COTTON

New York. January 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady. with prices 1
point higher to 3 points lower. a very
good start considering the big port re-
ceipts and the poor Liverpool cables
q to IL points lower when no change
was eXpected). After the call there
was little variation from last nights
prices and business was tame. Trader
waited for traders to take the first step
for or against the market. and orders
of a commission house character were
few and far between. There was very
little private wire Jews In hand from
the south and Liverpool. Locally, op-
lions were very much mixed: the big
movement caused some to f~oreshadow
a sagging market n liquidation OF
reCenLly accrued long interests. while
the great strength of southern spot
markets n heavy speculative buying
OF late created a friendly feeling to-
ward the market among others. After
the call but -four options were dealt in
up to 1920 o'clock. this representing
one of the slowest markets OF recent
times. The market closed barely steady
with prices net 1 to 5 points lower.

MURPHY's COTTON LETTER.

New York. January lin the Liver
pool market this morning there was a
decline Of about a single point, which,
in view OF the big movement during the
week, was quite remarkable. That
market is undoubtedly not greatly i'm
pressed by the heavy receipts. At all
events there has so far been greater
disposition to follow New York this sea-
son than has been the case in previous
years. and this IN the face of stocks held
there today of over 250.00o bales of
American cotton alone more than last
year. The C market opened a point
lower. but there was mex to nothing
doing. Everything was believed TO turn
on receipts. and expectation was that
the ports during h coming week would
show some 80. 600 bales less than last
week and 5000 more than last year.
which was iss. 900. Prices advanced 1
To 2 points On good buying the first hour
and varied slightly thereafter. The
statistical features calling for sone
comment today were the visible supply
showing an increase OF Is. 900 bales for
the week IN the all kinds, and In the
American OF 5000 over last year. Dur
ing the week the bear element q been
predicting a much greater increase In
showing an increase OF $4,000 bales for
Some Of h explanations sent by south
ern bulls of the immense receipts are
simply ridiculous. Some accounts as
cribe the heavyt receipts to the fac
that cars are now available for moving
the crops. whereas for some time there
was a car famine. Thorough investiga-
ton by good firms shows decidedly
much less cotton held in all sections
than last year, especially In Texas un-
less receipts soon fall on materially

Fine Sport in Deer Hunting.

Editor Messenger:
Rev. G. 3. Paul, of his place. and
Rev. 1. N. Henderson. of Hubert. went
OH a drive to Mr.. Sol. Gornto's. near
New river. some fifteen miles from
Swansboro. Seventeen deer were start
ed. three were killed and one supposed
to have been killed, but escaped the
hunters. Rev. Paul killed two and
wounded another. T. M. woodruff kill
ed one. and this was the first deer he
ever killed Or shot at. Nine deer in one
bunch ran out to Rev. Henderson in
forty yards of him. but Brother Ike was
so surprised at seeing such a sight he
failed to steady his nerves to the eX-
tent of shooting and the drove passed
by without being shot at. A little while
after that scene five or six more in q
bunch "a to Rev. Paul, and he downed
tive in their tracks and shot a third one
which he thinks he wounded fatally.
Brother Tim had only a single barrel
6-shot Winchester gun. but he shot his
deer three times in almost as many sec
onds. striking the buck on both sides:
oe course Tim got that deer. Brother
Paul said he didn't approve of stopping
to count the deer before shooting. like
Brother Henderson did.
G. w. Ward and S. c. Hewitt. Doth
got a good shot apiece, and that was
about all, as they both missed where
the others hit. and now Brother Hen
derson does not want to hear anything
about inc deer in a bunch coming to
him to count.
Messrs. A. Conway, w. E. Ketchum.
and w. n. Rouse killed one deer each.
and Rev. Henderson of the nine deer
fame. killed five deer the week before,
and yet it was not good weather for
hunting deer meat either.
Onslow and Carteret counties are
famed for game all around, especially
deer. ducks. coons and rabbits, with
