from 81 to s14. and wrappers sold from

PRODUCE MARKET
KEEPS VERY STRONG,

notwithstanding the bad weather con-
ditions, business On Cary Street was ac-
tive yesterday. The receipts of country
produce and fruits were rather light,
hardly up to the demand, and the com
mission men and wholesalers had, very
little trouble in getting rid Of the stocks
in hand at outside figures quoted. How
ever. there was no advance In anything
except eggs, which, owing to Increased
demand and decreased receipts, went up
cent q dozen for crate lots.
The receipts Of poultry were con1para-
lively light yesterday, and ''56ide,nand
being quite active. the highest prices Of
tho week were easily maintained.

Selling Of Union Pacific the Most
Influential Factor Of
the Day.

nificant OF the decline OF Interest
Professional limits OF The narrowcst
description confined the trading. There
wax nothing discernlblc in tho market
to reflect developments In general con-
ditions
Tho material of tho days moagre
speculation largely dealt with conjec-
tural developments rather than with
actual occurrences. There was quite
elaborate argument expended on tho
probabilities OF success or defeat OF
the Aldrich currency measure in
Washington. Wall Street has set up
standard OF large Importance for
this measure In Its bearing on the
shared by bankers and others who re.
gard It strictly from the side OF It's
probable influence on tho money mar
kct The proceedings which nrc 10 be
resumed next Monday by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission into the
affairs of the Hartman railroads, Of
fcred another field for surmise. The
distinguished array OF names OF the
Witnesses to be examined at the hear
{ ing in itself gives Importance to the
inquiry In the eyes OF the financial!
world. There Is besides a lurking mp.
DrcHenslon that disclosures may be
made that Will add fresh fuel to tho
flames OF public hostility to corpora
tons
The selling OF Union Pacific was
again the most influential factor In
tho actual trading at the stock ex-
change. Profa ;..,rna' operators
claimed to detect evidence OF selling
for inside account CT that stock and
they took the boar side Of the ac-
count in consequences. The operations
for that account mostly concluded dur.
Ing the first hour OF the market A
partial recovery followed, and prices
drifted slugEishly for the greater part
OF tho day. but tbs closing tone was
easy. In the none" market, rates

Fire Last NIgat.
(Geldsboro Argus.)

(Geldsboro Argus.)
Our townsman Mr.. Jos. Edwards
suffered quite a severe financial loss
Sunday night by the burning of his
commodious brick sales stables on
John street. The fire occurred about
IL o'clock, but the origin is unknown.
1t is surmised, however, that as it
seems to have started midway of the
hay loft, it was due to the electric
wires. In the burding Mr.. Edwards
lost three horses, number of bug
gies and other vehicles and lots OF
feed stuff upon which there was no
insurance whatever, and on the
building itself, which is almost
complete wreck, there was but very
little insurance. There were four
horses in all burned, the fourth one
belonging to Mr.. Jos. Daniels, who
has a store just across the street
from the stables. The fire depart.
ment were promptly on the scene
and did heroic work in quelling the
flames.

MR.. MOORE'S CALL.

Elsewhere appears call by Mr..
C. C. Moore, president Of the South
ern Cotton Association. We would
especially urge farmers to read this
letter carefully and think well be-
fore deciding to treat the matter
with Indifference. The wave of
tightness in the money market,
which is just beginning to recede,
has exemplifed the effect of the
Cotton Association; there is no long
err any doubt as to the outcome Of
continued effort on the part Of pro-
ducers if accompanied by wise lead
ership. President Moore has shown
himself efficient in this respect, and
it only remains necessary for the
farmers to do their part. Let all &C
and attend to their best interests.
