MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have not been very large,
yet there has been enough of the weed
to keep everything moving along well.
The quantity of the offerings is rath-er
poor, still there is a good sprinkling
of desirable tobacco being offered on
the market.
Prices are the best we have seen in
years, notwithstanding the fact that
the quality of tobacco is very much
poorer than it was last season. Prices
are from $1.50 to $4.00 per 100 better
than they were last year.
George Friddle, of Rockingham, sold
good primings here Saturday.
J. R. Davenport, of northern Guil-ford,
was on the market fjaturday.
J.S.Cobb, of Winston, and Mr. Watt,
of Reidsville, were in the city Friday.
I. W. Flynn.of Stokesdale, sold prim-ings
here Monday at a satisfactory
price.
Northern Guilford was represented
here yesterday by Lloyd & Co., J. F.
Warren, L A. Miles aud J. V. Miles.
Mr. W. R. Fitzgerald,one of the pro-prietors
of the Central warehous I
Danville, was iu the city Monday •
morning.
Try Greensboro with your first load
of tobacco thi< year sad you will be
convinced of the superiority of our'
market.
Cook & Wharton, W. A. Montgomery,
S. D. Dick aud Jeffries it Dennis;
were among the Guilford farmers here
Monday with leaf.
G. A. Simpson and James Hazel!, of
Alamance, and T, F. Gentry, of Rock-ington,
sold a fair grade of leaf here
yesterday at satisfactory prices.
Ottawa, Kans , has experimented in
the culture of tobacco this year. About
1,000 pounds have been grown, which
is claimed to be of excellent quality.
Readers of this column mubC not for-get
that there are a numberof valuable
special premiums offered for tobacco
by the Central Carolina Fair Associa-tion.
Messrs. W. F. Keeling, of the Ex-change
warehouse, R. M. Abbott, E. G. I
Mosely and Mr. Richmond, all of Dan-ville,
were visitors to this market last
week on their way South.
Mr. J. F. Jordan, who has been an
active buyer on this market this sum-mer,
tells the PATRIOT that he expects
to continue to buy tobacco right along :
during the year. Things hum when
lie is on the floors.
As indicating the increased employ-ment
of white labor in Southern to-;
bacce factories, one concern in Wins-ton
works two hundred and twenty-live
white girls on its leaf picking
iloor. These girls earu from three to
five dollars a ween.
Cigarette beetles are one of the lat-est
discoveries of the Bureau of Ento-mology
of the Agricultural depart-ment.
The beetle feeds on all kinds of
cured tobacco, but have a decided pref-erance
for ready made cigarettes. The
bug lays its e*gs in packages of cigar-ettes,
and when the eggs batch the
beetle ruins the cigarettes by boring
holes in the paper wrappers in order
to escape. The stock of thousands of
dealers have been ruined by the pest.
It is a little thing, scarcely visible to
the eye.

To Whom I-. May Concern
It's about time for jou to begin to
think about laying in your outrit of
shoes and other things to wear during
the cold scar-on. one way to do your
buying is to stop in at the tir=t store
you come to and trust to luck for the AT CLOSE OP BCSISE33 aPBIL**, MM
result. Another is to consider care-fully
where you are likely to do best
and be treated most fairly. We claim
to be able to give you the lowest prices
for two simple reasons. First, we pay
cash for every dollar's worth of goods
we buy, which enables us to buy lower
than others: second, we carry on the
business with much less expense than
most bouses do. We sell reliable goods,
and if by any chance you buy an arti-cle
that proves unsatisfactory.you will
rind us willing and glad to make it
right with you. We give you your
mouev back without anv argument for
anything you buy if you want; it, «- g^^fca^s*::::::: v:.':.
cept goods sold by the yard and cut off
for you. Our fall and winter stock is
about complete and we will take pleas-ure
iu showing you through it.
