NOTE TO THE

have just returned from a trip to
Norfolk, Va, and 1 find that it pays
the farmer when shipping beef cattle
to only ship those in frst-c class order
smoothe, well fattened, stall fed cattle
and weighing 700 to 900 pounds. This
is the most desirable weight. There is
nothing that pays better than the extra
condition in which you can place your
cattle on the market. The market price
is low now, only d to 8 cts. lean ship
to Norfolk or Richmond, Va, but very
little demand now and markets over
stocked. 1 wish also to say that our
brethren lose by sending very small
sized chickens to market. They
are hard to dispose of at a very
low price, while good, we'll grown
chickens r ready sale on a dull mar
ket at fair prices. Be ready for the
egg market which will open about the
1st of September next. Our Boston
house is anxious to handle eggs in car
load lots weekly. None but first class
eggs should be handled.

THE ALLIANCE PRODUCE Elk
CHANGE.

DEAR BRETHREN The alliance Pro
duce Exchange" is open for the hand
ling of farm products. We do not
purchase your products but will sell
for you to the best advantage possible.
Write us what you have to sell and
will let you know about what we can
get for it. Eggs are higher here than
in New York and we have been getting
better prices. Think we will be able
to handle more and more as plans
for putting only fresh eggs on market
become known. Poultry is in great
demand and we think for the next
three months if not all the summer it
will bring remunerative prices. Can
furnish shipping coops and simply
charge rent or sell them to you if de-
sired. We can handle bacon, lard,
fish, wheat, flour, corn, meal, potatoes,
&c. Prices are lower on all products
than they have been for years. We
have sent notice to all of our shippers
not to send any more eggs North for
the present as it does not pay. There
were more than 90, 900, 900 eggs sent
into New York last week. We will
try to handle all poultry and eggs
shipped here to your advantage. Do
not send eggs by express unless rates
are very low.

Eggs are now worth 10 to 121 cts. per
dozen in Raleigh, and the prices are
looking upward. They have sold as
low as s cents per doz here. The prices
North do not Justify in shipping, and
if the above prices will Justify our
brethren to ship here we can handle a
large number of crates if the market
should,remain as firm as it is now. The
closing exercises of the schools here
will cause many to come here and an
increased demand is expected for bal
ance of the season. w. Fl. WORTH.
