demand for iron and steel, the
further advances in prices of the
same and additional increase of

ing the most significant.
Notwithstanding the season of
midsummer quiet in some lines

OF 25 per cent over the total in
the like week of 1894.
But the record Of prices is of
greater firmness than even that
shown by clearings, the only de-
crease Of Importance noted be-
ing wheat, flour, corn, cotton and
lard. Merchants at almost all
larger cities are preparing to
send out travellers, and until
they begin to exhibit results no
exact estimate of the Fall trade
can be prepnred. At this time
the outlook is regarded as highly
favorable. At Boston, Phila-
delphia..and Baltimore, and among
Eastern cities, noteworthy gains
IN sales of staples are announced.
Reports from Southern cities
show further improvement, and
gains this week being more
marked than in the like period
for months before. Country
merchants in South Carolina are
much encouraged with the crop
outlook, as demand is fair and
prices tend upward. Like re-
ports come from Augusta, and in
Texas cotton buyers have begun
to make their presence felt. De
layed payment of sugar bounties
checks trade in the Louisiana
sugar districts. The volume of
trade is smaller at Jacksonville.

A Few Suggestions.
July 9, 1895.

THE sale Of THE ARGUS should
not affect its continued publica-
ton and standing in the commun,
ity or impair its value. It's daily
publication for the past ten years
and more marks the greatest
strides in the city's history as a
growing commercial and manu-
featuring centre, and the people
of Goldsboro-the business men
and other enterprising citizens
owe to it themselves to see to it
that the value of the paper is not
underestimated at the sale, for
that of itself would be a great
drawback to the city as to it's
standing in the great commercial
centres where newspapers are
esteemed the most influential and
unfailing factors in the upbuild-
ing of trade and the maintenance
of prestige. Ten years is but a
brief span in the history Of a
community or city, as time is
reckoned, but Goldsboro has
reason to be proud Of her record
Of achievements in the past ten
years. In that time the city has
more than quadrupled her man
ufacturing enterprises and thrib-
led her volume of commerce. ac-
quired electric lights and water
works and added other public
improvements of permanent ma
ture and inestimable value-and
along every avenue of progress
The ARGUS has taken the lead
and invited the footsteps of en-
terprise, while the profits to
capital and the benefits to labor
resulting therefrom have proved
the wisdom of it's course and the
virtue of public spirit wisely di-
rected. These things should not
be forgotten by the citizens of
GoldsbOrO in this crisis that
has come to their daily pa
per, but should be gravely con
sidered and magnanimously
met. Surely there are enough
sagaciOus business men of ample
means in Goldsboro to compre-
hend the situation in all it's bear
ings and realize just what set
back it would be to the town for
it's daily paper, after record of
ten years of every duty to the
community unfailingly done, to
go to pieces under a forced
sale, when the organization of
stock company of a few thou
sand dollars capital could estab-
lish the paper on firmer basis
than ever before, save it's pres
ent owners from loss and make
it a sure dividend paying. enter
prise. It behooves our business
men to get together and consider
these suggestions.

By our Special Reporter,


CRAWFISH LANDING, July Is
Editor Argus:-We left Kinston
on yesterday at 9 o'clock. Quite
a number of the fair sex were
down to the wharf to see the
Eva Mae off.
AS we mentioned in our last
letter, no fishing had been done,
on account Of the river being So
muddy. Commander Gulick bor-
rowed one Of our life boats, the
Maggie, and the crew have gone
fishing up Sleepy Creek, some
thirteen miles from Kinston.
The first news from home, The
ARGUS, was joycusly received,
and three cheers were given for
same. The next issue, however,
will bring our craft, the Hannah,
nothing but scowls from them.
We quietly embarked in our re-
naming life boat, the Mamie,
and found the crew ashore at
dinner. They asked US to land
and jine 'em, but we couldn't
stand it, The following was
what they had, and it was fast
becoming invisible:

Sheriffs Instructed to Collect Taxes

Raleigh, N, c., July 10. Many
Sheriffs have inquired of State
Treasurer Worth what they are
to do in regard to collecting
taxes, since the Revenue act of
this year was not ratified. Treas
urer Worth directed them to col
lect just the same as if the act
was regularly ratified and it's
validity unquestioned. He tel
egraphed to-day to the Attorney
General, stating what he had
done and asking if it was cor.
rect. The Attorney General re-
plies that the Treasurer is cor
rect in his action and his advice.

