COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES.
Ellison's figures make the new cot
ton crop 7.300,000 bales.
The cotton pickers' strike was not
inaugurated yesterday, it seems.
Nobody in Wilmington seems to
be very eager to buy cotton if we may
judge from the figures.
The New York futures market
yesterday closed at an advance ol 2 to
4 points on Friday's closing figures.
If Wilmington wishes to make
good her claim to being one of the best
cotton markets in the South she will
have to revise her quotations.
Wilmington cotton receipts yes
terday 862 bales. Same day last year
1,166 bales. Price for middling yester
day 1. Same day last year 9g.
The Boston Advertiser declares
that even if the price of cotton should
fail to advance with that of other farm
products, it is believed that the South
ern farmers will find themselves in a
more prosperous condition at the end of
the present season than for many years
past.
The Savannah News says: Evi
dently the government reports did not
estimate the damage to the crop by rains,
drought and other causes at anything
like the reports received generally by
the cotton exchange. There is certain
ly no danger of the country producing
another seven million-and-a-half crop
this year and the estimate that the crop
of '91 will closely approximate that of
'89 is doubtless a fair one.
Henry Clews, in their special cir
cular dated Sept. 12th, says : The re
ports of damage from worms to the cot
ton crop have undoubtedly been grossly
magnified; for that kind of injury is now
so largely under immediate control by
the planter that j it is no longer the
source of danger it once was. Besides,
even supposing that a loss of a quarter
million of bales were to arise from this
cause, it is more likely, in view of the
present large stocks, that it would in
crease the total value of the crop than
that it would diminish it.
The N. Y. Bulletin says: "It is
noticeable that in comparing official
statements of last year with the present
season, the deterioration from the high
est plane to date is just about the same,
or sav 6 points, and that in 1890 the
J Bureau dropped from 95.5 in September
to 80.00 in October. The present run ot
crop news is generally cheerful and im
proving it anything, with the feeling that
serious danger has parsed up to the
frost period, while the swelling run of
receipts indicates that the marketing of
the crop is commencing with greater
freedom

