Receipts of Host at Packing Houses Heavier Than in October Jjst Yar North Carolina Corn Better Quality. (Special Star Corespondence) Raleigh, Nov. 16. Quotations shqw a decline of about f 25 per bale on cott Hon during the month of October. How fever, sales have been few, as producers have refused to sacrifice their cotton !fat prices that appear unwarranted. Mills in the state have bought very sparingly during the month and their itocks are undoubtedly much lower then is usually the case at this season f the year. This indicates that there 'will be more than ordinary demand (from thjs source later in the season. The demand for low grades has shown considerable improvement dur ing the month but it has been at the expense of the better grades. As is us ually the case, grades that are being itoffered freely by producers are selling tat a relative discount. The decline, especially during the atter part of the month, seems to be )due to speculative maipulation. Pres- ure of actual cotton is not the cause f the most recent declines as shown Ihv tha f a ft that snots and nftarhv nn. I lions are higher than deferred options although it costs about l-4c per pound a month to carry cotton. Speculators appear to find the in epfration for their destructive attacks yupoji prices in the belief that domestic and English spinners j will be able to I exert sufficient political pressure upon i declaration of peace, as will the pre vent the central powers from purchas ing cotton on an equality and in com petition with themselves, and allow (them to accumulate large stocks at Relatively low prices. The face that President. Wilson's principles express ly forbid the use of such tactics is overlooked. . Carolina Potatoes and Apples. "Western North Carolina Irish pota- fto growers who waited to October to sell their potatoes, in the main were fleonfronted with lower prices than those prevailing during September. Tne fOctober fall in prices has been due to !Iheavy shipments from Mineota, Wi sconsin, Michigan and other big potato Btates. Owing to the fact that West ern North Carolina has a relatively light crop and that we have open peri ods of weather in winter when the big .potato states cannot ship on account of severe weather it does not seem pro able that growers will this fall and winter and next spring be confronted with as low potato prices as they were last season. However, all who can get good prices now are advised to sell rather than take risks of holding. In seasons like this and last, when the general potato crop is large, the logi cal time for the average grower to feell is early in the fall just after the southern markets have cleaned up the early crop of potatoes and just before the late crop of potatoes starts moving r Western Apples. ' . marks the end of the bulk apple ship ping season in Western North Carolina, though, of course, some care are still being shipped and will beshipped to a ( certain extent v eil into November. The ! movement of bulk apples has been us ually heavy due to a good sized crop "Sone which far exceeded early esti l mates the liow grade of much of the fruit due tov lack of proper orchard care, and the high ; rice of barrels. The movement off barreled aples has been yjght. owing to the fact that only a cient care to justify grading from 40c to 75c. with an average around 60c per bushel delivered at the car door at (nearest loading station. No. 1 Barrel ed 'apples have brought growers from 53.50 to $7 per barrel f. o. b. shiping point, the ran.ge in price being due to difference in varieties. No. 2 apples ttiave brought about $1. per barrel less than No. 1. North Carolina Hog-. Hog receipts at packing centers -"were considerably heavier than during October 1917, but not equal to October receipts two years ago. Receipts at eleven markets for 1918 to date. Oct. 31st. 24,493.000. Same period 1917, 20,- 882,000. Same period 1916, 24,589,000. IPrices ranging considerably lower than during September, there being a grad-. tial decline until the last few days of the month, when there was a reaction due to announcement by the food ad ministration of a fixed daily average minimum for November of about 517.50 per cwt. The demand has been strong. On the Baltimore market. medium I weights. 160-200 lbs. and heavies, 200- . or i-u n 1 .3 : T ii. ai lua. auiu. mallei 111a.11 diner classes.

High est daily average $19.15. Lowest daily average $15.85. Average price for Sept. $19.65. Average price for October J917 approximately $17.12. Grain, Street Potatoes and Esrcs. Corn decline on the Chicago market -Trom an average price of $1.65 1-4 and 51.77 3-4 for No. 3 white in September to $1.38 1-2 and $1.47 7-8 for October. The fall in price in the middle of Oc tober was largely recovered by the end bf the month. The announcement of .the food administration on the Chicago -"board of trade that the grain corpora tion would be in the market In Novem ber and December for large amounts of spot corn caused the price to rise 10 to 11c per bushel in a few minutes and f had the effect of stabilizing the price curing tneiatter part of the month. This should prove an eye opener to all farmers in showing them what the government can do to stabilize- prices of all farm products and to prevent a clump during the time when they are celling despite all bearish influence to the contrary. The talk of peace has icome to have a favorable effect nnon prices because of the belief which has come to be current that the demand 1 for food products to feed Europe will (increase witn peace. The quality of thenew corn is much better than last year, due to its earlier maturity and to the dry fall. The average for North Carolina towns was $2. for October as compared to $2.06 forVSeptember. The i i .h lowest pricA $1.75 per 'bu. was report ed for Johnstcr and Graham counties end- the highest prices T2.50 'in Anson 4 and Franklin,' and .; f2.2?'m Moore and , jCtanly coo n ti es.

