RALEIGH COTTON MARKET
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

New York, August 29.-The prin-
cipaI motive power in the stock
speculation. to-day was the Gov
ering of short contracts by the profess
sional dealers, influenced by the inn
provement in the financial situation,
based upon the gold importations.
News of further engagements to-day
brought the aggregate, including the
actual arrivals, to $13,850,0 900. The bank
statement, as on the week previous,
was much less unfavorable than had
been anticipated. the reserve showing
a decrease of less than 100000. The
exhibit caused something of conflict
of opinion among experts.
The closing was at the top level, with
fractional gains generally.
The bond market was quiet and act
i've to-day, speculative issues being spe-
cfally strong. Sales amounted to $e49.-
900.
During the week the market was
very weak, many stocks declining.

HUBBARD BROS. & co.'s LETTER.
New York, Aug. 29.-(Special, THE
kets are now feeling the effects of
the pressure of the large receipts OF
early cotton at the Southern ports, and
declined on both sides of the Atlantic
on the fear that the weight of cotton
may prove more than the
market can sustain, weaken
ed as they are by the
American spinners and spectators
who usually are large buyers at this
period of the season. Throughout the
cotton belt the weather has cleared off
cool, and there are no signs OF any
approaching storms to bring forth
rainfall to the South. 1t is difficult to
forecast the point at which crop ac-
counts will check the present decline,
as the markets have become so unset
tied that merchants are without de-
cided convictions, and are apparently
awaiting spinners to manifest some
disposition to absorb the receipts.
With this hesitancy, the immediate
factor, namely, the receipts, has more
weight at the moment than fear of the
reported short crop.

A CUBAN SCHEME

There may and there may not be truth
in the report that this government is
trying to secure the independence of
Cuba on the basis of the purchase of the
island by the insurgents, they issuing
bonds therefor, with the United States
as the indorser General Grant favored
such scheme when he was president,
but Spain positively refused to enter
tain the proposition, and it is not at all
likely that the Madrid government
would be more favorable to such a bar
gain now than it was then. But, any
way, it Is not the business nor the mis-
sion of this nation to guarantee the
payment of the debts of other countries.
II recognizing the helligerent rights of
the Cubans would enable them to Sc
cure their independence, the United
States should not hesitate to do 1t, but
it is quite another thing to obligate this
country to pay hundreds of millions of
dollars to establish republic in Cuba
The debt of Cuba is rot far from $780,
100000, and before the present revolu-
ton was started the island paid s25 ,OOO,-
600 annually into the Spanish treasury
Were the Cubans to buy the country
they would have to assume the debt and
probably pay as much more in cash or
its equivalent, making the total pur-
chase price fully $1,000, 900 900. Should
this government indorse any part of the
purchase price it would have to indorse
it all. The bond debt of Cuba is not
lien upon the island directly. The bonds
on Cuba as last resort security, and
Spain would hardly part with the coun-
try without receiving a round sum of
money besides being released from re-
sronsibility for the payment of the
bonds already issued. But in no event
should this government undertake to be-
come responsible for Cuba's debts. If
we very much need the island, let us
go and take it, which we could do at less
than one-tenth of what we should have
to pay ultimately, for we certainly
would have to pay the debt and take the
property If we were to become respon-
sible for the young republics cash OBJ
legations.

and organization of their party. whereas
in fact, their purpose was to tear down
their political home and rebuild 1t in
dependent of and separate from even the
appearance of having used the frog any
where, even in the most obscure part
of the most distant clubhouse.
That the destruction of the old home
of the party-the old home in which the
the disgust of the gentlemen members
of the family-is thorough and complete
there is no doubt whatever. One has
only to look at the returns of the last
election to see how desolate the old site
is. And although the croak of the toad
is still heard, it has no one but its own
Shiny self to listen to its hideous noise.
Will it go back to tadpole life for COM
panions? Hardly. Even polliwogs
would draw the lire at that point.
But, anyway, the fact remains that
the Democratic party of Southern Cal
iforna is under obligations to the Los
Angeles Times for making it possible for
Bryan to carry off round majority of
the votes, and for the capture of the two
congressional districts. There is no
doubt at all that had the Times not at
tempted to drive the rank and file of the
Republican party as an African slave
fy.oJ ar d,.;y nj had II
kept in line with the wishes of the party
on the money question, the southern half
of the state would have given large
majority for Mckinley and returned Re-
publicans from both congressional dis
tricts. And yet the Republican party
was entirely justified in suffering itself
to be defeated. 1t knew by experience
that the support of the Times would do
H. incalculable harm, and it was driven
to aid in it's own defeat as the only pos
sible way to get rid of the baneful influ-
ence OF tine Daily Poison. The meaning
of it all is that the Republican party
wants the world to know that the Times
is in no sense the friend much less the
organ. of the party, and that the sup
port of the Times in any political con-
test insures the defeat of every candi
date whose cause it espouses. In other
words, the majority of the Republicans
of Southern California will cooperate
with the Democrats against any Repub-
lican whom the Times supports, for they
will consider him mere tool Of a would
be rule or ruin kind of boss.

not believe it would be expedient to

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-Apro-
pos of the production of Shakespeare's
AS You Like 1t at the Los Angeles the
alter on Wednesday evening. November
18th, it is interesting to note what the
San Francisco press thought of the pro-
duction as given by Julia Marlowe Ia
Der and Robert Taber at the Baldwin
theater. The Call says: AS You Like 1t
was the play presented by Julia Marlowe
Taber and Robert Taber at the Baldwin
theater last evening, and highly ar
tistic performance the Tabers gave of
1t. In the whole range of Shakespeare's
heroines there is scarcely more diff
cult character to properly present than
Rosalind. The absolute purity and Gel
icacy of the character are apt to gen.
crate into carelessness or to become per-
verified into hoydenishness in the hands
Of an artist who has not a touch of ge-
MUS. Julia Marlowe Taber has the nee
essary qualifications for an ideal Rosa
lind. AS an eye picture she was delight
full In her russell doublet and hose and
her pomegranate cloak, but, what was
more important, her characterization
left little If anything to be desired. She
seized the mischief and daring of Rosa
lind without losing sight of her womanly
tenderness and romance, and in her
scenes with Orlando there was an inno-
