North Carolina Cotton.

We have learned some facts in reference to the
amount of cotton carried over the Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad in the first two months OF the fiscal
years commencing Oct 1s 1853 and 1852 respectively
which not only exhibits decided increase in the
Der of bales carried but gratifying change in the d.
rection which the trade is taking. Thus:

Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1859-12-08

Increase in 1885, 1884
This shows a very handsome gain for Wilmington as
against Weldon Thus, in 1858, the number of bales
carried to Weldon in two months, showed OF
i SO over the number carried to Wilmington while in
the corresponding two months of 1859, the excess in
favor of Weldon and Virginia market, is only BIG.
One year more, and still more gratifying change
will be shown and if not ALL certainly the larger share
of the cotton carried over the road, will come to Will
mington, as it should-the advantage in prices paid
being now in favor of this place. However, it takes
some time to break up old habits, and preudces in favor
of Virginia markets. and especially Petersburg.
ssg@ In order that the resolutions introduced by Mr.
Clark, of Missouri may be the better understood,
may state that new edition of Helpers infamous book
has been circulated at the North and that in this ed

but against Shareholders personally. To show the AMI
