RALEIGH MARKET.
HUBBARD BROS. COTTON LETTER.

B1DBAlAD b1NO1, 0OIlDA LlIl Eli.
New York, May .-(Special) For
eign advices we're disappointing to-day,
leading to decline on the opening Of
the market, caused by the accumula-
tion of stop orders, on the basis Of 5
cents for August.
There was support, however, given to
the market Immediately, especially by
the sellers of last week, and prices
gradually rallied above the closing
rates of Saturday.
Amongst the local traders the feel
ing is averse TO the selling of any sum
mer positions on any account, and buy
ing orders are, therefore, difficult of
execution, except at relatively higher
prices.
The Bureau report was without i'm
fuence being about as expected
Though the proportion Of contemplated
acreage is in excess of last season, it is
expected that the June acreage report
will show larger increase in the acre
age than 1913 per cent. over last sea-
SON. 1t is the concensus of opinion that
Texas reports point to increase of 20 per
cent, instead of Is per cent, as given
by the government. After the recent
decline the traders look for a reaction.
Liverpool adyices are expected to
show some improvement in the morn
ing, and the buying to cover August
continued during the day. There was
q supply OF the new crop deliveries,
which seemed to come from the bulls
IL this crop. Traders look for an i'm
proyement tomorrow Welcome rains
have fallen in Texas yesterday and to-
day. HUBBARD BROS. q co.

GREAT RELIGIOUS REVIVAL.
Just Closed at bowling Green-Po-
IiicnI Points.

ROWLING GREEN, VA, March 90
Especial 1.-THE revival services which have
been in progress here at the Methodist
church under Evangelist Lewis Brans-
ford. of Danville, for the past ten days,
came to a close last night. 1t was the
greatest revival OF religion known In the
history OF Bowling Green There were
sixty-fve converts. while those who came
forward acknowledging that, although
church-members. they had not been true
TO their vows. and wished 70 reconsecrate
themselves to the service OF Christ, num-
bered about 100.
BUSINESS HOUSES CLOSED.
Never has such interest been manifested
in any religious movement In this town
as in this revival The business-houses OF
the place were closed during both morning
and night services. and so great were the
crowds at the night services that stand
ing-room could not be had, even the alsles
and chancel being thronged
There is no doubt that Mr.. Bransford
has done a great work for this commu-
nifty. He is a preacher Of wonderful In
Auence and power, and is fearless and
outspoken In his denunciation OF the sins
OF the day. Just to show how much in
terested the people have been. there were
four services at the church yesterday,
the closing day. In the morning at nall
past 9 o'clock young mems prayer-meet-
ing was held: at half past ~ praise
and thanksgiving service; at young
peoples meeting and the regular services
at night. A collection was taken up
amounting to 500, for Mr.. Bransford.
