Messrs. Ellis and Cannon ask $5,000 for their steam mill. Mr. Mattingley offered them $4,000. They think they do not want to sell and that their aim is to scare them out. Mr. Leon stopped at the Cape and announced that the Spanish grants were confirmed. Timon would perhaps do well to ask to buy the Old Cape.
