The wheat trade shows only occasional strength as prices struggle amid a vast visible supply over 81 million bushels at the start of 1893, far higher than prior years. Gains stem from foreign markets with lighter European receipts, but permanent foreign trade gains seem unlikely due to reduced U.S. exports.
An 1892 letter announces a contract for shoes with a Boston house for 1893 delivery across North Carolina. It promises free freight and a 5000 shoe almanac supply to applicants, with vendors to receive copies when ready. Also included is a brief note on an experiment with S A Official Guano on corn dated March 26.
The letter discusses corn and fodder yields with and without guano, profits per acre, and observations on pests. It then outlines a pricing and shipping strategy for sewing machines, praising the Improved Farmers' Alliance machine, its parts, warranty, and delivery terms across North Carolina with emphasis on consolidated brand sourcing and post order remittance practices.
