HOW WASTE PRODUCT PAYS.
Excellent Mating From Eushes Which Grow
in Eastern North Carolina.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer)
Greensboro, N. c., Aug. 3.-Mr j.
Stuart Kuykendall, who for three years
has been agitating the building of factor
les in the United States to weave mattings
from rushes which grow in many parts of
the South, received today a specimen of
high grade mattings just woven by a firm
in Maine. He says it is equal to the best
Japanese goods. A letter from the firm
states that two looms are now at work
and in the course of a few weeks thirty
more will be in operation. Especial in
curry is also made as to supply of matera I
i'm North Carolina and the assurance
given that would be manufactured along
this line could be furnished capital and
instruction where the raw material could
be had in sufficient quantities to justify
the operation of looms. Mr.. Kuykendall
has also received several letters from the
Department of Agriculture at Washington
in regard to North Carolina rushes suit
able for mating.
He says that there is enough material
going to waste in Eastern North Carolina
to furnish all the mating that is con-
sumed in the United States, all of which
is now imported from Japan.
His recent article on this subject, pub
lshed in the State papers, the Manufac-
turers Record and industrial papers, at
tracted widespread attention, and has
brought him many letters of inquiry and
commentator, including the sample mat
ting received today.

STOCKS AND. BONDS.

New York, Aug. 3-The stock market
settled down into an almost lmmovable
rut today. Stocks of the first class when
trayersed range of as much as point
might be numbered on the fingers OF one
hand Union Pacific was the most prehm-
inent of these and was forced down at one
time l Ia. but was not held there. me
selling was attributed to professional ma
nipulation for effect on the market. The
undertone of the general market was III
fact heavy, but the drift of prices was
quite aimless and sluggish to degree
close to inertia The only significance to
be derived from the market IS therefore
q negative one, the extreme apathy OF the
trading representing the profound doubt
IN which the speculative outlook is shroud-
cd according to all the opinions that one
can gather in the Wall Street district. The
Total dealings fell below the 100000 shares
mark. 1t Is necessary to go back to the
summer OF 1900, just preceding the last
presidential election to find a level of ac-
t'vlty as low as that now availing
The principal puzzle in the situation
winch was dwelt on today was the aston
isnlng maintenance of the volume loans

of the associated banks in face of the
thorough liquidation to which the stock
market has been subjected. The enormous
shrinkage in prices of securities has caus-
ed an obvious decrease in the basis of
credits, and the urgent selling of securi-
lies to make good this shrinkage in mar
gins or to pay off loans outright has been
patent to all observers for month after
month in the stock market. Conjecture
loses itself in the attempt to guess what
great sink hole can have absorved the ire
nendous proceeds of all this liquidation
with practically no effect on the loan item
Of the banks nor of the trust companies.
The question of possible over extension
of credits outside the securities market
and the necessity for a future contraction
there similar to that which Wall Street
has been going through engage an inter
esting amount of attention. The action
or inaction of today's market reflects the
disposition of the speculative world to sit
down and await further light on these
questions. The improvement in the con
dition of cotton over the previous month
shown by the government report on cot
ton agreed closely with expectations and
failed to weaken the cotton market. The
strength in wheat was calculated also to
cause a weakening in stocks The week

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, August 3.-The cotton mar

bulllsh monthly bureau report and which
Was also stimulated by the presence on
the floor of the New Orleans bull leader
and expectations of bull demonstration
later in the day which was not, however,
forthcoming Owing to the continued hoh-
day at Liverpool there were no advlces
from that center to influence the early
trading and while the exports from New
Orleans amounting to some $4,000 bales,
reported after the close on Saturday and
had bullsh effect on sentiment, the
generally favorable weather operated
against prices and after showing at the
best prices on the call an advance of 8
TO points, the market eased off In the
absence of supporting orders. Just pre-
vous to the reading of the bureau report
at midday a net decline was apparent of
from l to 10 points with August leading
the decline under notices which were out
TO the amount of some six hundred to
eight hundred bales and which were not
proptly taken care of. When the re-
port OF the government was read shoWfMg
an improvement for the month of 2.64 re-
cent and a condition of 1871. it proved
slightly below expectations and prices at
once improved from to points. The
report did not stimulate activity, how
ever, and during the balance of the ses-
sion the market ruled very quiet and while
somewhat irregular displayed a sagging
tendency in accordance with predictions
for a bearish weekly bureau tomorrow.
The close was steady net one point
higher to five points lower. Sales were
estimated at 10000 bales.

vicinity of divers. Jones county, Friday
night about eight o'clock. The residence
of Mr.. Becton Simmons was struck dur
ing the fury. doing fearful damage The
building was new and was one of the
handsomest residences of that section. The

New Orleans, La, August 3.-Spot cot

The future market was very quiet until
a bullsh monthly bureau report on condi-
tions put some life in the ring. At the
opening the new crop positions were to
. points above Saturdays closing but soon
thereafter declined until prices were
slightly below Saturdays level The re-
rort of 1911 was a surprise and caused
heavy trading. Those who had sold short
in expectation of bearish report COW

prices up. The report itself did not have
any effect on prices for as soon as the

A Prospect for 1872 Million Bushels OF
Corn-Large Yield of Hay.

