Review the Markets on News By
Leased Wire,


Fort Worth, Tex, Feb 4.-The deal
in contracts has been of only fair pro-
portions and the general character of
the market again weak and unpromis-
ing, with an absence Of anything really
new of a thoroughly pronounced
character Fresh speculation evidently
fails to find attraction, and in the
absence of that very much needed aid
the old longs are forced to carry the
position and do the best they can
while Whiting and hoping.
Liverpool closed about l-Gid lower
and barely steady. American markets
opened around Saturdays closing fig
ures and showed n gradual decline
throughout the session, closing quiet
at loss OF 446 points on the days
trading.
No change reported in spot quota
tions. Liverpool sales reached fair
proportions, amounting to 1900 bales
New York and New orleans were dull,
with sales of 1856 bales in the former
market and 1900 in the latter. includ-
ing 800 to arrive
Crop developments continue quite
liberal, port receipts today reaching
39,3S7, against 2i.3Si last year and the
estimated receipts at New orleans to-
morrow being 1900 to $4,000, as COM
pared with $500 last year and $500 in
1892. Houston today received 1914
against 1923 last year, and Memphis
1900, against 1888. The only encouraging
feature in sight at present to long
holders Is the continuation OF the heavy
exports. showing the willingness Of
foreign spinners or spectators to take
cotton at these prices, but 1t is a ques-
tlon whether or not this will continue
long enough to absorb the large amount
of cotton yet to come into sight and
give the needed assistance toward
carrying over the enormous surplus of
the present crop.

In their letter to Il. G. McPeak & Co.
on grain Lamson Bros. & Co. say:
Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 4.-Oficlal changes
In the visible makes wheat decrease
1,2S9,000 bushels, There appeared to be
fair amount of bull influence present,
but the market did not respond, al
though for a time 1t ruled ON frac-
tlonally higher basis, The decrease in
the visible was somewhat heavier than
expected, while on passage there was
decrease OF 100000 bushels. Cables
We're inclined to firmness, especially on
the cash article. Northwest got III cars
against 81 cars last year, while the
aggregate receipts at primary points
were disappointing, but l1l,OO0 bush
els of wheat and flour for the Atlantic
ports was reported, and the English
visible shows an increase of 100000
bushels. on which market displayed
some weakness toward middle of ses-
sion. though ii firmed up toward the
close.
Corn-Has been barely steady. The
advance in freight rates, shippers claim
is checking the Inquiry. Market was
extremely dull at times and principally

covered fluctuations for the day. Local
receipts, 30 cars, under estimates, while
those OF contract grades continues
quite liuht. The visible Increase was
sd. 600 bushels. The primary receipts
were but l7S,0O0 bushels, against LOO
600 bushels last year.
provisions-The liberal receipts of
hogs at the yards assisted in creating
quite an easy feeling in speculative
features early. but on the whole the
market was fairly strong. The weekly

IOOKING TOR OFfICE.

Notwithstanding tins Is an ''oft year
in politics, North Carolina keeps up
her record for political agitation. Some
who are calculating Tor a draught from
the political fountain Of reward for la

the interest Of the dear people, giving
them instructions q which viii lead
them to far fields Of plenty where they

Those who are now most active III
keeping the people agltated and III
poisoning their minds with bitter dis
content, are the very men who Will be

patriot who does his people the best
service and the best service any man,
Populist, Democrat, Republican or
what not, can render the people OF this
country to-day, is to let them alone.
ANY reasonable and falr-minded man
ought to see that SO much agitation
disqualifes men for business, distracts
their minds, disturbs their homes, sOWs
discord amongst all classes and SO clogs
the progress Of the entire country.
1t would be resttul If the place-hunt-
ers and office-seekers would let the peO-
pie alone and give them some oppor-
tunity to attend to their business I'M

THE SILVER CONTENTION.

The silver convention which met il
Raleigh on Wednesday of last week
Sept 25th. was a great disappointment
to some Democrats. The attendance
was reported to be 243 Republicans and
Populist and q Democrats.
THE DEMOCRAT said last week that
it would be fine opportunity Tor Pop
ulists to take charge Of things for the
day.
Many good and true Democrats claim
that the convention meant nothing for
or against the Democratic party but
we are of the opinion that if few
more meetings of the kind are called
and given up to the Popullsts they Will
not desire any more such for they Will
have all the advantage they want
THE DEMOCRAT believes what it has
long maintained That there is too
much agitation amongst the people.
The more we have the worse grows the
dissatisfaction and dissatisfied people
ere ALWAYS in bad condition. be their
environments what they may.
A few wears ago the Democratic par
ty laid down certain principles on the
tariff issue that were wise and true.
Effort was made to improve the tariff
laws. Some notifications were made
in the laws but the changes were not
wholly satisfactory to those who desired
them. 1t would. therefore, have been
much wise if the party had continued
to work at tariff improvement until it
had been made fairly satisfactory to
the whole people.
" G believe TO-DAY, rs we have all
the while believed. that there is not 50
much IN the financial question as many
seem to think Agitation Is the big
gest thing IN it; and five years from
now YOU VIII hear but little about it.
1t will pass out and give room for some
otner political fad.
