bought In the interior today at decline
OF 1-l6c TO Nc.
In addition to the sharp decline at Liv-
erpool cables from the foreign market
stated that serious strikes were threat
ened in the Lancashire district. due to
Z decrease IN wages Of the operatives.
These reports gave the impression that
the trouble could hardly be averted, and
caused some uneasiness among traders.
Should the strikes be inaugurated there
would undoubtedly be a further decline,
despite the fact that cotton Is now selling
at price that discounts even this bear
tHh feature. There is an idea ahoat, how.
ever, that the news from Lancashire was
sent out for the purpose Of stopping tho
bull movement that has been in evidence
this week, and that the extent OF the
trouble has been considerably exagger-
ated.
II one should take statistics into consid-
GRAFTON. the strong position of cotton at
this time would cause an absolute disre-
gard of all NELL crop estimates and Eng
hsh trade fluctuations, Think of 100000
bales of cotton being brought into sight
since the opening of the season without
Increasing the worlds available supply to
any appreciable extent. There are today
only 1,67s,0o0 bales OF cotton (all kinds)
constituting the whole visible supply, or
just $4,000 bales more than have been
brought into sight IN this country.
This shonld certainly Impress upon
every ono the entire dependence of
cotton consumers upon the growing crop
III uhe crop had been as backward as first
Thought possible, nothing but shut down
OF mills could have averted n cotton fam.
Inc. Ii anything should happen to the
crop now In tho fields decreasing the
prospective yield 10000 bales there will
be something akin to cotton famine
next summer. These are facts that have
been disregarded In forcing cotton to the
OASIS OF cents. and may be disrcgarded
Tor some time longer, but they are sure
TO assert themselves before the season

Railw' y,o suit for $40 900 damages, aris.
ing from the killing of James Cliff in the
Wilkes street. tunnel by train of the
defendants cars in July. 1896, was con.
Guided in the Circuit Court for the city
yesterday evening. The case, after ar
gument, was given to the Jury, the
defense, demurring to the evidence.
The case WAS submitted to the Jury at
4:l5 o'clock without argument, and at
5 o'clock verdict in favor of the plain
Tiff, fixing the damages at $3.50, was
returned, leaving the question of de-
murrer to the evidence on the part of
The defendant to be determined by the
court. 10 passing upon the demurrer,
The court stated that the evidence
demonstrated that Gilt had trespassed
on the property of the company, and
lain down on the track, and was also
guilty of negligence. He, therefore,
set aside the verdict. A motion for
new trial was overruled, and an appeal
will probably not be taken.

TO MERcHANTs.-The holiday trade
is fast approaching and shoppers
are already busying themselves as to
what and where TO buy. OF course
they have recourse to the columns of
the Gazette as a guide, aud those mer-
chants who, through their advertise
ments, keep the public advised as to
what they have to sell usually reap the
reward. No better advertising medium
than the Gazette can be had. 1t is uni.
versally read in this city and in the
counties whose people trade in Alex.
audria and those people have for gen.
erations consulted its columns for in.
formation of all kinds.

ANOTHER RoBBERY.-The side glass
in the show window of Mr.. R. W.
French's store. on King street, was
broken last night by unknown persons
and two pistols were stolen therefrom.
The glass was broken with rock
which was found in the window this
morning. 1t is believed that the thieves
were frightened off before they had
time to secure more plumber, as case
of gold pens and other valuable arti.
Giles were within reach. This makes
the second time within year that this
store has been robbed, and the robbery
is considered bold one as persons are
passing that locality at all hours of the
night.

a bilious look if your stomach be dis

have a pinched look. Secure good
