THE STATE OF TRADE.
"Bradstreet's" says:

Speculative activity, seeking expression in the
markets for securities. cereals. cotton and
some hog products. has rather tended to obscure
interest In general distributive trade. which has,
however, been temporarily disturbed. in retail lines
at least, by widespread unfavorable weather con-
ditons While the general tendency of this specu
lation has been bullish. marked exception was
that furnished by bear1sh movements in wheat
and corn which have lowered the level OF these
products for the time being. The general consen
sus is that retail Easter trade has been to some
extent curtaied by rains in the cities and by bad
roads in the country districts but. above noted,
these really only temporary phases. and the
general outlook. alike crops and as to spring
trade as whole, is in a high degree encouraging.

DANGER TO FARMERS.

The farmer is in danger of over
doing things this year and be in
worse shape. He should plant this
year as though he expected to
get 5 cents for his cotton. From
the way things are moving so
early this spring he is fixing to
plant as though he thought cot
ton would not go down.
We hope it will not, but the
price necessarily follows the law
of supply and demand and if we
ever do, then of course we have
a less price for u commodity.
It would be we'll this year to
look after more bread stufs to
supply home, THAI to try to food
the market with the feecy staple.
All thu farmers should be eau
tious, they have had a good year
and they should try to make this
one better by raising all that is
necessary to keep the farm and
have some spending money, with
their cotton as their reserve.
We make the mistake when we
put all in cotton and then pay all
out for something to run the
farm, clothing and the food to
eat. Plant carefully and saving
this year and then we will have
not only a good year this year,
but each recurring year in it's re-
suits will teach the farmer by
experience-which is the best OF
all teachers-that diversified
crops is the bulwark of rea-
prosperity and home content
ment.

A WISE SELECTION.

Au0 OtdOo AOydCJo
Association at their meeting in
Raleigh last week unanimously
elected Col. Jno. s. Cunningham,
of Person, president of their asso-
citation to succeed Col. j. Bryan
Grimes, on his assuming the Office
of Secretary of State.
The select. on of Col. Cunningham
is a wise one, and his choice by a
unanimous vote is a compliment
that he emlnently deserved, and
the assoc alton did a graceful act
in thus recognizing his valuable
service to the industry they rep
resent in the past and their hope
Of yet greater things from his adj
ministcatlon in the future, his
wise counsel, aggressive energy
and indomitable perseverance,.
Col. Cunningham IS the largest
tobacco grower In tue United
States, and it is questionable if be
is not the largest In the world,
and all of his broad and fertile
acres lie within The borders of the
Old North State, and she has no
more patriotic mr. public spirited
son than the copgeulRi, big-heart-
ed John Cum ngham, who has
devoted bis busy life and IS now
in the meridian If bis Useful man
hood, directing the best efforts of
his mature Judgment to Develop
ing bis native State and promot-
ing the best interests of all her
people, Wherever he is known he
is esteemed Tor his real worth and
sterling manhood, and in his own
home, which is an idesI farmer
residence, his hospitality is royal
" extended, bat without ostenta-
ton.
Col. Cunningham has been dill.
igently at work for some time on
Congress to secure a reduction OF
the Tobacco lax to a more equi-
table basis, as it now bears heav-
lily and with Uneven weight upon
the farmers, who, being the prime
promoters OF the tobacco industry,
and WHO have 20 bear the brunt
of climatic reverses and all growth
failures, should be least burdened
with taxes. No man is better
qualified to present to Congress
the claims Of the tobacco growers
than be, and, clothed with the
prestige of the presidency of the
State Tobacco Growers Associa
ton, unanimously bestowed upon
him, we wish HIM fail and speedy
success in securing the desired tax
reduction.
