LITTLE COTTON FOR SALE

New York, February 1.-The cotton market opened steady in tone. with prices unchanged to points higher. and for the rest of the day persistently advanced on feverish demand from shorts and healthy new speculation. From start to finish in fuences from every quarter favored higher market, the chief factors consist ing of bullish statistical reports from the crop country. The visible supply state ment was the most bullish of recent times, and revived reports that "Ameri- can is over-exporting herself, and has a short crop with which to piece out home requirements. Port receipts were esti- mated at 17,000 bales or 1000 less than the same day last year; the English cables were full F to point better than expect ed; interior receipts fell far behind the total predicted yesterday; southern spot market news of private nature was very bullish. At first shorts were inclined to believe the, rise about over, and were dis posed to sell for reaction. But it soon became apparent to all that there was very little cotton for sale, while strong outside interests had important orders in room brokers hands to buy March, May and July options. Late cables from Liver pool and the regulation dispatches from the New Orleans markets reflected a firm situation at those points and light esti- mates for the insight" and for tomor- rows receipts were all that were needed to complete the route of the bear forces Soon May was urgently in demand at S.30 and July at 833, with shorts badly frightened; still later the insight figures came out and gave a much smaller move ment than looked for even by the more optimistic bulls. This showing, with of ficial confirmation of early private ad- vices stating that southern spot markets were firm and higher, intensified the bull ish feeling in the afternoon and greatly stimulated covering. The market further advanced on this support, and for the rest of the session was strong and ae- tive. The. south, Europe, the west and Wall street were liberal buyers on the late advance. Commission houses sold to secure profits. In the last half hour shorts made a nasty dash for cover and rushed prices up in almost sensational form. The market closed firm, with prices net to 15 points higher.

charge of the general management and
will devote himself entirely to the in
terests OF the company. The main Of
fee will be located in Salisbury, with
branch offices at Granite Quarry and the

About 30, 900 acres of land have been
purchased in order that the company may
suffer no disadvantage from adjoining
property holders in the development and
operation of the plant.
In addition to the water power the
Whitney Company owns granite quarry
at Woodside and a copper mine at Gold
HILL On this mine the company has al
ready expended S250,000. A large body
of low grade ore has already been opened
up and the company will erect large
mill at the Narrows for treating this ore
When this mill is equipped the company
will be able to treat 1000 tons of ore
daily at so cents per tom
There is no doubt that this plant will
be instrumental in Fastening the invest
ment of money in various manufacturing
plants. the promoters of which appreciate
the value of cheap power.
North Carolina is to be congratulated
on the wonderful possibilities and even
certain results ahead of this work on the
part of the Whitney Company. 1t will
make the country tributary to it the

great resources, He is in touch with the
best sentiment of the State and enjoys
the confidence of it's best citizenship.
Capt Hambley understands every de-
tail of the great enterprise of which he
is the head. He has been interested and
engaged in South African and East In
dian gold mining property, and his knowl-
edge of mining, manufacturing and how
they are successfully operated is the
knowledge of an expert. Associated
with Capt. Hambley in the development
of the Narrows water power, mines and
quarries in North Carolina are the well
known bankers, Whitney and Stephen
son, of Pittsburg, Pa.
WHAT THE WATER POWER MEANS.
The water power being developed by
the company is second only to the power
obtained from Niagara Falls. The de-
velopment means the saving of 81, 100000
annually, equaling six per cent on near
ly $40, 900, 900. People who contemplate
erecting new manufacturing enterprises
within radius of eighty or one hundred
miles will be able to do so at saving of
twenty per cent over mill using steam
power not in close proximity to this pow
er. The use of this power does away
with engines, boilers, engineers, wear and
tear. Insurance will be greatly cheap
ened. The transmission lines running
from different cities in a radius of 100
miles have only to connect with these
lines without the necessity of maintain
ing separate plants with their separate
unnecessary costs.
This electric power solves also the coal
strike question, as the strikes among
coal miners does not affect the plant
using electricity. There is no danger of
a shut down because of lack of coal. Be-
sides the dust and dirt caused by the
use of coal is done away with. The ad-
vantages of the electric power are so
many and so patent that it is steadily
taking the place of all other power.
Among others may be mentioned that it
avoids the danger and cost of freezes
which so often occur in mills using water
in boilers. The starting of fires is I'M
necessary
