Cotton Prices.

Liverpool opened firm but lifeless.
The very small sales (only G,0O0 bales)
for Friday seem to show that the short
time movement is meeting with some
success, but futures clos ed a shade dear
er. Considerable apprehension was felt
as to the Liverpool recounts Of stock,
which were to have been announced
but not received. The freer south
ern movements and offerings were offset
by sigr al service prediction Of frost in the
Piedmont belt, aud first quotations were
finally advanced with narrow fluctuations
and active business. Norfolk is steady
with better demand for all grades, though
white kinds alone being official figures.

In Arctic Alaska the natives keep all
young wolves that they catch and train
them as dogs for teams. Dogs aud
wolves are reared together. The dogs
are more than half wolf and have the
characteristics of those animals. They
are without affection, but obey their
masters through fear. One dog in each
team makes himself master and overseer.
If any dog shirks he will punish him.
If he cannot get at him When in har-
ness, he will not forget to give him chas-
tisement when released at night. They
are capable of enormous endurance, like
wild wolves, and caa fast aud work a
long while.

SOUTHERN ENTERPRISES.
The Wave of Fortune Rolling on in Spite of
Yellow Fever.

Reports show that the past week has
witnessed the consummation of large
number of great enterprises in railroad
and industrial circles throughout the
South. The faith of Northern capital
lists in Southern railroad securities is
shown in the placing of $4,000, 900 of
bonds of the Georgia Central Railroad
through Drexel, Morgan & Co, and the
negotiations, now reported as closed. for
the purchase at $4,000, 900 of the Ken
lucky Midland Road. The Plant Invest
ment Company has subscribed for por-
tior of the bonds of the Alabama Mid
land Road, which probably insures the
carly building of that line from Balm
bridge, Ga, to Montgomery. A number
of large contracts have been let during
the week for important extensions of old
roads and the building of new ones, in
dicating great activity in railroad con-
struction throughout the South. The
Pioneer Manufacturing Company. of
Birmingham, owned by the Thomas Iron
Company people, of Pennsylvania, will
build duplicate furnace of the one late
ly completed, also $50 ton rolling mill.
at cost of probably over $500, 900; a
$500, 900 coal mining company has been
organized ct Cordova, Ala; Chicago
capitalists will build 81, 900, 900 central
sugar refinery in Louisiana, with short
railroads to adjacent plantations: st.
Louis capitalists have purchased coal
lands in Texas for about $500. 900 which
they will develop; in Richmond ST.
900, 900 cotton seed oil mill company has
been chartered; a $4,000 spindle cotton
mill will be built in Georgia; Philadel-
phia iron bridge works have secured a
location for plant in Roanoke, Va;
$4,000 worth of machinery has been
ordered for complete bolt and nut work
in Decatur, Ala; contract has been
made with Texas quarry for 81, 900 car
loads of granite. These are but few of
the leading items reported in this weeks
Manufacturers Record. There are many
smaller enterprises, including electric
light and water works, ice factories. flour
and saw mills, &C., showing that even
the yellow fever scare has had but little
effect in checking the South's great in
dustrial development, and now that the
danger of the fever spreading has about
died out, still greater activity may be
looked for.

The New York World declares that a
peculiar agitation is in progress in Mime
sofa Certain women in that State are
attempting to have law passed compel
ling a man to declare his intentions
within four weeks after paying his first
visit TO young women. Such meas
ure would be based on injustice. A
man who knows his own mind regarding
a girl within month after meeting her
is rare. This is to great extent the
fault OF the gentler sex. The nature of
woman is secretive. A young woman
cannot be weighed and labeled after a
few weeks acquaintance. She must be
studied long while before her desira-
bility as wife can be approximately
judged. Let Minne:ota legislators be

Raleigh Bank Robbers.

In Wake Superior Court the two re-
naming cases of the State of North
Carolina against Charles E Cross and
Samuel G White, ex-president and cash
ier OF the State National Bank of Raleigh,
were taken up. Marked interest is
shown in the proceeding. The charges
are forgery of notes which Cross and
White placed among the banks papers.
The two charges are of the three on
which the extradition of Cross and
White from anada was secured. The
first case was tried last July and resulted
in a conviction of both parties and SEN
fenced to long term of labor ON the
public roads. The defendants appealed
to the State Supreme Court on the ground
that in cases OF this character only the
United States. not State ourt, had ju
risdiction. The Supreme Court has not
yet reached this appeal. and may not do
so this term. The prisoners, through
their counsel, asked continuance of
the case on the ground that the matter
is now pending in the Supreme Court.
Judge Avery refused to grant continu-
ance and ordered the trial to proceed
regularly. After a large special venire
hal been nearly exhausted, jury was
secured and the tlial began. 1t is said
by the prisoners counsel that no new
evidence in their favor will be presented
This being the case, two more convic-
tions are certain, which mean lorg SEN
tences in addition TO the one already i'm
posed. OF course appeals will also be
taken in these cases as in the other.
