FINE CROP PROSPECTS
IN EASTERN CAROLINA
Especial TO The News and Observer

New Bern, Aug. 1.-THE present
condition Of the crops In this sec
tlon IS very encouraging and unless
some Unexpected change in the sea-
some money for the work during the
past few months. In driving out
Eom New Bern down oward Pamli-
co county, one sees verdant fields of
corn and cotton on every hand and
TINS seems to be in the best Of con-
dtlon. In this section, especially.
the cotton acreage has been decreased
a great deal from that of last season.
This condition is to be found more
or less over the entire section. But
what has been lost in quantity will
be made up for in quality. One
craven county farmer escorted the
writer over his farm, showing him
the excellent condition Of the corn
and cotton and other farm products
and the latter has never been more
favorably impressed.
From present indications one Is
led to believe that the price OF the
feecy staple Will go to Is cents. II
SUCH occurs or even at a price a few
points less than this. the farmers
will realize a profit on their crops.
The only thing that is worrying the
growers here is the probability that
when h cotton picking season ar
rives they will noe be able to secure
sufficient help to get their cotton out
Of the fields.
This condition occurred last season
z the farmers were greatly incon-
venienced and also lost much money
on this account. There are hun
dreds of idle negroes all over the
alton will not induce them TO work
when they do not want TO. However,
it Is to be hoped that this condition
will not exist this season.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.

New York. Aug. 16.-Cotton a
recently declined sharply as to arrest
general attention in the business
world Of this country. h sensa-
tional fall OF prices was primarily due
to one thing, the breaking OF the
drought. This has led many to the
conviction that the crop is going to
be one of the largest ever raised. The
big rains which have recently proved
so beneficial over the larger part OF
Texas and tho improved condition
elsewhere in the Southwest as well as
east of the Mississippi river have en-
couraged many to believe that the
record price OF la season will slim
ulate the farmers to a yield that will
exceed $4,000, O00 bales. The South,

have had to give way following fu-
lures however, reluctantly as buyers

enough to attract attention.
