Price of Peanuts Doubled Reaching Consumers in City Markets
Peanuts now cost twice as much as before with Chicago quotations showing a 100 percent rise for cleaned mate and 75 percent for those in farmers hands. The 199 crop value is estimated between 3 and 4.9 million dollars, reflecting strong demand and a shrinking visible supply. The crop is mainly grown in Virginia where a peanut trust is proposed to include cleaners and control the primary market with a 5 million dollar capitalization.

Dynamite Guns in Fall Campaign Against the Philippines
A Washington special to the New York Herald reports American forces will use dynamite pneumatic guns in the fall against the Philippines. The ordnance department plans to supply General Otis with six Sims-Tudley weapons, after satisfactory tests at Sandy Hook. The Cuban insurgents previously used a similar gun with reported town surrenders. Gatling guns may also be sent to officers, with six pounder rapid-fires on transports to deter insurgent attacks.
