Que sube al cielo con las alas del

Es la llama asoladora que

el corazon del pueblo, y, en- vez de
unir almas para la concordia, para
el amor intense, para la conjunction
de ideas en- ell pinaculo de La su-

los patricios incorruptibles, Y ar
ma las turbas del servilismo,
del rencor Y La audacia; cuando ell
.gobernante quiere ser amo y en-
.cuentra servidores que besen sus

Cotton Letter,
Especial to News and Observer

New York, Jan. 27.-The market was
strong today. At S.71 for May yesterday
the market looked like it was going
down. At SS3 this afternoon there was
enough cotton wanted to put the price
higher 1t was the same kind of mark
ct back and forth, but with a recovery
in all markets in a way that showed the
strength of the general cotton position.
Receipts were not excessive and Liver
pool looked very much better today.
Still there was not the speculation neecs-
sary TO carry on the advance. For this
reason many who bought yesterday took
profits at the opening and there was Lot
the cotton for sale later that might
have been expected Commission houses
have been free sellers of late, and If
the market gets started here there would
be less cotton for sale than on the last
advance. Either one of two things is
tue. We are going higher and the sell
ing now will only get people into trouble
or we are going lower, and those who
are buying for support will get into
trouble. It's one or the other, and We arc
free to confess we don't know which,
AS long as the uncertainty continues we
would sell cotton on all advances to take
profits. When the market shows it's col
ors buy freely. So far there is no indi-
cation of material change in prices.
Cotton futures today ranged as fol-
lows:

those who had bought the stock for the
privilege of subscribing to the stock, the
rights for which came off the stock to-
day. The situation in the money and
exchange markets was without apprecia-
BILE change. Yesterdays decline in ex-
port buying of wheat as a, result of
the higher price was a subject of com
ment, and there was keen interest to
learn whether today's reaction in wheat
would lead to renewal of the export de-
mand. The character Of the early ad-
vance in stocks was defined by the readi-
ness of the traders to realize. The SELL
ing of the last hour was a proclamation
Of WEAKNESS with the attempt to get
prices up. The market closed dull and
heavy.
The bond market was moderately ac-
tive and the movement of prices was
irregular. Total sales (par value) ST.
10000.

Total sales today were 443, 900 shares,
including Atchison II 400; Erie $780,

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 27.-Yesterday' i'm
provement in speculative sentiment
seemed to be maintained today, but the
trading was at such low ebb of activity
that it was futile to try to measure the
significance of the changes. Today's
total sales OF stocks were little changed
from yesterday. In few cases there
was buying of stocks on the strength OF
special developments, but this demand
did not follow a rise in prices far and had
very little sympathetic effect upon the
general list. The firmness of the Coalers
was based on the report of net earnings
for New Jersey Central in December,
showing an increase over those of last
December of 1912 600. Confident predic-
tons were made that the Forthcoming
December report of Erie would show
even better results. On the other hanu
the Atchison December report showed all
but SOL of the increase on the gross
earnings taken up by the enlarged eX-
pense account. The rise in American
Smelling was based upon assertions of
very large current earnings and heavy
surplus accumulation. Louisville rose
Oh the rumor that it would benefit in a
largely increased degree hereafter from
the earnings of the Nashville. Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis. Amalgamated was
bought on reports of the acquisition by
the company Of mines in Scandinavia,
and on the rise of price of copper in
London. number of low priced rail
road stocks were lifted. These are fair
examples of the influences which are
allowed to affect the market. Manhat-
tan was under pressure of realizing by

Cotton Letter.
Especial to News and Observer

New York Jan. 27.-Better cables. light
receipts and an abundance of buying, all
combined made today's cotton market an
affair of strength with higher prices at
tending. AS we predicted the advance
has received q new impetus. which will
undoubtedly carry the level above nine
cents.
Cotton goods are strong with an ad-
vancing tendency. 1t is generally known
that several large interests are trying
to put the market higher, while the
short interest is trying to create lower
level to cover. In view of the strength
of cotton and the above conditions, we
believe shorts will be forced to cover at
a materially higher level.

Among the Railroads.

During this freight car panic there has
been no little good natured sparring go
ing on between lumber men and rail
road officials. Now the lumber men are
having their business cards printed with
the following verse on the back:
"Who are you?" the Devil asked, as a
man raped at the gate.
ooh, I'm a railroad man. he said.
'iPlease open-I cannot wait"
"Why do you long to be within this place
of groans and tears?"
The mans frame shook with anguish and
his ashen face showed tears.
He said, con earth l had no peace, my
life was full of jars.
| lied to all the saWmill men because
they wanted cars
The Devil said: GO way, poor man,
this is no place for you;
The hold is full of sawmill men waiting
to put you through.
THEY'VE got a cast-iron freight car, we'll
heated through and through:
THEY'VE held it now so very long, the
DEMURRAGE is up to you"
The increase in business in all sections
has caused the scarcity of cars, but rail
road men say that the worst is over
and by the rush of next season thousand
of new cars will be on the rails.
The Asheville Citizen learns that a
double track is to be built between Ashe-
Vile and Biltmore and other track i'm

An important change has been made
in railroad circles at this place. Here
tOfore all passenger trains on the main
line have been changing engines and
engineers at Salisbury, but yesterday a
bulletin was posted announcing that be-
ginning today all such changes would be
made at Spencer and that all engineers
on the main line on both north and
southbound trains must take charge OF
their engines at Spencer.-Salisbury
Sun.
The officials of the Southern have evil
dence that tends to show that No SIS,
the fast passenger train was
derailed at brownsville last week
by train wrecker. A switch
was thrown open and 80, with
George Kinney at the throttle, came
along at rapid speed The train rain
in the open switch and plunged into a
fiat car of lumber. then into a box car
and on into a coal car Fortunately no
one was seriously hurt, though the
engineer and firemen had narrow es-
cape. Some distance above the open
switch a switch lock was found and
close by a switch key was also found.
What motive any one could have had
for throwing the switch is not known but
the evidence points that way and rail
road detectives are working on the case.
Salisbury Sun.
Commencing with yesterday the Sea-
board Air Line put on a train between
Wilmington and Hamlet, carrying COM

gers which will run on the following

New York, Jan. 27.-The cotton market
opened finn at an advance of % >
points. Later business increased the
advance to S to Is points, the improve
ment followed very strong cables. Whlch,
instead of showing no change OF some
decline as would have been in keeping
with the closing out of the New YORK
market the previous day, reported an
advance by the early cables with the
net improvement final in the matter OF
one to four points on futures and four
points on spot cotton, of which sales, In
the English market, reached $4,000 bales.
Buying was active throughout the session.
Shorts covered heavily. New Orleans
parties were enormous buyers in the at
ternoon. The Liverpool flrmness, accord
ing TO priva tie cables was largely due to
active buying by Egyptian spectators,
and by the covering Of the European
shorts. The upward movement was ac-
celebrated By reports of continued de-
mand in the Southern spot cotton mark
cts from exporters and spinners. Anoth-
er stimulating feature was the large
showing again made by exports, which,
for some days have been exceeding port
receipts. Today the export clearance
reached 1924 bales, against 38,4S4 port
receipts. The close was at a net ad-
vance of to Il points. Total sales, flu
lures estimated at 100000 bales.
