SPOTS AND FUTURES RISE.
Liverpool Sent an Electric Shock to the Ameri- can Markets Predictions of Higher
 Prices Are Heard.

New York, Aug 2S.-The Suns cotton review says: Cotton advanced 15 to IT points, then reacted and closed to 10 points higher for the day, with the tone steady and thc sales 324,900 bales, mak- ing 959,700 bales in four business days. Today's busiress was the largest on any day for a long time past After change prices were 1 to points higher than the closing official price.
 Liverpool rose to S1A points, closing strong a a net advance of points, with spot sales of 12,000 bales at a rise of 3-32d. Manchester was higher but the advance checked business. New Orleans advanced F to II points, but lost points of this later on.
 Spot cotton advanced Ac at New York, Augusta, St. Louis, Baltimore, Norfolk, Mobile and New Orleans; 1-16c at Calves ton and Memphis. and S-16c at Savan- nah. Memphis sold $50 bales, New Or leans 600 and New York 765 bales. the lat ter including 215 bales for export and 550 bales for spinning. Middling uplands here, s 1-16c
 Port receipts were 635 bales, against 125 bales this day last week and 26S4 bales this day last year.
 Houston received 57O bales, against 210 bales this day last week and 2993 bales this day last year.
  ton belt though some rain is reported in Georgia Mississippi and Alabama.
 Today's features: Liverpools rise, equal to 20 points in our money, was like shock of electricity to the American markets. But behind it all was the gov ernments report. Just as it was week ago, so it was today. It was no one mans market. It was a broad, excited specula- tion, which no one man or no one set of men could control The outside public was at the helm The outside public put up prices and not even very heavy liqui- dation for long account could put them down very much. Tonight the feeling was buoyant. Predictions of very much higher prices are heard everywhere. The south, New England, Wall street, room operators and, it is understood, Chicago operators were buying cotton. On the rise some leading local interests took profits freely and Liverpool and the con- tinent also sold. Yet the market closed at a substantial advance for the day and many thought that steam was still up.

IN ONE ROUND.
Joe Walcott Makes Punching Bag of Dick
 O'Bren,


 Boston, Aug. 2S.-An audience of 2500 people witnessed the Walcott-O Brien boxing match this evening at the West Newton street armory, under the au- spices of the Farragut club, which re- suited in the latter's defeat In one round
 Joe Walcott of Boston is the recognized 40 pound champion of America and Dick O'Brien of Lewiston, Mo-, is con- sidered one of the cleverest fighters in the same class. This was their second fight, the first one being won by Walcott
 OBrien had plenty of packers about the ringside, and from his appearance there was a strong indication that he would put up a great battle. Walcott showed himself to be a better fighter in every respect, knocking his opponent down four times during the first round and ending it in two minutes and forty five seconds.
 Both men came to the center at the sound of the gong. O'Brien lost no time and started for Waleott with a rush. He landed his left lightly on the colored mans face That blow undoubt- edly gave Walcott the impression that his opponent wanted to fight fast, for he measured his distance and sent his left for O'Brien's jaw, landing heavily. The blow knocked O'Brien across the ring, where he fell When he regained his feet Walcott hit him similar blow daz- ing O'Brien and sending him again to the floor. It was this punch that weak ened O'Brien. The timekeeper counted eight seconds and then O'Brien regained his feet but staggered about. Walcott followed it with another left on the jaw Down went OBrien for the third time but at the end of nine seconds he was on his feet. As he put up his guard the spectators acted like mad men, and there was a cry to put stop to the fight Be- fore their wish was realized Walcott planted his left in the same spot and O'Bren went into oblivion for the time being. He was assisted to his corner where he remained a few minutes and then retired to his dressing room.
 Walcott has declared his willingness to box Lavigne at the Farragut club at 1S5 pounds.

