The water-indented State of North Car
olina has over 5000 miles OF riparian
rights and the fisheries are the most in
portant Of any in America.
Three hundred thousand yards of seines
are operated in AIbemarle nd alone. IN
addition to thousands OF stake, drift and
pound nets.
Some seines are nearly four miles long.
The investments in the large fisheries OF
the Albemarle section sometimes reach
saJ.OUO, AMI the profits or many aggregate
$4,000 yearly. The fisheries employ g.
COO people and yearly 5000 boats, and
The podnls Of fish taken yearly exceed 33.-
000. 900.
North Carolina shad command the high
est prices. because they are early in the
market. Formerly there were operated
along the shores OF TyrreIl county some OF
the largest seine fisheries In the world.
Dut tncy were destroyed ia the cIvn war,
and have never been refitted.
The great variety OF edible fresh water
fishes taken III the North Carolina rivers is
surprising. The drag uetS of the Trent
River often Capturetwenty different species.
INCLUDE MANY KINDS.

THE GENERAL SITUATION.

Henry Clews' New York circular says Of the sit
nation: "Wall street is still held in complete sus'
pense by the excitement and uncertainty attend
ing the approach of the political conventions. The
market Is entirely in the hands of the professional
operators, who under such circumstances find sell
ing most congenial so that the predominant ten
dencv is toward slow decline in prices. Outside
these political conditions influences are on the
who,e favorable. 1t is true the export OF gold con-
tinues, but Wall street has not taken that factor
very seriously, and there indications that the
movement viii come to end There is
also an absence Of return of securities from Eu-
rope; which is rather remarkable considering the
agitation of the coinage Issue in the elections
The railroads also doing well Managers
generally report q good business and encouraging
prospects and making liberal provision for ac-
commodating the coming crop movements The
earnings make a good showing compared with last
year. which is the more gratifying year ago
the business upon an increasing scale. In
the mercantile business the conditions are varied,
some trades reporting fair movement. but at low
prices, while others full of complaint. The
dry oods distributors especially find IL difficult TO
move OF their seasons stocks and have 10 adapt
prices to the conditions of ample stocks and slow
demand. ne iron trade is very sluggish; the re-
raising OF prices by the com binations having
put a very severe check upon the demand. Taken
as a whole, however, the material conditions at
fectng he market would probably admit OF gen
eral rise in stocks. were IL not for the Chilling
effects of political uncertainties"
