ISIT CONNOR OR BROWN?
The Fight For Associate Justice in
the East.
THIS THE TOPIC OF DEEPEST INTEREST
The Corporation Commission Fight Another Big
IF Proposition, A Possibility Of Some
Big Surprises When The Vote
is Announced.
Especial to the News and observer.)

Especial to the News and Observer
Greensboro, N. c., July 15.-Greens-
boro is alive with the intensity and rush
of a great convention eve. Over twelve
hundred people are here tonight and
everywhere there are Kaleidoscope
changes of faces and men in hotel lob
bies and on the streets.
The trains tonight brought in large
crowds. An immense delegation from
the east and west is here in force, with
big representation from the center OF
the State.
Not alone are the prominent men of
the State here, but the sterling rank and
file of a splendid Democracy is present.
AS to who is here the answer is, almost
everybody that has a touch of politics
about them.
1t is a splendid looking body of men
and they represent the very best from
every section of the State. Men are here
from the extreme east and tn extrem1
west and the crowd here is much larger
than on the night preceding the con-
vention in many years. The hotel lob
bies are filled with throngs divided into
groups of four and five and political talk
is -at~-the,-tep notch, but few speak of
Judge Clark, for his nomination is one of
the certainties. The great topic is Con-
nor and Brown, and the friends OF each
one are laying their claims before the
delegates and endeavoring to cinch
every vote to be had. 1t is
the fight for Associate Justice in the
last that is attracting the most atten-
ton for the contest is apt to hinge on a
change of fifty to one hundred votes.
The friends of Walker, Moore, Armfield
and Lockhart are all working like
beavers, and the nomination from the
West is a great uncertainty as with
four in these is apt to be long drawn
out fight.
There is some talk of insisting that
Lockhart, of Wadesboro, take his
chances in the fight in the East for AS
sociate Justice, but his friends are not
that he is a Western candidate, and
that the Eastern fight is between Connor
and Brown.
Joyner has no opposition for State Sup
erintendent. He will go in by acclama-
tion and there will be resolutions of
sympathy for him in his sickness.
The Corporation Commission fight is
another big if" proposition. Bedding
field, Michaux, Mason, Brown, Farley
and Watson all have men on the ground
working for them, and the friends of
each say that their man is to be the
winner, but it is all guess work tonight,
and thus far in the positions of Asso-
ciate Justices as we'll as for Corpora
tion Commissioner.
Judge Connors friends say that he is
certainly the winner. Judge Browns
friends say likewise, so there you are
1t is going to take ballot to know the
exact strength of each and there is a
possibility of some big surprises when
the vote is announced. BRITTON.

Democratic Judicial Convention of the
Eleventh District met here at 1890 today
with large attendance. Pink Johnston,
of Reidsville, was chosen chairman. The
counties composing the districts and the
number of votes to which each county in
the convention is entitled are as follows:
Allegheny 16, Caswell 2S, Forsyth IS,
Rockingham So. Stokes 80, Surry 4S.
Wilkes "a.
After short recess nominations for
Judge were declared in order.
w. C. Fields, of Allegheny, was
nominated by r. A. Doughton.
A. E. Henderson, of Caswell, was nom
mated by Yancey Kerr. w. w. King,
of Stokes, was nominated by John Y.
Phillips. j. H. Humphries was nomi-
mated by j. Spot Taylor. A number of
speeches seconding nominations were
made. Twenty four ballots had been
taken without a nomination up to 1
o'clock, when the convehtion adjourned
for one hour for dinner.
Then to the surprise of many,
Mr.. E. B. Jones was nominated
for judge on the twenty seventh ballot
He received 8 votes from Caswell, So
from Rockingham, 43 from Surry and "a
from Wilkes, a total of 144 votes.
Mr.. Jones was notified of his nomina-
tion, and after consulting with several
friends he accepted the nomination in n
brief but earnest speech. He stated
that for several reasons he was not a
candidate for the office, besides he con-
sidered his nomination an injustice to
the other candidates for judge. The
nominee said: LAS belong to the great
Democratic party of North Carolina l
will have to accept. l will endeavor to
discharge my duty to God, my country
and the office" His speech was re-
ceived with hearty applause.
Mr. Jones' acceptance was a relief to
the candidates for the solicitorship, who
manipulated the scheme to get him out
of their way. Many members of the
convention predicted that he would not
accept. Mr.. Jones was in the race for
the nomination for solicitor ard he had
more votes pledged to him than any of
the other applicants.
The following were placed in
nomination for solicitor: Reuben
Reed and c. o. McMichael, of
Rockingham; S. p Graves, of Surry; II.
L. Green, of Wilkes. On the sixth bal
lot Rockingham dropped McMichael and
voted solidly for Reed. After taking
twenty three ballots without result the
convention adjourned at o'clock to give
the various delegations an opportunity
to hold conference
The convention reconvened at S:15 to-
night. At 915 the fftieth ballot was
taken, and the vote for the several cam :
didates was about the same as on thIe
first ballot.

