AYERS COTTON REPORT.
They Estimate That About 80 Per Cent of the
Crop Ras Been Marketed.

A report of advices from the cotton
States received up to the 21st of this
month has been received by ]. Nj. Aver
& Co, Cotton Brokers, of New York
summary of the advices shows the
following:
Eighty-three towns report aggregate
stocks of 231 ,021 bales. The same towns
held at the same time last year 451. $3.50
bales. showing decrease in stocks of
220. 662
Sixty-one towns report ninety-five per
cent. of the crop already marketed.
Thirty-fve towns report eighty to
ninety-five per cent. of the crop already
marketed.
Forty-two towns report, separately,
from ten to ninety per cent, of stocks
on hand as compared with stocks held
at the same time last year.
Seventeen towns report stocks on hand
equal to or in excess of stocks held at
the same time last year.
Messrs Aver & Co., state that their
opinion is confirmed that the production
of Arkansas and Texas will be approx

year while the yield of Louisiana and

ceed that of last year by, approximately,
half million bales. They estimate that
about eighty per cent. of the crop has

As TO North Carolina, the report says:
The evidence of comparatively
short crop in this State, and of a lack of
material for a continued heavy move
ment is so pronounced as to make any
details unnecessary.

THE CLOSING SESSION
Last Day of School Superin'
tendents' Convention.
Visit to The A. and NJ Coll ge. Resolutions Of
Regret at Continued Illness Of
Gen. loon.

The Association of City School Super
last session of their annual convention
yesterday morning.
At 10 o'clock, in response TO the cor
dial invitation of President Geo. T. Win
ston, the members of the Association of
City School Superintendent of North
Carolina went out to West Raleigh to
visit the A. and M. College, and inspect
the work done there.
All the visitors expressed themselves
as much delighted with the conditions of
our great college, and much impressed
by the character and excellence of the
boys work.
The first paper of the day was by Sup
erintendent Z. p Moses, of Raleigh. His
subject was: THE Teachers Point of
View" He laid especial emphasis upon
the fact that the great burden of educat-
ing the children of every town now de-
wolves mainly upon women. and that
they should not be required to bear bur-
dens greater than their strength can en-
dure. The utmost care, he said, should
be exercised in selecting teachers, and
be expected to improve from year to
year.
The resolution TO appoint a committee
of three to memorabilia the trustees of
tho George Peabody Fund, given in full
in another column, was then adopted.
A resolution was passed expressing
the regret of the association at the long
protracted illness of State Superintend-
ent T. F. ToCn, extending to him the
hearty sympathy of each superintendent
in the State and wishing for him
speedy and full return to health and
strength
The secretary was instructed to send
copy of the resolution to Superintend-
ert Toon.
The following expression was spread
upon the minutes:
THE association desires to express the
deep regret of all its members at the de-
parture from the State of Prof. p. p
Claxton. As teacher we freely acknowl-
edge the debt that we owe him for the
work he has Gone in the State. His de-
parture will be felt in the entire educa-
tional life of the State, and we believe
that all who have known him in his
labors all over the State will join with
us in this expression of our feelings.
President Winston, of the A. and NJ
College. called the attention of the asso-
citation to a bill now before the House Of
Representatives concerning agricultural
education. After some discussion, a fit
ting resolution on the subject was
adopted.
The thanks of the association were
very gracefully rendered to the press of
Raleigh for the reports of the sessions.
and for all courtesies extended to the
members.

Ashenback continues his trip tomor-
row, going east where he will visit Will
mington, Newbern, Kinston and returns
to Durham. Upon his return he will
probably go to Chapel Hill to coach the
University boys, negotiations being now
in progress to that effect. Should Ash
cast his lot with the Varsity the boys
will practically prove invincible on the
diamond. The news that the Genial
German" will coach the Tar Heel boys
will create despair in the camps of oppos-
ing clubs, especially in Virginia. where
all ball cranks know of ''Ashs prowess
