MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have been very light indeed, ]
due partly to the fact that the farmers
are very busy harvesting, and to the
further fact that tobacco is very nearly
out of the hands of the farmers and
there is but little more to come on the
market until it is raised.
Prices on all grades remain about
the same and farmers are well pleased
with their sales, and we expect nice
sales on this market as soon as harvest
is over.
Everybody seems to have finished
planting and replanting this season
and tobacco is growing off very nicely.
The new retail cigar store trust is
buying up stores in New York city
and elsewhere.
Mr. W. L. Ferrell and little son,
Marvin, of Winston, passed through
the city today on their way to Dur-ham
to visit relatives and friends.
Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Bray spent Sun-day
in Statesville with Mr. A. B. Bray,
who is a former resident of this city
and now a prominent tobacco buyer of
that market.
The decision in the Porto R'co tariff
case leads Mr. Dooley to make this sage
observation : "No matter whether th'
constitution follows th' Hag or not, th'
Supreme court follows th' election re-turns."
Mr. Dodson, buyer for Dodson Broth-ers

—Just before Superior court ad-journed
Friday evening Mr. J. S.Hun-ter,
who succeeded Mr. J. S. Cox as re-ceiver
of the Bank of Guilford on the
first of January, filed a report showing
what had been done since he took
charge of the business. He reported
that he had compromised the suit
against the estate of D. F. Caldwell,
who was president of the bank, for $12,-
•00, receiving $10,429.69 in cash and
$2,500 in stock in the defunct bank.
Suits against some of the officers of the
bank have also been compromised.
The receiver secured an order of court

The Southern Tobacco Journal says
when the complete returns are in it is
likely that it will be shown that the
manufactured tobacco production of
the country in May was the heaviest
ever known in any one month.
The leaf storage capacity the Ameri-can
Tobacco Company is providing at
Durham would seem to indicate an In-tention
to concentrate its smoking to-bacco
and cigarette manufacturing
business at that point. The output of
these goods at that city in the last few
years has increased enormously.
Notwithstanding the short crop we
had last year, Greensboro has sold
about as many pounds as she did last
season, which, of course, caused her to
draw tobacco from a great deal higher
territory. However, all we have to do
this season to almost double our sales
is to hold the territory which we now
have and increase it just a little, which
we can very easily do, considering the
high favor in which Greensboro now
stands among the farmers.

If they were to do this of course they
would never be heard of in this section
of the country again, in which event
the amount at their bonds would be
forfeited to the county. Most people
