E. Harrison reported the treasury in good condition, all bills against the Board having been paid and a surplus on hand- The warehouses then reported the number of pounds of tobacco sold on each floor. The Green- ville warehouse sold since August Leaf tobacco pounds. Scrap tobacco making a total of pounds. The Eastern warehouse reported sold since August Leaf tobacco and scrap Scrap tobacco kept separate from leaf, MUMS pounds making a total of 175- Adding the sales of the to houses the Greenville market has sold this year 1,357.410 pounds, an in- crease over the entire sales of last year of ever pounds. The principal business of the finished, Mr. J. Morgan arose and moved that the meeting vote a and happy Christmas to all the boys, after which the Board adjourned to meet again the first Monday January. The report of the warehouses was a surprise even to the ware- house people themselves. No one bad calculated that the mar- would sell up to Christmas more than a million and a quarter figuring, but the above figures are facts that cant be dis- Our revenue books are open for public inspection. At this time last year the market had sold a fraction over pounds and after Christmas last season we sold a half million pounds or more. Then we can reasonably expect to sell nest year fully as much as we did last year if not more, which will give the market two million or more for the year ending June 1st, 1894. It will not be amiss here to take a review of the past of the market, its present standing and future prospects. The Greenville market had its first sale in 1891- There was one ware house here at the Green- ville, and no prize house at all. The opening sale was visited by leaf tobacco men from a number of markets in this State and Virginia and the opening day like all other Sales of the kind was almost a failure. Lots of tobacco was here and lots of buyers that day and the next to buy it, but after then we were left alone with the bag to hold. Not a single buyer was located that time but the house been built and the market must be kept going some how. We had nowhere at all to prize tobacco except on the ware house floor until the Greenville Warehouse Company had a small prize room built in the rear of the warehouse. With no prize room, no buyers, nobody to run the house, and exceedingly few that had a cheering word to speak to the warehouse projectors, nothing but gloomy prospects for the Greenville market loomed up id the future. Finally the Board of Directors of the Greenville Ware house Company managed to cure the services of Man Evans to run the ware- house. The next obstacle was the lack of buyers, so this writer was at this time keeping books for the threw up his job, and pulled off his coat and with a few others pitched in as buyers on the Greenville mar One or two of our mer- chants thinking there was big money buying tobacco on this market and reselling on another employed buyers to buy for them. Aft hr a few shipments and returns -v losses these newly con i tobacco buyers retired some the but much the wiser. . in this way the to- was conducted in i i the first season. The the Eastern Warehouse a. . trial house was built a r and great preparations were for a grand opening, and it was, for one .-, however. The opening sale . second year was the means by which enough buyers were in to come to Greenville to buy what tobacco was offered and the market of course made better progress than the first year. Th first year remember only pounds were sold, the second about a million and a quarter. The opening sale the third year was not a very grand affair. The experience of the two previous years and the panicky times vented much tobacco from coming to Greenville on the opening day. As times grew better tobacco be- coming this way and enough of it has already come to Green- ville to induce a number of young though skilled tobacconists to locate in our town, and the Greenville market to-day stands on more solid ground than any eastern market. We confident- expect to sell two million pounds this season and there is no living reason why we should not annually increase until ours will the leading mar of the State. Young men have come here and come to make it their home, men with energy and enterprise and business With these three things and with the natural advantages that Greenville possesses as a tobacco center there are but few things can down it. sincerely hope to see the day when Green ville boast of being the largest loose exclusively bright tobacco market in the State and we firmly believe that day is not far distant.

Mr. Jones was in client health when he left here and his death is a shock to the people who knew him. He was one of the most popular men in Wake county and was held in highest esteem. There are conflicting reports as to the cause of his death. One states that he died from some- thing like swamp fever, contract- ed in Shanghai, and the other is that he became insane in and become violent after re- board ship died after seven days of incessant The body reached San Francisco Sunday week and was shipped to for burial.

