R. M. Scale & Co.'s Cotton Letter


 NEW ORLEANS. Feb. I2.-Cables today Liverpool were compelled to buy cotton out of the stock there to i'll contracts. owing to their inability to effect purchases in the South at prevailing prices and to this feature the st ad mess of the English market was attributed today. Spots were marked up 3-32 with sales of 8. 900 bales. and deliveries scored an af- vance of 3k-64. ,steaiier tone was estab- 1ished here with prices slightly improved over curb quotations of yesterday. The temptation to take profits on purchases was again present. ed and longs realized freely, causing slight loss from top figures. Spots were firm at an advance of hc and the improvement in that department served 10 stimulate the good feel ing. Closing quotations are i3Gi5 points above final figures of Monday.
 The movement continues to dominate the course of prices. and that feature is command ing much attention now at the beginning of the season. Crop ideas are still widely apart and the trade is still greatly in doubt on that point. In the meantime the demand for actual cotton has grown apace and the country seems to be quite indifferent about selling. that the pressure from that source appears to have been removed Reports of a better business in manufactured cotton goods in this country were circulated today and It was stated that Mir. Borden had bought all the print cloth production of Fall River mills in to May at advanced prices This is<expected to result in a better demand for raw cotton from American mills. which If realized and receipts light. prices are likely to be forced up much further. Local bulls bought freely on close on report that Borden bought all print cloths available for delivery in Fall River up to May 3lst at 3h. that price being freely hid now

Bank Note Threads.

[SeW y1Ork Herald.
 One of the officials connected with the Department, located in the Postoffice Building. recently discussing the meth ods of counterfeiters, stated that in spite of their great skill and industry they had never been able to make a bill which did not have one or more vulnerable spots. Perhaps the feature of good treas ury notes which counterfeiters have found it most difficult to initiate is the two blue silk threads which run length wise through them.
 ''In the first place." he said. .'the silk threads are put in the paper when 1t is first made at the factory. To make pa per of the kind used by the government requires a big plant and lots of capital. so counterfeiters are kept out of 1t. Even if they had the necessary money they wouldn't be fools enough to risk it all for the chance of making bogus bills. It would be exceedingly unprofitable for paper manufacturer who already has a factory to make the paper, because to do so is penitentiary offense."
 The writer was then shown a two dol lar bill which had a single thread rum ming through its center. This" continued the secret service man. lis the only bad bill that ever saw with a silk thread in 1t. Even this has only one thread in stead of two, so 1t would not be danger ous to a skilled teller. I have never heard of more than two other bills like this one. It Is easy to see that the coun- terfeiter split this note, put in his thread. and then pasted the twosparts together again. , low must have been stupid not to know that genuine money has two threads in. stead of one. An expert can easily tell when 8 bill has been split in two and pasted together again, so the silk threads would not deceive him."

The Northward migration of Southern whites. however.

The Irresponsible Beveridge.

New York Evening Post Qnd. Rep.)
 Senator Beyeridge got off again yes- terday his theatrical "never!" speaking about the awful crime of hauling down the American flag where 1t has once been unfurled. however unwisely or wrongfully. Now. >"never" is an ex- tremely dangerous word for a politician like Beverfdge, in whose nostrils popular favor if the breath of life. It is a pity that the Irish member of Parliament MT. Redmond was not present to warn the Indiana Senator, as he warned the youthful Secretary for Ireland in the Commons the other day of the perils
 wrapped mp in thaa little vocable. Never said the philosophic Mir. Red mond. lis a word the use of which springs from the overweening confidence of inexperience." This Disraelish defini- ton fits Senator Beveridge like glove. Yet we presume his facile eloquence will be first and loudest in praise of Amer- can justice and generosity, when the Filipino flag is at last raised over a peo- pie that we have made free and inde- pendent.
