Banana Dealers Fear - For Crop
" Norfolk Vlglnla Pilot August 16th.
' There has been some concern among
;, Norfolk banana dealers regarding the
reports of the great - storm damage to
plantations of Jamaica, which country
f ural.hes a large percentage of thR fruit
- shipped to the United States. ' Although
the loss Is not so extensive aa was first
reported,., at the same time wholesale
; dealers are ffce to admit that there is a
' strong probability of tne Importations
" falling off to a very appeclable degree as
a result of the recent ' hnrrloane. The
" receipts have been very heavy at the
4 leading ports of entry In ihe past two
weeks, so there Is a Sufficient supply on
hand to offset the Jamaica . losses, for
several dsjs at least. After that, It Is
Deueven mat tne prices wui advance.
However great the Jamaloa damage,
there Is no danger of a banana famine
' for tne reason that American Importers
hare other sources from which to draw
'supplies. '''.: "

The New Bern Reserves Have Eqripmenl
and Training for Any Emer
' ' fency. .
The New Bern Division Naval Re
serves have season to be very proud of
their equipment which will rank with
any of its kind in the country. The
United Stages Government In order to
strengthen all means of defence fur
nishes gratis all such organizations with
the best arms that can he procured. The
gun came from the Ordinance depart
ment of the Navy.
Friday they received a Colt rapid fire
gun, mounted on wheels. The gun Is a
formidable looking weapon and In the
caro of trained marksmen can wipe out
a regiment in short Srder. The gun has
a range of 1800 yards and shoots 480
times a minute. The barrel is good for
9,000 rounds of ammunition, or 4,820,000
shots.
The reserves have two other rapid fire
guns, a brass howitzer and a Hotchktss
gun. In addition to this they will re
ceive within a few days thirty new colt
revolvers, 200 Lee rifles, of new nary
pattern, with 80,000 rounds of ammuni
tion for the same, and a one pounder
Hotchklss guns. '
They will have three thirty feet cut
ters for cruising with all appurtenances
thereto. They will also have all the In
struments necessary for the purpose of
obtaining reliable Information of the
navigable water ways and the shores
urronndlng them for the use of the
navy department
A company of naval reserves with
fifty members has recently been organ,
izedat Beaufort with Lieut. Dowdee
commanding officer. They have an
equipment similar to the New Bern di
vision. There Is also well drilled divis
ions at Wilmington and Windsor. .
The armory of the New Bern division
is the best In the State, itii large and
supplied with a good gymnasium the use
of which is general and It Is a great help
to them In this line of work. Their
training under the careful and exper
lenced supervision of Lieut Command
ing Bradham has made them sure marks
men and competent to cope with any
foe.
A B. Baxter's Cotton Letter.
New York. Aug.. 17. Liverpool made
a poor showing when we opened. The
weather m wa was quite' moderate, little
rain fell on the whole, either yesterday
or today, but reports were arriving that
the outlook was not good in many sec
tions because of incessant rains. On the
other hand some sections reported a de
cided Improvement on the crop pros
pects. Tomorrow's buread report for
the week may afford a better basis for
operating in the market Opinion to
mixed as to what It will probably show.
We hear little of new cotton being
moved, ana uniu sucn is tne case no
body cares to sell ' Even then it la a
question to what extent the people ' will
keep short of the market with the pos
sibility of an early killing frost. Weak
ness in stocks was against cotton and
the fact that the hurricane In the Gulf
failed to appear In Texas also led to
little selling for short account Receipts
were rather better. Ports were 600
against s,uw last year. There are no
signs of Texas moving much new cotton
this month. , A B Baxter & Go.
