MARKET REPORT.
Our sales have been the largest the
past week that they have been for any
previous week during the continued
dry weather. On yesterday we bad
large sales and the farmers were ex-ceedingly
well pleased with their
prices.
The offerings remain about the same
and are composed mainly of good man-ufacturing
tobaccos, which are eagerly
sought for by all of our buyers. Prices
of all grades are the highest we have
seen for many years, and we think
that common tobaccos are selling
higher than we have ever seen them
before.

Fayetteville, is now uear Ellerbe

—The Greensboro public library, on
the third floor or the city hall, is ex-pected
to be thrown open in the near

move to the new Hufiines building, on
the corner of South Elm and EaatSyc-araore
streets. W. F. Jackson has
made application for license to engage
In the saloon business at John Barker's

the first sale or the $300,000 bond issue. I
Inasmuch as the street car company j

have agreed to pay half the cost or the j
work, it would appear that this Is about j
the best proposition the city can hope |
to receive.
TOBACCO HIOH IN GREENSBORO.
Tobaoco is higher on this market
than it has been ror many years past,
and we doubt ir common tobacco was
ever as high at any time as it is right
now. The Banner warehouse had a
large sale on Tuesday and made an
average for the floor of $11.10 per hun-dred,
which is the highest average we
have seen made by any warehouse on
any market in many years, yet'the to-bacco
crop in this section is a poor one
and not expected to bring fancy prices.
We now have as good a corps or buy-ers
as can be round on any market in
Virginia or the Carolinas, and they all
want large quantities or tobacco and
are willing to pay the highest market
prices for it whenever you bring It
here.
Miss Lizzie Sockwell had a nice lot
of well handled tobacco on the market
today and it averaged $16.00 per hun-dred
net.
Mr. J. A. Hines, an old Conrederate
soldier, was here with a load or tobacco
last Monday, and was delighted with
bis -ales.
Mr. H. R. Camion, of this oounty,
bad a lot or medium tobacco here yes-terday
and averaged $16.20 per hun-dred
net for bis load.
Mr. J. F. Fulton, formerly of Walnut
Cove, joined our association last week
and is now one of our recognized buy-ers,
and will be a great benefit to this
market.
The following good farmers were
hero from Alamance: D. Loy, D. E.
Whitesell, Walker & Story ana 8. E.
Jeffreys, all of whom were well pleased.
Mr. Jeffreys cornea every week, and
you can judge for yourself as to whether
he la pleased or not.
The following well-known gentle-men
were here from Rockingham dur-ing
the past week, and were highly
pleased with sales: J. D Baynes, Neal
& Allen, J. F. King, T. W. Price, J. E
Holton, Walter Simpson, P. D. Simp-son
and C. W. Bradshaw.
Mr. P. R. Casey, who has been at
Nichols, S. C, buying tobacco for the
pa-i few months, came in last night
and went actively to work on our sales
today. This gives us the addition of
another good buyer, which will be
good news to the farmers.

Sheriff R. T. Kernodle had several

last week, but the sheriff is so timid
he cannot get as good prices for bis
own tobacco as he can for other people.
He does not Insist hard on the buyer

The Virginia Methodist conference,
at Newport News last week, refused to

that no minister using tobacco be ad-mitted
to conference, and that a min-ister
admitted, afterwards taking np
the use of tobacco, be treated as having
violated his ordination vows.

at Winston-Salem, has been pur-chased
