The employes of the Chester & Lenoir Jiauroaa were paid oil on the linn Inst. Sent of ore the 15-h of each month hat been pay day, but President Harper has been paying off from four to six days ahead or time since he has taken charge. The business of the road continues to grow, and freight and passenger receipts are considerably ahead of the same time last year. The people appreciate the er forts of the new management to operate the road in the interest of the people, and are thro wine all the patronage pos sible to it. The rolling stock of t le road was badly ran down when surrendered by the Richmond & Danville crowd, and it is necesBary to improve what is on hand and increase the nam ber of cars, locomotives, etc., in order tj do the business. Major Harper informed your CDrres pondent that he contemplated the par chase of two new locomotives at an early day, and that he was considering the ad visability of adding a parlor car 1 1 the passenger equipment. The road handles a large number of passengers daring the summer, as it is the only line from the South that reaches anywhere in the neighborhood of Blowing Rock, N.C. one of the most popular summer resorts in the two Carolinas. Each day the wis dom of the coarse of the stockholders in patting their interests in the hands of the present management is becoming more apparent, and unless the Richmond & Danville octopus takes some under handed advantage of them it will not be many months before the road, which has long been an object of ridicule, will be a source of pride to the people who suffer ed so much from its mismanagement when in the hands of aliens.

The Strawberry Crop. Wilmington Star. The season for strawberry shipments to Northern markets from truck farms in tbis part of the country is nearly ovc r. The crop waa damaged early by coid wea'herand later by drought, and the yield was less thia hair of a full crop. But prices have been higher this season than for several years past, and many of the truckers say they have made more money on berries this year than tbey did last. The recent drop in prices to to cents per quart will not give them much concern, for with most of them, as stated, the season ia practically over. A Peuder county sciDper isst year sent 1,000 crates to market. This season he expected to market 900 crates, bat his crop, he thought, was ruined. A week ago he had shipped 213 crates, which brougtt him "more clear money," as he expre&Bed it, than his last season's crop did. A shipper in Duplin sent 90 crates to market last week, which sold for 85 cents per quart. HaoUiriTlile High School Closing. Correspondence of the Observer.

FINANCIAL AND UUHHKKQUL. What Llrerpool Did Yesterday Was No Kncoaracememt.to New York. Special by Private Wire to Harrison Watts. Nw Yobk, May 16. What Liverpool did to-day was no encouragement to tbis market, as after opening tbe same as yesterday, they closed 1-M lower, and will not open there aain until Monday. This will leave us here without tbe influence of Liverpool. We an ticipate l.ttle cbange. Inasmuch as there are no new features likely to develop during that time unless it may be favorable or unfavora ble crop accounts. it is supposed that the summer months here are very 6tronirly held to a large extent, and tbis may deter a bearish movement in tbose positions. The market at one time to day was very steady, but it did not last, and tbe close is 3 lower than last night. The crop movement continues on a dimin ishing scale, port receipt to-day being 2,224 against 2.710 last year, and port receipts for the week indicate about 2,000. including Brunswick, against 33.600 last year.

The liquidation in Lead was continued, and the Keene brokers had, apparently, orders to sell at any rally. Sugar was fairly firm at concessions from the early afternoon recovery. Tbe Havemeyer brokers bought on a scale down. The room traders sold. General Electtio was strong and there vn a good demand to cover shorts. The borrowing demand was well distributed throughout tbe list, with a brisk inquiry for Atchison and Distilling & Cattle Feeding. KlKASCIAL AND DOMESTIC NlW8 CO.
