IT IS stated that the Republicans

is carrying on against Congressman

THE following wholesome advice
from the Evening Leader, of Rich
mond, is in line with a recent edi
torial in The Free Lance or the same
subject, and it is as applicable to the
people of this city and section as it
is to those of the Capital City:
1--WE should like TO see the psople Of
Richmond make New Year resolution
and renew 1t every day in the year and
stick TO IL. that they will purchase their
supplies. as far as possible at home, aud
do what they can TO build up the city
and promote It's interests. Nothing
helps u community quite so much as
loyalty and we need more loyalty IN
Richmond in this respect. Our people
were loyal enough in certain directions
but no Citizen can DO said 80 be entirely
loyal when he gives his substantial
patronage TO outsiders rather than TO
the merchants and Manufacturers at

New York Cotton Futures.
NEW YORK, May 14.-Quotations for cotton futures today were as follows:
 R~k
New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. May H.-The cotton market was steady today. There Is a moderate demand for the staple, but prin- cipally for clear lists of the higher grades and as factors are disinclined to sell the better qualities except with long lists of the poorer grades tackled on. like tails to kite, buyers are not over-anxious operators. There Is fair lot of good cotton in the market but it Is currently held in the manner indicated. Where of fered by itself, factors ask prohibitive prices as a rule. Sales 2,000 bales, includ- ing SJO to arrive Quotations unchanged
 A fair bit of trading in July contracts was noted during the early hours today in the market for future deliveries, but apart from engagements for that month there was very meagre line of business recorded and operators generally evinced very little interest in the situation. Liv- erpool led off this morning with decline of 1-16d on spots and a loss of 2-64d on deliveries but gathered strength immedi- ately Thereafter, under the influence of unfavorable crop reports from this side. The local market opened 1G4 points above yesterdays closing and later advanced 7d9 points, but the market could not hold In the face of the strong bearish senti- ment on this side and values were shaded down slowly until the closing. when prices were practically the same as last night closing figures, May being 746; June, 7.3I Q739; July, 733Q7.34

rock IFS Superiority.
 London, May 14.-Sir Thomas Lip ton returned to London this morning chagrined by the result of yesterdays S race, but he is confident the Shamrock II is the better boat and thoroughly believes something has gone wrong. He is anxious to see her in dry dock
 It is just possible the Shamrock I may cross the Atlantic, but Sir Thomas does not entertain any idea of substituting the old for the new boat in the cup race, being certain that MT. Watsons creation in the long run will prove superior to MT. Flies.
 According to the deed of gift of the Americas cup to the New York Yacht Club. it would appear that the Sham rock l cannot be substituted for the Shamrock II in this years contest for the Americas cup. One clause of the deed of gift reads: No vessel which has been defeated in q match for this cup can again be selected by any club as it's representative until after a con- test for it by some other vessel has in tervened or until the expiration or two years from the time of such defeat"
 The necessary two years have not elapsed. The Columbia and the sham rock I met October 18th. 17th and 20th, 1899, and the next series of races were scheduled in the acceptance of the challenge for August 20th, 22nd and 24th of this year or a week later, if anything should happen to delay the challenger Consequently 1t seems the two-year condition cannot be made available until after the next series of races.
