WIuttj in Its Secnritit-s Caused by Reports Yavorable to the Interests of the Holders The Baltimore Sun of yesterday con tains ther following interesting informa tion concerning one of Wilmington's railroads: A flurry in the securities of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad yester day stirred up some excitement on the stock exchange. Compared with prices of a week ago, 10 per cent, more was bid for series A bonds, 11 per cent for series B, and sales of series C were made at an advance of 13 per cent, over what was offered for them a week ago. During the day B bonds sold from 47 up to 49, with 60 bid at the close and C bonds sold from 47 up to 51. Two reasons were given by the street for these advances. One was t'he settle ment of the differences between t!he Sea board Air Line and the Southern railway promising more stable rates, and the oth- ' er was the belief that the court of ap peals would affirm the decision of Judge Simon ton ordering that the road should be sold as an entirety and not by dlvl- . slons. If tints decision is upheld the plans of the Baltimore reorganization commit tee will be carried out. It is understood that a reorganization of the property will develop the appear ance in control of a strong railway Inter est. In some quarters the Southern rail .way Is regarded as likely to get control of the property, while others believe that an alliance with the Sea'board Air Line will be formed. At a meeting of the company's bondholders in Baltimore about two. years ago propositions were submitted by both the Seaboard and the Southern. The Seaboard offered to oper ate the Whole property and the South- l em's bid was to take division A. Under Receiver Gill the road has been put in fine physical condition and the earnings are reported to -be greater than at any time In the history of the road. The Artesian Well Messrs. 'Thompson ,& Storey, contrac tors for the artesian well of the Claren don -Waterworks Company at Hilton, reached a depth of -150 feet last night when work was suspended for the day. Professor J. A.

He ar rived here yesterday to secure specimens of t'he sands, clay, and rock through -which the drill may pass, and to secure any - other specimens that it is possible to obtain." He has made arrangements to get specimens from the top to the bot tom of the! well, and will exhibit' them In stands, one to be kept at the state university nd one in the state museum .v at Raleigh: As soon as a vein of flow " 'ng water Is struck he will secure sam- "Vples of thij water for analysis, and will closely watch for anything t!hat will be o'f interest or value concerning- the ex perlment to obtain a supply" of pure water.

Thomas states to a Messen ger ! representative that he was riding out -Market street "at "a rlg-ht smart gait,", when he saw Mr. Mac Eae's son, Hugh, chase little Walter from the grass plot across the street towards the pavement. He says he hollowed - to the children; to look out, rang his -bell . and ; tried to stop !hds iwheel, but when he shouted out the warning, "Mr. Pars ley's little eon stopped -arnkl faced him and the bicycle struck him and knock ed him down; When the "Wheel fell, Mr. MacRae's little' boy, who could not stop himself, ran over it and fell, also hurting himself, receiving & blow that caused a seveire'contusion on this fore head. Thomas Immediately picked, up Mr. "Parsley - tittle boy nl 7 -carried htm over to Mr. MacRae's residence and thence he was taken to Mr. Pars ley's home next door. . Br. George O.

He. says , he does not desire to prosecute 'Thomas. Little Walter was five years old In June last and was a manly and very bright child. In the very great be reavement his parents have received from this shocking death of their little boy, they have the deep sympathy of the entire community.

At mid night the indomitable eighteen were still pedaling their way around the high banked floor of Madison Square garden. From mid-night to mid-higat Miller had put more than 350 miles be hind him. This marvelous record 9n the third day of the great race car ried' him along to a total of more than 1,200 miles in seventy-one hours, 139 miles ahead of the former record. Dur ing this weary journey Miller has left the track but for a few hours. With the exception perhaps of Stephane, the Frenchman, Miller had up to late in the afternoon had less sleep than any other man on the track. And, not withstanding this, Miller is seemingly in as good condition as he was yester day, "when experts claimed that he and Rice, 'the Wilkesbarre coal miner, were in the best shape of all the, riders . The next man to Miller at the pres ent time is Rice, and he is something more than fifty miles behind. But he is strong and seems to have the same determination that carried him- almost to the (front in the big race of last year. .' - Last year's crampion, Teddy Hale, whose great ride then promised to be far outdone this year, is now making up ground. He is almost 175 miles be hind the leader, but, nevertheless he has crept up from tenth place, which he held last night, to' eighth place, and Is certain to go much i higher the end is reached. before Meeting of American Church Slisiionaiy Society Philadelphia, December 8.

In an interview wtth a representative of the Associated Press, Mr. Hoshl admitted that the object of his mission to Japan was to ascertain the views of his government on the pro posed anncAaliuii trt -H.arm.U ojoA to pro cure instructions from the mikado rela tive to the course he was expected to pursue in case the treaty shall be rat ified by congress. ''The impression - has gone. out to the American press," said Mn Hoshl, "that we' propose to recall the protest entered by Japan against the acquisition of (he Sandwicii islands by the United States government. This is misleading and un true. Japan, has always maintained am icable relations with the United States and it is not our purpose now to take any. steps that would lead to a breach of mutual good will, but at the 6ame time Japan will stand firmly in the maintenance of its rights and privileges acquired under the treaty with the Ha waiian government.

Germany's Comnpercial Policy (From The Chautauqua.) some respects all the trading na tions may emttla-io Ctermafy"S;""exafiflpla with advantage. NO country ever sprang in so short a time to the front rank in foreign commerce as Germany has dona. The excellence of her technical schools, where methods of metal working and other industrial processes are taught, her permanent exhibitions or tne commodi ties entering into her export and import trade, her expeditions of exports sent to foreign fields to promote German trade and learn all facts that will profit her ex porters, her careful studying of the pecu liarities and demands of her customers, and the avidity with which she seeks new customers, are most important ele ments in t'he progress she has made; and some or her people are not above resort ing to devices that are unfair even in rivals. Much as she wants our raw ma terials and food supplies, her agrarian party circulates the boldest slanders as 'to their quality. Germany needs t'hesa commodities from us. but she is doing her level best to keep out all our man ufactures which she thinks she can her self provide.

It is said that the seuppernong grape will yield 1,000 gallons of wine per acre It is also said that Chesterfield county has hundreds f acreis of land that wont grow cowpeas and yet this very land is said to 'be the very thing for grape growing. We are, surprised that someone has not started this Indus try before now. In California new wine. it is said, sells for twenty-one cents gallon, and a yield of a thousand gal lons an acre would bring 210. What crop have we that will bring that much? Let someone give this industry a trial. A few dollars for grape roots will all that is necessary to start on. Pineapples In Florida (Jacksonville Times-UnlOn.) Net profits from each acre of plneap pies grown on the Indian river, $300 irom six acres, ii.soo; rrom ten acres $3,000, and so on up to thirty, forty, fifty and even sixty acres. These are not im aginary figures, but actual returns from the crop or the present year. The au t'horities on pineapple culture on the east coast of Florida consider $300 an acre a very conservative estimate of net profits par annum if the fruit is raised and 'nanoied with ordinary care and pru dence. Some growers during the last season have realized as much as $400 per acre. - Fordham O, 'Wicker has been ap pointed fourth class postmaster at Pinehurst, N. C. Tutf s Pills Cure All Liver Ills.
