this season. Sales were made for Bur
gaw farmers in New York yesterday,
he said, at from thirty to thirty-five
cents per quart.
Large shipments of berries were also
reported yesterday from Rocky Point,
Mount Olive and as far north as
Warsaw. ' "
North Carolina berries were quoted
in Boston yesterday at from 17 to 30
cents per quart ; in Philadelphia from
20 to 25 cents per quart. North Caro
lina lettuce was sold in Philadelphia
yesterday at from $3 to $1 per barrel;
in New York at $3 to $5 per barrel ; in
Baltimore at $4 to $4.50 per barrel.
There is general complaint in the
Northern markets that a very large
proportion of the North Carolina ber
ries are shipped too green. This gives
the Charleston and Florida berries an
advantage, which our shippers should
meet promptly.
Berries were sold on the local mar
ket yesterday as low as fifteen cents
per quart.

SQUARE BALES AND ROUND BALES.
Messrs. Sprunt Willing to Put Their Claim
For the Square Bale to the Test.
vTo the Editor of The News and
Courier Out attention has been
drawn to-day, for the first time, to
Mr. Searles's letter in your paper,
dated New York, April 15. "The state
ment made by us, to which he refers,
was written to one of our correspon
dents, or agents, and was not intended
for. publications We do not desire a
newspaper controversy as to the com
parative merits of the so-called round
bale, and the standard 24x54 square, or
rectangular bale. Since we have been
quoted publicly, however, we wish you
to state that pur information cam
from a cotton merchant of the highest
character in Liverpool, Mr. John Mil
ligan. No 7 Rumford street, that the
cylindrical bale had been sold over the
counter in Liverpool at less price than
the standard square bale, 24x54.
We may add that we have since re
ceived information from several Con
tinental correspondents to the same
effect with reference to Bremen sales.
W know nothing of the terms under
which these sales were executed; we
simply made the statement as it came
to us from responsible people.
As to our claim that we can put
more weight of the compressed stand
ard square bale, 24x54, into a ship to
the net ton register than it is possible
to put in round bales, we are willing
to test it in our next steamer for Liver
pool by measured space and to afford
the contestants every facility for fan
play. Yours respectfully,
Alexander Sprtjnt & Son.
