MARKET REPORT.
The hot dry weather of the past week
has kept the farmers from marketing
much of the remaining crop; sales have
therefore been light. The demands
have been strong and prices have kept
| up all the time. Farmers, as a rule
have been extremely well pleased.

MM leaf here Friday.
H. L. Newman, of Rockingham, was
•n the market last week.
Mr. W. L. Cooper, a Timmonsville,
s. c, tobacconist, was on this market
last week.
J. R. Andersen, of southern Ala-mance,
patronized the Greensboro
market Monday.
Bray Bros, are making largr ship-ments
of tobacco this week to make
room for the new crop.
W. H. Robersoo, a Guilford farmer
had a load of good tobacco on the mark-et
last week, and secured good prices.
Among the farmers on the market
this week we noticed L. M. Johnson
and J. B. Foster, of northern Alamance.
Today several of the South Carolina
tobacco markets will open for the new
season, and begin having regular
breaks of the new crop.
United States crop bulletin: The'
general condition of the tobacco crop
is favorable, but rains would be bene-ficial
in Maryland and portions of Vir- |
ginia. An improvement is reported;
from Kentucky, where the crop has
suffered from excessive rains of pre-vious
weeks. Cutting and curing are
in progress in the Carolinas.
j The North Carolina crop bulletin for
the work ending Monday, July 16,
| says: "The condition of crops is still i
fairly good, but all are suffering con- '
siderably from drought, except perhaps
in the mountainous districts. This is'
especially true of corn, tobacco, minor
crops and gardens, while cotton ap-'
pears to have stood the drought so far
remarkably well, as few reports of
damage to that crop are recieved. I
While not growing very rapidly, cotton
has still a healthy appearance, and is
blooming and setting fruit fairly well.
It is reported to be failing rapidly in
Johnston and a few other counties,
needs rain badly everywhere-

Col. Boyd Appointed Judge.
The many friends of Col. James E.
Bovd were delighted when it was an-nounced
Thursday that he had been
appointed I'nited States district judge
for the Western District of North Car-olina.
Col. Boyd resigned his commission
as Assistant Attorney General of the
United Sttes, took the oath of office as
district judge Saturday, and came to
Greensboro Sunday night. He was
given a hearty welcome, and congrat-ulations
were showered upon him by
his friends here. After transacting
some business connected with the of-fice
he returned to Washington today.
Judge Boyd is widely popular.aman
of high attainments and a lawyer of
power and ability. He has made for
himself a national reputation by the
credit with which he has tilled the
position of Assistant Attorney General
of the United States. It is the opinion
of all that President McKinley has ap-pointed
the best man for the position
in bis party in North Carolina, and
one who will give the best satisfaction
to all parties.
Judge and Mrs. Boyd will probably
soon return to their home in this city.

T011ACCONI8T8 INTERESTED.
Many tobacconists are watching the
war in China with the deepest inter-est.
If China is thrown open to the
world, it will mean a mammoth mar-ket
for all the tobacco exporting places
of the world. Every grade and class
of tobacco men will be benefited to a
great measure.
Years ago, though not so very many,
Japan was closed to the trading people
of the world. To-day thousands and
thousands of dollars'worth of Ameri-can
tobacco is sold in Japan. A great
industry hassprung up. The Japanese

—At a meeting of the Board of Al-dermen
Friday night the residents of
Cedar street asked that a drain pipe
be laid on that street. The work was

The street committee reported that an

If they had a chance, 100,000.000 of this
number would chew tobacco, say to-bacco
men, and it would be lots better
for them than opium, which they do
use. Scarcely more than 10,000,000 peo-ple
in America use tobacco in any way.
At this estimate Cbioa would be a mar-ket
for tobacco ten times as large as
the whole of America.
Little wonder, then, that tobacco
dealers and manufacturers are much
concerned about the destiny of the
Celestial kingdom. They want every
port and every market in China open
to all the products of the world.