turns. He didn't know whether
the barrels Of potatoes dumped
belonged to Mr.. Hand or not,
but there were some barrels that
had to be dumped, so his account
was charged with two OF them.
A BRILLIANT VICTORY.
"Our man didn't know whose
they were," said the merchant,
but he inferred that they were
yours"
"He might have ferred a in
couple to somebody else," re-
marked the Captain.
Seems to me, SIR" said the
Senator, "that dumped account
is mighty convenient.
Then there was a search for
the potatoes which belonged to
James W. Moran. The bill was
as follows:

There was a record that four
barrels of Mr.. Moran's potatoes
had been sold for 81. 25. The
freight bills showed that eight
barrels had been received. The
merchant, in discussing where
the four unaccounted for barrels
had gone, said that they might
have been sent to the store to be
retailed.
LAS wholesalers, he said, "weI
charge goods to ourselves as re-
tailers. We retail ten or fifteen
barrels day. We charge them
to ourselves at about the best
price which has been offered for
potatoes of that lot"
81 hope you don't overcharge
yourselves, remarked the SEM
ator.
The Senator then asked that

entry. He charged four barrels

Il QUESTION OF VEGETABLES
The Gallant Southerners Gained "a Brill
liant Victory For the Misused
Dixie Farmers.
New York Herald of July ~


ers Senator Darby, of Florida
and his friend Captain Willard
who are guests at the Hotel Marl
borough moved upon the com
mission merchants yesterday anc

drew his fire sir, and then cap
tured him with horse and can
non."
The Southern farmers have
been getting net price Of forty
and fifty cents barrel for their
potatoes from the New York
commission merchants, and
reached the conclusion that they
would either have to stop raiss
ing vegetables or get better
prices.
They receive glowing circulars
from the dealers, quoting pota-
toes at So and S4 for No. 1 and
S1.75 and 50 So for No. 2, Then.
when they send on the vegeta-
bles, they get about 81 a barrel,
less freight and commission.
Senator Darby, when visiting
some Of his friends at Cronby,
N. c., recently, was asked by
them to inquire why they could
not sell their products for en-
ough to pay for the raising. His
friend D. Hand, had received a
net sum of S7.29 for twenty five
barrels and JAS. W. Moran, 81. 80
net for eight barrels. They were
big barrels, too.
OPENING OF THE ENGAGEMENT.
The Senator and the Colonel
went to the commission mer-
chants yesterday to inquire why
Mr. Hand and Mr.. Morgan had
not received more money. They
were received by the junior
member of the firm, a most
suave and amiable young man.
The Senator got from the
merchant an admission that
North Carolina, potatoes gener-
orally keep very we'll and that
the consignment had only been
IN transit three or four. DAYS.
The Senator said that the pota-
toes could not have been bad, as
as some of the same lot as those
which had been sent to New
York were still in splendid con
dltion down at Cranky.
Now, then, sir,' said the
Senator ''let US come to an un-
derstanding about this business.
We can't come to New York in
wagons with these potatoes.
Somebody must sell them for US.
You can't raise them on your
floor, Let's see if we can't come
TO an understanding. You are
our agent, aren't you? Now as
such we have right to ask from
you an accounting. Let US see
your books, your original en-
tries.
There was a stirring up of
day books and fumbling Of pas
pers, and the Senator began to
investigate He took first

day. He had just returned from Alaska
on the steamer Excelsior, and still wore
a bunch of Alaska whiskers on his chin.
Mr.. Atkinson had put in five months in
Alaska, and. notwithstanding the hard
ships he had evidently suffered. he looked
rugged and strong. and his cheeks were as
rosy with color as girls. He thinks
Alaska is all right for those who like 1t.
but that there are not many people who
like it: that is. of the people who go up
the Yukon and its tributary creeks In the
hope of shaking in the pan some of the
magic gold of the north of which they
have dreamed.
How are the other Seattle boys getting
along in the country of glaciers?'
We'll. they are all sore. every one of
them. but some of them will stay there

else but use pick and shovel. and whose
ambition doesn't reach further than get

from 81. Michaers TO Forty-AIiIe post. We
carried our supplies on sleds. and slept
wherever and whenever overtaken by
night. We crossed the lakes on the ice
and waded through the SHOWS of the
passes. We never had any trouble about
sleeping. however; We would cut some
houghs, lay them on the snow. spread cur
blankets on them. and sleep would weigh
our eyeiids down and steep our senses in
sweet forgetfulness' as soon as our tired
bodies touched the blankets
There will be hundreds Of disappointed
people coming down from the Yukon from
now on. II any one is making any money
