Another Advance in Pig.

Announcement was made today of another advance in pig iron quotations. The Sloss-Shefield Steel and Iron Com- pany has sold 5000 tons of iron at $13.75 per ton, No. foundry basis. The iron goes outside of the home territory; that Is, further away than 1S0 miles of the city. This indicates that Northern and Western iron manufacturers are not selling iron under Southern prices. The demand is so strong for pig iron. delivery next year. that another ad- vance of 25 cents Is looked for before the 10th inst.

Truck and Farm Produce Prices.

Very little truck or other farm
products are being brought into Ra-
leigh just now by the farmers, they
being busy at home with prepara-
tions for their crops for the coming
season. Prices of various produce
hold up remarkably well on the Ra-
leigh market. In the matter of
chickens, well-developed hens bring
from SO to 60 cents and young chick
ems from 30 to 40 cents. There are
practically no turkeys being brought
to the market. Pork is bringing 812
cents a pound, but very little is be-
ing offered at this time. Eggs are
being sold for Is cents from the
farmers wagons, while the hucksters
and grocers are retailing them at
1872 cents. Cabbage are bringing
5 cents a head. Tomatoes are two for
5 cents. Lettuce is 10 and Is cents
per head, according to the quality.
Salad is 10 cents a peck. New Irish
potatoes are 1912 cents a quart.
Radishes are bringing 5 cents a
bunch, and onions 5 cents a bunch:
Sweet potatoes are bringing Is and
80 cents per bushel, and Irish pota-
toes about one dollar per bushel.-

No so Bad as at First Reported.

Later developments and careful in
vestigation shows that the reports as
to damage of truck by frost Sunday
night were more or less exaggerated.
The frost was unusually heavy for
the time of year, besides there was a
slight freeze, which did considerable
damage to uncovered lettuce and
such other truck as have been grown
under cover.
Early cucumbers which were being
forced in frames and were unpro-
tected that night, were ruined, and
in hills, just coming up were COM
pletely killed.
Peas were nipped a good deal, but
as there were but few blossoms, that
crop was not materially hurt. Very
few beans were up.
Irish potatoes were cut down, but
they will sprout up again and the
crop will only be a few days later.
Corn was scalded somewhat, but is
coming put all right.
The fruit crop was not injured as
much us it was thought to be. The
foliage was nipped and many bios
SONS are shedding, but enough are
left to indicate a considerable fruit
crop if no other disaster happens

TWO REPORTS AS TO LAST WEEKS
FROST.
An Early Wilmington Estimate of 7oo,-
600 Damage to Truck.

Wilmington, N. c., April 6.-Re-
ports received here to-day indicate
very heavy damage to the vegetable
crop in this section by the frost yes
terday morning. 1t is roughly esti-
mated that the loss will amount to
two hundred thousand dollars
throughout the east Carolina belt.
Irish potatoes, beans, peas, cucum-
bers, cantaloupes and all other grow
ing vegetables were practically
killed. Very little damage was done
to lettuce on account of it's being
under canvas. Strawberries also suf-
fered to some extent from the cold,
but the growers had the vines gener-
ally covered, which saved a good part
Of the fruit. The loss will fall heav-
lily on the farmers. In all early veg
table crops ~replanting will be neces-
sary. Ploughed ground was frozen
a half inch deep in all exposed
places.

A striking feature of this number
of The Progressive Farmer is Mr.. E.
M. Andrews's full page advertise
back cover. The Progressive Farmer
is glad to add it's endorsement to the
following tribute to Mr.. Andrews as
found in yesterdays Charlotte OBJ
server:
"His many friends of Charlotte
and vicinity regretted to give him up
as a citizen, and the Observer can
truthfully speak for them, that their
very best wishes went with him to
his new home in Greensboro. Since
establishing there, even from the
very day that his doors we're thrown
open to the public, success has been
his. He has had but principle
and that is to be absolutely fair
with every class of people,; no par
TALLY is ever shown. He has always
been a 'one price man, discriminate
ing in the case of no one. As an ad-
vertiser he has appealed to the pub
lie as a conservative dealer, handling
only that which is the very best to
be had, and offering it at the very
lowest possible figure that will allow
him a profit. His business in
Greensboro occupies three stores of
four floors each, situated on Elm
Street, in the busiest section of that
busy street. Every floor in his build
ing is packed to it's utmost capacity
with the most modern and up-to-date
goods and his stock is indeed a cred
it to the whole State. Mr.. Andrews
has been instrumental in introducing
and establishing some of the best
known musical instruments used in
North Carolina. He has endeavored
to handle only such goods in the line
of pianos and organs as would give
absolute satisfaction and justice to
his guarantees. We can assure the
public that from u acquaintance
with Mr.. Andrews that they will find
everything represented by him to be
absolutely true and consistent"

MAN WAS NOT
SUFFOCATED

The policeman tried to get him to
90 away and lay down and sleep
off his drunk, but he refused to
90. and the policeman had to ar
rest him-which he did. The next
morning Gross complained of be-
ing sick and wanted some whls-
key and strong coffee. which was
furnished him. Later he wanted
more whiskey, and it was given
to him. He had every attention
the town officials could give him,
and was later found dead.
It is thought, in addition to
drinking. he used dope. and no
doubt died from heart failure as
the result Of too much drinking.
The lookup is new. has two win
dOwS in it that are open, and there
are large cracks in the siding, so
it would be an utter impOSsibllity
for anybody to suffOcate in such
an open building.
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-08-29

1t was reported and published
in some Wheeling and Pittsburg
papers that William Gross, who
died in the lookup at Smithfeld
in Wetzel county, was suffocated
to death while in the lookup on
account of the condition of the
building.
Hal Gruber, who is manager Of
the Oil Well Supply company in
that place, says this report is abb
solutely false, and was sent out
for the purpose of injuring the
Mayor of that town, who has been
enforcing the law against selling
whiskey on Sunday.
Gross was a man who spent most
of his time working around sa-
looms for what he could get to
drink. One day last week he was
very drunk, and was cursing and
swearing in a loud tone Of voice.
