SHOULD NOT AFFECT SPOT.
Contracts For Future Delivery Declined IN
der Bearish Speculation.
Especial to News and Observer.)

New York March 25.-The prices OF
contracts for the future delivery of cot
ton in New York continue to decline
under the influence of bearish manipula-
ton and the enforced liquidation OF
weakly margined SPECTATORS. Ihelr
value has, however, no reference to that
of spot cotton, and it is my opinion that
these who own the article in the South
will consult their own best interests by
refusing to accept current prices. The
foreign demand is shown by the facts that
while receipts today at the ports are
only twelve thousand bales exports are
twenty-five thousand bales, and with this
rapid depletion of the remnant of cot
ton remaining in America, there can be
no question as to its commanding better
prices before the end of the season.

THE PHILIPPINE SILVER DOLLAR

A correspondent asks us WnaI IS Ile
meaning of the legislation proposed by
the Senate Committee. 1t seems that
dollar on the same plan that the Brit
ish Government coins a Bombay silver
dollar. 1t is said to be necessary from
commercial point of view, but it is also
a political measure, which looks to
strengthening the Republican party in
the West. Senator Warren, of Wyom
ing, says of it:
81 have always maintained in discuss
ing the Philippine question that our po-
sessions in the Orient would afford us
safe and proper opportunity for the dis
position of our surplus silver. The
Oriental people have always had silver
as their standard, for gold is a scarce
metal with them. and they are poorer
people than we, so that silver is adequate
to their needs / want to see the Amer
Philippine dollar circulate in the
Orient on an equality with the British
silver dollar We are a world power
now and must take our place in the East.
We will help ourselves out there and
yet do no harm to ourselves at home by
adopting the plan suggested by the
Philippine Committee"
The Washington Post, quoting Senator
Warrens interview. adds:
THE Democrats, on the other hand,
realize that the movement will strength
en- the Republican party in the West.
Senator Dubois, who represents silver
loving constituency, said yesterday that
he fully appreciated the advantage which
would accrue to the Republicans by the
adoption of the silver coinage plan for
the Philippines, but added that any other
system would be disastrous TO the is
lands Senator Martin, of Virginia. char
acterizes the suggestion as one of the
shrewdest and most adroit moves which
has yet been made by the Republicans
and says that he does not see how the
Democrats can escape giving it their
support.
Il have always believed" was Sena
tor Tillman's comment, "that the Rocky
Mountain aid Pacific Slope States fav-
ored the permanent retention OF the
Philippines but / am sure that these
States will be riyeted to the Republican
column if the plan for disposing of
American silver in the Philippines is en-
acted into law" This is the general
opinion of all the Democratic Senator's.
Senator Teller, who is another ardent
silver coinage advocate. said yesterday
that he also appreciated how much this
latest Republican idea meant for that
party, but he could not see how it could
