THE GOLDEN WEED.

The busiest places in Raleigh yester-
day were the tobacco warehouses. On
the floors of both the Meadows and
Farmers warehouses the golden weed
was piled up in great rich yellow
heaps, that looked reserve, on which
the spirited buyers were making mo
mentary raids. Around them stood
cheerful and happy tobacco growers
from Wake, Franklin, Johnson and
other counties, who cheered while
Messrs. Fleming, Pogue, Johnson, Will
hanson, Moore. McGehee, Love and
the other buyers made the sales spir-
tied and active.
Ralegh's tobacco industry is planted
upon firm and solid basis and from
now on the capital city is going TO
keep abreast of the States Invest to-
bacco centres.

Mr.. Blackley, who has just returned
from a trip to Franklin county, brings
news of the murder of James Harris,
"A weil-known resident of Franklin
county, who lives about six miles from
Franklinton.
Last spring Harris and Mr.. O'Briant
got into "a quarrel that grew in bitter
ness until Harris went cunning for
O'Briant and shot him.
The case was tried III Franklin coun-
~ Superior Court, and Harris served
out sentence of three months in the
county Jail.
Thursday night Harris was sitting
peacefully ut his fireside, never dream
ing of an attack. Some one crept up
10 the window and fired a shotgun at
him. He received the charge in the
face, but many of the shot are thought
TO have taken effect in the skull. 1t is
thought that Harris will die.

REICK MURDER MYSTERY.
Four Men Suspected OF the Crime Are
Held to Bail.

WilkesBarre, Pa, March 29.-The
mystery which has surrounded the
murder of Barney Reick is now fully
cleared. James Fisher. the last of the
suspects. has been held for trial as u
result of the testimony given at the
hearing this morning. A stepdaughter
of the murdered man testified that she
recognized Fisher an hour before the
murder Policeman william Bauer also
testified that he found Reick dying in
the railroad after the assault. and
brought him home in an ambulance.
on the way home he asked Reick If he
recognized any of his assailants, and
Reick replied: Yes, Jim Fisher in
duced me to leave home and go to the
railroad yard. where he and three 9th
ers assaulted me"
The four men suspected Hendricks.
Robinson, Kearney and Fisher. are now
held without bail and it looks as II
two, at least will swing for the crime.
1t also seems likely that the arrests of
these four men will break up an or
ganized gang of thugs and thieves in
and about this city.

SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

Senator Morriirs Wishes VIII Probably
be Consulted as to the Future Chair
man.
Washington, March 29.-It IL quite
likely that the finance committee of the
senate will be reorganiZed and II new
chairman selected when that body
again meets. but this reorganization, it
is contended by the friends of Senator
Morrill,. the ranking Republican and
former chairman, will not be made in
opposition 10 the wishes Of the Nestor
Of the senate, who has for so many
years served on that committee.
1t is said by senator's who are in a
position to know the facts that Mr..
Morrill,, appreciating the onerous du-
ties that will devolve upon the chair
man Of the finance committee during
the next congress and his own advanc-
ing years-he is now Sis not only
willing to retire from the place he has
filled with so much credit. but he has
intimated a desire to do So. Senator
Sherman, once before the chairman of
this committee. will probably be the
successor of Mr.. Morrill,.
The silver men will not be ignored
and in this there appears to be a de-
sire to conciliate this portion of the
party as much as possible.
1t appears now to be settled that the
silver men will designate Don Cameron,
of Pennsylvania, as the extra Republi-
can to take the place of the Democrat
who will retire. Senator Platt. of Con-
necticut, will also be named as one
Of the two additional members owing to
the increase in the membership. Sem
ator Platt is acceptable to the silver
men despite the fact that he is entirely
opposed to their way of viewing things
financial.

1T STILL LOOKS ROSY,
Dun Il Company's Review Of Trade 1.
Satisfactory to Those Who Seek In.
dications Of Good Times.

New York, March 29.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Signs of improvement are all the
more satisfactory because neither ac-
companied nor apparently produced by
speculative craze. Dealings in stocks,
cotton and wheat are not diverting all
the interest and capital from produc-
tive industry and legitimate trade,
though these products are all a shade
stronger. But railroad earnings. bank
clearings and industrial Indications are
more encouraging this week. 1t is re-
markable feature that the lifting this
year begins at the bottom, so to speak:
raw materials are raised before there
is any larger demand for their finished
products, a thing not often done with
success. Hides rose, then leather. and
then shoes; cotton rose, and afterwards
some cotton goods: coke was advanced
and afterward Bessemer pig. In all
these cases ii is reasoned that the
large demand for consumption though
yet wanting, must come until il is seen
that prices are going up. Higher wages
by formal advance of 10 cents in the
price of coke, and now Bessemer pig has
risen 35 cents at ,Pittsburg and 25 at
Philadelphia. Beginning at the bottom
To life prices requires exceptional
strength, but the Carnegie-Frick inter-
est is exceptionally strong. So far,
there is no answering increase in de-
mand or in prices for manufactured
products, and on the whole the range is
slightly lower than a week ago, angles
and common bar having yielded a little.
The general belief is that dear materi-
ais will kindle more buying of products.
As yet 1t seems impossible to fill the
mills with orders, and the struggle of
those yet unemployed keeps prices
down.
Stocks are stronger. for the first time
in many months with a valid reason.
The rise has been slight, but earnings
in March have been 10 per cent. larger
than last year, and only 1l.6 per cent
less than 1898. with improvements
toward the close of the month, while
in February the decrease compared
with 1898 was 1872 per cent.
Rates for money are higher. as usual
Just before April l, and the commercial
demand is somewhat larger.
Failures for the week have been 23i
in the United States against 2SS last
year; and ~ in Canada against 30 last
year. The recent increase indicates
past rather than recent conditions of
,unsoundness.

She had been wrought up on the sub
