FlNANCE AND COMMERCE.

Tie fact, now generally conceded,
that England Is the only country de-
inanding wheat, and that her demands
are limited to e0,0OO,0OO bushels. ad-
ded to the fact that most of the sur
rounding nations have a surplus, and
will compete with the United States
in supplying her needs, does not indi-
cate that prices for the Pacific coast
staple will rule exasperatingly high in
that market.
1t is asserted that the carrying trade
is very dull throughout the world, and
that shipowners are anxious to obtain
charters even at low rates, rather than
let their vessels remain idle. Proba-
bly, there will be little difficulty expe-
rienced in securing sufficient tonnage
to transport our surplus wheat to mar
ket at fair rates, but that prices after
market is reached will approximate
those of last season does not appear so
plain.
Liverpool quotations are: Average,
los 4d910s Sd; Club, los sd@11s i'd.
There is now sufficient shipping at
Portland to carry 500, 900 bushels of
wheat, and vessels are constantly ar
irving.
San Francisco dates of the 18th give
81 50@1 55 q 100 hs as the extremes
for wheat.
Beyond the 10000 bushels sold out
of the Farmers Warehouse at 81 cents
per bushel, we hear of no wheat sales
in this city.
Produce market quiet. Butter 25c;
eggs 25c.

FIRE AT LEBANON.-Between one
and two O'Clock on Sunday morning,
September 18th. fire was discovered
in Mr.. Luther Elkins dry goods store
in Lebanon. The fire had made such
Roadway before it was discovered. and
burned with sucll fierce rapidity. that
but little was saved from the building.
The dwelling adjoining. occupied by
Mr.. p. Farrell, who had charge of the
store, soon caught fire, and although
through the efforts of citizens most OF
the furniture, ETC., was saved, the
building was burned to the ground.
The Post Office, S. H. Claughton,
Postmaster, was kept in the store
building. and was entirely destroyed; !;
papers, letters, books, stamps, ETC..
all were burned up, causing a loos to
the Postal Department of some $3.50
or 5000, while Mr.. Claughton loses as
much more. The store-room contained
goods to the amount of $4,000 or
1000. probably not over 800 worth
of which was saved. There was an
insurance on the store building of
$500; on the goods. $4,000, and on
the dwelling. S1.2OO as we are in
formed-a total of S. 900. The prob
able loss. over and above the insurance,
will not be over So. 600.

now opening one of the largest and
best selected stocks of goods ever bro't

their very lowest cash value. which
enables him to sell them at lower rates
and smaller profits than ever before.

any kind. will find it TO their advant-
age to call on him and get his prices

SUPERIOR CoURT.-Fall Term of Edge
combe Superior Court commenced its ses

AS usual with our Court the entire term

negro near Whitaker's depot and was duly
reported in tie Enquirer -Southemer at the

WHY THE CHANGE p 1t used to be the
custom in our court room, and has been
ever since the war, for the whites to as
cend the steps on the right of the door and
the colored people on the left. Now the
colored people have both stairways under
their control and when they come to the
court room they occupy all the seats to the
complete exclusion of the whites. Are the
white people of the country. whose money
built the Court House and sustains every
officer of the county, to have no considera
ton shown them? They should certainly
be allowed some little remote corner to 81
down.

ANNA BERGER.-The Berger Family
gave one of their entertainments in our
town last Friday night. 1t is troupe of
real merit, refined and chaste, but accord
ing to our way of thinking, Miss Anna
Berger is the decided Star of the company.
Her skill with the cornet is highly artistic
and excels anything we have ever seen in
that line, and her piquant style in acting
was such as to be universally pleasing. Al
we write one of our printers is humming
one of her songs, "Little Fraud" which
will not soon be forgotten where Miss Anna
has sung it.

EDGEUoMBE COUNTY, Dec. ?, 1874


Editor Enquirer -Southerner:
l see il your last Issue a notice from p.
s. Hicks, Standard Keeper for Edgccombe
county, for every person who keeps balan-
ances and steelyards and measures, to bring
them to Tarboro and have them tested
The said Standard Keeper receiving (25c)
twenty cents for every measure and bal
ance tested. There certainly is great in
justice to the farmers by such law. If
sell my cotton in Tarboro, it is not taken
at my weights, and if measure my meal,
potatoes, peas, corn, or anything may have
to sell, it is not taken at my measure
Then why compel me Ga farmer) who only
keeps balances and measures for conven-
ience and not profit, to pay Standard
Keeper 25 cts. for my measures or halan-
ces may have. The farmers don't keep
balances and measures as business for
buying and selling, but only for conven-
fence, and when any little business trans
pires that requires the use of them between
them and their neighbors and botn are sat-
isfed. l so into store IN Tarboro and
pay % cts. for pair spring balances, and
go to P. S. Hicks and pay him 25 cts. 600
per cent? just to see if they are correct
and this is done every two years. Atten-
ton legislators. FARMER.

OFFICIAL DUTY.-Last Friday an indi-
vidual, devout worshiper of Bacchus and
at the time having his soul full of devotion
to the genial god (or his head filed with
old rye) was SO intent upon his meditations
that he lost not only the power of self-con-
troll but that of managing his steed, and ran
his charlotte (or cart) against one of the
city lamp posts to the great injury of the
appended luminary. There was a pause
in the gentleman's thoughts and he was
preparing for further progress when Officer
Hyatt came upon the stage and escorted
him into the honored presence of our Mayor
where the bacchinalian devotee deposited 6

enterprises and saving money to the pur-
chasers, not only in freights to and from
the northern markets, but in the profits OF
numerous intermediate purchasers. See

flying the wrongs that would fall under the
cognizance of the jury he mentioned homi-
eide, assaults, batteries, &C., as private
wrongs. They are offences against the
person but, as is laid in the bills, are more
properly against the peace and dignity of
the State.
