RALEIGH MARKET.
HUBBARD BROS. COTTON LETTEI

HUBBARD BROS. COTTON LETTER.
New York. May 49, Especial Our
market remains without change in
the divers factors, which for some
time past has been maintaining the
value Of the remainder of this crop
and depressing the new deliveries.
The premium on this crop has widened
to about cent a pound over the
prices at which the spinners can OBJ
tain supplies next season, and this
fact, coupled with the poor market
for their products, naturally reduces
their present demand to the smallest
possible proportions. Rains have
fallen in Texas where needed, and
showers are indicated for the South
Atlantic States. in fact, the crop is
obtaining the best state for many
seasons. OF course there are many
chances for crop damage from now to
the end Of the season, but the most
important Of all conditions, a good
stand seems TO have been secured.
Local traders still look for higher
prices on the immediate deliveries,
and are therefore not anxious to be
short of cotton On the other hand,
speculation is not attracted to the
market because of the excellent crop
reports. Support TO the market not
being present in sufficient strength
to absorb the Southern offerings on
the beneficial rains in Southeastern
cotton belt, the market closed barely
steady at the lowest price of the day.
Traders expect a lower Liverpool
market in the morning as a result of
the larger receipts and easy American
markets.

New York, May 13.-The cotton mar

Improvement and closed easy at a net
decline of 40s points. The market
was very weak in the afternoon and
broke sharply. Weak longs became
anxious and sold freely. Selling or
ders from the South were also quite
numerous on fine crop conditions. a
report that freight room had been en-
gagged for $4,000 bales, for June snip
ment made no impression. Larger re-
ceipts taan expected helped to weaken
the market. At the same time there
are further fears of May speculation
and trading has been on conservative
basis throughout the session.

Rifles Shots az Birds.

The new rifles. with their 30-caIibrs

and swans. When these birds are far

shot and Hemp.--A Charleston dis
patch states that the FIRST shot from
stevens battery was fired by the yener-
able Edmund Runir, OF Virginia A
piece OF the first hemp that IS stretched
In South Carolina should be kept for
the neck of this venerable and blood
thirsty Rufiian."
FROM the above quoted expressions IL
would indeed be impossible TO conclude
otherwise than that the first gun on Fort
sumter was shot by Edmund Ruflin, and
that such should be recorded as an his
torical fact. In fact. the above from s.
ID. Lee Is the first intimation OF a doubt
on this subject that has ever been
brought TO the notice or any OF the de-
scendants OF Edmund Rufin. To all who
knew Edmund Rufiin II would have been
useless to say more than that throughout
his manuscript he speaks OF IL as a fact.
To those TO whom he was a stranger I
would say that many more comments Of
the press OF that date establish the same
TACT; those OF the South being loud in
his praise, and those OF the North being
still more yindictiye.

this highly appreciated compliment, that
company had made me its instrument,
&c.
The above, as written at that very
time would fully establish the fact that
the first shot was fired by Edmund Ruff
fin. and 1t will be observed that the sig
nal shot which he refers to at Fort
Johnson, at 4:3O A. NJ, is the same that
$. d. Lee claims as the first shot at
Fort sumter at the same time $50 a.
NJ. Now he. too, might easily be con-
founded, and TO prove that the one from
the iron battery, fired by Edmund Ruff
fin, was actually the first gun on Fort
SUMTER l will give comments Of the
press Of that date.
The Charleston Courier said: 1.-THE
venerable Edmund Ruftin, who as soon
as IL was known a battle was inevitable,
FASTENED over to Morris Island, and was
elected a member OF the Palmetto Guard,
fired the first gun from Stevens iron
battery All honor to the chivalric Nir-

New York Tribune:

The Charleston Mercury says the first
gun fired from the iron battery on Cum

venerable Edmund Rufiin. He subse-
quently shot from all the guns and NOR

restricted TO MasOns IN regular standing,
their wives. mothers. sisters, and daugh-

are twenty-fOur grand chapters In as
many States. with about 100000 mem bers.
.. Nor can We name the founder Of the
order OF Rebecca, which for odd Fellows
is not quite the same as the Eastern Star
Is for Masons. IL was organized I'm 1851
and has now about 1000 members, male
and female. 3. You must go to some dis
