The Financial Situation Gradually
Improving Every Day.
NEW YORK, July 13.-Notwith-
standing the furry in the stock mar
ket today bank presidents and others
occupying positions familiarizing
themselves with current conditions
unanimously agreed that the general
situation has improved and continues
to do SO. There is nothing in the
produce such an unsettling effect. At
several of the banks it was said to-
day that considerable amounts of cur
rency had been received yesterday
and again this morning. One large
Broadway bank yesterday received
$500, 900 in gold and currency from the
country. Some of the gold was re-
ceived back from California. The
Fourth National bank received S34I,
600 in currency yesterday for country
correspondents and today its receipts
of currency by the first express deliv-
cry amounted to $185,000, with a lot
more in sight.
AS an Indication of the easier condi-
tion prevailing, it was reported today
that many country banks were remit
ting currency here and getting back
some of their bills receivable which
they had rediscounted here three or
four weeks ago, taking advantage, of
course, of the rebate in the discount
for the uneXpired time.

ANOTHER COMET IN SIGHT,
Astronomers Much Interested in
Mysterious Visitor

A comet visible to the naked eye
has appeared in the heavens. and as
tronomers, both professional and anna
teur, have been studying it ever since
it was first discovered by Alfred Bor-
dance, of Salt Lake City, on the night
of July s. Their ideas about it, how
ever, are still of the vaguest. 1t APP
pears to be an entire stranger and has
therefore been called the Rordance
comet in honor of the astronomer
who first discovered it,
A feature of the mysterious visitor
is that it is perfectly visible TO the
naked eye, and was in fact first locat-
ed in the East by man up in Tarry-
town, n. j., without Il glass, and
while astronomers who had been
posted were making lengthy search
for it with their powerful telescopes
1t is located in right ascension, S
hours, 35 minutes; declination, north
46 degrees, 50 minutes, and ought to
be visible at any time after it gets
dark enough to see the stars at all,
A very good way TO find it is to first
locate the big dipper. Then draw a
line through the two stars which
make the handle.

The State Alliance Fund.

RALEIGH, N c. July 12-The trus-
tee of the State Alliance business
fund makes the first public state
ment regarding that fund. He says
S35, 900 was subscribed and that 1861
was lost on cotton bagging made of

to give bonds, and that 81, ,220 was
lost to the Executive Committee.
He asserts that the latter sum was
to be used to pay the per diem and
mileage of delegates to the annual
meeting of the State Alliance. He
takes this occasion to attack the1ate
Legislature, saying that if the latter
had not attacked the Alliance the ST.
220 or part of it would have been
paid, while now the Executive Com
mlttee says it cannot return the
money.
Nc ney for the Confederate monu-
ment to be erected here continues to

From the Fayetteville Gazette
The Gazette would most heartily
second the motion by the Observer
to make Guildford Battle Ground a
State park, where other monuments
might be erected to perpetuate the
hereism and bravery of North Caro-
lina's illustriOus sons as far back as in
the great war of the revolution, for
national independence. Beautified
and made additionally attractive, it
would soon become the pride and pet
resort on the 4th of July in each and
every year of every patriotic Tar
Heel, where we could annually assem-
BILE from all parts of the State, shake
hands with and meet face to face old
friends and acquaintance of by-gone
DAYS, as well as listen to the thrilling
story of flame well won.''

Reports from the growing crop are
not SO encouraging this week. The
weather is dry and hot and the plant
is not so flourishing as some weeks
ago. In the Eastern part of the State
the crop is being topped and is re

mains about the same. Collections
are hard to make and money remains
close. Sales are good, all things con-
sidered, and stocks with jobberS are
reported small. The present duh sea-
