Richmond Tobacco Market.
(Reported by E. K. Vletor & Co., Leaf To
bacco, Strips, Stems and Scraps.)
. Richmond, Va., July 15, 1907.
The market continues to be quiet
but firm. There is still some business
being done for export at unchanged
prices.
The hot weather which we have
been having for the last week or so
has moderated some and we have
had some showers. The plants in
the fields are doing well and are
bound to make a rapid growth during
this kind of weather. It is of course
too early yet to. say anything about
the quality or quantity of the new
crop, but so far the prospects are
fair.
The markets in South Carolina are
beginning to open for new primings,
.which are selling at very satisfactory
prices to the farmers.

NEW YORK MARKETS.
A Progressive Farmer Representative
Keeps Our Readers Posted as to
the Trend of Prices of All Farm
Products.
New York July 13, 1907.
Potatoes and. Vegetables. New po
tatoes nave come to market very
freely this week and at the close
there is a big supply left over. Quo
tations are hardly as well sustained
as they were last week, Southern
Rose being held at $1.50S) $1.75 per
barrel, and the same for Irish Cob
bler; red, $1.25 1.50. Onions have
been in good demand all the week
and Maryland and Virginia white,
per basket, are worth $1.75 2; red,
per barrel, $4; N. O., per crate, $1.50
1.75. Asparagus has shown some
falling off in supply and is woll held
at $2.25 2.75 per dozen bunches,
extra green, and $1.75 2.2 5 for
whit.e. Culls 75c. $1. Cabbage,
per crate, 60 75c latter for good
Baltimore. Supply is more than am
ple. Carrots $ 2 3 per barrel for
old and $1.25 1.50 per 100 bunches
for new. Cucumbers from North Caro
lina are dull, owing to abundant re
ceipts per barrel, $1.25 1.75; Nor
folk, $1.50 2. Corn, N. C, $12
per case, and dull. Fla. Egg plant,
per box, $1(5)2. Peas are plentiful
and work out at about 50c. up to
80c. for the finest. String bean3,
Norfolk, wax, 2 5c. $ 1 per basket;
green, 50c. $1; Del. and Md., per
basket, $l(g)1.25; squash, 50c.
$1.25 per barrel for yellow crook-
neck, and $11.75 for marrow. Tur
nips,. per 100 bunches, $1.2 5 1.75.
Tomatoes rather dull, and yet there
seems to be no very great abund
ance of desirable tock here. Fancy
Florida, per carrier, $2.50 3; com
mon, $11.50; N. C., $1 1.7 5 per
carrier. -
Fruits and; Melons. Southern ap
ples are coming in more freely and
really choice stock is worth $2 2.50
per box. Peaches firm and supplies
are quickly taken if the fruit is wor
thy. All arrivals so far are from
Georgia and the range is from $2,
through almost every ten-cent rise
to $3.50 for very desirable Elberta.
Plums and pears are hardly .worth
mentioning as so few are in tlie mar
ket. LeConte pears per barreil, $ 7
9. Burbank plums, $3 3.50 per
carrier. Cherries plenty and some
decline is shown. Per basket, 40
50c. Raspberries, red per quart,
69c; black caps, 68c. Huckle
berries, plenty and lower at 9 15c.
per quart. Gooseberries, N. C.
per quart, 10 12c. Muskmelons,
Southern per crate, $1.25 2.25.
Watermelons, plenty at $18 50 per
100.
Butter has been rather quiet. The
hot weather exerts an untoward in
fluence and off-grades work out at
17c. for factory. From this the rate
is to 20 c, and for extra creamery,
2 5 y2 2 6c. Western eggs, 1 5 17c,
and Southern 14 15c The supply
in storage here is said to be enor
mous. Wheat and other grains show a
weaker turn and some decline has
set in qwing of course to more
favorable growing conditions. Sep
tember wheat closes at $1.00
against 8 4 c. same time last year i
corn, in sympathy with wheat has
also declined and at th'e close Sep
tember is worth 634 c. against
59 c. same time -last year. Oats
steady at - 52 54 c. for 38-40
pounds. F. J. R.
Good Roads and Insurance. S
These are two of the things J in
which the -rural letter carriers at
their State Association showed con
siderable interest. ' A Durham dis
patch says that when the eastbound
train came in a tall, slender gentle
man, Mr. E. D. Pearsall, of Rocky
Mount, bore a couple of small pine
trees on his shoulder. There was
also a motto inscribed upon a large
piece of paste-board bearing the
words, "R. L. C. Association, Dur
ham, July 3rd and 4th. Your sal
ary is 'riz,' boys. Next thing oh the
docket is good roads. Don't forget
it." On the other side were inscribed
these words: "Pender County
Greeting! N. C. R. L. C. A. Sea
board to mountains. Good roads.''
This motto seemed to cause a good
deal of fun for these boys, who Were
all of one accord that eood roads was
the thing.
Next to . the good roads feature
there comes the insurance plan' of
both the National and State Associa
tions. This seems to be a great fea
ture among the rural men, and when
we come to think that this body
through the United States numbers
nearly 40,000, we can easily see what
a big feature it is. This plan of in
surance comprises three things; life,
sick and horse insurance. M
- The insurance organization calls
for many features among the rural
carriers. In case of death the family
of each carrier is paid $1,000, and
in case of accident or illness, five
dollars per week. 7 ;