stocks today was obviously by the specu-
lative element. which bought previously
on the prospect Of arise rise their mo mo-
profits. Whether any actual devel-
opments bearing upon values were
considered is not clear, but there
might be construed against a further ad
vance in prices. The marking up of st.
Paul and New York Central, together with
some of the soft coal stocks that-@Were
strong yesterday, is perhaps sufficiently
explained as measure of manipulation
to, facilitate the taking. Of profits else

to opponents of a purpose to protest the
stock in the market.
Money Moves Toward Chicago.
OF the factors making for the selling
side the continued heavy movement OF
currency to Chicago was an important
one. Including deposit of $500, 600 at the
subtreasury for Geographic transfer to
Chicago and shipment by express, it is
stated that about 81, 500, 600 went to that
of the corner in the July option in corn
are supposed to account for this heavy
movement. The large commitments be-
lieved to be held in the stock market by
the managers of the corn corner occasion
some uneasiness over the possible results
of a failure of the corner, such as have
accompanied many similar attempts in
the past.
The days weather news was considered
to make a big showing also for crop pros
poets, too much rain being indicated.
The failure to advance the Louisville &
Nashville dividend rate to a per cent
basis was disappointment to some spec
ulators who have acted on tips, but there
was no general expectation of an in
crease.
Aid From the Government.
AS was expected after yesterdays ex-
change market movement, no export en-
gagements of gold were announced The
ments are favoring the money market.
The prolonged advance in Missouri Pa
cific made the weight of realizing in that
stock particularly heavy, and the bears
made a renewed attack, and also on West
ern Union and Sugar, the former on the
termination of contracts with the Penn
sylvania and the latter on the large cap
ital embarking in opposition. Copper was
sold on account of the declining tendency
of raw copper.

Il, CHICAGO, July ~ 9 Heavy rains
ally far weather had been predicted was
the chief cause for higher prices on the
Board Of Trade today. There was an
ACTIVE trade in wheat and September
closed Bc higher. September corn
was 1sc higher, oats were 11sc higher
but provisions closed from sc to Ice
lower.
Wheat opened active and strong,
prices being nearly a cent above yester-
days close. Excessive and general rains
throughout the country was the exciting
factor. Ihere was a good commission
mouse buying for country account, local
interests were bullish and bought freely
while shorts fell over themselves in an
endeavor to get to cover. Bradstreets
report that the worlds stock for the
week had decreased over 5000 bushels
was also Strengthening feature. Fears
OF change in sentiment over night
should the weather be favorable caused
some realizing toward the close. Sep
;tember opened 1s@9sc to &@%c higher
at 7Sasc to 1899; and on active demand
advanced to 743s @731@c, but weakened
later on heavy realizing and closed &c
higher at 73B @73Ac. Clearanees Of
Wheat and flour We're equal to ATS, 900
bushels, against 100000 bushels Year
ago. Local receipts were 81 cars, with
four of contract grade. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 238 cars, making a to-
tai for the three points of 259 cars. com
pared with 261 cars last week and 265
a year ago.
StandstIII In Corn. s ts
Trade, in July corn was practically at
q standstill, shorts apparently hoping
SIMPLY awaiting developments. The
opening figure on July was 1c below
yesterdays close, at Sc, and, although
there was some grain offered at S8c
scarcely any was bid in. The close was
at the opening figure. Trade in other
months was not particularly large but
, good demand existed during the en-
tire session and prices were higher on
rains and smaller movement. Septem-
Der opened $s @1ac to 5s@Ac higher, at
81 lhc to 61&c. advanced to &c and clos
cal receipts were 10 cars, with 13 cars
of contract grade.
Oats We're excited with the new July
selling to sic, or nearly sc higher than
yesterdays close, and the more distant irl
futures also advanced sharply. Heavy
rains IN the West and Southwest were
responsible for the upward trend to the
markets. Shorts were much affrighted
at the unfavorable outlook and covered
freely. September opened 5s0%c high
er at 34Ac,. sold up to 35c and closed
to S5c and closed strong and Il hc higher
at SAGE. Local receipts were 76 cars.
Provisions Off Little.
There was a fair amount Of business
transacted in provisions, with offerings
more free than for some time past The
sale OF big line of pork and ribs for
an outsider, caused weakness early in the
supp: rt tothe maryket ami tAe close was
about steady. September pork opened
5@77@c lower at $18.627a @18.65, and aft

were &c lower at 721s.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are: Wheat 40 cars; corn, It's cars;

MIN NJ EAPOLIS.

Minneapols-The local speculative
wheat market opened higher and strong
ing session. The strength was alto
gether due to the weather map, showing
excessive rains throughout large areas of
the winter wheat country. Foreign ca
bles were not encouraging at the start.
Liverpool, London and Paris all opened
weak and lower, but later cables showed
an entire recovery of the loss at Liver
pool and London, with Paris still weaker
tions was the factor for strength which
put the shorts to thinking, and as a re-
suit of thought, covering Of short con-
tracts was the feature of the forenoon.
Commercial news was rather meager be-
cause of telegraphic troubles, many pfi-
vate wire houses being without service,
but enough filtered through to give cour-
age to the longs.
The government report advised that
much, damage had been done to the win
ter wheat crop through continuous rains,
and that wheat was sprouting in the
braska, with nothing unfavorable to the
spring wheat Private advices how
ever, showed that much solicitude is felt
regarding the spring wheat because of
excessive moisture throughout large
areas. There is much talk of a rank
growth, with many complaints OF dam
age by rust. Some observers say. that
this rust is chiefly confined to the leaf
and will not result in much damage as to
yield. Others however, say that the
disease has tackled the stalk and that if
improved weather does not come quickly
much of the growing crop will never be
harvested. 1t is the season of the wear
for such complaints, but there is doubt
about the troubles being generar.
The demand for cash wheat was good
for all grades. Millers were frank buy
