I see on the floor as buyers Capt. E. J. Parrish, of Durham, E. D. ' Christian, of New York, J. E. Mc Ghee, of Clarksville, Va., W. R. Watson, of Warren ton, Dr. J. S. Meadows, of Louisburg, and Charles Wa'kins, of Richmond, Va. It is probable there are other markets represented by gentlemen whose names I did not get. That this is a success is seen from the fact that it enables a dealer in leaf to deposit his tobacco in this warehouse, and then he can at once use his receipts from the warehouse as seeurity for money upon which he can continue his operatirn. It may be other large tobacco mar kets will not teel any decided interest in this new departure of the tobacco trade in North Carolina, but all the same the bull will continue to rove. Capt. Parrish remarked today that these warehouses were a neces sity to every tobacco market, and that Durham would soon have one, and then will follow Oxford and in fact every other tobacco town in the State. - Buy the Excelsior Cook Stove.

It is admitted at last that all the corn crop of Central Kansas is ruined. No matter how much rain falls, hot winds have blown for three days and stalks are shriveled. Only" local rains have fallen for over a month, and the prairies are sodry that fires break out daily. The hay crop is an entire fail ure as well as the fruit crop. A large acreage of wheat will be put in if it rains enough tp plough. Stock is being rushed to market in fear of lack of food. The drought is considered the most se vere in twele years, and there is no sign of its being broken. , r ( Commissioner of Agriculture Rob inson writes, says the Wilmington Star, that after having travelled over the great portion of the cotton producing section of the State, he has never seen a better prospect for a good corp, and the same is truej also of tobacco, anoth er "money" crop. In consequence of this cheerful outlook the farmers are ." hopeful "and in I good spirits. In ad dition to this he says that the crops, as fair as they promise, have cost less to produce than 111 any previous year, attributable not alone to the favorable seasons,but.alsp to;the unusual economy practiced by the farmers. iAVith no mishaps between now and harvest time he is of opinion that our , farmers will have more money at the close of the present year thar at any time in the past ten years. - , Rubber Belting and Packing at J.