BRICK PAVEMENT8-
The Durability of Briok Pavements A
Treatise by an Eminent Civil Engineer
Something of Beal Interest to the
People of Wilmington.
A very interesting pamphlet on the
durability of brick pavements, by Prof.
Ira Baker, has been received at the
Star office. The following synopsis of
a portion of the treatise will be read
with interest:
The writer is professor of civil engin
eering in the University of Illinois. He
calls attention to the fact that brick has
been exclusively used in pavements for
the smaller cities of the Mississippi
valley. Its use is growing elsewhere.
Thf onnA dualities rf hriMr oro mtiA.
rafly recognized. Bricks make practical
ly a noiseless pavement; they nt so
closely that there are no inter-spaces to
retain filth and breed disease; a brick
pavement is easily cleaned ; itv is easily,
repaired ; bricks can be made of any
size and shape for gutters, slopes, etc.,
without much, if any, additional cost ;
brick pavements are smooth, and reduce
the tractive power and wear and tear of
vehicles almost to a minimum. Bricks
do not polish under wear, and hence
afford a good foothold to horses; they
are not affected appreciably by mois
ture, frost or fire. The first cost of a
brick pavement is less than any good
pavement, hence on the score of health,
comfort and cost brick pavements have
much to commend them. The only de
batable question has been that of econ
omy or cost of maintenance. In twenty
cities of this country which have a pop
ulation of 100,000 each, the pavements
represent an investment of $250,
000,000 a trifle over $40 per capita
for the inhabitants. Brick has been
too recently employed as pavement
to judge accurately of its durability.
From the tests to which Professor
Baker, has submitted the brick of Illin
ois, however, it seems to have good
prospect of being used as a cheap and
durable pavement. For two years Pro
fessor Baker has experimented upon
brick, having tested the brick in actual
service in pavement. He reports that the
result in every as extremely way satis
factory. Professor Baker experiments
upon bricks in order to develop their
transverse strength, absorptive power
and crushing strength. The average
cart load which passes over brick pave
ments is 1,000 pounds to the square inch.
The power to crush a brick i3 10,000
pounds to the square inch. The best
quality in paving material is its resis
tance to abrasion and impact. Profes
sor Baker shows that a brick loses less
in this kind of wear and tear than gran
ite. Paving brick, Professor Baker says,
should consist of the best quality of
sound, hard-burned brick, made
and burned especially for street
paving purposes and shall stand
reasonable tests as to durability and fit
ness. Brick should be square-edged
and straight, free from cracks and other
defects, of uniform, size and of a quality
to be approved by the authorities. The
principal danger, Professor Baker
thinks, in using brick, is that home
made brick and local influence some
times come in to unduly influence
the letting out of contracts. Due re
gard must be had to the quality of
brick, as it is bad business policy to
allow the public to delude itself as to
the service of brick. The clay in the
brick should contain no limestone, for
when burned this is turned to caustic
lime, and with water this lime slakes
and disintegrates the brick. There
should not be lime enough in the
brick to cause cracks when soaked
in
water five or ten days. Jfrotessor
Baker has seen' brick which has been
used as pavement thirty-nine months.
and says that the only effect has been to
wear off the cornersand edges. It takes
15,250 tons per foot of width to cause
the loss of 1 per cent, of brick.
Brick can be burned too hard. They
should not be too thoroughly vitrilized,
for they become brittle and unfit for
use. The chief wear upon brick is from
wheels, horses' feet and the effect of
frost. In thirty-nine months a daily
traffic of fifty-three tons wore off 1 per
cent, of brick pavement, buch a pave
ment ought to last fifty years at that
rate. In a series of experiments at St.
Louis, showing the artificial tonnage per
foot of width required to wea-1 per
cent, from the several materials, brick
and Belgian block seem to divide the
honors one probably is as good as the
other. Putting brick durability at 50,
000 tons, asphaltum shows the same
wear under 16,000 tons, wood blocks un
der 13,000 tons, limestone under 5,000
and macadam under 13 tons.
Professor Baker's work is an impor
tant investigation in a new direction and
should be widely read.
Sent to Jail.
The negro man Elisha Brown alias
"Goss," who was arrested by detective
Hunt Thursday charged with stealing
a box of pocket knives from the hard
ware store of Messrs. W. E. Springer &
Co., had a hearing before Justice R. H.
Bunting yesterday morning and not
being able to furnish $100 bond for his
appearance at the Criminal Court was
sent to jail.
A BRIGHTER PROSPECT.
The Outlook Favorable Bnsinees Men
" Speak More Hopefully Money Will
Soon be Ussier in the South.
The Savannah News is another paper
that gives no encouragement to croak
ers. It speaks thus hopefully of the
business prospect:
There is a much better feeling in
business circles than there was a week
or two ago. And this feeling is becom
ing more apparent every day. Indeed,
the outlook throughout the country for
a healthy revival in trade, and in enter
prises of one kind nd another, is ex
tremely encouraging. Business men
speak more hopefully of the future, and
make contracts with greater confidence.
They act as it they felt that a period ot
great business prosperity was at hand.
And there are good reasons for this
condition of affairs. In the West
an extraordinarily large wheat crop
has just been harvested, and ow
ing to crop failures in Russia, good
prices are being obtained lor it.
In the South the cotton crop will be a
good one, notwithstanding the damage
