CANNED SALMON
CONDITION. FIRM
Report Made on Fall Out
look-Pur1hdsing Pow
er Is Increasing

A somewhat mixed picture of the
Fall outlook for canned salmon
prices with most factors indicating
firm condition is shown by a re-
port Just issued TO the salmon in
dustry by the j. Walter Thompson
Company, the industry's advertising
agency e gt
The report is a supplement to an
earlier release which pointed out that
wholesale prices of canned salmon
are primarily determined by five
factors: the available supply of cam
ned salmon, the general business
activity of the country, consumer
incomes, wholesale meat prices, and
wholesale prices of all foods. The
earlier report demonstrated close
relationship of wholesale salmon
prices with these other factors over
a long period of years.
Possible Supply
The current report tentatively sets
the possible supply of American
canned salmon for the coming year
at a top figure of eight million
cases of all varieties, pointing out
that this is a generous estimate. and
that the actual supply may be under
this figure.
The general business prospect for
the coming months is presented as
favorable, but not spectacular The
report uuots from large number Of
business analysts A quotation from
a leading financial service summar-
ICES this viewpoint: THE business
outlook suggests further improve
ment over the near future. AT the
same time no sustained period of
vigorous business expansion appears
at all likely and recurrence of for
eign disturbance to our markets is
not improbable.
Purchasing Power Increases
Reports from government sources
indicate that consumer purchasing
power has been increasing during
recent months.
Prices of competitive foods, which
have been at low level, are not
expected to rise during the coming
months except on a few ocmmodi-
ties, according to the U. S. Bureau
of Agricultural Economics.
Market supplies of hogs and poul-
try are expected to be larger during
the coming months, but market sup
plies of cattle and lambs are ex-
pected to be smaller.
Prospects
Gamers and distributors stocks
of canned goods other than salmon
are somewhat, higher than a year
ago, but acreage this year on many
vegetables is reduced from last year
and the total supply of several can
ned vegetables this Fall will prob
ably be less than year ago.
The pack of canned tuna in Cali
fornia during the first five months
of 1899 totaled 100000 cases. an
increase of 81 percent over the same
period of 1888. In the same period
the mackerel pack in California
amounted to 100000 cases, % per-
cent less than last year.

For He hath founded it upon the

! tongue from evil, and his lips that

Further he said: "If we suffer for
! righteorG' sake, happy are ye;
and be not afraid of their terror,
neither be troubled:
For it is better, if the will of God
be SO, that We suffer for we'll doing,
than for evil doing"
Peter wrote this letter to his
friends in Asia Minor, for they were
being prosecuted for their belief, and
he wanted to encourage and cheer
them. He too was constantly in dan
ger, as you remember in last week s
lesson, and was in prison, but was
liberated by an angel.
1t really does bring blessing, as
Peter says, if you live ''as brethren"
in, harmony, loving each other, re-

those with whom we come in con-

successful if we go about saying

called the Golden Gossip" because
she talked about people, but said on

idea that she might help people. We
all can be golden gossips," can we
not? And how much happier we will
be if we are that kind rather than
the mischievous type who go about
saying hateful things.
1t is nearly 1000 years since Peter
and the other disciples preached, but
what Peter said still holds true. You
may be prosecuted, or misunder-

Only Election
Bill Enacted
Boosts Votes
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY HENRY. AVERELL

Raleigh, March 17-As the Senate
Elections Law Committee proceeds
at pace which may, if stepped up
a bit, keep the snails from Whizzing
past, it is the subject of consider
able comment that the only election
reform" measure so far enacted at
this session was confessedly and
frankly designed to enable poll hold
ers to count more Democratic votes.
Reference is made to the "Split
Ticket" act which has been approx
ed by both House and Senate It was
supported on the grounds that it will
add some thousands perhaps as
many as 10000, in some instances
to the Democratic vote.
Here's what it does In the past a
voter who marked in the party circle
on his ticket and then put the little
(x) opposite the name of any can
didate Of another party thereby in
validated his ballot as to all candi-
dates on it except those opposite
whose names he put the (x). Under
the law as changed at this session
election officials will count such bal
lots for all candidates in the party
columns except those for whose OPP
ponents the voter has marked the
(x).
There isn't any denial anywhere
that this will add votes to Demo-
cratic candidates.
So that's already, a law while all
other reforms demanded by an out
ragged populace are somewhat be-
tween Introduction and the waste
basket.
The Senate's' subcommittee from
the full election law committee has
two ''mountaiheersp and Willie Lee
Lumpkin on it, and poor Willie Lee
has been clamoring in vain for &C
ton which he can't get.
One member of the full commit
tee, who asked not to be named, ex-
press it: w.
eff the wrath of God is as slow as
that subcommittee majority, then
we're all safe for a. long, long time"

Tobacco Damaged
By Rain and Cold
Weather In State

College Station, Raleigh, March II.
Rain and cold weather is severely
damaging plant beds and other farm
ing operations in Eastern North Caro-
lima, it was reported today by John
w. Goodman, assistant director of
the State College Extension Service.
Basing his statement on reports
from county farm agents of the Ex-
tension Service, Goodman said that
wet weather damage is apparently
being mistaken for infestatiOn of blue
mold in tobacco plant beds in several
sections.
L. G. Mathis, Craven county agent,
says: Several reports that blue mold
is prevalent in the county have
reached this office However, we be-
lieve that the damage is due to ex-
cessive rain rather than blue mold.
At present it looks like practically
all Irish potatoes will have to
be replanted before a stand is OBJ
tanned"
B. F. SWicegood, Lenoir county
agent, reports that water has serious
ly damaged tobacco beds in his Sec
ton. plants are beginning to turn
yellow in some beds. Farmers in the
Moss Hill section of Trent township
are using straw on 80 per cent of
their beds this season and the plants
in this straw beds have a little bet
ter color than others. However, grass
and weeds seem to be worse in the
straw beds,'' he said.
Other agents who reported tobacco
beds damaged by the weather are A.
S. Knowles in Hoke, E. S. Millsaps
in Randolph, J. P. Woodward in Mar
tin. Hugh Overstreet in Onslow, and
F: F. Hendrix in Jones.
r. r. Rich, Fender county agent,
says rs per cent of the lettuce in the
field has been drowned out. L. w.
Anderson, the Perquimans agent
states that snow and rain have pre-
vented the planting of May peas and
potatoes. c. S. Mintz, of Wayne, re-
ports that not more than half of the
Irish potato acreage has been plant
ed in the Mt. Olive area, and some
farmers. say. that their seed potatoes
are rotting.

was understood today to have re-

merely an invitation for Poland to
come to some arrangement with Ger
many over the free city of Danzig
and the Polish corridor. The answer
given him was not disclosed imme-

phasized that in the private view
in even of German action against
Danzig or the Polish corridor, if re-
sisted by Poland in defense of her
independence, meant Britain would
