BULLS HAVE a SET BACK IN COTTON
Selling Orders in July Gave Alarm and Caused
Much Liquidation. The Market Soon
Slifened and Close Showed
Lille Net Change.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York June 21.--Buyers still put
ting forward bids for large quantities
of staple cottons, but actual business
less than yesterday, owing to the strong
position of sellers. Print cloths steady
Brown sheetings and drills scarce and
strong. Bleached unchanged. Coarse
colored cottons firm. Prints selling
well. Burlaps steady at previous
prices.
COTTON.
New York, June 21.-While successful
at the start today, the bull forces in
cotton met with something of set
back later and at times showed many
evidences of nervousness owing to the
lack of response by the market. The OPP
ening was steady with prices
unchanged to five points higher, and
during the first few minutes
indications pointed to still further
gains. Liverpool was fully one
point higher than expected and news
from spinning districts proved to be
radically bullish But turn in the
character of foreign news and the APP
pearance of selling orders in July turned
the scale against the market and prices
slowly eased off. Liverpool eventually
stiffened upon fine Manchester accounts
and a large demand for spot cotton in
all European markets. This caused
prices here to work back to the OPEN
ing. But early in the afternoon fresh
liquidation of July long stuff, some of
which appeared to come from the
Clique" gave room holders for alarm
and general selling set in. This move
ment carried July off to S.25, August
to 7.75 and October TO 1887, around which
good buying came in and led to a turn
of shorts for cover. A forecast for con-
tinued dry very hot weather over the
Southwest strengthened bull sentiment
and prompted investment buying for
outside account. Spot cotton holders
in the South were reported to be most
arbitrary in their views and refused
to sell except at substantial advances.
The market was finally quiet and steady
with prices net one point higher to four
points lower.

Washington, August 12.-The state

HI the draft of the final protocol has
been agreed pon A tariff of 5 per
cent. ad valorem, effective, will be put
in force two months after the signing

shipped within ten days after signing
and will continue until the conversion
to specific rates has been affected by
the expert commission The Chinese
free list will include rice. foreign ce-
reals and flour. gold n silver bullion
and DIN This inclusion of flour in the
free list is of much interest, par
ticularly to Pacific coast ship
pers. The American shipments Of
rice and other articles mentioned, are
not very large, and the inclusion of
rice on the free list is chiefly due to
China's needs of this staple food.

CLEANING AND COMMENT.

Hawaii sent to the United States in
1900 products amounting to 5000 s 900.
Great Britain SEN farm produce" to
this country aggregating S32,6O6. 900.
This looks curious as that country Is
the greatest buyer of the United States.
But the Philadelphia Record explains
the seeming mystery by saying that
''the imports mentioned are mainly
coffee, tobacco, sugar tea, raw silk and
other exotics."
The life of the late Empress Freder-
lex was not without unhappiness. But
it Is charming to know that her love
for her husband was genuine. The
crown prince, for such he was until the
death of his father, Emperor William,
many years later. had a true love for
her which lasted all his life. He was
handsome. and in n of his letters he
writes of her with pronounced express
sions of love, and. as a northern paper
on politics and affairs Of state. Frederick
had the true German fondness for fam
lily life, and carefully watched the de-
velopment of his children. whose simple,
thorough upbringing combined the self
denial Of the Hohenzollerns with the
common-sense training of English lads
and maidens."
The republican and northern indie
pendent papers are forever criticising
the south and it's suffrage planks and
plans. They pitch into all the states
that dare to limit negro negro suffra .
which the ablest men in the north de-
clare to be a wrong and a mistake. The
Maryland democrats in their platform
moved ON republican, lines a to ,
frage. They declare that they are
working for good, honest. government,
and "for free opportunities of education
to prevent the control of the state gov
eminent from passing into the hands
of those who have neither the ability
nor the interest to manag public af-
fairs wisely and well.
The Louisville Courier-Journal, which
opposed Bryan in 1896. says Of the
Maryland movement and declaration
h a it lis precisely what the republi-
ans say they propose to do for the
people of our newly acquired islands,
in spite of their denial that they are en-
titled to the constitution until is suits
congress to extend it to them. The
Maryland democrats do not deny tina:
the constitution is in force in Maryland,
but their purposes toward those unfit
to participate in The government are
just the same as the republicans pro-
pose for the "niggers" in the Philip
pines and in Hawaii. The latter island
has, indeed, universal manhood suf-
frage. but it is admitted by the repub-
licans to be a mistake"