This mean a year in interest which mus come before the stockholders get a penny- our D. C-, Dec. 1893 Secretary proved him- self, during his long service in Congress, to be the ablest Legislators tho country has pro- and his report, submitted to Congress this week, places him in the front rank of national financiers. Even a cur- glance over his report, which makes a pamphlet of sixty-two pages, will show the enormous amount of studying he was com- to do in order to familiarize himself with the more or less complicated subjects with which it deals. He strongly commends the Wilson tariff bill and puts forward strong arguments to show that it will benefit the country, and reminds the majority of the House that it was especially elected to reform the tariff. He shows the financial condition to be such that immediate relief by Congressional legislation is necessary, and points out that this may be by authorizing the issue of five-year per cent bonds, or by authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to use a per note to run one year, to pay those creditors of the government who may elect to them in lieu of cash- The predominating trait in the character of President Cleveland is in assuming responsibility for all his acts. And it was brought prominently to the front when he sent for some of his friends in the Senate and House, while the Republicans were engaged in trying to make political capital in both bodies by distorting the facts concerning his Hawaiian policy, and told them that it was his desire that the Democrats should place no obstacles in the way of the fullest investigation of the whole matter. The reason the were so anxious to get in their speeches before the recess was their fear that the whole will be entirely settled before Congress meets again. The House committee on Bank Currency adjourned for the Christmas recess in a dead- lock over the proposition to re- port a bill for the unconditional repeal of the per cent State bank tax. There were only twelve out of the seventeen present when tho vote re- in a tie. An agreement or the other will probably be reached early in January. The majority report of the House Ways and Means commit- tee, which was presented to the House when the bill was reported this week, is a long document, but it will repay careful reading and study. It takes up and ans- in detail about every reason- able objection that has been raised to the Wilson tariff bill, and outlines the course that will be followed by the Democratic speakers when the bill is taken up in the House, which will be as soon as Congress comes together after the holiday recess. Chair- man Wilson is anxious to see the bill put through the House with- out having to resort to drastic measures, but fully determined not to allow the debate to run beyond the point of legitimate discussion. The general among Democrats seems to that about two weeks will be allowed for debate, with night sessions it they are considered to every member who desires it an opportunity to express his views on the bill. Postmaster General has not yet decided to give the contract for the printing of post- age stamps to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, but it is believed that he will do so not- withstanding the less well paid a Washing- ton daily paper in behalf of the private concern which put in tho lowest bid for the work, except that of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Secretary Car- lisle says in his annual report, on the present this bureau executes all of the work of engraving and printing re quired by the Treasury depart- and much of that required by the other departments of the government. The most of this kind now outside of the bureau is the postage stamps and the postal notes required by the Post Office Department. It might he well for Congress to consider the advisability of having this portion of the work of the government also executed by this bureau, as it has all the facilities for ting it and would afford perfect security to the government. It would seem to present an condition of affairs for the government to maintain a large establishment for the of this character of work and yet have a part of it done in It would be absurd to say that the nomination of Hon. Wayne to be ambassador to Italy was joyfully received by Democrats, but the fact of his immediate confirmation shows there were no hard feelings on the part of the Senators. TREASURY SENSATION. Washington Post. Gross irregularities amounting to of dollars are stated to have been discovered in the New York custom house by a special agent of the department recently detailed to make an investigation. His report, which is elaborate as to detail, has been laid before Secretary and was yes- the subject of several discussion between him and Assistant Secretary Hamlin, in charge of customs matters in the Treasury Department. The report refers principally to tobacco refunds, in which the regularities are alleged to have occurred. The amount involved is stated as high as and gross negligence or worse is charged against New York custom house officials. The period covered by the fraudulent refund on co importations is from 1883 to the present time- The principles laid down in the case of the United States vs. as to tobacco refund have been the basis on which all proper refunds have been made. These it is stated, have been de- parted from and refunds allowed illegally and wrongfully. While the report deals with the tobacco refund, it also touches upon refunds made in the hat trimmings cases, where it is alleged refunds amounting to many hundreds of thousands of have been illegally and made. These cases have recently been the subject of correspondence be- tween the Treasury Department and Collector at New York, and United States District Attorney Mitchell, of New York. The matter is deemed of the most importance in the Treasury Department, and close reticence has been observed in regard to it. Secretary and Assistant Secretary Hamilton late last even- declined to discuss the matter when asked about it But as a result of this special report, it is asserted, at the Treasury Depart- that there will be an and general shake-up of the officials sf the New York custom house.
