Last Money I saned Already Repaid BY
Larger British Exports.

Larger British Exports.
The great prosperity of the wool
trades has fortunately more than offset
the retrogression in cotton, though that
reflection brings small consolation to
Lancashire. The total gain for the n:ze
months under yarns and textiles is &c.
4SS,3!5, and as the value of woolen It's
sues taken by the United States has been
about 81, $50, 900 and of worsted tissues
nearly $15, 600, 900 greater than in 1894,
no farther search for the origin of the
improvement in the trade returns need
be made. The lowering Of the American
tariff has been our salvation, for it can
not be said that we have shown much
reciprocity, for instead of taking the in
creased value of our shipments across
the Atlantic in kind, we seem to have
bought less American produce. 1t is
needless to 60 beyond our own board Of
trade returns to find an explanation Of
good deal Of the monetary trouble in
the United States.
Practically every penny that was sub
scribed here toward the recent American
loan has been got back through the ex-
pansion in the exports of .woolens and
worsteds, but the United States has not
confined her increased purchases to those
articles. Last month she bought less
raw wool than in September, 1894, but
had TO pay more for it. She took more
cotton pieces, more iron, more alkali
and more of sundry articles which need
not be specified. In some instances the
rapid growth Of the preceding months
resulted in "a slight check in September,
but in all these cases the figures of the
nine months show big advance in
1894. On the other hand, we have paid
good deal less for American wheat,
flour, bacon, hams, cheese, tallow and
cotton, to mention only those articles in
which the contraction is most apparent
The fact that the Argentine Republic
heads the United States in respect Of
maize is not without significance. Thus
the trade balance between the States and
this country is moving rapidly against
the former, and it would require large
and regular transference of securities
from New York to London to redress
this tendency and restore the former po-
sition. And with India, Argentina and
Australia keeping up and even improv-
ing their position as purveyors Of wheat
to this country, with Argentina sending
more as the United States sends less
tallow, it will not be easy for the Amer
leans to regain their old footing in our
market. Last month India and Argen-
tina sent us more wheat than the United
States, and Russia and Roumania to-
gether also topped the American figures.
These all are factors that must be borne
in mind in judging the outlook in the
United States, and it is unfortunate
that they are so consistently overlooked
in that country itself. The increase in
the purchases of British manufactures
may not be maintained; but, on the
other hand, the United States must
count Oh the competition in wheat and
maize becoming more and more intense
as time goes on. London Financial

NEW YORK, Nov. 25-The engage

RALEIGH MARKET.
RALEIGH, N. c., Nov 22.-The cotton
market to-day was spirited and active.
1t opened strong and closed firm with
indications of going still higher. Light
receipts and a good demand were the
principal bullish influences. Liverpool
cables were higher with strong demand
from spinners.
As the season advances it daily be-
comes more evident that short crop
has been made, generally estimated at
$500, 900 bales, and that the farmers
have the best of the contest
with the spectators. Though much
of The cotton vas sold month
ago wien prices were high there is still
one-third to one fourth Of the crop in the
hands of the planters, and they are not
going to give it up for less than from
to 9 cents, and they are pretty sure to
get the latter figure. The crop move
m.ut is small Mill men are becoming
ANXIOUS TO buy at present prices. Spec
ulatoss in the South have for the last
three weeks been on the short side, and
now they are trying to cover. But more
potential than any ofathese influences in
advancing the price is the short crop.
Italy, dsfmsny and England, have
turned bulls on the small receipts.
That the yi.ld this year is much
smaller than that indicated by the recent
government report, admits Of no doubt.

IN A STATE OF STARVATION.
Wretched Condition Of the People Out in
Oklahoma Territory.

KANSAS, City. June 9.-Rev. P.
Shane and Judge T. P. Nash of Grant
county, Okl., are in the city asking aid
for the people of Prairie township and
in fact for the entire population Of
Grant county, who are actually starry
ing.
Reports of this state of want and des-
titution have reached the public from
time to time, but very little credence
was given them. The two gentlemen
who arrived in the city yesterday to
ask for bread to fill hungry mouths
and clothes to cover suffering bodies,
were appointed at a meeting held a
few weeks ago in Grant county for
that purpose. At that meeting, the
sufferers drew up statement of the
condition of affairs there The section
of territory that is the scene of such
suffering and want was opened in Sep
tember 1898. The settlers came, in
the rush for claims. with little money
and less household goods. Today not
a penny of their savings is left and
every household is a scene of destitu-
ton. The unfortunate people have
not the wherewithal to leave the coun-
try, and so they remain to suffer, and,
if help does not come soon, to die.
The Rev. Mr.. Shane says: For the
last three months four families have
been existing on my pension
money. It would do, in ordni-
arv circumstances, for the bare wants
of my immediate family, but with four
families you can imagine what it
means. Last Monday l drew $40 for
my last quarter. paid the grocery
bill which had accumulated during
the quarter, and then had $1.75. Just
before leaving for this trip. l asked for
credit for sack of flour
but this was refused. When we
had to face immediate needs, it
had been customary for the mer-
chants to credit those who had pen
sions, so they were sure of getting
their money. But with credit denied,
the last resource was cut off. My SON
in-law and his wife started away IN
their wagon Tuesday, without a cent

The End Not Iet,

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 13.-Mr. J.
f. J. Caldwell was asked yesterday
afternoon if he stood by what he had
said the night before in reference to the
decision in the registration case, since
he had had time to read and consider
Judge Hughes opinion He said that
he did, and more; that he felt more
confident than he ever had. His case
involved matters not touched on in
the other case, and he would have a
standing before the court that the
other petitioners did not have. Mr..
Caldwell said that ne would wait un-
til after salesday in July, the last day
provided for the registration of voters,
after which he would have the atfida-
Wits of one thousand men to show
that the law had not been complied
with. He would then be in position
to deal some heavy blows and he
would deal them. He was in the best
of spirits and certainly showed no
uneasiness for results if he feltany.

4 Daring Burglary.

DARLINGTON, June 9.-One of the
boldest robberies ever committed in
Darlington occurred this morning be-
tween the hours of 3 and 5 o'clock:
Deans Bros. grocery store, situated
on Pearl street, was entered by several
persons with a key that is supposed to
have been lost by one of the firm, and
small iron safe was bodily taken
thereform, loaded on small wagon
and carried to the swamps of Swift
Creek, near the town, and with cold
chisel was broken open. AL the money
extracted, leaving checks
and other valuable papers intact. No
one sleeps on the premises, but the
members of the firm were in the store
until 3 o'clock. There is no clue to
the robbers as yet, but dilligent efforts
are being made to apprehend them.
The neiehboring towns have been noti-
fed b. wire to look out for suspicious
characters
