HER DECREASING TRADE.
An Inquiry Into the Causes Leading to
New YOrk's Decline.

New York, June 21.-The State Com
merce Commission met in this city today
to consider i'm detail the causes of
the great decrease in the export grain
trade and other trade from the port of
New York and the correspondence large
increase in the grain exports of the
other Atlantic ports, particularly the
South Atlantic and Gulf States.
John Valiant. a large exporter of this
city, stated that the principal causes
of the decrease in New York's export
trade were due TO the excessive trmi-
nal charges, the arbitrary railroad ele-
vator charges and the differential freight
rates at present existing.
Cyrus Engs. an exporter. said that
Boston. Baltimore. Norfolk. Philadel
phia and Newport News, in the order
named, had received the largest amount
of the export business which New York
had lost.

Delphia Ann. Cook.

NOAp"As AAAs NvVAs lH-.
The subject Of this sketch
was born Dec. 10, 1859, and
departed this life April 20.
1899. She was u daughter OF
Capt. and Mrs. Jordan Cook.
of Linville. She was united
in wedlock to W. d. Cook on
April II, 1877, and was the
mother OF nine children, four
boys and four girls still liv-
ing, the youngest a babe Of
9 months.
Mrs. Cook professed reli-
gion a good many years ago,
but for reasons best known
to herself, she meyer joined
any church.
Her brother, W. A. Cook,
died just one week before her.
During bis illness she was con
stantly at his bedside, and
being subject to heart dis
ease, the sleepless days and
nights had a telling effect up
on her. She told some par
ties that if her brother died
she could not live. After his
death and burial, the excite
ment that had held her up re
laxed, and on the day of the
burial, she took her bed and
was never up again.
1t ia said by those of her
friends who knew her best,
that she died without an en-
emy. Such can truthfully be
said of but few persons.
Hers was a model life, and
she was known only for her
kindness and goodness to all.
He life was marked by chris
tian piety and devotion to
every duty. She was a most
loyal and devoted wife; a ten
der, loving but faithful moth
err, not suffering a false ten
derness, as some mothers do,
to spoil her children.
1t ia sad to hear of the
death of any one, but it is
doubly sad to hear of t h Q
death of a mother. Husband,
you will miss your wife; chill
dren, you will rissyour fond
mother; you who remember
her, always try to initiate
her example.
We believe that she was full
ly prepared for the summons
of the death angel. She ex-
pressed no fears whatever;
seemed perfectly resigned and
we believe that,allis we'll. She
leaves one brother and a
host OF friends and relatives
to mourn her departure. We
need not shed tears for her,
az our loss is only her gain
and she is now rejoicing with
the loved ones in that BEAU
tiful country where troubles
and sorrows are unknown.
May her christian life serve
to lead others to that bliss
full shore where parting is no
more, and may Gods guild
ing hand be with the remain
ing relatives SO that in t h g
great hey ond there will be a
happy family reunion in the
land OF perpetual sunshine.

oped the fact that there was

method in their Madness"
as a trust has been formed
and all the print cloths that
the mile can produce, with
which to make fall goods,
have been bought up and are
now controlled by the calico
printers. Prices on t h e 8 e
goods have already advanced
and will most likely be high
er still. This firm proposes to
sell these goods this season
lower than the manufacturers
themselves will ask fol them.
While talking on this sub.
ject, my attention was called
to a recent interesting trans
action in drv goods. The
Statesville Cotton Mills some
time since sold, through their
New York commission house,
fifty bales of their "Seyen
Oaks" brand of sheeting toa
firm in New Orleans; these
goods afterwards advanced
in price, and the Wallace
Bros, Co.. with an eye to bus
mess, bought from the New
Orleans house all the sheet
ing they had on hand, at one
quarter OF q rent lower price
than the cUtton mill h ere
was actually selling at t h g
time. In this transaction the
firm explained that t h cir
long experience in business
enabled them to know when
to buy. This experience Of
tea,enables them to obtain
similar advantages for t h Z
benefit OF their customers.
Experience, of course, is a val
liable factor in the conduct
of this great business.
In addition to their i'm,
mense line of cry goods, they
carry a complete line of no.
tions, embracing almost ev-
erything required. While ap-
preaching a huge pile OF red
boxes, l found that they con
tanned hosiery alone; and
why there were so many OF
one kind was made known to
me when the explanation
came that it was the entire
stock of a Southern mill, and
to effect the bargain t h ey
had obtained, they made a
clean sweep OF the whole lot.
Limited space forbids my
taking upin detail significant
and important facts relative
to this great business. One
other illustration, however,
will serve to indicate some
thing OF their operations. Sew
eral months ago a contract
was let for 5000 pairs OF o.
veralls alone, on which they
claim a saving of more than
5 per cent.
What would you think il
told that there was a con
cern IN North Carolina which
had on It's counters more
than one million yards oI
goods? Yet such IS the fact
and Sta tesville boasts OF that
house.
ltake great pleasure in pla
cling these few facts before the
readers of Shop Talk, hoping
it will prove OF mutual ad
vantage to them and t h {