 New York, Aug. 2S.-The Yumuri, which arrived today from Havana, brought some news, though little of the actual state of things at the seat of war could be learned at Havana. One of the Yumuris passengers, however, confirms the report that two expeditions had re- gently landed at Santa Clara; also, that the insurgents had blown up several bridges and were carrying on vigorous conflict with the Spanish troops. Neither Sanguilly nor Aguerre were on board the Yumuri, although they expected to take passage by that steamer for New York.

THE DAIRY.
RNSILAGE.

EnsiIaging corn and other forage
crons has demonstrated it's value and
is here to stay. It is now a question
with the individual dairyman and
farmer whether or not he will keep up
with the procession. The Farmers
Voice has devoted considerable space
to the subject for years, knowing that
the adoption of the silo was in the in
terest of the dairyman and stock
breeder. Easilage is almost an essen
tial to the COW and is useful for feeding
swine and sheep and even f%attening
steers. The size of the silo, of course,
depends on the size Of the herd. The
Michigan Experiment Station advises
to allow, eight square feet of horizontal
area per COW tor winter feeding and
five square feet for summer feeding.
The foundation of the silO had better
be of stone (stone walD with a Il 1Or OF
cement. Put up 2x4 uprights pretty
close together, and nail on the inside;
then cover with tarred paper and nail

tarred paper, however, on the outside.

tween the walls. AS we have frequent

when the ear is in a glazed state, cut

BUILDING OF MONUMENTS.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer
CHARLOTTE, N. 9.
One question which is only second in
Importance to u people, and should
be first, is and has been claiming the
attention of the people of North Caro-
lima, viz shall we ignore the patriot
ism of those who stood as a wall of fire
from 1876 to protect the sacredness
of Southern homes and preserve the
right Of local selfgovernment. Do these
people who oppose the erection of
monuments to commemorate the vir-
tue, love and patriotism Of the bravest
and best people who ever fought for the
preservation of liberty, do so on the plea
that they were unworthy of being hon
ored or that their cause was not Just ?
Do they, by refusing to honor the mem
DRY of those who protected their moth
ers and their own infancy, say that the
Confederate soldier was a traitor, and
should have been hanged like a dog,
and should have had the burial of n
who did not deserve the grateful re
membrance of succeeding generations9
1t appears that the judgment of the
worlds mo patriotic men sinc3 the
dawn of civilization is to be set aside
and the vaporings of dolts is to be sub
stltuted What! oppose the erection

brute instinct, which has some show of
affection for it's dead-that is unwiII-

perpetuate the memory of those who
gave their lives for the cause of truth
and home. The man who is not proud
of the deeds of North Carolina soldiers
in the late war, and condemns the hon.

FOR MILK OR BEEF.

The Farmers Voice firmly believes
that the animal should be specially
selected for any sp6 cial purpose; that
if milk and butter are wanted, it is the
highly developed dairy COW ~thatshould
be selected, and that if beef is wanted,
we should tie to the heavy breeds. But
this does not mean that we should neg
lect to ascertain what q ShOrt-horn,
Hereford or Polled Angus will do at the
pail and at the churn. There are won
derfully good mixers among the beef
breeds. There have been Short horns
that have made fine records as mixers
and butter producers. There is one
record of a typical beef COW that gave
5, 562 pounds of milk and produced 262
pounds of butter. That is not q bad
record for an ideal beef animal. An
other Short horn 20 has a record Of
5000 pounds of milk that was rich
enough to make 385 pounds of butter.
Individuals of other bee breeds have
made similar records. Cows of this
character may properly be called gen
eral purpose cows. But these instances
by no means make it desirable to select
the beef breeds for the dairy. They
only suggest that it is wise to test the
individuals in a beef breed, especially
to see If the milk is not rich even if the
quantity is not up to the standard of a
first class dairy COW. Some of the rec
ords made by this class of COWS, as
with some strictly dairy COWS, have
been made by over feeding, always q
damaging thing to do. What we mean
by saying that the COW should be tested,
is a test that will show what she will
do, with ordinary care and feeding
We should get out of a COW all that
there is in it under natural conditions,
and seek for nothing more.
