COTTON

New York, June 25.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm with prices 4 to 6 points
higher on eager buying to cover shorts,
support from the more reliant bulls and
foreign demand, for the most part
founded on continued dry weather con-
ditiOnS in the southwest where high
temperatures too, were being complain
ed of. What appeared to be a stampede
of the bears in Liverpool sent prices
there UP some Az points n this too,
served to strengthen local values. I'M
mediately following the cal there was a
further rise throughout the list and for
the next half hour prices worked stead
lily upward, July reaching SIT and Au-
gust S.4S.
Light receipts and reports that south
ern spot markets were frner on in
creased export demand disturbed the
shorts who were the leading buyers
throughout the early bulge. Europe
bid for the fall and early winter
months. the south bought July and Au-
gust contracts. Just when the marknt
here gave every indication of rising
above $50 for August, reports reached
the ring that King Edward was dying.
A quick drop of Z to s points followed
under general selling, July sank back
to $50 and August to $40. Later the
news from London took a more Opti-
miStic turn and on renewed demand
from shorts the whole market rallied
several points. In the las hour the
market was influenced by additional
reports noting improvement in the
British kings condition by light re-
ceipts, large export ~clearances n good
demand for spot cotton. Prices re-
bounded to the top notch of the morn
ing, but eased off partially in the last
five minutes under sales for profits by
room longs.
The close was steady with prices net
6 to 10 points higher. Total sales for
the day were estimated at IFS, 900 bales.
The New Orleans Market.
New Orleans, June 25.-Spot cotton
firm with a fair demand. Quotations
on middling and lower grades are un-
changed while good middling and high
er grades were Lice higher.
Weather conditions again ruled the
future market and under the continued
reports of dry weather prices remain
firm with an advancing tendency. At
the opening of the market the rise COM
menced and while there was some fluc-
tuating during the day the gain was
steadily maintained. The net gains
were 4 points on July and September;
Is on August and S to 9 points On more
distant months.

CROP PROSPECTS FINE
In Robson Outlook is
ing-ImprOyements at Seminary.

Red Springs, n. c., June %.
Editor Messenger:
Never perhaps nave crop prospects in
Robson been more promising than at
present. The dry weather injured the
small grain somewhat but corn and
cotton are in fine condition. The melon
crop will be late owing to pretracted
drought but the general outlook is most
encouraging.
Political feeling is running high and
candidates are numerous. With four
candidates for congressional honors our
people are divided in sentiment as to
the merits OF the aspirants and each
candidate may have a following in the
Fayetteville convention.
Extensive improvements are being
made at Red Springs seminary in or
der to accommodate the increasing pat
ronage. 1t is the intention of the trus-
tees to replace the wooden buildings
with brick. A large building is now
being erected and will be heady for oc-
cupancy at the opening in September.

the United States demand reciprocal

ing the sentiments of his predecessor,
outlines it, and repeats his recommen-
dalton to congress. The republican
leaders in both houses indorse his views.
They recognize, as he does. the justice
OF Cuba's claim and the ACCESSIBILITY OF
it's recognition by us. A small minority

Mr.. Roosevelt sent Tor Gener.
lal Leonard Wood to stay with him, en-
igarcGr, at the White house, he realized
la very happy thought. The president
is strenuous. He tugs always at the
leash. The fact that he doesn't spend
half his time in the air is applicable
only on the theory that something or
somebody holds him down. He chafes
under enforced inacti1n. His muscles
iache if he cannot exercise them. On
horseback, he plunges madly into the
ltrackless woodland about Rock Creek
Park. Afoot, he dearly loves to leave
1.-THE educated road and bound from craig
to craig. Nothing less h ten miles
or so of hard work over the very
toughest country s~ufices to reduce him
Ito a condition of contentment. Moth
ing less than four hours of violent ex-
Iertion relieves him OF his superabund-
Iant energy. In Leonard Wood, howev-
Ter, the president has a companion who
lean easily keep pace with him, either
as a horseman or as a pedestrian. Wood
doesn't chafe or rance He is a man
of infinite leisure and of Titanic repose.
But he is as fine a specimen Of athletic
power as one can find in the whole
country. He has the strength of a giant,
the wind of an Apache, the large, ma
Ijestic force of a steam engine. the gift
!of placid, impurturbable equilibrium.
HE will stay" all right. Mr.. Roose-
Ivelt's most astounding breaks will find
Wood, cool, quiet, full of reserve, at
the conclusion. Up hill. dow dale,
across the most perpleXing and exact
ing country, Wood is safe to be IN land
at the finish, with a whole lot to spare.
It is a most interesting conjunction.
The president should be enjoying him.
