Scotland Neck could get another pas

the train that starts at Tarboro in the
morning, goes to Klnston and returns
in the afternoon, could just as we'll start
at Weldon, go to Hobgood, then to
Tarboro and on 10 Kinston and return
to Weldon in the afternoon.
This trip could be made by the same
crew that runs from Tarboro to Kins

Crop Conditions.

Up to ten days ago the genera! crop
condition in this region was favorable,
though along Roanoke river some crops
were suffering there by reason OF heavy
rains. During the past ten days the
rains throughout this community have
been heavy and almost constant, and
crops are showing considerable LOSE.
The grass has about taken some fele 8
and the farmers are powerless in tt g
face OF the constant rains.
But the conditions here are not as
bad as they are in the extreme eastern
counties. The Washington Progress
says:
"The crop conditions are distressing
in this and adjoining counties. In
many places crops have been abandon
ed. Upon the whole, with favorable
seasons from now on we might expect
something like half crop to be made
in this county In Hyde county we
learn the same conditions prevail as do
in this county. 1t is due to excessive
rains for over a month"
Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar
is the original laxative cough syrup
and combines the qualities necessary
to relieve the cough and purge the
system of cold. Contains no opiates.

New York, June 5.-The cotton mar ket was nervous and unsettled. Trad ing was active early. but quiet in the afternoon, when prices fluctuated with in narrow limits, following the early break. The close was steady at a net decline of 7@13 points Sales were es- tirnated at 200, 900 bales.
 The opening was barely steady at an advance of 1 point to decline of 4 points. Cables were little dlsappont ing and the local market was aggress lively raided by local bears right after the call. The decline resulting in the absence of important bull support caught stop loss orders and forced out some of the recent buyers.

Chicago, June 5-Improved weather for the growing crop caused weakness today in the local wheat market. the July option closing at net loss of SS. Corn was also down 3-S Oats showed a net gain of 3-S. Provisions were up
 With the exception of moderate firmness at the opening when commits sion houses Band local bulls were fair buyers. the wheat market was weak all day. The firn1ness at the opening was due to the fact tbat the world's shipments were 996S.000 bushels dur ing the last week against 11,11s.n. bushels for % the PreGsdng week and the decreased 3.160.000 bushels. These factors were completely. offset, how ever, by weather conditions in the Missouri, where the crop has been suf- suf fering for lack of moisture. The weakness of the corn market also tended to depress prices. Trading dur ing the day was rather light. The market closed weak with prices at the lowest point July opened 1-S@1-2 to 1-4@3-S sold at S1 S-S@1-2 and de- at 80 S-4. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 203.500 bushels.

 Ideal weatoer for the growing crop caused week corn market. Other factors contributing to the weakness were liberal local receipts an increased visible supply, lower prices for cash corn and the prospect of an increased movement from the country. Cash houses and local longs were the prinri- pal sellers, while offerings were taken chiefly by shorts. A slight rally took place during the last half of the session because of the buying for short ae- counts, but the firm feeling was quick ly dispelled. The close was weak with prices near the lowest point of the day July opened 1-S@14 to -4@3-Sc at 49 3-S to 12. sold off to 49 Is and at 49 3-S to 1-2. sold off to 49 1-s and rallied to 49 34. The close was at 4-903-S Receipts were 671 cars, with 373 of contract grade.
 Sentiment in the oats pit was bear ish at the opening because of excellent weather conditions but later became firm on reports of damage to the grow ing crop made in the Iowa and Ohio state reports. July opened shade to 34 1-2 and closed at 34 1-4@ 9-S Re- ceipts 294 cars
 The agitation against packing meth ods was expected to depress prices in the provision market, but the decine was prevented by active support from local packers Shorts were taken by surprise at this unexpected strength and covered freely. Tn consequence the market was firm all day. At the close July pork was up F Pc at 1917 1-2. Lard was up 10c at S60. Ribs were 12 1-2c higher at 9.20.

THE STOCK MARKET
ADDED BREADTH OF THE MARKET
 IS EVIDENT.
Advances of the Day Before are Fed Out at the High Levels--Results of the Days Transactions
 Mixed.

New York, June 5.-The added breadth to the stock market caused by yesterdays accession of speculative ac- tivities was still inevidence today in the sustained volume of the trading compared with last weeks small daily average.
 The results of the larger operations were, however, somewhat mixed. It Is easy to see that some of the prin- cipal stocks in yesterdays market were being fed out to take profits on Tn the holding back of the price of these stocks while other stocks were advancing. As the conviction remain ed general that the market was in the hands of the professional operators. still the success of the profit taking seemed dependent on the transfer of holdings to new professional hands with the sole purpose of disposing of them at profit to net set of buy CTS.
 So long as confidence in the minds of the speculators is maintained this pro- for prolonged period without ex- tending beyond the ranks of profession al operators. 1t is a recognized fact that such professional movement as the preliminary of an extended rise in the market, the public refraining without exception from entering the market Tn the earlier stages of the advance. II Is the hope of an ultimate outcome or this sort with a public demand to car ry stocks out of the market which en- courages persistence In campaign Tn the full recognition of its professional limitations.
 The confidence of the present profess sional moves in the market is avowed- ly based on the prospect that money Is in course of accumulation III pdnh reserves, where its enforced idleness is likely to force 1t into stocks Tor em- ployment. In addition to news from the crops Is regarded as satisfactory and as warranting an assumption oi prosperous harvests in the event or conditions continuing as favorable as at present. Further large transfers of currency through the sub-treasury to New York also continued Tn iofcs and this is the principal factor relied on for the easing of the local money market The fact that the series or holidays in California expired on Mon- day and left commercial affairs Tree to resume their normal course, aaueo to the satisfaction caused by the Iurs ther relinquishment of accumuidleo funds from the Pacific coast.
 Foreign exchange also reacted rom yesterday, showing strength ana Gis- counts in London were lower. hv resulting rate at Paris, however, iei sharply and some demand for remit tance from here to Paris was the con sequence, making Paris exchansss strong Bearing in mlnd these sehet genera ai considerations for the present sPecu- lative attempt in the st9cs ni.s ma oifers little of special interests.
