COTTON FRHCITT RATES.
Ou,.e n change in local freight rates on
cotton out OF Raleigh was made by the
Richmond and Danville rsilroad yesterday.
Tho change, while consistent and agreeing
with the local rates Of other lines in this
and other States will work very dlsad-
vanfaoeouslv for Raleigh IN the matter OF
cotton shipments. The rate on raw cotton
from Raleigh u Haw river. a distance OK
1ftv-fye miles. was until to-day fourteen
cents per hundred; now the rate IL
twenty cents. The former rate tor
one hundred and fifty miles was twenty
FIVE cents; now il Is thirty-one cents. for
two hundred milesthe rate has been thirty
two cents: il Is now thlrty-four cents.
This morning "A railroad-man stated that
while the local rates from Raleigh had been
tins increased, they were now the same as
those obtaining on the Cane Fear and 1ad-
tin-yallev railroad in this State, and all
lines in the States of Georgia and
south Carolina. The changes IT appears
were bgought about by tho cotton
mills in these two States. who com
plained that the North Carolina mills
received their raw cotton at much lower
rates for similar distances than the GeOr-
cia and South Carolina mills, and mas
much a. the Richmond and Danville road
nermeatcs nll three of the States the man
agemeut put the rates up to uniformity 10
prevent discrimination. A reprcsentatlHe
of several large Piedmont mills recently
came hSee 10 buy cotton. and IT was esti-
mated Chat his purchases for this year
would amount TO fifteen thousand bales.
His mills will be put at u disadvantage by
the change and the purchases Tor them may
be greatly decreased.
FAVORABLE.
There was another change which Will
greatly favor North Carolina mills IN the
shipment of manufactured cotton. Inc
former rate on this class Of goods from
Haw river to New York was forty-one and
n half cents. IL has been reduced to thirty
two cents. There is a corresponding re-
duction on tie same class of products
from Raleigh 10 New York and eastern
markets.
The majority of the farmers in this sec
ton have agreed not to rush cotton on the
market this season. They will adopt the
storage plan and store cotton, on wmch
cash advances will be made to those who
need IL. The movement Is not meant TO
antagonize the market here, but TO pre-
vent glut or Over-supply. 1t IS thought
the scheme will work adyantageously Tor
both buyer and seller.
LYECHISG.
Governor Fowle, in view of the lynching
at Morganton last week to-day issued a pro
