Republican and Independent Clash

Especial to the News and Observer
Fayetteville, N. c., Sept. 29-Slocorhb,
the Republican candidate, and Nc
Kethan, Independent, met at Hollis
factories. near here, on Saturday night.
and before the close of the speaking the
temperature rose considerably. In the
main, they agreed on national issues.
On State matters being referred u,
they split in twain" and the Independ-
ent showed the crowd just a few things
that Col. Slocomb might be called or
to answer by the regular Democratic
nominee, whose majority of six thou
sand he expected to meet. He stated
that this, in his opinion, On Slocomb's
showing, was absolutely impossible.
From the cheering and enthusiasm, the
crowd seemed to side with McKethan.
And the straight4out Democrats in the
crowd smiled If this, in a factory
stronghold is to be repeated very often
throughout the district, Mr.. Patterson
may roll up majority of $4,000 instead
of so 900 for them to consider in the cleo
ton two years from now.

J. M. Aver G Co.'S Cotton Letter.

If the condition on October 3rd shows
no advance over that of September 3rd
land we do not look for any, an eleven
million bale crop may be considered a
maximum estimate. According to the
rate of consumption for the past five
years, this means a scarcity of cotton.
At this time there is strong, long
interest in the January option. A cur
rent impression is that this interest has
bought something like half million bales
with a view to demanding the cotton
The certifcated stock now in New York
is less than eight thousand bales. Con-
tract quotations must show considerable
advanve before spot cotton can be
brought here and stored. for the sup
posed January demand, without serious
less; and the accumulation of anything
like half million bales would be phe-
nomenal, if not impracticable. If such
stock cannot be accumulated and as
Stunning that current impressions are well
based, it is easy to see that there must
be a lively. if not wild SCRABBLE on the
part of shorts to cover their contracts.
The result of such a situation would be
an inevitable and possibly sensational
advance.
In the above comments on the January
option, we are not attempting to state
facts. We are merely reciting beliefs and
probabilities, and leave them for your
consideration.
But aside from these factors, we ad-
here to our opinion that the cotton sit
uation IS unusually strong, and maintain
cur belief that prices will reach the
highest point toched last season before
another crop is planted. In the mean
time fluctuations of considerable magni-
tude are probable.
Very respectfully,

loans and again sacrifice of holdings on
the part of those who could not secure
accommodation. The events of the lat
ter part of the last week admonished the
banking community that there was a
speculative element absolutely persisting
i'll a determination to place all the funds
they could secure in marginal holdings
of stocks. Further accommodations for
this puropes were peremptorily refused
by the banks. The effects of this de-
termination developed at the stock ex-

Of throwing about 10000 shares for sale

be for the account of a leading Ameri-
can now visiting in London. All of the
recently active speculative pools and
combinations were active in the liquida-
ton before the day closed. 1t cannot
be said that there were any new unfavor-
able developments in the money situation.
There was common recognition Of the
future demands to be met by the money
market and the inadequacy of any avail
able source of replenishment to meet
these requirements.
Apparently all interests arrived at
common determination today to take the
short way to the only means of relief
available. which was by selling out stocks
and paying off loans. Only tomorrows
developments can prove how far the nec-
essary work had been accomplished. The
disappointment over the failure of the

depression in the stock market, but all

advising their clients to operate in the
later months, the January interest being
congested in the hands of the same peo-
pie who last July circulated crop esti-
mates as high as thirteen million bales,
and talked of production. Today
the same interests are claiming that the
crop is very moderate one and predict
ing extremely high prices. The fact that
the market has responded to the opera
tions of this clique, restricts trade, espe-
cially in the January position, and in
view of the fact that thousands of bales
are bought by these interests on every
decline. while like quantities are sold
for the same interests on every advance
it would seem that the market will be
scalping one until it becomes sufficiently
broad to render the operations of this
clique ineffective. But supply and demand
must regulate the price in the end, and
we are convinced that the world needs
more cotton this year than will be pro-
duced unless the price advances suffi-
GENTLY to curtail consumption.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept. 29.-The stock mar
ket opened weak this morning and the IL
quotation was continued in varying de-
gree all day. During the last hour of
business belated borrowers found the
supply of available funds exhausted ana
they ron the money rate up quickly to
30 per cent. Meantime there was
wholesale throwing over of stocks all
round the room and the aspect of things
vas rather taking on an appearance OF
Ianic, when the Presidents gavel fell
and trading was ended for the day. Prices
were still tumbling rapidly in all dircc,
tions and the one or two feverish rallies
where the bears were scrambIing to take
quick profits made no impression on the
general Generalization of the market.

local banks were entirely out of the

Funds of out of town hanks and OF in

supply. 1t was very evident that there
was a large number of security holders
who hoped that the rates would work
easier today. encouraged in this view by
the notable recuperation achieved by the
tanks last week and the considerable
margin of surplus reserves revealed by
Saturdays bank statement. This class

With Ylxsd feeling
(By the Associated Press. }

London, Sept. 29.-The new amalgama-
ton of American and British tobacco
interests which was officially announced
Saturday afternoon has been received
with mixed feelings. Unbounded salts
faction is expressed at the defeat of the
American attempt to capture the British
market and the proof that the sO-called
trust system cannot flourish in a free
trade country like England as it can in
a protectionist country like the United
States. but at the same time there is
considerable lamentation at the fact that
the consumer will have to pay enhanced
prices The Daily Chronicle in an edi-
torial article. points out that the new
monopoly will almost inevitably send
prices up. AS the Imperial Company
has no rival to fear in the British mar
ket it will be able to dictate fresh
terms; leaders, therefore, says the paper,
regard the new amalgamation with con-
alarm.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Sept. 29.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices two to
seven points higher following the lead
OF the Liverpool market, which was ma
terially higher than expected, and being
influenced by reports of damage to the
Texas crop by cloudbursts But while
higher the market failed to develop ac-
tivity and for the balance of the ses-
sion followed a narrow rut with uniIn-
portant changes in values. Scptembcr
alone displayed positive heaviness, due
TO the final clearing up of old long ac-
counts. Wall Street bull interests sup
ported the January option and sold March.
The late weather reports from the South
told of generous general rains in the belt
while the forecast was for colder wealth
or in the Western States tonight and to-
morrow. The South and Europe were light
buyers here from time to time during
the day, the commission house contingent
had comparatively few orders, the specu-
lativc public being influenced by weak
ness in the stock market and very tight
money. Heavy receipts exerted small in
iiuenccs. having been discounted for the
most part. The shorts were rather uu-
easy as to the probable showing by to-
morrcws weekly crop weather report
from Washington and were inclined to
anticipate an unfavora BILE condition state
ment from the bureau next Friday. The
close was quiet with prices net five