it has suffered in localities, and the pros
pect is that it will command better prices
as the season advances. There has been
an advance of a cent a pound in cotton
since the opening of the season, and a
still further advance in the very near
future is probable. It is true .that there
was a little lalling off in the price yester
day, owing to the favorable report of
the condition of the crop sent out by
the agricultural department, but the
market, it is safe to say, will soon regain
its firmness.
All of these things help to make those
who are engaged in business bolder in
their undertakings, and cause the strong
boxes in which money has been hoarded
to be unlocked. Money is now abund
ant in New York and it will soon be
much easier to get in all the other cities
and towns of the country. With plenty
of money in circulation, there will be
unusual activity in trade and in the
promotion of industrial enterprises.
In this immediate locality the gener
al sentiment seems to be that the pres
ent season will be a prosperous one. The
rice crop promises to be larger, and
the indications are that it will be har
vested in excellent condition. Cotton
is a little backward, but the receipts will
soon be enormous, and will put a good
deal of money into circulation. Both
the wholesale and the retail merchants
recognize a .marked improvement in
trade, and are anticipating a very pros
perous season.
And in the mterrior towns a better
condition of affairs is noticeable. The
merchants feel that money is circulating
much more freely, and consequently
they are encouraged to be more liberal
in their purchases. What has been
needed for months more than anything
else is confidence,and now that seems to
be in a fair way of being fully restored.
With confidence will come money, and
with money unusual activity in all de
partments of business and industry.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Report of the North. Carolina Experiment
Station Deoidedly Unfavorable as to
Condition of Cotton. .
The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
by the North Carolina Experiment
Station and State Weather Service, for
the week ending Friday, September
11th, show a still further decrease in the
percentage condition of the staple crops,
although the jweather has not been de
cidedly unfavorable during the past
week. Very little rain has fallen, which
was favorable for all kinds of farm work,
The first part of the week was slightly
above the normal in temperature, the
latter part decidedly below the average
with unfavorable effect on cotton and
tobacco, which both deteriorated since
last report. The condition of cotton is
probable as low as it has been at any
time this season. Shedding continues
and rust is doing considerable damage,
opening very slowly and picking as yet
only going on at a few places. A cor
respondent at Dunn, Harnett county,
reports first new bale, sold on Septem
ber 8th; cotton is in the best
condition in the Southern portion
of the Central District, in Union.
Richmond, Harnett and perhaps a few
other counties where its condition is re
ported as high as 96 per cent. An early
frost would inflict serious injury to the
cotton crop. Tobacco has been consid
erably damaged by previous rains and is
not curing so well. Curings will be light.
In many counties the crop is reported
poor. The corn corn crop has been the
stand-by of the farmers this year. Seed
ing of oats and wheat is in progress.
The prospects are for more rain the
early part of the week, becoming slight
ly warmer. The present condition of
crops is as follows.
Eastern District Cotton 67; corn SO;
tobacco 78.
Central Disctrict Cotton 77; corn 91;
tobacco 81.
Western District Cotton 72; corn 90;
tobacco 80.
For the State Cotton 72; corn 87;
tobacco 80.
The Gulf Cyolonio Disturbance.
The entire country east of the Mis
sissippi had for the past week prior to
Friday last, been blest with what in
meteorological parlance is termed anti
cyclonic conditions, to wit: pleasantly
cool and dry weather and pressure
above normal. This condition usually
precedes cyclonic disturbances, or in
other words might be termed "a weather
breeder." The high pressure of 30.4
shown on the weather charts as moving
slowly across the country, was on Fri
day central in the Middle Atlantic
States, from which it began a rapid re
treat towards the northeast.
This movement allowed the approach
of warm and humid air from the Gulf,
whose moisture was precipitated in
heavy rains on the South Atlantic
coast. This rapid atmospheric move
ment also generated a cyclone disturb
ance in the Gulf, which the Weather
Bureau warned us night before last was
central near Pensacola. Yesterday's
advices show that the storm had not
generated to such an extent as to be of
danger to this coast, but the Weather
Bureau called for special observations
from coast stations with a view to issu
ing timely warnings if deemed necessary.
Up to time of our going to press the
worst effects here were driving rains
and blustering northeast winds.

The following endorsement is but one

"There may be better minstrels, bet

Barlow Brothers' company contributes,
but if so they have avoided San Fran

of the first part until the cfose there was
not one joke that was poor, nor a song
too old or indifferent to be encored riot
ously, not an ill-selected feature, and
not apparently a dissatisnea individual
in the audience that numbered nearly
3,000 people, Messrs. Barlow Brothers
cracked a few jokes in a manner second
to none and then sang their original to
pical sones which were very funny! Of
the other features much that
praiseworthy can be said., .JLarry Mo

fullv as much appreciated the solos of
Clarence Rummell, Lon Hudson and
Wallace Howard, and fairly went-wild

familiar tenor was heard in 'I have Re

marked favor in his grotesque frog act,
winning three encores. - Mr. Archie
Royer, Messrs. Thomson and Duclos
