PRICES OF eEEE ADVANCED
Packers Claim They Were Supplying
Markets at a Loss.

Markets at Loss.
Chicago. April 14.-Prices of beef
have advanced in every important
market Of the United States. The
consumer is paying the advance price,
which to him represents several cents
per pound over what he paid up to 10
days ago. Swift & Co., Armour and
Nelson Morris state that no beef has
been supplied to the retail markets
Of Chicago or to any other market of
the country during the last month and
half except with loss. This, it is
declared. has been partially due to the
fact that the breeders Of stock and
the handlers Of range cattle have been
holding back on supply until the grass
Of the range becomes nourishing.
Swift & Co, speaking for the packing
interests, Issued the following state
ment;
During the last six weeks the pro-
ducer Of beef cattle has been receiv-
Ing about a dollar advance over past
prices for choice cattle. This simply
means that the advance to the con-
sumer in prices would be about 81 on
the one-half of choice cattle that can
be used for food purposes. The range
cattle producer is the master of the
situation"

Serpent worship.

Serpent worship still survives in
India, and a snake shrine is said to be
as much an attraction in a house on
the Malabar coast as a garden in the
case of a country home in the United
States. Serpents are, however, most
unobtrusive, and unless one walks
nOiselessly and barefooted in the dark,
as Hindoos do, snake bite is an improb-
able contingency.

For week Ending Monday August u,
1906.
1t has been cloudy and warm during
tie first part of the week in the east
rnd centra, portions, and generally
rainy in the middle of the week
throughout the State. The tempera-
ture as Il rule has been cool. These
conditions were very favorable for
outside work in many parts Of the
state, but lot beneficial for growing
crops. In some sections the land was
so wet thai nc outside work could be
done, and the crops suffered as the land
could not be worked. The rains were
particularly damaging i'll the central
and western districts, where consider
able injury was done by washing.
Reports of cotton shedding come
from all parts of the state. Cotton
rust is reported to be very bad in
Johnston county. In the eastern dis
tTict cotton is opening quite generally;
also to some extent in the central and
western districts where it is still
blooming. While some report very
good and average crops, many re-
port a small or a one-half crop.
Young and late cOrn was damaged
by rain to a great extent, and is firing
in some places. In some sections the
crop is promising, bur many report a
small crop. 1t is not maturing well,
and more sunshine is needed for this
crop throughout the state.
Tobacco is still being cut in central
and western districts; in most places
| curing is progressing nicely, and a
good average crop will be realized.
Tobacco is firing very fast in Person
county and is being cut and cured as
fast as possible. Worms are in InJurn2
tobacco in Yadkin county.
The pea crop is looking fine all over
the state. Turnips are coming up, and
doing well: they are still being sown
in the west. Bugs are injuring tur-
rips and cabbages in Davidson county.
The resetting of strawberry plants is in
progress throughout the east and e n
trail portions, and the plants are living
and looking well. Much hay and fod-
der has been destroyed by the wet wea-
Their in some localities, fodder is still
being cut and much of it has been
saved. Peanuts are looking well; fruit
almost a complete failure. Sweet and
white potatoes generally reported as a
fine crop. Farmers are blowing land
for wheat.
