THE LICENSE LIMIT
ANOTHER PRIMO PLAN THAT
WILL NOT WORK.
Dole's Opinion AS To Light Liquor
Licenses-Payment of Full License
Without Using 1t Proposed.

Attorney General Dole yesterday
rendered for Treasurer Wright an opin
ion regarding the operation of the law
providing that no light wine and beer
licenses shall be operated within two
miles of a regular Tetail liquor saloon.
The Primo places which are gradually
closing up as their licenses expire have
been trying to get light wine and beer
licenses, as they are out of the saloon
limits, but in their present locations,
they are too near to regular saloons.
The opinion of the Attorney General
was as follows:
In response to your request of even
date herewith for my opinion of the
construction which should be put up
on the words two miles, as used in
Section l of Act LXI. of the Laws Of
1895, l have to say
THE section provides that no Ii
cense for the retailing of wines, beers
| and ales of low alcoholic strength shall
be issued for the vending of the same
within two miles of the place of bust
ness of any one holding a license for
retailing spirituOCs liquors.
Under a similar statute the SUI
preme Court of Rhode Island has held
that the distance is to be measured III
direct line; that is, if the distance
| is mile and three-quarters across lots
and two miles and a quarter by the
usually travelled road, it would be with
| in two miles"
| Still another proposition has been
made as a means of keeping open the
] Primo places. 1t is that they pay the
| full license and agree under bonds to
sell nothing but beer anyhow The
| license restricting them to beer has
been declared illegal and cannot be is
sued any more, but several of the
holders are said to be willing to pay
81 900 for a full license and to only use
it for the sale of beer as they sell 1t
now under the illegal $3.50 license.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec. 29.-Speculative senti-
ment today showed greater sensitiyeness
to the developments in the call money
market than was the case last week
when a Is per cent rate was practically
ignored. Today when the money market
opened at 10 per cent with an advancing
tendency, prices broke sharply all
around The rate touched II per cent
in the morning and then relaxed, follow
ed by a rally in the stock market, but
when money rose again to Is per cent,
prices of stocks yielded. The altered
sentiment toward the money market is
believed to be due to the strict attitude
assumed by the banks and to the call
ing in of the loans The largest selling
of today was attributed to the pools
which were credited with causing last
weeks advance in prices and which are
believed to have received renewed warn
ing against expansion CT credits for specu-
lative purposes at present. There is
strong party in the market which oper-
ates on the conviction that the closeness
of money is all that prevents prices of
securities from advancing again. This
party also entertains the conviction that
the turn of the year will witness
prompt relaxation in the money market
owing to the disbursement of funds &C
cumulated to pay dividends and inter-
ests. The belief that there will be
prompt relaxation in money rates after
the end of the year also. is by no means
universal. The small interior move
ment of corn and of cotton points to
holding back from the market which
PROMISES q continued retention OF funds
from the reserve centers. The foreign
exchange problem is also still unsettled
with the possibility that foreign require
ments will draw large amounts of gold
from our market upon any relaxation in

of 400 pounds. So that the official esti-
mate practically confirms the forecast OF
II, 100000 or over" All statisticians and
European spinners place this construction
on the bureau and believe the ultimate
results will bear them out in their ideas.
In the meantime sentiment in America
is very bullish on the theory that the
crop is about 10000, 000 and as this will
make deficiency in the consumptive re-
quirementS of the world, values will have
to enhance to figure that will curtail
consumption within the limits of the sup
ply. The anticipation of a very bullish
census estimate on January 9Th, is also
instrumental in causing large purchases.
On the 18th of October returns Of the
census indicated crop of about 10000
600. 1t is questionable whether their
January figures will show any difference
in probable outturn. Last year the first
of April their estimate was 100000 and
the commercial crop turned out 10,680,000
or about 100000 in excess of tho CEN
sus estimate. With the optimistic feeling
existing any favorable feature will oc-
casion a further enhancement unless
checked by a decided increase in the
movement. H. e B. BEER.

Market Letter,

Especial to News and Observer.)
New Orleans, La, Dec. 29.-As Liver
pool advices were more favorable than
expected our market in sympathy opened
from to 10 points higher, subsequently
improved to 8 points additional on the
continuance of light receipts and the
irmness of spots, closing at a net gain
of Is to II points on the day. Not
withstanding Liverpool led the advance
today, cables from there state that Sat-
urday's papers show the condition of the
English cotton trade is the worst since
1898 The total average decrease in the
dividends is S1S per cenht under last
years. Mr.. Ellison, in his latest circu-
lar commenting on the Agricultural
Bureaus estimate, says: THE statisti-
can estimates that besides the 10,417 900,
there will be about 900 bales of lint
ers, raising the total to 1857 900 bales
of 1905 pounds, or about 10000 900 of $50
pounds, but the talk about linters is
nonsense. Linters are included in every
crop, and the suggestion along with that
of "citp crops" was only put forth last
season by an ingenious crop estimator to
white away the ridiculous appearance
Of his absurdly small forecast of yield.
Last season the bureau estimate was
per cent less than the actual yield and
10 per cent less than the commercial
crop Assuming that error this season
to be not more than per cent the
estimate of 10, GAG, 900 means a crop of
1850, 900 bales of $50 pounds or II, 265, 900

