STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug 29.-Prices in many
prominent railroad stocks show losses
of ST per share and upwards as re-
suit Of the days trading. There was
Il disposition in the early hours Of the
day to contest the decline, and the eff
fort was assisted by several strong fea-
lures in the list. But the persistent
heaviness of railroad stocks and the
manifest exhaustion of the buying de-
mand discouraged the bulls and turned
The scale in favor of the bears. Stocks
in which manipulation by pools has been
recently evident, showed lack of sup
port.
Conspicuous in this class We're Louis

Atchison preferred, Baltimore and Ohio
and Norfolk and Western Several of
the minor stocks which have been un-

severely. Some opposition to the early
heaviness resulted from the active de-
mand for the Republic Steel stocks on
the strength of yesterdays declaration

Mechanic & Investors Union

A State institution of Raleigh, n. g.
organized May, 1893, and managed by
John C. Drewry, president, ]. 5. .Wynne,
vice-president; B. S. Jerman, treasurer;
j. N. Holding, attorney, George Allen
secretary and manager. w. s. Primrose
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 lou
months. The payment of 2 cents per
day, which is 50 cents per month, for
100 months, natures one share of 500.
The loaning 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
company.

COTTON.

New York, August 29.-The specula-
tive movement in cotton today was quite
brisk with the course of the market va
riable, after opening at a decline of to
s points, the opening prices being the
lowest of the day. The early weakness
was due to unsatisfactory cables and
claims Of showers in Texas. Later, how
ever, thirty-one places in Texas repor-
ted clear, warm weather, with no rains.
Crop damage reports We're reported.
The weekly Government crop report
added to the firmer feeling. The up
ward movement was arrested however
by continued heavy receipts ut the ports
in contrast with the small sales of
spot cotton ut Liverpool, while private
cables reported an unsettled feeling on
the part of the English cotton trade
owing to contradictory aGvloes from
this side. During the afternoon the mar
ket was quite nervous and gave way
