which was distinctly related to the trans
actions on the stock exchange.
The market, q matter of fact, appar

by the evidences Of aggressive buying of

Preston looted the city
thoroughly and the Spaniards
returned to find him safely

he marched out unmolested,

Corn in Stanly County.

Some three or four years ago a
local firm was selling each year upon
the local market between forty and
fifty thousands bushels Of shipped
corn. Two weeks ago the same firm
advertised through these columns for
1000 bushels of corn. Treble this
amount was brought in by the farm
ers from every direction. The Incl
dent brings to light the fact that but
little shipped corn is now sold upon
the local market, and that our farm
ers have been frugal in keeping their
