STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 23.-Affairs in the
stock market took ON a cheerful appear
ance from the opening today, and there
were no material setbacks in the ad-
vance in prices from start to finish,
though the dealings were decidedly ire
cular at times during the day. 1t be-
came manifest at the opening that the
inside interests in Brooklyn Rapid iran
sit were prepared to offer very deter
mined resistance to any further decline
in that stock, which they have not
been doing for some time past. Today
the price was never more than 1H above
last nights level, and was extremely
feyerish all day within range of about
points. But pressure against the
stock was relaxed when the determined
nature of the support became evident.
There was some disposition to cover
short contracts in other stocks which
have shown sympathetic weakness with
Brooklyn Rapid Transit.

A State institution of Raleigh, n. G.

vice president; b. s. Jerman, treasurer;
J. n. Holding, attorney, George Allen

and G. G. Latta, all of whom are direc-
tors.
This is one of the best managed and
most prosperous investment and loan
companies in the State.
The investment plan assures the mem
bers the return of all payments, togeth-
er with profit Of fifty per cent in lOt
months. The payment of 2 cents per
day, which is 60 cents per month, for
100 months, natures one share of 500.
The Ioaning plan guarantees the re-
turn to the borrower of all his payments
less three per cent per annum ON the
amount advanced to him. Both the
investing and borrowing members are
fully protected by the guarantee fund
which promises and agrees to mature the
stock, making the monthly payments for
the widow should death occur. This Sc.
cures the home to the family without
further cost after death. For full par
ticulars read the printed matter of the

COTTON.
New York, Aug. 23.-While the cotton
market was still very active With wide
and at times violent fluctuations. TAX
ing the day as a whole, there was de-
veloped a sentiment of caution which
somewhat reduced the volume of bust
ness and left the impression that views
at large We're wavering. The market
opened rampantly at an advance Of 3 to
5 points with further advance, inn
mediately following, of to 8 points.
The basis of the early upward ynove-
ment was the alarming character of
crop accounts from the Southwest and
more particularly from Texas. A lead
counties with the damage variously re-
ported at from 10 per cent. to 30 per
cent. This, supplementing the official
reports of damage and the absence of
rain in the Washington forecasts, be-
came large factor in the upward move
ment, which appeared to be restricted
only by the disposition to take profits.
The latter at one time turned the market
so that noon found prices off to within
3. to points of the best figures of yes
terday. But again there was a whirl in
the market caused by an influx of out
side buying, and some Of the more timid
shorts had TO cover.
Trading in the afternoon, however, be-
came less active with the best support
from the shorts side Closing pr.ces
were steady at net advance of 6 to 10
points. -

The Aetna Life'S Fifteen payment /:
Life and Endowment Policy in :!
Competition.

These policies issued by the Aetna
enables its agents to offer strong
inducements to prospective insur-
! ants in competition with those of |
other companies. Taking the aver |
age rate of ten leading companies
at an age of twenty-five on the
twenty payment life plan, we lind
that the premiums average S92.63
for a $4,000 policy, or S5,952.6O
! for the twenty years. The Act
mas fifteen-payment life. at the
same age. costs $297.20, or $4,45S
for the fifteen years, the difference
in the premium for full term being
81, 493.S0, equal to dividend of
80 per cent. on the annual pre-
miums for the whole premium pc
riod after the first two years. The
comparison corresponds with this
! for other ages. The simple pre-
! sentation of this comparison ought [
to be a convincing argument when
clearly made. especially IN view of
the fact that paid-up policies are
more favorable to the assured of
the fifteen-year than on the TWEEN
tyyear plan. The large dividend
paid by some of the companies
has long been one of the strongest
} claims made by them. Adividend
of 80 per cent. deducted at the
beginning of the year has so much
to be said in its favor that the !
Aetna seems clearly to be giving I
points to its competitors. {

Furniture Manufacturing Outlook

Amy Burlington capitalist having n me-
chanical turn of mind or a genius for con-
Quoting industrial undertakings will find
an interesting as well as profitable field
of enterprise at the present time in the
manufacture of furniture. Burlington
furniture dealers report that orders for
various lines of goods made a number Of
weeks ago and in some instances months
ago, have been cancelled because manu-
featuring firms could not fiji the orders
and as time progresses the demand seems
to be gaining faster than the supply in
stead of the supply meeting the demand,
The situation as regards furniture is
well illustrated in connection with the ef-
forts of the members Of the Richford Fur
niture company, whose plant was recently
destroyed by fire, to reorganize and rebuild
their works, In speaking of this subject
the Richford Gazette says that tho pros
poets of the furniture trade were never
better than to-day. Under date of oct Il
a wholesale furniture dealer in New York
wrote the company;
II will make a contract with you to sell
at least $50 900 worth of goods pee aInum,
if you are in position to ship that much,
and II you can ship more VIII make a
