GOVERNOR HOGG A COTTON BEAR
HE APPEARED ON 'cHANdE IN
NEW YORK.
SAID THE ACREAGE IN TEXAS
COULDN'T BE REDUCED AND
THAT TOO MUCH RAIN WAS AN
IMPOSSIBLE THING-THE MAR
KET CLOSED HIGHER.


The cotton market opened steady at
2ai points advance on near months
and ldi2 points on late months. The
close was steady at 7G9 points ad-
vance. Total sales. 75S.lOO bales. The
basis of the days improvement was on
sensational reports OF crop damages
In Texas. In addition to the buliish
government weekly crop report, prl-
vate advices coming from the cotton
belt Indicate the need OF bright. warm
weather TO compensate for the excess
sive moisture for the past three weeks
The volume OF speculation continues
to show an ebblng tendency. although
stun quite large, and inclined TO the
long side OF the account. The cables
were rather disappointing. In view OF
the pronounced strength shown by tho
New York market yesterday. There
were only about 6000 bales OF June
cotton notices started this morning,
and they were promptly stopped by
the people who issued them, 1t was
expected that the number OF June no.
tees would bo large. Governor Hogg
OF Texas was on change today, and
made something OF sensation by
claiming that the Texas acreage could
not be reduced, and that such a thing
as too much rain in the state Of Texas
is an impossiblllty. Spot cotton quiet,
with prices Lice higher.

Review of the market by f. C. Nc
Peark & Co.
Fort Worth. May 29.-The lnitial
prices at the opening Of Liverpool were
at an advance of 2-64, but . y. IN. was
steady at 1854 decline. In view of their
Improvement our market opened up
some four points, and remained steady
nj n slight advance. on receipt of
Liverpool closing, which was firm at
opening prices and the report OF rains
IN Texas, the market quickly advanced
ten points over last nights final
This however, was met with liberal
selling orders on a report from Shang-
there We're alarming rumors ailoat that
there were alarming rumore afioat that
renewal of hostilities between Japan
and China is imminent. While this Is
hardly probable, yet 1t was sufficient to
depress the market somewhat, causing
a reaction of seven points. The close
was steady, with "A net gain of hve
points for the day. Sales l53,5O0 bales.
Spots In New York were up 1-16 and
quiet al SO with i79 sales, The mar
ket seems to lie stlll In a very strong
position. and we strongly advise pur-
ehases at these prices.
The New York cotton exchange viii
be closed tomorrow on account Of dec
Grafton day. MS will also the Chicago
board OF trade and New York stock eX-
change. The New Orleans cotton eX-
change Will open as usual.

HUBBARD BROS. on COTTON.

New York. May 29.-Hubbard Bros.
& Co.'s cotton letter says: The gov
eminent crop report published thls
morning being favorable, had the effect
Of advancing Liverpool some 3-Gi0i-6l,
and our markets to points. The
speculation in the market has become
quleter than for some time, but the
feeling continues as bullish as ever, and
Il is noticeable that while prices re-
spond more slowly TO unfavorable crop
adyices that the entire trend OF the
market is toward higher prices. The
cotton belt at the present time needs
plenty OF sunshine and warm weather
to enable the farmers to catch up with
their work, and to give the plant relief
from the excessive moisture OF the past
three weeks whenever such condition
prevails We may expect to see sharp
reaction from tho recent advance. The
market closed slightly lower than the
best prices OF the day on n natural dis
position to avoid a large interest over
the holiday

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

All the Scholars Are Preparing for the
Approaching Examination-A Plea. for
the Establishment of a High School
On last Monday morning the school
bells Of the city rang out loud and clear
after a silence of two weeks, and the
merry troops of boys and girls has
tened to obey the glad summons" to
many, but a few with snail like pace
"crept unwillingly to school" because
they love vacation better than school
and would fain have had it last much
longer. The great majority, though,
were glad as the bright eyes and smil-
ing faces bore testimony as they met
their teachers at the school room door.
As far as heard from the full at
tendance is had in all the schools, and
the two weeks vacation may not do so
much harm after all, as the rest has
prepared the boys and girls for six
weeks of harder study than they could
have done without it.
While many may not agree with the
action of the Board OF Education in do
ing away with honOrs in graduation,
we think it a wise move and one that
ought to have been made long ago. The
work done by the juniors and seniors
under The present system has become
nothing but a stuffing process in order
to stand well at the final test. The pu-
pills could not be blamed for wishing to
stand as high as possible, but many
have been driven away from school
that would otherwise have finished the
course, knowing, or fearing that they
could not compete with those who had
the faculty of committing all the ques-
tiOns of the book, or rather knowing
that they would not take the honors,
they quit~at the very time when an
other year or more of schooling would
be of great benefit to them. A better
and a broader scholarship can be OBJ
tanned under the system TO prevail
hereafter.
Now, if our Board will take two other
/ needed steps our schools will be what
they cannot be without them, l. e.. we
need a High School The High School
we must have in order to carry out the
I ,
State Our school system proposes to
take our boys and girls from the low
est primary school through all the diff
ferent grades until they graduate from
the State University. The great need
in our State to-day is a preparatory
course to prepare students for the Uni
versity. The High School is intended
TO do this and we ought to have it at
once. The more graduates we have
from our University the better will our
State be prepared to take its place
where it must soon be-in the very
front rank of the great and rich States
of the Union.
West Virginia can be the better de-
veloped by West Virginia brains and
West Virginia Drawn educated and de
veloped in West Virginia schools. than
in any other way-and if it be thor
oughly and properly done in our public
schools ending with the University. so
much the better. To which we must
all say, amen.
