Especial to News and Observer)
New Orleans, La. March As Liver
pool advices were disappointing, our mar
ket opened 8 to points lower, subse-
quently advanced 6 to points on fresh
buying, but eased off on realizing; caused
by reports from Manchester that some
mills would commence tomorrow to run
on short time. The net loss on the day
was one point. The amount brought into
sight during the week was 5000 in eX-
cess of last year, and the total market
from September 1st to date is 8,S19 900,
being an increase of 1885, 900 over last year.
Therefore, as the growth last year was
1O,519,000, and if there is no more cotton
in the South than last season, the move
ment on its face points to a crop of 10,-
955,0O0. The interior towns during the
week received $4,000 against 10000 last
year and hold in stock 100000 against
621 900 last year and 449, 900 in the record
crop year. During last year the counted
interior towns stocks are larger now
than in any other previous year The
total stock of American ashore afloat to
Liverpool is 100000 or gain of SAG, 900
over last year and 404 900 over year before
decreased during the week 116,OO0 against
an increase of 1900 last year, and the
total to date shows an increase of 21S.-
600 over last year The Texas statement
issued today up 20 March 1st shows that
219,0O0 was brought into sight from that
State during February, against 222 900 last
year and the total marketed for the first
six months of the year has been 2,647, 900
against $685. 900 last year. If there is
only half as much cotton left in that
State as last year then the out-turn will
be 3,009 900. AS considerable has been
said about spinners taking of American
to date the actual figures so far are $780,
600 against 5,S62O00 last year or an ex-
cess of 607 900. Last year 10,000,00O was
taken from the supply, therefore to re-
tain the present excess the taking must
equal last years for the balance of the
season. While sentiment is very favorable
to the article there seems to be feeling
that a reaction is in order after such a
sharp advance. H. & B. BEER.

Not only is there no improvement to

to the pressure by completely closing
many plants and damaging much costly
machinery. Recent destruction by the
elements makes an unusual demand for

buyers gladly pay premiums of $6 a ton
above list prices. Coal shipments have
been curtailed to such an extent that

GENERAL. ROBERTS A CANDIDATE.
For Congress From the District Now Repre-
sented by Hon John II, Small.
Especial to News and observer)


Suffolk. Va, March 7.-General Will
liam Paul Roberts, of Gatesville, N. c.,
today announced his candidacy for Con-
gress from the First North Carolina
District, now represented by Hon. John
H. Small.
General Roberts was the youngest
Confederate general, having been COM
missioned brigadier general of cavalry
at the age of % years, was State Audi
tor for eight years and was during
Cleveland's last administration, consul
to Victoria, British Columbia.
His friends claim his candidacy is
strengthened by the fact that North
Carolina, which furnished more Confed-
crate soldiers than any other State, now
has no veteran as representative in
either branch of Congress. General
Roberts is almost a giant in physique
and of forceful personality. Queried
about his candidacy this afternoon, he
said: Yes, the Old Guard never sur
rendered"
