Perhaps no industry in North
Carolina has suffered more in
any one season of late years than
has the fish industry this sea-
son. The extremely cold wealth
er, the continued rains and high
water in the rivers have been
very disastrous The Washing~
ton Gazette says:
We asked one of our fisher
men would the fishing business
be profitable this season He
replied. "Unless the unexpect>
ed happens, this season will be
most disastrous one in our his
tory. Commencing with the
cold spell, il which thousands
Of dollars worth of nets were
lost, and lost at a time when it
was too late to replace them
coupled with the tact that the
run Of shad and herring has
been less than in years, all go to
make this season disastrous to
the fishermen. So true is this, |
do lot believe there IS man
engaged III the business that
has made money buc has lost
money. 1t is true the season
is yet two months longer, and
it will take a large run of nsh
to make us coIue up even.

venus NifcuAate In the crescent City
Only Under Sufferance
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
New Orleans is not penny town" AL
though coppers have been in circulation foI
years, 1t has been under sufferance, so TO
speak, and they have never been generally
accepted as part of the economic scheme
Ihey are handed almost entirely by women
and children, and therein rests a curious cir
cumstance noted by students Of sociology
1t is estimated by the subtreaaury officials
IN this city that there are now between l go :
New Orleans; in other words S15G00 worth
at the top figure But there are a thousand
and one avenues through which they disap-
pear; new needs for their employment are
constantly springing up and the result is a
steady demand
The banks get in a few hundred pennies
every day, and save them for the retailers.
They keep us pretty well drained said
one of the tellers, ''and around about holt
day time we make point Of getting an
extra supply from the subtreasury for the
benefit OF our customers"
Pennies are not used by the banks Of New
Orleans in the payment of checks. II a
check. for example, is drawn fer S621S the
holder receives 1920. II the amount is
s6217 he gets s62 Is. The split Is made be-
tween the second and third cent, and the
system, which has been in vogue for many
years, IS very rare-y the subject of any
complaint. 1t makes an exact balance OF
coppers at the end of the day'r business
operates 10 even things up to within a few
cents. In the long run about as many checks
break on one half of the nickel as on the
other.

WINTER MARKETS FOR POTATOES
The opening of February finds the situa
ton in potatoes fairly satisfactory, all things
considered. Recent inquiry instituted by
Orange Judd Farmer in the heavy potato
sections of the Eastern. Middle and North
western states brings out the fact that the
situation is generally normal for the time Of
JSoi- L al iueIS SILL uOlu considerable SIOcF s
in the aggregate, yet it does not appear
these are burdensome. Our replies point to
relatively larger proportion Of rhe latest
crop still held by farmers in New York aid
Michigan than further west in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa. etc AS a whole potatoes
are keeping well. Relatively few have been
frosted, nor is there much complaint of rot
ting
A fair movement is noted from interior
shipping points to the great consuming. and
distributing centers. New England is well
supplied with Aroostook stock, also work
ing to some extent on potatoes from New
York and further West New York city is
drawing its supplies largely from Maine,
New York, New Jersey and Michigan Chi
cago and other Western cities are receiving
all they can handle from Michigan, Wisoon-
sin and the Northwest. In some instances
correspondents note that farmers are inclined
to hold for a further advance but returns
OF this character are not general. The cur.
rent demand is fairly satisfactory for the
time Of year, but in many sections, notably
in the Northwest. prices to farmers are so
low there is little profit at present. While
there is always the possibility of material
advances in the late winter and early spring
the business farmer does not lose sight Of the
fact OF shrinkage through possible rot and
