H. & B. BEERS MARKET LETTER.
Especial to News and Observer

New Orleans, La, Aug. 1S.-Liverpool
advices were disappointing, consequently
our market opened one point lower, but
advanced 8 points from the bottom short
ly after on less favorable crop accounts
from the Carolinas and reports of hot
winds in Texas doing damage However
upon posting of the weather maps it was
ascertained that the Carolinas and
Georgia had good rains over Sunday, and
that the temperature had declined east
of the Mississippi River. This occa-
stoned uneasiness later and was accele-
rated by the receipts today of 266 bales
of new cotton at Augusta, Ga, making
the net gain points on all months eX-
cept August, which advanced points.
About ten days ago it was claimed there
was excessive moisture in Texas, which
was causing ravages by boil worms and
weavels. Dry hot weather was contend
ed as being essential to kill these pests.
The realization of the conditions claimed
as being favorable are now being circu-
lated as being very damaging to the crop
in that State. The question arises as to
what will be beneficial now, if no rains
take place damage is claimed by the high
temperatures, and if rains occur damage
is claimed by ravages of insects. II
must be that cotton is not matured by
heat. Practical farmers state that where
there has been an abundance of moisture
high temperatures tend to develop and
mature the plant, and that these high
temperatures always prevail in August
and they are not one in the trade who
knows that the records corroborate these
{, views. The high temperature are damag-
ing only when there has been a pro-
longed drought. Of course, if no rains
were to materialize in Texas for several
weeks more and the temperatures were
to continue to be excessive, then there is
no doubt that considerable damage would
result therefrom. While there are re.
ports of deterioration in localities COM
ing in. operators believe on the whole
; that the outlook is favorable.
Nevertheless, although the general
opinion is that the crop has not yet mel
with any serious set back. There is nc
indication shown to sell short, as it is
feared that spinners will soon become
free buyers, and that the world requires
large crop next year to fill all require.

People coming in from Kings Noun
tain tell us that the mills there are shut
ting down at night and the operatives
are scattering to other mills. Most OF
the mills are yarn mills. Some of the
mills in CASTOR are considering closing
down at night and some of them may
close down in daytime. A mill man told
us the other day that his mill was not
making anything just now, but he was
running to keep the operatives together

ing the week. and their endeavor to
put into practice the ideas presented.
Thanks We're extended to Superntend-
ent j. G. Taylor for the care and inter-
est he has manifested in the success Of
the institute.
The teachers expressed themselves
emphatically in favor of the Compul-
sorry Educational law, and urged the
various officers to whom it's enforce
ment is entrusted to see that it is more

Roosevelt and the Trusts.

He referred to President Roosevelt s
suits against the Northern Securities
company, the cotton pool and the meal
packers, and said that ii is a most sig
niflcant fact that the only prosecutions
brought under the Sherman antitrust
law during President Cleveland's ad-
ministration We're directed against labor
organizations.
He then discussed at some length the
question of tariff revision and took up
the words of Bryan, whose only lucid
interval was when he spoke against
tariff revision as a cure for the trusts.
Bryan has declared more than once, he
said, that as long as articles can be
manufactured i'm this country as cheap
ly as in Europe, change in the tariff
can have no possible effect upon the
trusts. The very cure that the Demo-
Gratis propose Is thus proven to be not
a cure on the testimony of one of their
