Charles Riehl, for the Franklins; Rob
ert Wharton, of tho Hampe team; P.

Franklins; J. Kiefer, of the Arllngtons,
and J. M. Standrlng. Neither the West

be the Hampo team's captain, Charlie
Riehl will be in charge of the Frank
lins, Zelsmer of the Maennerchor, and
Edward Eiselo of the Llederkranz.
As foreshadowed In The Tribune, a
few, days ago, the bicycle clubs of
Lackawanna and Luzerne counties have
held aloof from the city league, and,
Instead, organize a bicycle league.
One or more teams will be entered
by the Scranton Bicycle club, the Green
Ridge Wheelmen, the Electric City
Wheelmen of West Scranton, and the
West End Wheelmen of Wllkes-Barre.
A meeting for organization will soon
be held, and B. P. Connolly, of the
Bicycle club, probably again chosen for
president.
Mr. Connolly and Charles Fowler, of
the Green Ridge Wheelmen, are the
two men to whom may largely be at
tributed the great bowling enthusiasm
of this city and vicinity. They both
worked like beavers in starting tho first
local league in Scranton, and have been
prominently Identified with league roll
ing over since.
Some of tho crack bowlers of the city
can be found In these same clubs, and
the city has yet to turn out a team
which can compete for individual and
team excellence with the ciutnvolon
Scranton Bicycle club rollers of. two
years ago, when Dr. Warden, 'George
Mitchell, Joslah DuJfield.WIlllam Roper
and Charles Moore made up .the team.
John Taylor, of the Green Ridge
Wheelmen, has the highest score to his
credit ever rolled In a local match
game, and Charles Moore, of the Bi
cycle club, Is considered one of the
steadiest nnd most consistent bowlers
In the valley. Wiegand and Yost, of
the West Enders, are two other crack
bowlers. Tho former distinguished him
self in the match game of three years
ago with the star Rosevlllo team, by
finishing high man In a match. In
which some of, tho greutest bowlers of
the country were engaged.

Tho tournament on tho Electric City
Wheelmen's alleys, held during tho
month of July resulted In forty-two
contestants playing 878 games, thirty
games being played by each of tho men
who figured In the averages.
The highest average was made by
Samuel McCrackcn, 160 points per
game. lie wins the ball and bag. Hugh
Hughes hud high score, 210, winning a
fishing rod. Barry Davis had highest
number of spares, 123, for which he
receives a camera, and Jacob Pfclffer
had tho lowest average, winning a
ticket for one game.
Roll and Melstcr, of the Arllngtons,
have again repeated their challenge to
"Billy" Hopkins and Charles Moore.
The following communication on tho
matter was last night given The Tri
bune by Captain Roll:
To tho Tribune.
In answer ta remarks, or challenge,
made by Hopkins, will say, man and
money arc ready at any time, but we
Insist on a scries of two out of tlirco
games, or three out of nvc, as it Is too
warm to play a long scries In this weath
er. As to frequent challenges supposed
to have been Issued or made by Mclster
and Roll will say they wero made only
after tho said Hopkins and Moore got a
swelled head, as the slang phrase ha3 it,
and several assertions wero made to mo
as to their ability to win In a competition
with any two men. I finally accepted and
agreed to make a match, and on one oc
casion wanted Mr. Hopkins to put up a
deposit, and wo would roll tho following
Friday, but, no, ho wanted to wait till
Moore returned. Well, Moore camo back
and after several excuses over tho 'phono
that one had a dance and tho other was
fishing, caught a bull head and it bit
him, they left the date so by for two
men team as well as date for flvc-men
team, of which they are members. Wo
are not looking for money nor notoriety
and wo havo no swelled heads, but think
wo can trim Hopkins and Moore. They
are tho two wo want.
Very truly yours.
Phil W. Roll.

