The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1900-11-27

Lumberton, that was badly injured by
a destructive fire a few years ago, has
not only risen from it's ashes, but it is
moving out upon new lines of progress.
AS announced yesterday, it is to have
a 800, 900 cotton factory. 1t is a pro-
gressive town in several important di-
rections that some larger towns we
wat of might emulate with advantage.
1t has a good system of water works
(water fit for general uses) and a sew
age system. These are capital exam
pies of observation-disclosures and wise ad-
vancement. The drinking water is ex-
cellent. Behold! 1t has also its tele-
phone communication all about the big
county. And new electric lights are
under discussion. Alive and progress
sive and sensible!

The Messenger congratulates Whar-
ton Barker, editor of the Philadelphia
American, a populist organ, upon re-
ceiving $50 votes in North Carolina as
candidate for president by populist
nomination Tt was not enough to car
ry this state but evidenced the size of
his popularity. That prohibitionist
candidate, Woolley, also got a "hefty|
lift receiving 991 votes. He beat Bar
ker but 20 Bryan. The latter's vote
is 157, 752-not so high as we hoped for.
but shows how North Carolina demo-
Gratis confided In him. Grover Cleve-
lands popularity must not be over
looked. One steadfast believer voted
for him in Wilson county. Grover
ought to remember him in his will. Re-
member hat there we're sixty-two of
the ninety-seven counties that did not
know Barker as a candidate. He must
pick his flint and try again.

MONEY SITUATION GIVEN PROMINENCE Over Five Millions Engaged for

STOCK MARKET WAS ERRATlC

New York, August 1s-The international monetary situation was given considerable prominence in Wall street today, through the engagement of S5,50,000 gold for export to Europe tomorrow and Wednesday. It is admitted that s, 5,OOO,OOO of this amount Is in payment for the British exchequer loan, a 20 per cent installment being due on "Wednesday. Concessions in rates for ster- ling bills were made, demand sterling yield ing A per cent, while posted rates were off h per cent. No effect was produced on the money market by the gold engagements, which brings the total outgo of gold on this movement up to $14,OOO 00OO. It is ex- pected that the circulation of this sum in the European financial centers will produce g relaxation of the tension there.
 Except for a brief interval when the early gold engagements were made, stock prics improved steadily with the gains quite uniform In a number of issues. There were ftfuI spurts of activity and at intervals the strength was most marked in special groups. High priced specialties gave the first indication of strength, but were soon relegated to the background when the metal stocks forged upward Later on the grangers responded notably to the more cheerful crop advices, rain being reported an sections of the corn belt where it was much needed. A large batch of favorable weekly earnings contributed some force to the rise in prices.
 In special stocks exceptional gains were made jump of points in lead preferred being made with as little explanation as the recent drop in that issue. In Lacka- wanna there was a steady demand which eventually carried it up points and strengthened other coalers. Industrial Stocks suffered from the increased interest shown in railroad properties. Sugar closed under Saturdays final price after early strength. London was not factor in the ifarket, although the arbitrage houses took several thousand shares early in the day.
 Opera tions were confined to the board room traders, but some qualification was expressed at the independent movement of Hhe railroad stocks and the prime character of some of the issues participating. In the final dealings there was some dimuni- tion in the volume of business but no inn pairment of the markets strength.
