Death Of q Great and Good Nan.

In the death of Rev. DR.. B. M.
Palmer, this State loses one of its
most beloved citizens, and an
able, thoughtful, earnest Christ
ian and patriot has ceased from his
labors. In persistence, in toll, in
patience, in firmness of purpose,
in calmness of courage and per-
feet self-poise, in unwavering
devotion to duty, the life of DR..
Palmer was singularly we'll
rounded and complete. His SER
vices in the church covered q
period of sixty years.

Theory is all right, but there is
nothing which appeals to theprac-
teal man with so much force as
doing something. There are a
great number of men who can tell
many interesting things about
what should be done in the world
and the wonderful achievements
we may expect in the future, but
that is not half so interesting as
to see a man do something.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec. 5.-The various restric-
tive Influences which has brought down
the volume of activity in the stock mar
ket had an addition today in the stormy
weather. The attendance of the brokers
at the board was meager and the small
number of room traders had the market
much to themselves as they were al
most isolated by the cutting off OF wire
communication with the outside world
AS a consequence, the net results OF
the days trading were extremely small
The selling by room traders during the
early part of the day made some con-
siderable inroads upon prices, but in the
absence of outside response and not de-
string to remain uncovered over night
they re-bought the stocks sold early.
causing general rally. The market
was without significance So far as the
sentiment of the day was manifest, the
anxiety over the future Of the money
market still was evident The forecast
OF the weekly bank statement fully JUS
titled this feeling. The banks appar-
emily have lost nearly $4,000 from
their cash reserves during the week. 1t

Especial to the News and Observer

Especial to the News and Observer
New -Orleons, Dec. 5.-LiVerpool ad-
vices We're not encouraging, but our
market opened unchanged and ruled
steady TO some time thereafter
on light estimated receipts and the ex
pectation of hullish weekly statistics
This, though, was offset by the restric-
ted demand for spots, lack of outside
buying and the prediction of clearing
weather. in the belt. Recent buyers be-
came uneasy and on their selling break
of 5 points was established on the day
The amount brought into sight during
the week was Ala, 900 bales, against AL
600 last year, and the aggregate from
September LIST to date is 5.434,0 900 bales,
against $4,000 last year. The visible
supply of American increased 124,00O
bales during the week, against an in
total to date is 2,942G00 bales, against
3,172,000 last year.
1t is anticipated that the light receipts
will continue for the next fifteen days,
owing to the bad weather and the short
age of cars. This is generally conceded
by traders and it is questionable whether
any decided enhancement will be caused
by this factor, under the circulation un-
less spinners soon become active buyers
Of spots. 1t is we'll known that there
are large stocks of cotton held in the
united towns awaiting shipment, which
are prevented from moving to the ports
by the scarcity of cars and motive
power. The fact that the bureau points to
a crop of 10, $4,000 bales. which is con-
strued as indicating crop of over H.
600 900 bales, and that the latest crop
estimates range frCm II 100000 to H.
775,000 bales seems to have made out
siders less enthusiastic in buying cotton.
The steady decline in silver has practi-
cally cut off the textile demand from
China and all countries on a silver
basis. therefore it is coRtended that the
usual requirements of American cotton
will be curtailed by that cause and that
Mr.. Ellson's estimate of 10000, 900 will
be found to be full instead of II 000,0 0O
and over, as is popularity supposed to be
requisite. Sentiment is still very bullish
Notwithstanding these features, and any
encouraging fact will be eagerly grasped
to occasion an advance.
