H. & B. BEERS MARKET LETTER.
Especial to News and Observer

New Orleans, La, Nov. 19.-Liverpool
was favorably influenced by reports of
damage by freezing and rainy weather
throughout the belt. Our market re-
sponded by opening six to seven points
higher and ruled steady thereafter on bet
ter inquiry for spots, expected small
semi weekly interior and the light esti-
mate for Houston receipts tomorrow. Sub
sequently however, the large estimate for
New Orleans receipts coupled to an easier
feeling among spot holders caused break
of points from the top, making tho net
gain of to points on the day The
anticipation of a small crop estimate by
tho bureau on Deco nher 3rd continues to
prevent selling short speculatively, the
contracts which are furnished being sales
against spot purchasers. Numerous re-
ports of scarcity of cars to move the crop
are being received from all sections and
this combined with holding back in Texas
and restricted buying by exporters is in
strumental, it is claimed, in occasioning
the present moderate movement. AS long
as receipts are light values may be main
tanned but upon any decided increase in
the amount marketed being realized the
chances are prices will gradually seek a
lower level.

New York, Nov. 19-There have been
no further changes in print prices to-
day. but the market is more or less un-
settled for prints. In heavy brown cot
tons home buying has been dull and there
has been little pressing for export. Prices
are good. Bleached and coarse colored
cottons quiet and unchanged. Print
cloths inactive and unchanged Cling
hams firm. Business in cotton hosiery
and underwear quiet at previous prices.
COTTON.
New York Nov. 19.-The cotton mark
ct opened firm at an advance of to Z
points on moderate general buying,l led
by an uneasy short interest Wall
street. the South and Europe picked up
little cotton on the rise and there were
evidences of buying for New England
spinning account. Behind the bear feel
ing was bullish state of English cables,
a smaller port movement than expected,
reports of bad weather in the eastern
belt and more reduced crop estimates
from the South Atlantic States. Soon
after the call the market eased eff slowly
to 7.5A for January under failure of the
early DuylUS 10 uOlU. I1lVeTDUOl refused
to follow our reaction, but worked
steadily upward and closed at about top
figures for the day. Toward midday the
market again stiffened on reports hat
the Carolinas and Northern Georgia had
been visited by a snow storm. Firmer
Southern spots and lighter estimate
for tomorrow's Houston receipts Helped
to support prices, which advanced to
7.59 for January. Then came a large
estimate for New Orleans arrivals to-
morrow with the result that prices oncc
more eased off to the low figures of the
morning. Trading was comparatively
fight in the late session. The weather
South averaged up unfavorably Trade
reports from the Continent as we'll as

electoral campaign. One of the CORE
spondents says: "There is no room
for doubt as to the restiveness, not to
say the spirit of revolt, among the
Unionist members of parliament, who
are already beyond control Of party
discipline. The division lists have
shown this several times in the last
month, and the Right Hon. A. ]. Bal
four, the government leader, has re-
ceived several sharp reminders from
his own followers that his high-handed
defiance Of the traditions and privi-
leges of the House of Commons was
resented by the members without re-
gard to party"
The Balfour referred to is a member
Of the Cecil family, being the nephew
of Lord Salisbury. Our personal opin-
ion is that he is a man of great ability
and of liberal tendencies. Had he his
way, and could he carry his party
with him, we believe he would grant
home rule to Ireland and place Catho-
lies and Protestants In that country
on an equal footing. 1t is against his
grain to act arbitrarily in the House
Of Commons, but the stupid fellows Of
his party push him on to political de-
struction. His lease Of power will
certainly expire at the next general
election unless he changes his program
towards Ireland and South Africa.
The only way to convince the English
Of wrong-doing is to touch them on the
pocket. They are now being heavily
taxed for the laundering policy of the
Tory government, and their burdens
will be increased as time goes on. If
the Liberals can reorganize under
capable leader the English people will
welcome them back. Then they will
have government of the people and
not Of the nobility.

On his forty-seventh birthday ami
versary Ex-Governor John Lind, Of
Minnesota, was presented with low
ing cup of unique design and elaborate
workmanship by the Scandinavian resi-
dents Of st. Paul and Minneapolis, in
Guiding Swedes, Norwegians and
Danes of all political parties. Her
man Stockenstrom, editor Of the Pos

the Swedish language and referred to
Mr., Lind as "the first Establishment
can that ever sat in the United States
congress and the first Swedish-Ameri-
can governor in the United States" In
accepting the beautiful gift Mr.. Lind
objected to the hyphenated name of
"Swedish-American," saying he is a
Swede and also an American, but not
a Swedish-American. II believe" said
he, that if the people from the North
ern peninsula would follow out the an
cient principles which actuated their
Norsemen sires they would make good
Americans and remain good Scandi-
navians." His remark was greeted

Though Patrick Donahoe was not a
trained journalist and never wrote any
thing for the Pilot, he had the faculty
of selecting superior men for editorial
work. Among the first was Thomas
Darcy MCGEE. After him came other
men highly qualified for their duty. In
1870 John Boyle O'Reilly became edi-
tor-in-chief and served in that capacity
for twenty years. After his lamented
death james Jeffrey Roche took his
place and has made worthy successor
of the Irish felon. Patrick Donahoc

tors conduct Of the paper or it's pol
icy," says Mr.. Roche That fact shows
that he had the journalistic instinct
well developed by long experience and
that Mr.. Roche's work was quite salts
factory to him as well as to his nu-
meorus readers all over this continent.
The memory of Patrick Donahoe will
not soon be forgotten. His long and
useful life was benediction to the
Irish race on this continent. He &C.
complished great deal for God and
country, was loyal citizen of the re-
public, true son Of Erin, and faith
full member of the church Of his IA
theirs. In the days Of his prosperity
he was generous contributor to every
cause for the advancement of the hui
man race, but particularly the race to
which he belonged. The results of his
abors are today visible in the city once
notorious for religious intolerance.
Boston owes him deep debt of graft
tude. Largely through his efforts it
has been transformed from a city of
sectarian hatred into city Of brother
ly love. The few bigots yet surviving
his death are looked upon as curiosi-
ties Of animated nature Never again
will be witnessed the burning of con-
vents in the city of Wendell Phillips
and John Boyle O'Reilly. Half Puri-
tan and half Catholic as it is today it
mourns the death of the venerable
founder of the Pilot, and perhaps the
city of his adoption may honor him
by the erection of monument to his
fragrant memory.

UNpopuLAR1rY OF THE cEc1ls.

IT what the London correspondents
say be true the popularity of the
Cecls, father and son, is rapidly van,
isling. The Marquis of Salisbury, us
British prime minister, is an old fogy
of the Tory school of diplomacy who
has never entertained progressive
views while in office His son, Lord
Hugh Cecil. who now sits in the

time the young fellow has been in
tempt of the Radicals and Irish Ma
tionalists by his disdainful references
towards them. His lofty professions
and supercilious sneers at the repre-
scntatives Of the democracy have
aroused the ire of Timothy NJ. Henly,

loose and is not brought to order by
the speaker he will administer to
young Cecil tongue-lashing which
he will not forget to his dying day.
In rhetorical eXcoriation H. NJ. Healy

rThe English corn laws will be re-
pealed and a two-shilling duty will be
imposed on imported grain. That will
make foodstuffs more costly to the
British laboring man, but it will bene-
fit the British farmer in advancing the
price of his cereals. The Irish farmer
will also be benefited, for the price of
his products will go up in the British
market. The artisans and laborers,
however, must receive an advance in
wages to make up for the increased
cost of living. The manufacturers of
the British islands will find it harder
to compete with the exporters of Ger

say that it was read by very few
