shown in deposits of $10,602, 500. The
actual loss in cash was $685. 300, all in
legal tenders, as the amount of specie
shows small net increase. The heavy
decrease in deposits probably represents
the demand from interior banks, which
have had funds on deposit in New York
banks for many months. The proper
tons of the withdra walls account for the
sudden calling Of loans during the week.
which was attributed in speculative cir
cles to a concerted effort to manipulate
the money market The contra ction in
loans is stated at $2.72S, 300 and this
contraction served to reduce by so much
the loss to the banks in actual cash. and
to save corresponding additional de-
cline in the surplus reserve. The fact
that the decrease in the surplus reserve
is not as large as expected. is due to
this fact and also to the fact that the
legal reserve is brought down $2650,625
by the enormous withdra walls Of dcpos-
its. The contra ction Of loans in face Of
the active speculative demand prevail
emit amply accounts for the stiffeniDG
Of money rates and for the falling off
in speculative activity ON the stock ok
change. IT demonstrates that the sud
den rise in money rates on Monday after
noon was not q manipulative movement
in the bear interest but was natural
reflection of actual conditions. It points
to a speedy further fall in exchange and
to large additional imports of gold, I'M
less the money rate in London and Par
is rise to a point where it would be
more profitable for creditors here to leave
their funds there. 1t explains, also, the
action of two of the city banks. not
usually dealers in exchange in engaging
gold for import early in the week, in face
of the almost unanimous opinion of the
foreign exchange bankers that the opera
ton would yield no profit. The first en-
Of gold was made by the larg-
est of the city banks and was probably
based on its knowledge of the condi
tons operating upon the money supply
The calling and consequent shifting of
loans at the higher rates of interest, has
been the predominant influence in the
stock market, which has been reactiona-
ry all week, with the exception Of one
today.

/ CHANGED to drop in the store of Thos.
Fl. Briggs & Son on business few days
agot and CHANGED to meet two good men,
one Populist from Chatham, and the
other Democrat from Wake. The Chat
ham man was Mr.. r. j. Boiling, of the
Williams Mills section, a sensible and
successful farmer. He told me that his
tobacco crop was good and that meant
better times in the Boiling home. Speak
ing of politics, he said: Il left the Demo-
cratic party because / wanted reform.
We have not got it, but worse. | have
made W my mind to have nothing more
to do with that kind of politics that puts
negroes in office. / am tired of the kind
of government we have and / wash my

The Democrat present was Mr.. w. B.
Hunter, of Neuse, who, like all other
farmers, is very sick over the slump in
the price of cotton. Il know several
PopuIists," he said, "who are down on
fusion and done with it They will vote

A RATHER NOVEL THEFT.
si.ops Taken From the Feet Of a Drunk
en- Negro on the Street.