Corn-large Yield OF Hay.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, Aug. 5.-Secretary
George B. Ellis of the Missouri state
board of agriculture gave out the fol-
lowing statement today concerning
present crop conditions:
The same extreme conditions prevail
concerning the crop that existed one
month ago and the general average
condition remains about the same. Sew
eral counties show an improvement
during the month, while others how
a decline. The average condition OF
all correspondent reporting is IL, ex-
actly the same as last month, but the
condition has declined during the
month, but the condition has declined
during the month points in the north
east section, which has an acreage OF
1908, 900; the northwest, with an acre
age of 2,032 900, has declined 2 points;
the central section, with an acreage of
972 00O,- has declined points; the
southeast section, with an acreage OF
1,437 ,000 has improved points; the
southeast, showing the highest aver
age of any section, has improved 5
points during the month and the acre
age for that section is S91 900. Much
of the early corn on fiat land has tas-
sled very low, while on rolling land
there is considerable good corn. With
seasonable rains and late frosts mrS:h
of the late corn will make fair crop.
On August 1, 1902, the condition for
the state was 101 and the final yield
was 307 ,364.0GO bushels. The present
condition indicates a probable yield
of 1872 million bushels, which is 125
million bushels less than the crop of
last year. There is, however, consider
able old corn in the cribs compared
with very little that was on hand one
year ago. 1t is estimated that 81 per
cent of the overlooked corn lands has
been replanted-
Much of the broom corn crop is late
and the condition of the state only "A.
There has been an improvement Of
eight points in the cotton condition
during the month, the present condt-
ton being rs. In Dunklin county,
where more than half the cotton is
raised, the average condition is 81.
However, cotton is. just now. needing
rain in some counties
A full crop of hay of excellent quail
ity has ben harvested and pastures
are generally doing well. The second
or seed crop of clover promises fair
the average condition being 80.
The fine crop of white clover has
furnished excellent bee pasture and
more than an average crop of very
fine honey has been gathered. The av-
erage condition of honey for the state
is 1O1.
The condition of the apple crop IL
unfavorable. promising little more
than one-third of crop, being about
the same as one month ago.

Grooming the Herd.

After the cattle have had their hay
in the morning they are cleaned up for
the day. We use good stin root brushes
for the purpose and the curry comb IL
brought into requisition when neces-
sary. The cows enjoy this brushing
and stand perfectly still, frequently
stopping their eating during the opera
ton Some authorities claim that brush
ing stimulates the circulation, thereby
increasing the milk fiow. Whether or
not this is SO, do not know. That q
clean row of cows is more attractive
and pleasing to the eye, there is no
doubt Besides this, can you tell me
of anything more repulsive than milk
ing vile smelling, filthy cows? II the
custom of cleaning cows was more gen.
eral among farmers, the butter max
ers and creamery men throughout the
country would have much less trouble
in producing first class article.-n.

Hoo Pasture.

1t is not safe or even desirable to
rely upon a single crop to furnish pas
ture for our hogs throughout the en-
tire season. 1t is better to arrange for
a succession of pastures from the be-
ginning of the season until the hogs
are ready for market, making the feed
richer and more concentrated toward
the close of the season, and as we ap-
proach the finishing Of fattening Pc
riod. For this purpose the following
crops are recommended: Red clover
or alfalfa, rape. cowpeas, soy beans.
On lands adapted to alfalfa it will
undoubtedly prove to be better for
hogs than red clover, inasmuch as it
will produce a larger quantity of feed
of a somewhat higher value. mas
much as we have not yet learned to
grow alfalfa successfully on the ma
jority of our upland clay soils, we
shall be forced to rely chiefly upon
clover. 1t starts earlier in the spring
than any hog pasture we have except
ing alfalfa, and would therefore be
used first, and should be used as long
as it is succulent and palatable. Usu-
ally not later than the middle of juno
the crop will have become so mature
that the hogs will relish change for
the time being, and the surplus clover
should be cut and removed, so as to
allow the second or fall crop to start
promptly.-Report Missouri State
Board of Agriculture.

Condition of Foreign Crops.


According to reports received by the
Department of Agriculture relative to
the condition of European crops July
LIST, in Russia the cereal crop prospects
have considerably improved even in
regions where conditions at the be-
ginning of spring were unfavorable. In
Germany there has been great i'm
provement in all the winter cereals,
particlarly rye. In Austria only q
good medium harvest of spring sown
crops is to be expected. Hungary's
output will fall considerably below
that of 1902, the deficiency in the case
of wheat being 15h per cent. Most
of the Bulgarian crops are in good con-
dision- Storms and floods have serious
ly damaged crops and vineyards in
Italy. In France the winter wheat
area is estimated to be 6s1, 724 acres
less than in 1902. Wheat and other
crops made marked improvement dur
Ing June and now look well. Reports
from Denmark are generally favorable.
Great Britain's wheat crop is late and
will hardly equal the average yield.
The total wheat crop which India har-
vested this spring has been estimated
at 29O, 261, 104 bushels against 226, 370.-
$50 in 1902.