OtfR INTERNAL COMMERCE.
Special to tho Scranton Tribune
Washington, Aug. 1,
THB COMMERCIAL movement of the
great staple commodities produced
In tho Interior of tho country nra
necessarily subject to something of
a hill during tho mid-summer transition
from ono crop year to another. There
Is, nevertheless, In the data collected by
the trcnstiry bureau of statistics, on In
ternal commcrco up to tho end of June,
nit opportunity for half-year compari
sons of commercial movements, such as
those of llvo stock, grain, provisions and
produce. Tho llvo western live-stock
nun-huts of Chicago, Kansns City, Omaha,
St. Louis nnd St. Joseph, taken ns an
Index of tho trado generally, report total
receipts of meat-producing stock, Includ
ing cattle, hogs nnd sheep, between Jan.
1 and Juno 30, Inclusive, of H,7iiii,S."3 head.
This was 709,283 head less than fot tho
corresponding period of 1901, and 347,tXU
head less than for 1900.
Taking the Chicago market ns typical,
tho monthly nvcrugo weight of cnttlo 1ms
begun to recover from tho lowor level of
910 pounds per head In April. In Muy the
nvcrugo weight lwo to 937 pounds, and
In June to 9GI pounds per head. Tho
average weight of hogs is llkcwlso rccov
cling, but tho numctlcnl supply is still
nearly a million short of tho receipts for
the first half of 1001.
A rough guago of tho Increase In tho
consuming demand for meats Is found In
tho trunk lino shipments of provisions
from Chicago nnd Chicago points, These
shipments go primarily eastward from
tho centers of production In tho interior,
and secondarily southward. Vov tho
ilrst twenty-six weeks of this year T2,217
tons of provisions entered into this move
ment, compared with 072,815 tons last
year. Tho gain oT 13.8 per cent, over
last year amounted to an uvcrago of 3,0.'1
tons per week more than tho weekly
demand for 1901. The llvo markets re
porting stocks for cut meats had, In
round numbers, 2l."i,000,000 pounds of cut
meats In stock at tho end of Juno, 1902,
against 311,000,000 pounds for tho corres
ponding date In 1901. This is a decreaso
of 21.2 per cent. At Chicago tho stocks
were over 13,000,000 pounds below tho
level of a year ngo. At tho four other
packing centers reporting, there was a
reduction of 51,000,000 pounds, or 29.1 per
cent, from the basis of supply available
at tho end of June, 1901.
Domestic freight receipts at 155 ports,
reporting in June, were 7.442.9S2 tons,
compared with 7,f5.',311 tons In June, 1901.
Shipments from 221 ports In June, this
year, nmounted to 7.747.S71 tons, against
7.201,203 tons ill June, 1901. For tho first
six months of 1901 and 1902 the freight
receipts at lake ports aggregated 11,880,572
tons, nnd 18,133,978 tons respectively. Iron
ore shipments to tho end of June, this
year, totalled 8,127,271 tons, compared
with 4,457,276 tons.
COASTWISE COMMERCE OP THE AT
LANTIC AND GULF PORTS.
Shipping operations at New York for
the first six months, this year, give the
total number of vessels arriving as 5,915.
of which 3,770 vessels wero engaged in
tho coasting trade, and 2,143 in tho for
eign tiadc. At Philadelphia there were
2,141 arrivals, of which 1,823 were en
gaged in tho coasting trade, and 618 in
foreign tiadc. At Baltimore the total
arrivals for llvo months only were 1,015
vessels, of which 934 wero credited to
tho coasting trade, nnd 81 to foreign
trade. New "Orleans reports 649 vessels
arriving during this year to tho end of
June, of which 193 vessels wore engaged
In coastwise trade, and 436 in foreign
trado.
Tho three ports of New York, Phila
delphia and Baltimore together &ent out
815,230 tons of coal by water to coastwise
destinations during the month of May,
and for tho five months ending with May,
5,232,133 tons, as reported by the leading
coal carriers and shippers at the princi
pal points of trans-shipment. Coal re
ceipts at Boston during tho first six
months ending with June totalled 2.2S6,
004 tons, compared with 2,311,703 tons in
1901. Ordinarily these receipts are about
equally divided between anthraclto and
bituminous, but thus far this year there
has been a loss of 40 per cent, in anthra
cite tonnage, while bituminous receipts
increased 10 per cent, over those of the
first six months of 1901.

try of tho cotton states has, therefore,
reached a point where it takes approxi
mately 13 per cent, of the American cot
ton yield. Tho yearly consumption of tho
entire United States up to 1877-78 had
never reached tho dimensions of tho
southern consumption during the past ten
months. lion shipments in southern ter
ritory in the past six months reported a
gain of 19 per cent, over those of tho

or a gain of 23 per cent., and 1,108,744,276

1900.

couti action of anthracite shipments, and
an expansion of bituminous and coke
shipments. 'Pennsylvania railroad ship
ments east of Pittsburg and Erio amount
ed to 30,461 tons of anthraclto this Juno,

THE MARKETS
Wall Street IttTtew.
Now York, Aug. 1, Tho distinguishing
fcaturo of today's stock market was tho
marked subsidence of nctlvlty which has
been In progress nil this weok, but which
reached a condition almost of torpor to
day. Tho movement of prices wns also
extremely sluggish, with tho exception of
a few prominent stocks. Tho largo bpco
ulatlvo Interests who havo most largely
mado the recent activity of tho market
wero quiescent. It Is probablo that tho
reception given to tho formal announce
ment of tho Rock Island plan of conver
sion of Its capital and reorganization of
tho method of control had something to
do with tho pause In tho speculation. Tho
recent brilliant udvnnco In Hock Island
has been nn important lnilucnco on tho
whole market. Rock Island Itself fell to
a level of 3?i below Inst night during tho
morning. Another disturbing Infiucnco
wns tho renewed break In Colorado Fuel,
which went below 90. After Rock islnnd
nnd Colorado Fuel quieted down and mado
somo recovery there was an Improvement
In tho general market and u few stocks
beenmo strong and helped tho general
market. St. Paul Now York Central, tho
locnl tractions, Western Union nnd Amer
ican Smelting wero among these. But
tho effect on tho general market was
very slight at any time. Tho market
closed dull and heavy. Total sales for
the day, 362,000 shatcs, Thcro wns a real
izing movement In Central of Georgia In
come bonds with a subsequent recovery.
Tho market was generally dull nnd ir
regular. Total sales, par value, $1,690,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on
tho last call.