en- Negro on the Street.
Frank Woods, a young negro who has
been hanging around the streets here for
a long time with no visible means Of
support, was yesterday sent to jaiI-by
the Mayor, on charge of stealing a pair
of shoes. The shoes were the property
Of Robert Register and the circumstances
of the therft were rather novel.
On a Friday night early in September
Register got drunk in Bailey's bar on
Martin street. He left the bar about
IL o'clock with his shoes on and re-
membered turning the corner at Norris
store on Wilmington street. The next
thing he knew, an hour or so later, he
found himself barefoot, walking along
beside Officer Thompson He inquired
for his shoes and the policeman told
him he had no shoes on when arrested.
Next day, Saturday, Register found
mis- shoes on Joseph Davis, who claimed
that he bought them for 80 cents from
another negro, but couldn't tell who; but
when arrested he said il they would
give him time he would find the man.
Frank Woods was pointed out to the
officer by Davis. When the policeman
started toward him, Woods broke and
ran. Since then Woods has gone to
Davis and paid back the 80 cents.
Woods partner" Jack Thornton,
swore that Woods picked the shoes up
on Martin street. But the Mayor didn't
believe him, and so bound Woods over
to court In bond of $75.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 25.-There was no
large and aggressive element in the stock
market to-day and the trading was large
ly in the hands of the re-
actionists. There were few
feeble rallies during the day but
the sagging tendency was for the most
part uninterrupted. Dealings were not
on large scale, nor were they as wide
ly distributed as of late. The rise at
the opening in sympathy with London,
served to restrict the net declines in the
international stocks and London, also,
was q buyer of some stocks during the
day. There was nothing in the general
news to cause a. recession in prices and
the heaviness Of the market has no
other explanation than the withdrawal
of support and the continuance of some
offerings to realize profits. The bears
did some short selling in their efforts to
uncover stop loss orders, but there was
no aggressive general selling manifest
and much caution was apparent in put
ting out short sales. Trading halted
after IL o'clock and waited for the bank
statement The response was not inn
mediate when the statement appeared,
showing some hesitency about constituting
its character. An unfavorable view
was finally ADOPTED and prices drIfted
downward again, closing IN many cases
at the lowest Of the day. In some stocks,
however. there was a final rally of a
fraction. Sugar covered a range of over
two points but closed unchanged. Omaha
lost two points, Consolidated Gas 21h
and many other active shares from one
to two points.
Interest to-day conferred in the weekly
statement of the clearing house banks.
The condition of the money market, at
fer the weeks development was looked
mon as the salient factor in determin-
ing the course of speculation in the i'm
mediate future. The most notable feat
ure of the statement is the decrease

THEY FOUGHT IN CHURCH
AT A SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION DR..
SAM VASS KNOCKED jim YOUNG DOWN.
Or. Vass Denounced Running the Convention
in the Interest Of Politics, and Fight Tn
sued--lim Was Defeated.


A few days ago, Jim Young, owner and
manager of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind
Institution and the State Agricultural
Department, went to Louisburg to at
tend the Baptist Sunday school conven-
ton. He took with him Harry Debnam,
Frank Debnam, Joe Perry new principal
of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind lnstitu-
tom and other henchmen. Delegates
from other parts of the State, it seems,
had become tired of Jim's bossism. jim
was president, and he appointed COM
mittee on nominations, which commit
tee brought in his name for president,
whereupon DR.. Samuel Vass opposed the
report. While DR.. Vass was speaking his
disapproval of using the convention for
political purposes, Jim left the chair
walked up to where Vass stood, as
sumed threatening attitude and said:
DO you refer to me?'
Vass replied: Il mean what l say"
Right there in church, Jim squared
off at him and DR.. Vass knocked him
sprawling on the floor. 1t is said the
doctor was pretty hot and would have
given Jim a terrible beating if the crowd
had not pulled him off.
Afterwards Jim apologized to DIR.
Vass and begged his pardon. DR.. Vass
stated that he had no apologies to make.
Rev. Allen Elton, of Durham, was
elected president of the convention. Thus
Jim was downed, and lost his crown
given him at Parmala hall where he was
crowned king some weeks ago.
1t is said that DIR. Shepherd, of Dur
ham, was the prime mover in taking
Jim's scalp.
And DIR. Leak-Well, he was not cry
ing about it yesterday.

DRY GOODS.

New York, Sept. 25.-1he dry gods
market has shown altogether quiet re-
suits this week, with no prospect of any
immediate advance in the amount Of
trading. Prices are generally firm in all
grades. Except in print cloths there is
no weakening of market perceptible and
in some lines of both cotton and woolens
agents are looking forward to advances,
when heavy supplementary trading be-
gins. In staple cottons the demand is
limited both for brown and bleached
goods. Ducks and osnaburgs are firm
and quiet. Wide sheetings steady Ex-
port goods in very quiet request at very
low prices. Coarse colored cott0ns are
without change or feature. Printed
goods are less dull than other grades of
cottons. Staples are very firm and in
fairly steady demand. Ginghams and
other woven colored goods firm and
steady. Mapped fabrics in goods de-
mand. Wooden and worsted goods are
in steady dequest at fairly well sus-
tanned prices.
