Who WILL GET IT2.
The Schools Or the Creditors
After $1,000 Forfeit.
Jake Resnic Under Bond For Couff, Fails to
Appaar, Leaving Clash Behind

A knotty and interesting case now,
comes before the referee in bankruptcy
in Fayetteville, and on the decision rests
the disposition OF 81 800
Jake Resnic, charged with setting fire
to his store in Maxton, was bound over
to court under a $1,000 bond In order
to give this bond he put his stock behind
the bonw, putting a mortgage on it as
an evidence of good faith.
But court has come, and it is reported,
that Resnic has disappeared, and the
call of his name evoked no response.
This forfeits his bond to the State.
In the case of forfeited bonds the law
of North Carolina provides that these
go to the school fund. This being the
case the school authorities represented
here expect to handle the 81 500 forfeit
money.
But another issue has arisen, and this
is what becomes of the creditors of Res
mic, whom he owes for goods which he
has purchased. These are to be con-
sidered in the case in Cumberland, and
they propose to make a hard fight for
division Of the $1,000 among themselves,
While the school authorities are not in
clined to yield their claims.
The purpose of the creditors is to meet
and have Resnic declared a bankrupt If
this is done then they propose that the
referee in bankruptcy take hold of the
matter, have the goods disposed of, and
apply the proceeds first to the cancella-
tion of their debts, and then the re-
mainder, if any, to the purpose of max
ing good his bond.
If the creditors have their way, the
Resnic bond will turn out to be straw
bond and the State will have nothing
to claim as a forfeit. In this case the
school fund will miss just 81 500.

H. AND B. BEERS MARKET REPORT.

New Orleans, La, Jan. 13.-Early Liv-
erpool adyices were disappointing, but
subsequently buying orders from Ameri-

opened c to points higher The easi-
ness which developed in Liverpool later,
caused a break Of II to Is points from
the top here being accelerated by the
heavy New Orleans and Houston esti-
mates for tomorrow Near the closing
fresh bifying and the absence Of sell
lers superinduced Slight rally. making
the net loss 1 point on the day. Messrs.
r. It. Wilson and Company's estimate of
9.4l5,000 proved to be a surprise to the
trade 1t was so absurd that it was
ridiculed by operators and discredited, as
was amply shown by the course of the
market The movement on its face
points to a crop OF 10, 200 0O0, and al
though it is claimed that there is less
cotton held in the South than last year
the in sight figures do not corroborate
these reports. Last year at this time
similar claims were made, and advices
of like nature circulated yet the out
turn was 100000 more than the popular
opinion prevalent then. Reports Of
shortage in Texas are conceded by every
one as that State TO make crop of
5000, coo must market from now out
$50, 600 less than last year The States
outside of Texas, 1t is claimed, however
hold considerable more. off setting any
deficiency in that State, and adding to
the amount to be marketed for the bal
ance of the season. The legitimate fea-
lures of supply and demand viii regulate
values in the future, and not theorys.
We therefore, advise our friends to be
guided by them entirely

Crop Year.

1t is 20 be noted that the most sub
stantial variation shown by their figures
was in the year 1S99-1900, when it is ad-
mitted that although the commercial
crop turned out to be 9,436,000 the
amount of cotton actually grown did
not exceed 100000, the balance having
come from the surplus held over from
the previous unprecedented large pro-
duction. Upon the average for the past
eleven years, Messrs. r. T. Wilson &
Co.'S estimates have been within 100000
bales of the actual out turn.
Notwithstanding the fact that the bears
violently assailed the credibility of
Messrs. r. T. Wilson & Co.'S estimate
there seems no reason in my mind to
doubt it's substantial accuracy, and
every proof to which I can subject it
fully bears out the figures that they
have published. They are moreover
practically sustained by such authori-
ties as the United States government
Messrs. altman, Alexander & Co., the
New York Journal of Commerce, Messrs.
]. H. Parker & Co. and by my own fig
ures, published on the 25th of Novem-
Der, which represented the most exhaus-
tive investigation that / had been up TO
that time able to make. ] am new pros
pecting a fresh inquiry with a view Of
determining the comparative stocks of
cotton held at all the Southern towns
having a population Of more than three
hundred people. An effort has been
made to disparage Messrs. Wilson &
CO.. estimate by putting emphasis upon
the present relatively large movement
of cotton, which is running on scale
equal TO that of last year, when the crop
turned out approximately 10,400,0O0.
