TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report for last week
says: Unsettled weather operated to
curtail retail and jobbing distribution
last week, and imparts a quieter tone
to several lines indirectly associated
Herewith. Stock speculation, too has
been less rampant, and last weeks rec
ord of bank clearings has therefore
not been equalled. There is, however,
little or no apparent loss of basic
strength and, indeed, the general level
of staple prices has been slightly ad-
vanced. This latter movement is most
notable in the iron and steel trades,
in raw cotton and to a lesser degree in
the cereals and some hog products.
In marine shipping circles distinct
improvement is reported since the first
week of November, while the volume of
business in pig iron is still large, it
does not apparently come up to that of
last week or the week previous. No
disappointment is, however, felt at this,
more particularly as quotations have
again been marked up. Reports of pre-
paration to resume come from many
plants for some time idle, and a sample
instance is the report that every fur
mace in the Chicago field will be at
work next week. Reports from Pitts
burg are that the demand for steel bill
lets is still backward, not so much be-
cause of the price emanded-$19. 50
but because of it's being fixed by the
pool at that rate. Foundry pig is, how
ever, active and tending higher. What
the market for cruder fol ms lacks is
made up by the immense demand for
finished products, which is reported in
excess of all records for this period.
Plates are active, as are structural ma
terial, wire, oars and in fact all classes
of finished material, not excepting
rails, which are reported being freely
taken by western railroads at the much
abused $26 basis. Other metals. nota-
bly, "copper" are strong. Tin is again
tending upward.
Cash wheat is slightly higher partly
on the belief that some real damage has
been inflicted in Argentine, but main
ly because the supply suitable for ex-
port is really limited at the seaboard.
Wheat, including flou~ shipments for
the week aggregate 1921 96 bushels.
against 4,026,020 bushels last week /;
3,S7S,677b ushels in the corresponding
week of 80; 5,S24,766 bushels in
1898; 5,465,153 bushels in 1897 and g..
753, 500 in 1896.
From July l, to date this season,
wheat exports are 75,3O1,3 bushels

saying that the statements made by the
Revs. Messrs Paddock and George re-

Pekin, Nov. 26.-The diplomatic body
have held final meeting and agreed
on the terms of the preliminary treaty.
Nothing now remains except to secure
the approval of the respective govern
ments before definite negotiations with
the Chinese peace commissioners are
begun.
The precise terms of the settlement
have not yet been made public here. but
1T is believed, outside the diplomatic
corps, that the main points are in sub

Washington, Nov 26-Such infor-
nation concerning the Chinese situa-
ton as has come to the state depart
ment in the last few days is said to
indicate more favorable condition of
affairs respecting the chances for an
understanding among the ministers of
the powers than during the early part
of the week, when a deadlock seemed
imminent. Just what is the nature of
this information is not stated but
probably it came as the result of Secre-
tary Hays latest note to the powers
setting out the object of the United
States government as to China This
note contained the instructions that
have been sent Minister Conger and
are believed to be of such a nature as
to constitute an appeal from the ex-
IRENE course suggested by some of the
powers as to the treatment of the Chi
nese government on some of the mat
ters upon which the ministers have
been unable to agree. Nothing has
come from Minister Conger during the
past As hours.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The treasury de-
partment has decided to admit the lace
workers and their families who were
brought to this city by DIR. j. A. DOwie,
the "divine healer" and the founder of
Zion City, H., to learn others the art of
lacemaking. This is a reversal of the
action of the Philadelphia immigration of
ficials who had decided that the lacework-
ers should not be admitted to this coun-
try.

Not the Only Pebble.

That there has been some
money made by investing in
property around town at the
right time (some years ago and
of late) can not be disputed, and
it is claimed that there are as
good opportunities now as ever,
though many will not agree,
perhaps.
We have our mind upon some
property as fine for private resi-
dences for the average home
seeker as any in the city, which
is at present below par on &C
count Of the class that have taxi
en- up their abode in that sec~
ton.
We regard. the transforming
of this state OF things from what
it is to what it should be as one
of the biggest moves in the way
OF progress that Elizabeth City
can inaugurate. We refer to
what is known as "PennsyI-
vania,' lying between Railroad
or Pennsylvania Avenue and
Road street, and intersected by
Walnut, Broad, Second and
Third streets, all of which are
we'll laid off and partly built up
with respectable houses and oc-
cupied by good citizens.
There must be something like
100 lots in this settlement, and
scattered in the midst of them
are a lot of huts occupied with
a few exceptions) by the lowest
type of our colored citizens.
The place has a reputation
that is not savory, the better
class of colored people disdain-
ing to live in that quarter This
being the case, what must it be
to those good citizens who live
near by7 And what a reflection
also on the town to allow these
things to exist.
We come to the point of get
ting relief, and turning it into
profit to the citizen at large and
to those who will un>
1ertake to bring "order out of
chaos as it were. We believe
all the property can be bought

As We See 1t.

We are each day confronted
bv some remarkable deed of
some one who has perhaps new
er been noticed. Standing out
into this cline of Invention and
time of modern Improvement
we notice things that perhaps it
took the designer years to com>
plete. We look at it and at a
glance we understand what it is.
The time seems to be upon
us when we can look out over
this land and see more plainly
than ever the rapid movements
to success. The time has long
since gone when we can sit with
folded hands and be content.
The day Of stir and hustle is
now ours to use as we like but to
be successful it plainly shows
that we must be On the alert.
We 60 back to the years that
bring Thomas A. Edison's boy
hood days before us. We read
of his 1nisfortunes in many Of
his youthful undertakings.
Where do you find him to-day
At the head of all American in
ventors. With patience and
with his powerful mind of gen
Jus he has opened many new
channels to the secret of cleo
tricity.
In this day of advance ment
we have no time to argue as to
who deserves the beautiful mon
ument, or who deserves but a |
clay mound. Each one will be
cared for according to what they |
do.
Each day finds this, our home,
America" advancing. Those
who may pass out of action will
give vacancy to some other wait
ing from the school of knowl>
edge to take the stand in me
chanical arts. In years passed
we have seen great progress in
the advancement of our country.
The mechanic must not leave
Fisherman & farmer. [volume] (Edenton, N.C.) 1887-19??, 1900-06-08

his plans unfinished nor fold his |
hands from the duty Of his c0un-
t1y.
We find also the American
woman more vigorous toward
the movements OF our nation
than ever before. Her service
at home is a grand one, her in~
fuence and advice. if given by
the true, should ever be cher
ished. We see no reason for
them to enter on political fields,
neither to become lawyers and
doctors, because they cannot
overcome the many difficulties
that arise in these professions.
We do appreciate seeing the
American women organizing
themselves together in secret
session as auXiliaries to secret
orders ; but, leaving this we
wonder in amazement at any
who wish to become popular in
the professions which at times
battles the brain of man.
Then may we each to Our
places go forward to our destiny.
1t matters not how humble or
how beautiful the outside world
may appear, we must rot forget
our work.
AS Americans we look to
America for protection. Then
as men of every vocation of life,
from the hum bic home to the
beautiful palace, let US watch
and do what we can her light
to MAINTAIN, and may she flour,
ish Oh in her splendor under
the flag of freedom we so proud
ly unfurl today.
