Cotton Futures

New York, May 15.-There was not
much of a cotton market today, specu
Ilatively. Fluctuations barely reached 10
points and for the most part operations
were of an evening up character and
small at that. The chief cause for the
~hesitancy was conflicting crop news,
Though weakness in the stock in an in
direct way helped to check new ven
lures. The opening was quiet and
firm, with prices 8 to 8 points higher,
following tolerably firm cables from
Liverpool and rumors that no rain
had fallen in the drouth sections of the
southwest. Covering inc some for
|eign buying supported the market for
a brief period after the call, out before
the first hour had passed the market
was weak and declining steadily under
selling for both accounts from nearly
all quarters. The change in sentiment
was largely the result of heavy port
receipts, better crop accounts from the
central belt, claims that Neill had in
lcreased his crop estimates 500, 600 bales,
and reports that southern spot markets
were weakening under heavy offerings.
BY midday prices were off to a trifle
below last nights close in the present
crop options and but a trif1e net higher
on the new crop months. During the
Afternoon operations were small and at
most fluctuations were insignificant.
The estimates for tomorrow's receipts
lpointed to no material reduction in the
movement: orders from outside inter-
ests were few and far between; in fact,
1.-THE situation was quite destitute of
new features. On light covering prices
worked up a few points in the last
minutes. The market closes steady
with prices 4 to 6 points higher.

Every body. big. little, old n young,

the Did man was concerned was done
with great earneStneSS.
The old man was always highly in
dignant when anybody criticised his
music. Several years G the Messen-
ger referred to his music as a nuisance,
in connection with a festival that had
gone on two OF three nights in front OF

about music when we couldn't appre-
ciate the playing Of his band.

How Ealeighites Account or on-
days Defeat

The report Of Mondays game in RAJ
leigh as given by b News and Obser-
yer in yesterdays issue, shows their
disappointment at the result and they
are asking "what caused it." The
Senator'S, after successful contests
with several of the teams OF the league,
had grown so powerful in their estima-
ton that it was thought they would
have an "a time with the Giants"
and h feeling was also shared by
some Of the 'rooters"-one OF them
to supply u boys with a fresh egg.
We will welcome the appearance of the
same goose on our diamond Thursday.
The News and Observer in opening its
account of the game says:

Mr.. w. P. Sutch. known to fame as a

PIGEONS RELEASED AT SEA
Four Homing Club Birds We're Let
Loose Fifteen Miles Out-Three Re-
turned and one Mfssing-The Steamer
Marion's Fishing Expedition. IL

The steamer Marion left the wharf
at foot of Market street at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning with a party of
80 gentlemen on board, bound for the
blackfsh grounds on the first fishing
expedition of the season.
The party carried along four carrier
pigeons belonging to the Cape Fear
Homing Club, and when the steamer
got out to sea about II or Is miles from
land the birds were turned loose. 1t
was 7:45 a. m, and n weather was
very unfavorable. with a strong head
wind blowing and heavy clouds how
ering overhead. The party a just
cast their lines over and Mr.. III. B.
Keller was the first 10 catch a fish
and some of the fishermen were aw-
fully seasick. A message stating that
Keller caught the first fish and Mckoy
was feeding the fish, was attached to
the fool of one of the birds. The -four
pigeons flew about 800 yards from the
steamer in a straight line, then circled
beautifully. vaulting higher till they
were way up over the ocean,. 1t was
a pretty sight indeed. Three Of them
made a Decline for land, and one sep
arated from the others and followed
the steamer for some distance and
then flew towards land. Three of the
birds reached their loft, one coming in
at IL a. m, the second at 3 p. m, and
third a few minutes later. At last &C
counts last night the bird with the mes
sage attached a not come in. 1t is
supposed that he was the one that fol-
lowed the steamer in its flight. The
distance the birds had to fly was about
forty-five miles.
The fishermen did not have much
luck on the first rocks. so the steamer
sailed thirty miles below to the rocks
off Little River bar. There they caught
some very fine black fish but h catch
was not as large as usual. The wind
was blowing hard and there was a
heavy swell, causing the steamer to
take high rides and deep swings that
made the boys loose every crumb of
their breakfast. They were only too
glad when h steamed hOmeward and
got into the friendly Cape Fear. She
got back to the city at SIS p. m, but
while the expectations of the piscator-
ialists were not realized they caught
quite a nice lot of fish-not enough,
however, to give latitude to the pre-
varicatorS.

Games

The Raleigh Times of Tuesday says
Of Mondays game at Raleigh between
the Wilmington and Raleigh teams:
After the rooter goose was taken
out of the ball park, Raleigh gave Will
mington a succession of goose-eggs.
The goose Is one of the greatest hoo
docs. With the A. and NJ. college band,
the goose. the 18th day of the month,
and the 18th game of the season, how
could n team win? =
Wilmington has the fastest in-field
in the league. and a team that it will
be hard to bea for the p%ennant. They
are a nice set of fellows, too, and pay
good all-round ball."
The Raleigh Post of yesterday says:
In Stewart Wilmington has a prize.
The youngster pitched a splendid game,
and though the hits made from his de-
livery were long Ones, he kept them
we'll scattered. Stewart is one of the
few pitchers in the league who mas been
able to check the batting ability of
Kelly's Red Birds.
Though the Wilmington lads were
without the service of Captain Stafford
they played snappy ball, and their
fielding was in marked contrast to that
of the locals. Davy Crockett went over
to first. holding down the bag in fine
shape. Delaney did fine work at second
and Clayton put up a fast game at
short.
I'm vain did the cranks look for the
batting squirt which has characterized
the work of the Senatorial aggregation
since the first of the season. But Stew
art had them guessing, INT when a ball
was hit there was a Wilmington man
to meet it either in the diamond or the
outfield.
ITO Wilmington belongs the credit of
doing that which no other team in the
league has Observation-Disclosures the
Red Birds twice on home grounds.
The Raleigh News and Observer of
yesterday says.
The Wilmington team played good
ball. fast ball. gingery ball, and they
walked away from Raleigh with a gait
that was a paralyzer to the grand stand
and bleachers.
mo hoodoo of any kind is responsible
for yesterdays fall down. To play ball
the Raleigh fielders ave got to get a
move on them and not be star. gaZers.
Stewart did good work for the visi-
tors. and it was hard to drive the balls
he pitched out of the diamond. When
they did get out they were up In the
air. and as they came down a Giant
nabbed them. Crockett and "Tacks"
Allen were also in strong evidence as
live ball players. In fact the entire
Wilmington push was as lively as a set
of crickets yesterday.
