keep an eye on the running Greenfield interurban cars. No better testimony of the power of the play can be asked than the simple statement that the reporter came to only when he realized the last car for Indianapolis had gone, and that he had available assets consisting of only 15 cents and two keys. The fire of another man's genius will not keep the body warm in the early morning hours, and it was a case of hypnotizing a hotel clerk or of taking to the open. A little luggage was acquired by the pur chase of two hamburger sandwiches, done up in a paper parcel, and fortified by the sandwiches and the consciousness of in tegrity, a dignified front was assumed which won a bed and the sympathy of the night man. Literary pilgrimages, for those who are peculiarly susceptible to dramatic Intensity, are not without danger, or, at least, dis comfort. LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE RATHER A HI LL WEEK EXCEPT IN THE GROCERY LINE. Large Snpplles of Frnlts and Vegeta blesProduce Continues Strong the Markets for Cereals. Taken as a whole, the period ended Aug. 16 was an off week In trade circles, several things combining to make It so. On Com mission row there were home-grown fruit and vegetables to compete with, and s.n many people are away on vacations that it curtails business with the retail i.iei chants and Is reflected to the commission merchants, cutting down their volume of business. Prices are seldom as low on fruits and vegetables as at the present time, and the consumption is ejuite large, despite unfavorable conditions. The prod uce markets are a surprise, poultry and eggs being fast movers at the highest fig ures ever known in the market in August. Choice butter is readily disposed of at good prices. Cheese is firm, but is in great de mand. Flour is much easier, the lower grades being weak at the reductions of Saturday morning, and so large Is the wheat crop th.it an early improvement is not at all probable. Merchants who have the call are the wholesale grocers, their business being at high tide. Farmers are prosperous and are liberal buyers utaple and fancy groceries, and prices rule firm in all lines. Druggists are also quite busy, as are the hardware and iron dealers. With the dry goods houses the boot and shoe merchants and milliners it is quiet times, and will be for two weeks to come, when fall trade will set in. Lornl Grain Market.