A British scout airplane recently roaming the skies in search of night raiders, perceived a German bombing machine, twisting and turning in the grip of several British searchlights. The British pilot dived to the at tack, and put in a strong burst of ma chine gun ftre. TJje German machine burst into flames and begun to ' flut ter earthwards, like a huge burning leaf. Suddenly, the British machine rocked in the concussion of a tremen dous explosion, and the German raider vanished in a blinding flash. One of its own powerful bombs had exploded, blowing it to pieces. I THE A TR ICAL The eternal Eve r has been raising hob with men's affections since the rattler started hi the fruit business in the Garden ( of 1 Eden,' One.- of the fair sex is generally .sufficient -to. make most any mere- male sit up and take notice. When thirty or forty of,' them bless 'em, romp out before the optics what wil happen? This query is sug gested by the advent of the Marcus Muscial Comedy company in "Oh Baby" at the Academy tomorrow and Tues day. There' are nearly a double score of ravishing beauties with this organiza tion. A. B. Marcus has spared neither time, pains, or money in asembling a congress of young women who are not only skilled in this art of Terpsic hore but whose personal pulchritude can not but assail the eye with smash ing force. Youth in all its grace is typified by the Marcus girls. Few of them have at tained their majority. Many are still of school age. To provide for their education and care two tutors and three chaperons, under whose super vision they are constantly, are perma nent members of the Marcus staff. The night prices will range from 50 cents to $1. The Wednesday matinee will be 50 cents for any seat on the lower floor and 25 cents for balcony seats. Tickets are now on sale at El vington's for Monday night's performance. Wilmington Picture Monday. The first big legitimate motion pic ture production to be made in and around Wilmington, the World Film picture, "The Grouch," made here last summer while Director Apfel and his cast of stars spent several weeks in Wilmington, has received its first pri vate showing in New York, and has created a sensation. It comes to the Grand first of all places in the United States for public view on Monday for one day only. "The Grouch" stars Montagu Love, who created such a. sensation by his delineation of "Rasputin," also in "The Cross Bearer," another studpendous production, one of the most ofrceful figures on the screen today, co-starred -with pretty Dorothy Green, from a story written by the noted novelist Forrest Halsey. It tells the story of Flueurette, a beautiful unsophisticated girl of the swamps unused to the ways of civilization. "The Grouch" desired to revenge his wife who di vorced him that she might marry a more wealthy man and who sent him to prison for another's crime. It tells of the way "The Grouch" meets Fleur ette, the beautiful French girl of the swamps, a direct descendant from a famous French beauty, who has been made prisoner by a pirate band of peo ple, It is a rapidly moving drama, crammed with action and surprising incidents. Every person ' in Wilmington will undoubtedly want to. see this picture, and see the wonderful scenic effects obtained over in Brunswick county around Town Creek, also out at Lake side Park, and. those who do not want to be disappointed should come early tomorrow. Toklo Girls at Royal. Irwin Hampton's Tokio Girls Musi cal Comedy company is the attraction billed for the Royal this' week and while it is a show that Wilmington has never heard about, it is neverthe less one of the biggest tabloid shows that is now touring the country. The reason it has never been heard of in this section is due to the fact that the organization has just come east after a very successful year on the big west ern circuits where it created a tre mendous sensation. The. Tokio Girls w;lll show many new and modern ideas In tabloid musical productions, -introducing some distinct ly new-features-that will prove a reve lation to Wilmington audiences. - Special and elaborate scenic equip ment, marvelously beautiful wardrobe of richness, and a dancing chorus that resembles the ensemble of a big Broadway show, in minature, are some of the features presented with this show, which will play the entire week, presenting all new musical,- comedy plays.
