Some More Old Books. •t .Mr. Ed'tor: ! Y.'e notice in the issue of The Times of February the itith an ac j count of some old books possess.d by I Mr. Lilaker, of No. 4 township. We I have several books still older than j those mentioned. We have one bear ing the date of 1809. This one was | written by Rev. Jakt* Fletcher. oX ling: j land and was a contemporary of John | ' "''slev. It has the name of George I '\fer written in the tly leaf. George j . infer was a brother of the late Caleb I‘hner. of Concord. We have another j not' so old, dated 1840. This is. a | dialogue between 'a Christian Jew and can unconverted Jew, and has the name i [.of * Martin Phifer written oh the fly leaf. He was the father of Caleb Phifer and the grand-fother of young Martin, who was born and reared in Concord, gud who dled'ih Ne\V Yoi*fe City while- tlier*e 6n ■'business, ' We have another, the title of whirli is ."Young Gentlbman and Lady Monitor or'English Teacher Assistant.” This is one of the greatest Jbooks in the world outside of the Biblo. This one has tlie bame of John Still written on the fly leaf, ami was written in the year 1817. And in a most elegant hand. We presume this was a great grand-father of ours, as one of our ! grand-mothers was a Still before mar riage. A few years ago we had the privi lege of handling a book more than 400 years old. It was made in Germany in the German language. It was dat ed in the year 1515. Martin Luther \ as living when the book was made, \Ve know t was a medical book from the many figures of medicinal plants 1 contained therein. At the time this | bttok was in possession of Mr. Henry Denny, of Concord. It is likely it is sjtill in his iioasession. if Venus ever had the privilege, of handling a book more than KM) years old we wish he would tell us of it. R. M FINK. Concord, N. C.. ltoute 3.

Little Trading Except For Prompt Deliveries. The yarn market remains dull, saye C. Singleton Green, secretary of the Southern Yarn Spinners' Association, in a statement issued Saturday, with buyers maintaining an indifferent at titude. The tilt between yarn man ufacturers and purchasers is continu ing unabated, the statement points out, with little trading except for promptly deliveries. _ The spinners are holding a rela tively strong position, as they are re ported to be well supplied with orders at satisfactory prices, and they are not seeking business, while prices re main at the present level, the bulle tin said. t The stable spof cotton price has had a depressing effect on the mar ket, the bulletin said. Should there be a strong advance in that market it wou’.A reflect and stimulate buying in the yarn market, the bulletin said. ‘ The yarn market remains dull with but little trading except a small de mand for prompty deliveries. It is evident that the small movement in cottbu prices is having a depressing effect on yarn trading. “Spinners are reported to be well supplied with orders at satisfacto figures for some time to. come and are n' t seeking business at «tbe pres ent level of prices. Dealers’ pricer in some markets have been reduce' - from one-half tb one cent per pound on a few numbers of carded yarns This reduction, however, affects on"' second-’liand goods and does no: in diente that spinners are willing tr accept such figures Reports show that spinners' sales are in eveess of their production and that there is no accumulation of stcoks. "Based on New York spots at 20.50. the manufacturing margin of twelve sii.g’e skiens is 7.60; on 20" s two-ply warps, 12.76. and on 30's single hosiery cones, 13.1'0 cents. These figures barely represent re placement values. We believe that u strong advance in the cotton market, will stimulate buying. With the prac tically stable prices of spots, ’■uyers are apat'Jetic.” Loral Dry Aleuts Still Have Jobs. So far as is known now. local dry agents have not been affected by the recent orders directing tlie dismissal of a number of prohibition agents in this district.

"we found it difficult to wait on the trade, despite the net that we had the usual extra Saturday olerka.” Another store manager made no at tempt to conceal his opitimism when asked about Saturday’s business. “It was excellent,” he said, ‘land on store was crowded during the day.” The ninnager of another store, one cf the largest in the city' said hik e’erks were busy during the entire day | and that shoppers apparently had plenty of money for necessities. Other business men were inter viewed and in every ease they report ed good business for t'ac week-end. The full time operations of the cot- i ton mills in the city nnd county ,is J the cause given by the merchants for , the improvement in business. ‘‘An : 1 parrntly the textile workers have \ caught up with debts necessitated dur- i i ing the curtailed period of the sum- 1 I mer and fall,” one merchant explain- ! | nil, "and ".ley have ensh now for seas- i 1 unable goods as well as for groceries imd other necessities. While there were many farm people in our store Saturday, the bulk of the shoppers was mada up of mill operatives, who bought generously of seasonable goods."
