hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Cation Letter.

New York, June 24.-While Liver
pool was affected by the illness of the
King and lost the largest portion OF
the advance of the morning our mar
ket has been firm and higher. This
strength was most marked in August
and not in the distant positions, which
were expected to respond quickly to
the advices from Texas, where no
rain has fallen. No indications of
rain are given by the government for
the next thirty-six hours. This adj
vance of 20 points in August and 16
points on January has eliminated the
local short interest, so the response
m the government report at noon was
nominal. The crop is doing well
everywhere. outside Of Central and
Southern Texas and portions Of Ala
bama. Rain is beginning to be badly
needed in Texas. Trade in England
will he upset by the postponement or
the coronation. Liverpool should,
however, respond TO the strength here.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. June 24.-The official
announcement of the serious illness
of the King of England and the sud
den decision to postpone the corona
ton Indefinitely was an inevita BILE
shock to the securities markets of the
world. The New York stock market,
however met the shock with great
equanimity and the vigorous support
ing orders placed in the market by
the speculative parties which have
constituted themselves the guardians
of the market soon checked the down.
ward swing of prices with which the
trading began.
London was quite an active seller at
the higher level maintained here, but
this selling was we'll absorbed and
general advances effected within the
first hour of trading. With the I'M
favorable effect of the English news
thus apparently overcome it is diff
cult to say how far the normal con-
dition of the market was restored, and
the subsequent evidences of weakness
might be due to independent causes.
Undoubtedly the considerable liquida-
ton in Amalgamated Copper and Col
orado Fuel had an unsettling effect
on the whole list. This selling was
clearly due to causes quite independ-
ent of the. life or death of the King
of England. Maneuvers by a profess
sional bear party were added to other
causes for the weakness of these
stocks.
Apprehensions of an unfavorable turn
in the copper trade helped the weak
ness of Amalgamated Copper, and the
internal dissension over dividend policy
aggravated the weakness of Colorado
Fuel. These stocks rallied smartly and
aaf 49,,
weakness of the market. Renewed ap-
prehension of the outcome of King
Edwards illness accompanied the late
reaction, following the favorable re-
ports of the operation which helped to
rally the market, but a more effective
influence grew out of the pending of
gold exports which seemed to affect
the market more seriously than did the
pressure of stock for sale. 1t is gener-
ally expected that gold will go out by
Thursdays steamer or on Saturday of
this week. The effect upon the ex-
banded credits in this market and the
narrow reserve resources is awaited
with some anxiety. The market closed
dull and heavy.
Some of the speculative bonds were
weak in sympathy with stocks, but
strength at other points made the
market irregular Total sales, par
value, S3,375,O00. United States bonds
all unchanged on the last call.
Total sales of stocks to-day were

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

Friday, June 70.
The sea island cotton market closed
unchanged, so far as current reports
went, with the demand fair. Some hes
itation was caused among buyers in
anticipation of the recount made of
the stock, and which was officially an
nounced to-day The corrected fig
ures are 7,745 bales, or smaller dis
crepancy of $685. bales, which were add
ed. This settles a question of long
standing among the trade. No effect
in anticipated upon the market as a
result of the corrected figures show
ing larger than the previously Off
cial stock, as the fact was pretty well
known and had, therefore, been thor
oughly discounted. Reports from the
sea island cotton belt during the week
indicated rains, which were needed.

THE GOOSEY NEGRO.

The "goosy' negro is found all
over the South. A negro who is
''goosy" may be large strong man.,
apparently in perfect health. That he
is ''goosy" cannot be proved by
aiming a doubled barreled shotgun at
him, or will he necessarily be found
to be deficient in courage in any EN-.
Urgency, but if small child should
point finger at him his misfortune
will Immediately manifest itself.
Consequently the ''goosy'' negro lives
in dread of being found out by the
small boy. 1t is a nervous disease and
it's victim has no control whatever
over it. One peculiar feature is that
an apparently robust man may be
subject to it., and the tiniest child
holds such person completely in his
power. A huge negro otherwise cour-
ageous. will plead like the veriest
coward, by beseeching some playful
urchin not to torment him. Merely
to point finger and make at the
same time some Kissing noise will in
the more aggravated cases cause a
victim of this peculiar affection to
lose all self control and turn crying
from the cause of his annoyance. Elk.

to discuss the labor question It is q
ferrous owe, and calls for the best
thought of practical men. While
legislation has been liberal towards
the farmer and the laborer, it is quite
evident that solution of the trouble
has not yet been reached. Whether
anysgood will result from these meet
ings, is yet to be determined, still we
think it is a move in the right direc-
tion. Some steps should be taken to
regulate and control labor after con-
tract, an to relieve the farmer of the
ever busy labor agent, ''who regardless
of his right, seduces laborers to seek
| other fields Of industry. and to violate
their contract. TO safely carry on
farming operations, labor should be
reliable, SO that when crop is pitch
ed for ten hands, the farmer may feel
that this labor will stay with him till
the crop is made and gathered. La
borers should know that they will be
fairly dealt with, and understand that
a contract for year means twelve
months, and that they Will have to
comply with it. Reliable laborers
Should be encouraged, others should
be controlled. This is an agricultural
country, and sentiment should be
built up to foster and encourage agri-
culture; to that end contracts should
be strictly complied with, by employer
and employee.

Law Lawl What's the matter
with Tea Pea and Alex? If they
don't stop spouting SO I fear they will
scare some Of the baby whales clear
out of their normal growth. If they
get up that debate we may employ a
lawyer and sue out an injunction
against them, enjoining them from
asphysiating us with carbonic acid
gas, against the peace and dignity of
Rankin county-all Of this in fun.
The summer just ended has put to
a severe test the claims of the stock
law advocates. In lots Of cases there
was neither water nor grass sufficient
for stock. So short was the grass in
some pastures that the COWS would
nuzzle at and eat the very roots Of the
grass, and if the stock law continues
it won't be long before the cows will
have shouts like the hogs they will
have to root hog or die, = too.
There are number Of people in this
section of the county who favored it,
but since trying it are very much dis
satisfied with it. It is not what we
bargained for. Very truly.

The Lexington Progress Advertiser
contains the following interesting in
formation touching state school fun d ::
Under our present constitutional
system and laws and their operations,
the counties in which negroes are in
the majority, through higher assess
ments, pay more of the taxes which
go to make up lthe State school fund
than they get back, through the dis
tribution, based on the number of edu-
cable children The same is true of
some white counties, especially those
having cities and large towns, but
there are large number of counties
in which the white people are in the
majority, which, through lower assess
ments, receive more money for schools
pensions and their assessors, than they
pay into the State Treasury for all
purposes, being thus exempted from
contributing to any expense of the
State Government for officers, its col
leges, its asylums or its hospitals, as
the reports of the Auditor will prove
to any one who will examine the
figures.

announced in the newspapers of the
city one day last month that it would
give stickpin with the class number
on it to the children in every grade
in the public schools if each child
would mail a postal card asking for
it. A hundred and sixty five thou
sand postal cards were received in
response to the advertisement, which
seems to indicate, among other
things. that when something is offer

pie ready to accept it. Incidently,
also, it suggests that advertisements
are read, and that in turn suggests
that advertising pays.

Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson is
dead. He was a grand man in all
that this implies. Learned, eloquent,
broad-guaged, he was easily the fore
most preiate of the age. During his