money rates. The demands of labor on
the Union Pacific system are the cause
of disquiet in the market. The violent
break in Amalgamated Copper was sup
posed to be due to authoritative denials
OF last weeks rumors of an agreement
to arbitrate by the contending copper in
terests. In the early market there was
some effort to contest the decline, and a
later show of strength by sugar had
some sentimental effect upon the general
market, but the reactionary tendency
persisted and overcame all resistance. A
transfer of s300,000 to New Orleans to-
day kept the attention fixed upon that

Cotton Letter.
Especial to News and observer.)

New York, Dec. 29.-The cotton market
today was the most active we have had
for some weeks and the developments
confirm orr contention all along thar
March and May contracts were heavily
oversol1. The short interest made an
effort to cover around noon, but as there
was but little Offering prices advanced
easy. Chicago is heavily short, as well
as New Orleans and Liverpool, and q
general covering movement will, in all
probability, take place Immediately and
this will, we believe, carry the spring
options up to nine cents. It's not a
question of whether the crop is 10000, 900
or 11,250,000, the absorption is on the
basis of a consumption of 1880 900 for
the season and present prices are, there
fore, low.
We look for great activity and much
higher prices Immediately.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Dec. 29-The future
market, after four days holiday, opened
with advances of three points on jan
Eary and February and Z to 10 points on
the other months. This was followed by
an advance of 8 points on December and
January and declines of 2 to points ON
the far months. Thereafter there were
quick fluctuations with a strong upward
tendency. There was a good business
transacted and throughout a decidedly
bullish sentiment was apparent, predicted
upon continued light receipts and the
manifest Improvement on the other side
of the pond. The board at the close
showed net gains of Is to II points COM
pared with Wednesdays last closing
figures.

Barbee e. Co.'s
Cotton Letter.
Especial to News and Observer


New York Dec. 29.-The feeling in the
market today was decidedly bullish. For
the first time in weeks operators came
into the market with the evident inten-
ton of buying and advancing the price.
There has been an absence of business
for some weeks, but it looks now as
though there would be business enough
to put prices higher before the move
ment picks up enough to stop the adj
vance. The statistical position is strong.
and as long as there is no weight of
cotton felt in any direction the tendency
should be towards an Improvement.
There is so general feeling that the
market will do better that we cannot
see how an advance can be prevented
now, that buying had really increased.
This being the case, it will be necessary
to reverse the policy that has made
money all through December the policy
Of taking profits on all bulges. We
would buy cotton on all weak spots for
a time and see what the outcome will
be. January is still unsettled and it is
possible that the present advance is not
going to last long. This will, of course,
be true, if the movement gets larger. 1t
is much bigger than a while ago, but not
big enough to prevent an advancing
market. Now that the market Is getting
more active, man will be able to buy
on any break and stand good chance
of making money. 1t will take some days
for the higher prices to bring out cotton,
and in the meantime cotton can be bought
with a chance of higher prices. The
tone today was strong and business was
better. That is all we need to put the
market up now, more business Crop
views are getting unsettled and spin
ners are in the market to buy cotton.
Cotton futures ranged as follows:

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York. Dec. 29.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of to
points on strong cables from Liverpool
market, with private cables asserting
that European sentiment regarding
American cotton was steadily changing to
a more bullish view on the strength of
statistics and the failure of the cotton
receipts to materialiZe as promised by
the large crop prognosticators. After the
first call the market worked steadily up
ward until there was a net rise of II
to 16 points with the market finally
firm at an advance of IL to 16 points on
the closing figures of Friday Saturday
being holiday and on the spot list
there was an advance of 10 points at
New York. The spot markets of the
South were generally firm. The Liver
pool cables finally reported an adj
vance Of points on spot cotton and 8 to
points on futures, while Manchester
reported yarns hardening and cloths
firm. Other factors at work on the local
market were disappointing receipts for
the day, large exports, unfavorable
weather in the cotton belt and predic
tions of continued small movement for
near future. Although the wire
service was somewhat deranged
commission houses were pretty well
supplied with orders. Shorts were
active buyers throughout the ses-
sion, January held weak posi-
ton to the rest of the list under selling
by scattered longs through fears of
notices" of intention to deliver cotton.
The buyers of January were the shorts
and, as alleged, the principal January
holder has promised to take care of any
amount of cotton that may be rendered
on January contracts. The total sales
of futures reached 100000.
