RALEIGH COTTON MARKET.
HUBBARD BROS COTTON LETTER

HUBBARD BROS COTTON LETTER
New York, July ESPECIAL -Ah
though Liverpool was lower than ex-
pected, our market showed a resist
ance to unfayorable advices not an
ticipated last evening. The undertone
of steadiness was undoubtedly due to
reports of the deterioration in the con-
dition of the crop contained in the mail
adyices received to-day, and sustained
by the continued dry weather in Texas
and the heavy rains in the Atlantic.
In some places in Georgia six TO eight
inches of rain have fallen during the
past forty-eight hours, and the rain
continues to-day.
Our market responds slowly to those
unfavorable crop reports as they are
received with dncredulity by the out
side public, who expect an enormous
yield, and are indisposed to engage in
any new enterprise in view of the un-
settled condition of trade throughout
the country. What is needed is a great
er feeling of confidence in the stability
of business i'm the future. The official
returns OF cotton goods from Great
Britain for the month of June show
a decided increase over last month of
50, 060, 900 yards of cloth and 3,00s, 900
pounds of yarn. This is the underlying
strength of the market which is sus-
tanning prices in Europe in the face
of the good crop accounts from the
cotton belt. Our market closed steady
al a small advance from LIST evening.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
New York, July Sowing to the
continued absorbing interest of the
financial community at large in the
developments at the National conven-
ton at Chicago, the stock market was
again to-day a perfunctory affair, al
though the volume of business showed
some improvement over yesterday
record. The Industrial stocks divided
the bulk of the dealing, with Sugar
leading in point of activity. The mar
ket as a whole was narrow and the
movement of prices irregular. The
closing was heavy in tone. Railroad

THE SUPREME COURT.
OF the United States Knocks Out Missis-
sippi Levee Bonds.

Washington, April 13.-In the United
States supreme court today an opinion
was handed down in the case of Wood
ruff, trustee, VS.. The State of Mississippi,
appealed from the supreme court of that
state. The case involved the validity of
bonds issued by the levee board of the
state for the improvement of the Mis-
sissippi river, which had been questioned
because the bonds were made payable in
gold.
The supreme court of the state had
decided that the bonds were void be-
cause the law did not authorize the pay
ment of the bonds in any particular kind
of money. The opinion of today was de-
livered by Chief Justice Fuller. The
opinion of the court below was reversed
and the case remanded.
Justice Harlan delivered the opinion
of the court in the cases of John Glib
son and Charles Smith VS.. The State
of Mississippi, tried and found guilty of
murder in the state courts The plain
tiffs in error in both cases are colored
men.
They had sought to have their cases
transferred from the state courts to the
federal courts under section GAL of the
revised statutes, alleging that there was
a denial of justice because no men of
their own color had been summoned to
sit upon the jury. The state courts had
denied the petition for a transfer.
Juice Harlan sustained this decision,
holding that while the statute and the
fourteenth amendment to the constitu-
ton had been intended to secure the
cOlOred race the same justice awarded
the white, the law and the amendments
were only applicable when it was made
to appear that the constitutional enact
ments of the state were of n character
to deny the rights in the state of the
negroes. 1t did not appear that this
was the case in Mississippi, and the
United States court could not interfere
to regulate the methods of procedure
in the state courts.
Justice Harlan also said in the course
of his opinion that it was competent for
the state of Mississippi to prescribe the
qualification of jurors as to intelligence
and morality

The Young Mems Christian association

sented in an able address by Mr.. G. L..

Weak Mined Women" and was power

CHOSE A SAFE PLACE.

Gen. Lee told an amusing story to a
Charlottesville Chronicle reporter. When
he was about to deliver an address at the
confederate reunion in Craig county re-
Gently, some one came to him and asked
him if he would speak to an old colored
man who wished to speak to him. The
general consented and the old negro,
whose name was Sam, and who had
fought throughout the war, came and
received the proffered hand. Gen. Lee
at once began to put questions to the old
fellow, who answered with wonderful
skill. The general then asked him where
he had seen the best time during the war?
Eat Chickamauga," at once replied the
darby, because ran as soon as the fir
ing began"
"But how did you know which way to
run in such hot battleW asked Gen.
Lee, with merry twinkle in his eye.
81 went directly to the safest place, and
the first | could fnd," answered Sam,
coming to his climax.
Again he was asked how he could tell
which place was safe.
II knowed it was safe" answered sam.

ginirils was."- Charlottesville Chronicle.

WE CAN'T LAST FOREVER


But we may prolong our continuance on
earth by keeping in good working order
the physical organs which providence
has vouchsafed to us. Among the more
important of these is the liver. Either
through neglect or provocation, let this
great secretive gland remain in or get
into disorder, and you will soon find an
Asiatic change in your complexion, you
will feel very uneasy in your right side
or under the right shoulder blade, your
tongue will take on AN unreasonable
coat of fur. sick headache and nausea
will ensue. Don't resort to powerful
purgative but begin and pursue a course
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Then
you will get well speedily and thoroughly.
This great household remedy for bilious
ness also relieves and cures malarial and
kidney complaints, constipation. incipient
rheumatism, dyspepsia and the iniirmities
begotten by an enfeebled condition of the
system. 1t promotes sleep and a tranquil
state of the nervous system.

AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT.

Washington. April 12-An unusually
early adjournment is being predicted by
the Republican leaders in both houses
and every sign points to the fulfllment
of their prophecies. No congress in many
years has made the record for the trans
action of routine business which stands
to the credit of this one, so far as the
lower house is concerned. at any rate
With all of the regular appropriation bills
except two already passed by the house,
with one of those remaining, reported
from the committee and likely to be
passed with only a day or two of debate,
and with the other in process of prepa-
ration, the house leaders are placing the
limit of this session at the LIST of June,
allowing, as they think, sufficient time
for the senate to take care of the i'm
portant bills sent to it from the house.
No other business except the regular APP
preparations is so absolutely necessary
to be done, and although the house may
take up some of the more pressing gen
eral matters, such as settlement of the
Pacific debts, the statehood and bank
ruptcy bills, it is expected many other
minor matters will be passed over in the
interest of an early adjournment. 1t
seems probable that the house will have
passed the last appropriate ton bills before
the LIST of May.
The senate committee on appropria-
tons is well up with its work on the APP
preparation bills and the senate is not
far behind its committee.

THE LINES DRAWN

The announcement of Mr.. ]. Woods
Smith, in Sundays issue of The States
man as candidate for the legislature
caused considerable talk on the streets
yesterday. The politicians construed it
as being Il case of throwing the gauntlet
down to Representative Ward, inasmuch
Mr.. Hill. who is also from the country,
has announced his intentions of running.
This makes two men from the country
and Mr.. Wards friends say that the
line has been drawn as between Mr..
Ward and Mr.. Smith, and it now re-
mains to be seen as to who can win out.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-04-16

1t is the general opinion that the gem
eral appropriation committee can COM
plete its work on the bills to be consid-
cred within three or four weeks time, and
it is possible for the senate to finish them
by the middle of May. 1t is admitted on
all hands that if adjournment is reached
as early as the majority predict and
seem to desire, great many questions
which it was hoped the session would
dispose of, will be left suspended in the
air, as it were.
Among them are the bankruptcy, Mica
raguan canal, Hawaiian cable, Pacific
railroad, fur seal and New Mexico and
Arizona statehood bills, besides the Mon
roe doctrine resolution, the Dupont cleo
ton, the Alabama investigation, the va
rious financial bills and resolutions and
the general bills reported and to be re-
ported from the committees on commerce
and pension and public lands.
