Raleigh, Dee 21-Tbe holiday trade
here Is quite good but Is said to be hard
ly up to last year's very high mark. The
low prices for tobacco are said to be the
cause, The farmers are gettlog Im
mense prices for their -cotton, the high
est In a quarter ot a century, yet tome
of them are not entirely satisfied.',' If
they sell at IScta, they think that if they
had waited a few days they could have
obtained 14 cts. Tet when the season be
gan their hope was to get 'as much as
lOots and they said ' thai when that- fig
ure wu reached they would tarn cotton
loose. It is being very freely 'marketed
now; and the receipts here are only a
few hundred bales, less than - they were
last year when the crops were so. much
larger. -y -y y , - v "; ,
Mention was make the other day of
the fact that the farmers j this year and
lut year planted at much cotton as thy
could possibly do. There ere tome per
sons who have a belief that labor from

states,; and say that In this
way only oan the acreage be increased.
They argue that It is better to bring la-
por here to develop land t which every
body knows will produce cotton than to
experiment in far off eoantrics to af cer
tain whether cottoa can begrow a In

Peraon who have 'visited Charlottt
think the tolutloa of the liquor qnettioa
there is excellent, a few bar-rooms, with
high lioense and short hoars and with
no soreea or anything to break the view
and with all the business done at the
front, so all the world can see It. It Is
said that this , system Is satltf aotory to

The weather this season has beea un
usually severe on the small grain orops.
Not a large crop could be planted, and
the hard freezes have set the crop back
considerably,