ervices rendered to the Confederacy
by North Carolina The clipping be-
fore US does not tell what book IL IS
quoted from. nor do We know what pa
per is considering it The interesting
part is this-that North Carolina fur
nished great army supplies to the Con
federate government-"not only for our
own soldiers but much of which went
to clothe and furnish soldiers from 9TH
er states. Writing of Vance. the great
war governor he say that after the
battle of Chickamauga he sent Long
streets corps 1900 complete suits. and
at General Johnson's surrender he had
$1,000 suits of uniforms and stores OF
blankets, etc. Before the war ended,
he says, hi commissary of North Car
olina was feeding about half OF Lees
army"
Governor Vance had a f~ar-reachfne
vision. He saw ahead. This led him to
buy in England great supplies for his
own people in the war. and the ship
Advance to bring them to Whining
ton. The late Col. Duncan X McRae
went to manage the financial arrange
ments In England necessary to procur-
ing what was sought, and Mr.. John
White ("Scotch John') Of Warrenton,
an excellent merchant and patriot, went
to make the purchases. We know that
in 1866, North Carolina sem many pro-
visions to General Lees army. The
government wagons secured the bor-
der counties of our state.
The Messenger gave an editorial ex-
animation at some length Of the Meath
cry list so soon as it was known here.
1t gave sufficient evidence from vari-
GUS sources to make effective the repli-
cation and to establish the fact of the
greater number of troops as furnished
by North Carolina-125. 900 or more. So
far as we have seen not a paper in the
state valued it enough to copy it or
even to offer any of it's statements, and
but one, we think, even so much as re-
ferred to it. 1t seemed to have been
regarded as of no consequence as to
whether Neathery was right or Gov
ernor Vance was right.

A GREAT ERROR, BUT NOT THE
MESSENGERS.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Greenville Weekly, is surprised that
| The Messenger fell into the error Of
| ~supposing that Neathery's list gave all
that was believed to be the actual
troops from North Carolina in the great
war. If it will examine the document
as it appeared in the Charlotte Obser-
yer, sent to it by Colonel Olds, who re-
ceived it from Major Neathery some
time after the war, it will find the idea
presented that $4,000 was the total. Un-
der the list. as we recall 1t. for we re-
gret that we have no copy, thinking 1t
so superlatively misleading we failed
to retain the copy, there are additions
Of other troops furnished later, as If
completing the whole, and the whole
aggregated but $4,000, or as given 49,
999. The error is not The Messengers
but Major Neathery's. Please examine.
The list was no doubt gladly ~reproduc-
ed in Virginia to show how much the
excess of claims set up by boastful
North CarolinianS as to what the great
state really did in the war. Fifty years
hence that Neathery list will be quoted.
we may anticipate, to establish h fact
that all North Cardinals quota of
troops was not 125, 900 but $4,000. 1t
was a most untimely and misleading
publication, and does great injury to
the state. The Confederate Hand Book
prepared by Colonel Robert c. Wood,
of New Orleans, gives the dead of
North Carolina at 4O,305. The United
States Government War Records puts
1t at over 4, 1000.
Judge James Boyd says he has ex-
amined the confederate archives now In
the war office Of the United States gov
eminent. He says hat his recollection
is hat they give 1920 o regulars from
North Carolina. He says that the rec
ords show Eve quote from the Char
lotte Observers Greensboro correspond
ent) that 'the total loss of the Confed-
crate army during the war was an ag-
gregate of $4,000 soldiers, killed in bat
tie died of wounds and died Of disease,
and that North Cardinals loss was a
little over 80 per cent. of the entire
number. 1t is scarcely reasonable to
conclude, even if there Is not certain
evidence as to the total number fur
nished, that the loss of the state was
more thar half the soldiers she had in
the field"
We repeat that Zebulon 3. Vance
was the great war governor" He knew
all about the troops from North Caro-
lima, and he had the Roster prepar-
ed during the progress of h a In
a speech delivered at h White Sui
phur Springs perhaps twenty years af-
ter peace, before the Confederate Vet
erans, he asserted that his state had
furnished the Confederacy 125, 900 men.
