For more than month many people
in this city have been astounded at
the remarkable revelations made to
them by a clairvoyant, named Raph-
ael, who has been giving clairvoyant
readings in the Mansion House.
With a view of ascertaining to
what extent this man can be taken
seriously, representative OF the
Chronicle visited Mr.. Raphael few
days ago. He went there with the
feeling that the gentleman was a
'sfakir, pure and simple. He expect
ed to be duped, and he felt like the
STOOL and his money!" but neverthe-
less he came away as much mystitied
as to the art, as when he went.
The first thing required of the
sssubject' is to write upon piece of
paper his own name, date of birth, and
three questions of any description.
The paper you fold and hold fast to,
as the clairvoyant never asks to see its
contents. What will naturally arouse
your suspicious is that you sit at a
table directly in front of a mirror, and
while writing Raphael will go out of
the room. If it is game OF mirrors,
then the trick is clever, but it is
doubtful if anyone is able to detect
it. But clairvoyance is said to be a
science and not trick. The term
has been used to designate peculiar
nervous condition in which the body
and mind of an individual were
supposed to be influenced by a mys-
terious force emanating from another
person. Again, an implied power of
mental vision or of mental hearing,
or of a mental production of other
sensation which the individual
becomes aware of events happening
in another part of the world or could
tell of the existence of objects which
could not affect at the time any of
his bodily senses.
Mr.. Raphael sums it up in the one
word Concentration, and says there
is nothing supernatural about it. In
the early centuries several men
sprang into prominence as possesSors
of a supernatural influence, but their
system was found to be downright
jugglery, and they were denounced as
charlatans and impostors. or late
years, however, the art is not classed
with that of conjuring, but as a
distinct science of magnetism, a
power of mind over mind.
For several years Mrs. Piper
startled the scientific world with her
wonderful visions of the future life.
She was examined by the most emin-
ent phyicians, and questioned by
astute scholars, and she baffled
them all. She was called humbug,
but no one could prove her to be
such.
has now come to be a fad. In the
large department. stores in New York
and Newark you are entitled to a
clairvoyant reading upon purchase of
so many dollars worth of goods
There are many fakirs in the buSi-
ness, and if there is one thing above
another in this world that the great
mass of people love, is to be told they
are the salt of the earth; they will be
rich soon, and that the troubles which
now beset their pathway will be blown
away by the next gentle zephyr.
But there is a mystery which sur
rounds it all, and yet most people are
nothing less than clairvoyants for
they need but a receptive mind and
they will tell you the past, present
and future of any person they ever
knew and of plenty they never heard

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 17.--Todays operations
in stocks were made up almost wholly OF
professional operations of a testing char
acter These seemed to demonstrate to
the satisfaction of the testers that stock
for sale was to be met on advances and
that the offering down of prices did not
promise large success IN dlslodglng selling
orders. The consequence was progressive
dizziness in the trading and slugglshness
in fluctuations In prices. This agrees with
the general expectation OF the most ex-
perienced observers, who saw In the sud
den rally of last Thursday the natural
course following a elimination of the
long decline and leaving a large short IN
terest uncovered aIter the urgent hquI-
dation had been completed. With the
satisfaction of this short interest prices
halted and then declined, but without get
ting back to the low level of last Wednes-
day. although they were near it yesterday
morning.
Pennsylvania was made the leader of
the market and was lifted at one time
more than two points. The movement IN
the stock seemed to be due to organized
efforts and was attributed to the rate at
which subscriptions are being made by
ported that in many cases stockholders
are paying their subscriptions in full all
though the requirement is for the pay
mcnt of only a fifty per cent installment
and the time for its payment extends to
June 81. The settlement of the member

(Special to News and Observer.)
New York June 17.-There was quite
squeeze in the near months at Liverpool
today. but a reaction in the new crop
options. There was considerable hquida-
ton of long cotton here and heavy short
selling due to fine weather in the cottor
belt. indeed, there was the most vigorous
bear hammering that has been noticed for
many weeks which would indicate that
the average room trader is short Of the
market. while it is well known that Wall
Street is still heavily short of the new
crop. Two or three days of good weather
has a sentimental effect, but it does not
repair the great damage to the crop, and
as the season is fully three weeks late
with the crop badly in the grass, a per-
feet season is required from now on to
produce anything like an average yield,
and it is well known that with the great
scarcity full crop will be needed to pre-
vent the price from going so high that
consumption will 10 curtaled The con-
tinent continues to buy the fall months

pool New Orleans was heavy buyer in

in the new crop positions. Liverpool
cables were UNEXPECTEDLY favorable, reach
ing an advance of 13 to ID points on the

respond to the advance in Liverpool and
the early advance in near months was
soon lost. This was due to liquidation
and to more favorable news from the
country and an Improvement in the

weather with only a minimum of rain. The

New York, June 1.-THE dry goods mar
ket has shown a continued disposition to
advance with operations of buyers of a
cautious nature. Buyers are influenced
somewhat by weather conditions and the
high prices act as handicap to free trad
ing, though recognized as warrantable.
Jobbers are experiencing fine house
trade.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, June 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened at an advance of 9Q15 points
under English cables which at the time OF
the Iocal opening were anywhere from 6 to
20 points higher than had been expected
The gains abroad following yesterdays
pronounced weakness were attributed by
some to scalping operations on the part
CT the big bull SPECTATORS and were quite
general considered as an indication thal
these still retain the mastery OF the SIT
uation so long as the English market is
concerned at least. Still after prices here
had advanced 2IS points over the opening
figures on the near months there was
renewal of the realizing and selling recent
ly noted under which prices were grad
ua Yy forced downward with the new crop
months showing especial weakness and as
a result of the better weather. Reports
were again circulated that New England
was shipping cotton to New Orleans and
during the day it was said that cotton
was leaving here for the same destination.
Around midday the old crop months,
however. rallied slightly under moderate
covering, while the new crop months con-
tinued to show relative weakness, Novem-
Der selling down to 1908 and January to
9.94. Later the room took profits and at the
c,ose these positions showed a recovery
from the lowest of to 5 points, while July
was within l point of the best for the ses-
SION at 1928.
The general list was finally steady, net
points lower to II points higher. Total
sales futures were estimated at 300 900
bales.
The weakness here was encouraged by
the easier market at New Orleans leading
TO reports that the bulls there had aban-
doned their position to the repeated as
sertions that mas In practically all sec
tions would ship a part of their reserve
supplies to that centre for delivery on July
