JUDGES OF THE SUPERIOR COURT
The Able Lawyers Nominated by the Democratic
State Convention.

There is no position of trust in
North Carolina that offers SO great
an opportunity for teaching re-
spect for law as the Office of Super
Tor Court Judge. His charges to the
grand jury do much to teach right
principles and to make healthy
nubIic sentiment. The necessity
of electing men of high moral
character, as well as of learning in
the law, has been appreciated by
the Democratic party in its nomi-
nations this year. The men named
are worthy of the high office and
will be leaders in educating the
people along right lines, as the
following sketches show:

New York, April 4.-The continued
light movement has been the chief
feature in market during the day. and
the more bullish feeling thus engen-
dered has been considerably encour-
aged by the evident disposition on the
part of Liverpool to attribute the fall
ing off to exhaustion. From the open
ing the market has been under the
sway of bullish influences perhaps more
completely so than for some time past.
Liverpool came in Unexpectedly strong,
estimates for tomorrow continue light
and preliminary figures for the weeks
into sight showed more favorably than
had been anticipated. The strength
was, therefore, not surprising, though
continuation of the shorts covering
noted yesterday was perhaps chiefly
instrumental in the advance. Commits
sion houses were also buyers during
the early part of the session. The
South has recently been having more
favorable weather, and preparations
for planting are now progressing, but
Until reports for the coming crop begin
to exert their usual influence on values
the market will undoubtedly be largely
governed by the daily movement. New

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 4.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm in tone, with prices 3
to s points higher in response to sur
prisingly bullish Liverpool cables and
generally strong statistical Informal
ton from all quarters. Domestic in
formation was quite as bullish as that
from abroad and for the time being
everything seemed to favor the bull
side. Yet after further advancing 2 to
4 points soon after the call, the mar
ket followed an unusually narrow rut
for the rest of the day. An enormous
line of July cotton was sold out, con-
servatively, at 100000 bales, around
S.93c and S94c. Philadelphia interests
were heavy buyers of May option,
which at one time was selling points
over July. August was eagerly pur-
chased by brokers believed to be act
ing for Wall street interests. The
spinning and Southern elements gave
attention almost entirely to the pur-
chase of April and May contracts.
April sold several times at cents and
closed at about the top, with demand
still active.
Liverpool had been counted upon to
come one point lower, but instead ad-
vanced 11a points on futures and 1920

buying. Port receipts were again very
light, preparations for the new crop
were said to be two weeks late, mules
reported scarce, demand for cotton
goods was broadening rapidly, spot de-
mand for raw cotton in the South was
very urgent from spinners as we'll as
from exporters, the lin sight for the
week was given by the superintendent
of the Cotton Exchange as only 81
$50 bales, against 100000 for the same
week last year, the worlds visible
supply decreased 124,000, against a de-
crease for the same, week last year
of only $4,000; the American visible
supply decreased 10000 bales for the
week, against only $4,000 decrease for
the same week last year. The close
was steady at about the top for the
day on near months, net rise of to
points. The crop months were, quiet
and net unchanged to 3 points lower.
Favorable weather reports served to
depress new crop months in the alb
sence of speculative support.

takings of American cotton to date
aggregate 1896, 900 against 6, 100000 last
year, or an increase of 662, 900: this
proves that the mills are we'll sup
piled with the raw article, and the
question now arises, will there be the
same eagerness to stock up on a Scent
basis as was done at a much lower
level. The chances are a hand-to-
mouth policy will be pursued, conse-
quently conservative operators think
present prices discount a great deal.
Sentiment continues bullish, how
ever, and with encouragement from
outsiders any favorable feature will
be eagerly grasped with view of
forcing values higher. Receipts will
probably continue light until the rail-
roads and country roads get in a nor
mai condition.

sentiment seems more bullish than at

in some quarters the opinion is ex-

The recovery of the New York mar

ish advices regarding the condition of

tons. Continuous rains have been re-

of washouts and floods threatening
damage as great as that which oc-
Cured in parts of the cotton belt in

a fair degree of stability.
