beaufort Herald.)

Mr.. III. B. Hardy, of the News and
Observer, made us a pleasant call this
week. Mr.. Hardy is always a pleasant
visitor to this sanctum as is the valued
paper he represents. They can say all
they please about the News and Obser-
yer and Josephus Daniels it's editor, yet
we notice that the paper still moves on
following the even tenor of it's way. Raj
eigh has never had better paper than
the News and Observer and it is the
worst enemy the Republican party Of
North Carolina ever had.

New York. Jan. S.-The close of the
week finds the dry goods market in a
thoroughly unsettled state. The sales
in all cotton lines lave been unsatisfac-
tory. Although the wooden goods divi-
sion is we'll sustained. the general mark
ct shows poor results on the whole.
Jobbers have attempted little and have
not been surprised at the result. They
anticipate heavier trading in new spring
lines next week, however, basing their
beliefs on the aIvices of retailers who
are planning trips to the metropolitan
market

COTTON.

New York, Jan. S.-The cotton market
opened quiet and steady with prices I'M
changed to l point lower, ruled quiet
with scarcely hairs breadth variation,
and at II o'clock was dull at point net
decline. Sales to that hour were 1900
bales 1t was n local market entirely
There was nothing in English news to
stimulate ventures on either side of the
account, futures at Liverpool being
steady but without important change in
prices, while spot cotton at that point
was slow and featureless.
AS the market drew toward the close
trading picked up little and prices ru-
led steadier The market was finally
qui4t and steady at net unchanged
prices to / point advance, with total
sales of %, 700 bales. Port receipts
estimated for the day at $4,000 bales,
against II, AT last week, and 20, 1874 last
year. Port receipts estimated for the
week at 100000, against 293,849 last
week, and 147,147 last year. At Mem
phis 2,935, against 615 last year, and
at Houston S.632, against 4,349 last year.

RIGHT is RGAT.

North Cardinals reputation in finan-
cial circles ever since the ''carpet-bag-
gers" and ''scalawgs" were driven from
power in 1876 has been free from stain.
Its obIigations-State, county and city
have been sacredly met As a result,
the bonds Issued for improvements have
been eagerly sought for, and sold
at a premium. The recent sale of bonds
of the ity of Raleigh at a premium
of nearly ten cents in the dollar shows
how good was the credit of the capital
city of the State.
The nc ,ements looking to the repudia-
ton of county bonds in several counties,
following upon the decision of the SUI
preme court, have injured the credit of
the State at home and abroad. A State,
a county. or a city will lose character
by reputation of its obligations just as
an individual will. The saving of half
a million dollars by half a dozen coun-
ties will cost the State in it's good name
and credit ten fold more than the saving
effected by resort to a technicality.
A very wise and conservative citizen
said yesterday: "1he reputation of
bonds by these counties has done the
State more harm than anything that has
happened since Reconstruction" We
cannot afford to destroy the States fair
reputation even if some railroad has
acted dishonesty. Right is right. Bonds
issued in good faith and sold to inno-
cent purchasers cannot be repudiated
without inficting a blow on the States
fair name that is as lasting as the Sian
der of a good woman.

At this rate, the old theology will soon
be utterly discarded. The old time reli
gion was stern, but it produced high
types of manhood. Discarding the old
doctrines and substituting an easy reli-
gion will surely produce lower type Of

HAVEN & STOUTS MARKET
LETTER.

| New York, Jan. s.
The Financial Outlook.-The market
now looks as if it was in line for con-
siderable rise. This week has brought
marked degree of activity and a rising
tendency in prices, with a decided de-
mand for securities. Investment buy
ing is reflected in the large transactions
in bonds and the exceptional number
of different classes of securities dealt in.
At the beginning of the week there
was brief period Of speculative hesita-
ton. Large operators displayed a dis
position to wait, which may be explained
by the fact that the Union Pacific pay
ments were not completed, and that un-
til this transaction was finally closed
on Wednesday the money market was
liable to bearish manipulation. With
the final payment by the Union Pacific
syndicate and the completion of January
settlements (which. as we said, would
be over by January 81, a feeling Of ease
appeared inthe money market, and
opened the way lor renewed support
from the hull Leaders A
Congress seems unlikely to take action
on pending currency measures, and 1t
is an open question whether the hope
of railroad interest for the passage Of
the pooling bill viii be realized. These
are the principal matters Of interest sta
business which thus far seem ikelyEto
be agitateu in Congress. That body
can do very little to aid the business
community, and if it refrained from do

The report Of President Harper, Of
the University of Chicago, that five stu
dents Of that institution had actually
died Of starvation, probably inspired
President Andrews's advocacy of giving
free lunches to students. While taking
no stock in the free lunch proposition
generally, we think President Harper
ought to use enough of Rockefeller's
money to keep students alive.

The Brutal Butchery of Cubans May
Continue for Some Time

Washington, March Concern
ing the published reports that the
limitation of time suggested by the
United States to Spain for the paci-
ication of Cuba expired today,
March |, and that the Spanish gov
ernment was now earnestly nego-
tiating at Washington to secure a
two months extension of the time,
an official whose position makes
him completely familiar with all
such negotiations, said: "The re-
port is absolutely false in eyerv
particular. No time limit expires
today or at any other specified
date, and for that reason there are
no negotiations in progress or
contemplated for two months ex-
tension or for any other extension.
The report is an invention through
out"
Recent negotiations between the
United States and Spain have been
confined to the proposed CONNER
cial relations between this country
and Cuba. These negotiations
were carried well along by Minis
ter Woodford and Senor Polo Y
Bernabe, the minister for Spain.
The latter sailed from Gibraltar
yesterday and it is understood that
he has with him the new arrange

Spain concerning her commercial
relations, and the other relating
exclusively to Cuba.
Senior Dubosc will call at the
state department and call attention
to the arrival of the Dauntless at
Jacksonville and the evidence OF
her expeditionary trip. The Spanish
authorities are not likely to press

they are content to place such in
formation as they have at the dis
position of the United State au-
thoritles and allow the latter tC
take such course as they see fit.
