Talked Politics, But Not for Publication

a number Of prominent Republicans
were seated in the lobby of the Airing

prominent in the little circle were eX-
Postmaster General Charles Emory

Afaniey. Of Maine.
Both those men enjoyed their say. and
while their conversation was in sub
dued tones, there was no mistaking the
subject Of their talk. The President
served as the topic Of conversation. aud

Gen. Cox's Experience With Sheep

Mr.. Samuel Archer, Statesville, n c..
Dear Sir:-In reply to your favor I
beg to say. | have been partially en-
gagged in sheep husbandry for some ten
years. l have mainly good Shropshiros
and they pay me 100 per cent per an
mum. When l began raising them the
ordinary lambs of this county sold from
rs cents to 81 each. l have received in
the local markets offers of $3.50 each for
my lambs the ensuing season. My sheep
run out and receive but little care; they
are herded nightly with my cattle. Our
native grasses are lespidya broom, WIRE,
nut, spear, crab or crop grass, etc. For
my stock generally l plant annual or
crimson clover COW peas, rye, etc, but
to no great extent. My lambs are
dropped from December to May, and l
rely on twins to make them equal, if not
exceed the original flock. Indeed, / had
an ordinary grade eve, which gave birth
to three sets of twins one year, and ell
were very fine. The first pair weighed
from so to 60 pounds each by the first
of May. | have focks on separate farms,

markets. | should mention, the sheep

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Feb 14.-Trading approached
near the level of stagnation in the stock
market today. 1t was not until the last
half hour of the session that the first
sale in either Sugar or Manhattan was
recorded Up to that time there had
been only one or two transactions in Uni
ted States Steel. The movement of prices
in such a market can have little signifi
canoe unless of negative character. The
selling pressure which was notable yes
, to-day was relaxed today and there was
even some evidence of support here and
there, especially in the Gould group, in
which Wabash preferred was lifted nearly
a point.

Especial to News and Observer

tODtCldI
New York, Feb. 1.-THE Liverpool
market opened a little lower and looked
weak at one time today. Support APP
peared, however and this closed Liver
pool higher than yesterday. We regard
this as manipulation pure and simple.
From all we can learn the position is
a most precarious one at this level. An
operator who generally knows what IS
going on stated this morning that there
never was bigger deal or bigger gamble
in cotton. 1t would seem as though there
would be a limit to this at some point.
The pool may be able to shove the market
higher. But it is running in the face
of Providence to do much in cotton at
this price, and under present market
conditions. The spinners of the world
hold between 100000 and 500, 0on -
more cotton than last year. And yet
we are at the high price of last year.
Later, in May or June, when it is proved
that the crop is less than requirements,
we might easily have a repetition of the
summer of 1900 when cotton went to ten
cents. But for the present prices have
had a big advance, the market is loaded
with long cotton. No one is short and
a sharp break is more than likely. The
crop movement this week is likely to eX-
coed last year by $4,000 bales. which will
bring the total to almost 100000 bales
over last year. This looks like a larger
crop than a year ago. and pretty soon
We will Iegin to talk of the next crop.
We would wait for a break.

New York, Feb. 14.-Just such reaction
as we have had today is the best thing
that could happen to the market under
existing conditions. The New England
crowd sold at least $4,000 bales Of May
cototn during the two hour session this
morning The principal buyer was one
of the largest spot houses in America.
This large spot house does not buy flu
lures at 912 cents unless they are selling
spot cotton at considerably higher fig
ures. 1t is hardly necessary to make any
comment upon such condition In view
of the high prices. however, it is well to
buy only on 10 point reactions.
