RALEIGH COTTON
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, August S.-The stock market
tt day was even duller than yesterday,
a nd the movement of prices was trivial
a, ad insignificant without any important
e. lception. The room traders sold stocks
IL the morning impelled apparently by
t he heavy volume of gold to be exported.
J Estimates were put out that the amount
of shipments today and tomorrow would
mount up to over $4,000 900. When it
was seen that the total would exceed
$4,000, 900 the room shorts covered. The
market closed practically lifeless near to
last nights level. Yesterdays advancing
tendency in United States Rubber was
contested, and that stock was quite ae-

the latter suffering from the delay in
publication of the annual report which
has been promised at various times The
large American subscriptions to the new
British Exchequer bonds continued to
absorb large amount of discussion and
surmise in Wall Street. AS an evidence
of the large resources of capital available
TO the country, the incident was gener-
ally accepted as subject for national
congratulation, but as an evidence of the
acute pressure to which the London money
market is being subjected and possible
results on the world at large of this con-
dition, 1t was not regarded as reassuring.
1t is evident from the public criticism in
England of the large allotment made to
the United States and the apologize
tone of the explanation to Parliament by
the Chancellor of the EXchequer, that
the policy adopted was forced by money
conditions which might almost be classed
as embarrassed.
The real cause looming big behind the
movement of gold is the expenditure and
preparations for war, shown by the ef-
forts to replenish the national treasure
chests. Tomorrow shipments of gold to
Paris show that that center is still in
competition with London for the preci-
Gus metal and the plling up of reserves
by the Bank of France is now common
ly accepted as a preparation for Rus
sian loan, said to amount to 5000 900, 900.
The news of renewed attacks on the le-
cations in Pekin, the progress of HOSTILE
ties involved in the march on Pekin, and
the language Of the Queens address in
proroguing Parliament all gave force, and
contributed to the profound dullness in
securities, not only in New York, but in
all the great financial markets.

COTTON.
New York, August S.--The cotton mark
ct showed considerable irregularity and
excitement all day with speculation
heavy. The opening call was favorably
influenced by local. Southern and foreign
buying orders which caused an advance
of one to five points. Public speculative
interest on the bull side was not salts
factory, however, and the local bear
raid soon disposed of the early move
ment. Later urgent foreign and South
ern demand made its appearance and val
ues soon worked their way UP to a level
ten to fifteen points above the closing Of
the previous days figures. A rather
dirnler general Sentiment became APP
parent. The basis for the change was a
degree of conflict in the crop accounts.
The bull contingent also had the ad-
vantage Of small new crop receipts. At
all points they fell below the recent full
average. During the afternoon the fea-
ture of the trading was furnished by the
shorts who lost no opportunity to cover.
There was no rush of new speculative
buying, however. Some of the traders
here, basing their views on private ca
bles predicted bullish Liverpool open
ing tomorrow following reconsideration
of yesterdays weekly crop report from
Washington. The Government report due
next Friday was also feared, and as the
market has thus sustained a considerable
decline conservative shorts preferred to
place themselves in a position for an
unprecedented view of the situation upon
the appearance of the Bureau report
for August, one of the most important
st; tements of the season. Closed very

TROUBLE THREATENED.

Whites and Blacks in Sabine COun-
ty. Tex, Greatly Excited
Center, Tex, Aug. 26-Serious trouble
is threatened between the whites and
blacks in Sabine county. A messenger
arrived here from Sexton with a re-
port that trouble was expected and re-
quested assistance from Center. Six
men left at once for Sexton and others
went there later. The trouble grew
out of letter written by a negro max
ing known a plot to kill Sheriff Will
lam Policy, Daniel Davis, James In
gram and several other citizens. A
negro who received the letter took it
to Sheriff Policy to read for him. He
was arrested on the spot and the sher-
iff took a posse with him and arrested
thirteen other negroes. An examina-
ton is being held at Sexton. Many of
the negroes are openly making threats,
and the number of white men is being
constantly augmented by arrivals from
nearby towns. Sexton is fifteen
miles from telegraph or telephone Of
flee.
From Another Source.
Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. 26. - 1t is
believed a race war is imminent in
Sabine county. The negroes have
posted notices threatening to kill three
prominent white men and are intimi-
dating white women. Peace officers
have been called from adjoining coun-
ties.

All Those Under Orders Will Re
Sent to Manila.
Washington, Aug 25.-The important
development in the Chinese situation
yesterday was the decision OF the gov
eminent not to send any more troops
to China. All the troops now at sea,
amounting to about 1000, together
with those under orders for service in
the far East which have not sailed,
amounting to about 5000 more, will be
sent to Manila. Secretary Root said
that no more troops We're being sent
to China because they were not needed.
1t was stated at the department that
the encouraging condition in China
was the main reason why the orders
of yesterday regarding the troops were
issued.
A dispatch was received from Gen.
Chaffee yesterday, dated Picking, Aug.
10, which was not in response to the
request sent him few days ago to

that reason the Washington officials
feel assured that hostile demonstra-

stated that the railroad between Taku
and Picking could not be used at the
