Col lapse of the Trust and a Big Rise in the Pricei Richrnond Dispatch. Norfolk, Va., Jan. 19. (Special) The big trust, which was prcjected' by ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio, the object of which was to control the pea nut market of the world, failed to close lap its options secured on many of the mills in this section.. This, it is said, was because several large West ern concerns land the'; largest of the Virginia cleaners declined to consider the overtures pf the trust. In view of the collapse of the new enterprise the rise in the price of peanuts which has taken place in the last few days is little short of phenomenal. A. lump of 1 cent in best grades has started the trade, and the shorts in this city are rapidly filling their ware houses. They assert that the advance is due to the i machinations of those firms which bought heavily when; it seemed that the trust would be con sumated. These parties, it is declared by the bears, are attempting to unload uncleaned nuts at a higher price than they bought them for. i v The situation is interesting, and the farmers who have any stock on j hand are! reaping a harvest. - It is claimed that there are many thousands or Dags of peanuts stored on the farms, but in this city there are but few nuts, com pared with the supply this: time last year. The firm of cleaners' usually considered oh the bear side has bought in the last two days 15,000 bags, RIVER AND RAIL. Receipts Naval Stores Yesterday. . and Cotton W. & W.

The work of tearing away the old First National Bank building to give place to the new Masonic jTemple is now well under; way. About fifteen laborers are now . at work and it is probable that others will be i added to day. The roof was taken off jester- day and several feet of the walls were taken down. The work of demolition will probably require about three weeks. It will be the policy of the building committee under whose di rection the work is being done to as far as possible give the preference to white labor. : t ARGUMENT HEARD IN WINSTON.
