' It may be a matter of wonder to
aome peupie wuj vuere are ao lew
ducks offered for sale in this mar
ket, while it is known that quanti
ties of them may be shot within ,
lew miles of this city.
- The reason for the scarcity is not
because toe ducks an not shot, for
tbej are, thousands of them, but
the reason is that they are being
hipped to northern markets.
. It is said that the stopping of the
teener Nense at the Ocracoke sta-
tie Makes it moat convenient for
the, duck shooters, and they are
shipping by steamer, North. Theee
shipments are made np from the
.people all along the sounds, who
barrel op the duoks as they are
hot and send them to market.
If ducks are wanted here in any
wpply, good prices must be offered
for them.

,-Teaeea Wareheaee Prejeel.
Last night several gentlemen met
at Dr. Street's offioe, and talked
over informally, with Capt E. M.
Pace, of Wilson, the tobacco ware
house project,
Capt. Pace is fully informed on
the subject of tobacco, from its
planting to its curing, and those
present last night were greatly inter
ested in learning bis views on the
subject, and the practicability of
establishing a warehouse in New
Berne.
From the meeting last night, it
was demonstrated to those present
that a warehouse conld be easily
bnilt here, and that it would prove
a paying venture, everything being
most favorable to its success, the
conditions of soil in this section
being unsurpassed for tobacco culti
vation at a minimum of cost, with
the result of securing a superior
grade of tobacco which wonld bring
good returns to the producer. :
New Berne's climate is suitable
for tobacco and a warehouse estab
lished here would hare nothing
against it on this account.
Capt. Pace is a most interesting
talker, and any one listening to him
cannot fail to be impressed with his
presentation of the tobacco subject,
and feel that a tobacco warehouse is
a necessity.
If our merchants could meet the
gentleman, it would seem but a
question of a few hours when
a - stock ompany could be
formed, with enough stock subscrib
ed to make a warehousea certainitj
in New Berne.
Our merchants want more trade
brought here, and there is nothing
which wonld giro them more, and a
cash one at that, as the building of
a tobacco warehouse and the busi
ness coming from it.
Capt Pace will go around today
and look at the land near this city
and tonight meet all who are inter
osted in this project at Dr. Street's
office at 8 o'olock.
It will pay our people to get
to woi k at once on this matter.
