Enfield, n g., Nov. 1S.-(Special.)--
San act to be entitled IAN act to incor-
porate the Bank OF Enfield was passed
by the last Legislature. The stockhold-
ers OF said institution met in Boyd &
Young's warehouse this morning and
unanimously elected Geo. 3. Curtis
president and w. II. Mcdonald cashier.
1t WAS decided to at once begin the
erection OF a suitable banking house
with vault. The Bank of Enfield will
be open for business January LIST next.
In addition to this step forward, En-
field is making strides for improvement
in other directions.
A joint stock company is contemplat-
ing the erection OF a large hotel with
all modern conveniences. DIR. Harrison
expects to hang up his stocking next
Xmas Eve in his handsome new resi-
dence nearing completion.
A reliable merchant here, who is not
tobacco dealer, tells me that one of
his customers recently put load Of to-
Bacco on sale in neighboring local mar
ket and being dissatisfied, his tobacco
was shipped to a Virginia market and
not bringing full value, as he thought,
this same lot of tobacco was shipped to
Enfield where it was disposed of to
advantage.
The next time your Mr.. Hardy comes
to Enfield, of course he may recog
nize our town in her new clothes, but
he will be compelled to exclaim: "Child,
you certainly have grown"

A REUNION.
Chatham Record.)

There will be a reunion at Siler City
on next Saturday of the survivors of
Company G, Goth n. G. regiment. The
object of this reunion is to give the
survivors of that company an oppor-
tunity of meeting their old Captain, A.
X. Johnson. Shortly after the war, in
1866, Capt. Johnson moved away from
Chatham, going out west, and had
never returned until a few days ago.
For many years he has resided at JEFF
ferson City, Mo-, and holds a response
BILE position in the penitentiary at that
place. After so long an absence it is
natural that he should be anxious to
meet again his old army comrades, and
it will be an equal pleasure to them to
meet him. This reunion will be held
on the very spot where the old COM
pany was organized over SO years ago.

Cables were @ dis tinct disappointment, and while crop in- telligence was of generally bullish pur- port, there was a disposition on change to turn attention rather to the move ment which, according to forecasts wired from the south, Is soon to be a large one. Liquidation became a feature quite early in the morning and con tinued so throughout the day. At the lowest point the market showed a net loss of 10@14 points, Selling was quite general, but led by southern orders with Liverpool advices, also quite liberal on the southern side. The local traders on the decline were disposed to be con- servative. Just before the close one house bought 5000 bales January at $50. The market closed barely steady at net decline Of 11@14 points.

It is difficult to under stand why the market does not develop and usalntain an undcpnone of greater Strength. However, current prices are relatively low, and nearly everything In the situation appears to flavor an ad- vance in values, except the absence of the speculative buying power.

If reports regarding the condition continue as un- favorable as at present, 1t seems more than likely that they will ultimately exelIt their legitimate influence upon dhe senItiment of .he trade and result in a de- cided increase in the demand, both for consumption ard speculation. Advices from Liverpool this morning were dis appofrting in character, an advance in that market having been looked for, whereas futures closed alt net decline of froGn1s11l to points. This resulted in am operIing decline here of from to 10 points under considerable pressure to sell, both for southern account and for account of local opera tors who bought yesterday in anticiEation of a further recovery. At the decline, however, there has been fairly good buying from out side sources for account of people who consider that cotton on its merits is cheap. J. P. MUDD & co.

Cotton Letter

New York. Sept. 2s.--Liverpebl fur nished a great surprise this morning. That market, which was expected to be higher after opening, lost the advance and was PIE to 8 points lower by the time our market opened. This report utterly discouraged the bulls and prices here opened 8 to points down, January selling on the first call at 6.52. Thers was a fair demand at the decline and the market steadied after the opening. January advanced to 6.55. Receipts continued vsry hsavy. however, and this together with Liverpoors discourag- ing attitude, proved too much for buy CTS and the rally was not sustained. The market sagged slowly and closed barely steady with 6.50 bid for January. Prices in the southern markets also had @ downward tendency. The decline to- day had eradicated the more cheerful feeling of the last two days and the market appears hsavy. Crop accounts are still unfavorable, but apparently do not enter into the calculations. stt

Dry Goods.
 New York. Sept. 23.-The dry goods market shows no features of moment, the dullaess of the week being fully as marked as at the opening. Neverbhe- less, for everything except print cloths the market remains steady. The mar ket shows a tendency to weakness, but it is thought trading will be heavier at slight increased price for extras. Jobbers are expecting a Hull after the heaviest run of business in several years. Woolen goods are firm and in steady re- quest on recorders Silks are in flair demand at advanced prices Reports from out of town show a universally good distribution at second hands and at retail. The fact that an epidemic of fever has been averted in Texas and Louisiana has resulted in mail orders which show a resumption of trading to be probable at an early date. Staple cottons are in quiet request at unchang- ed prices.
