COTTON STILL ON UP GRADE.
Sold in Raleigh Saturday at II $40
Cents-About Half the Wake Crop
Marketed.

- AW GG UaAS S4OP
Marketed.
Post, 18th: The Raleigh cotton
market on yesterday made a new
high price record for the season, the
feecy staple having closed at IL 3-16
cents per pound. The prices for the
day ranged from 1918 to II 3-16.
The receipts for the day were 218
bales against 172 last year on this
date. The prices last year were 79s
to Z 1915.
A prominent dealer expresses the
opinion that about half of the Wake
County crop has been marketed to
date and that it is rather surprising
that the sales are not even larger
than they are. The considerable
squirt in receipts yesterday, however,
would indicate that the sales will be
considerably more free now as the
market holds up. The receipts until
yesterday have held around about $50
bales per day, but on yesterday they
ran to 21s bales.
The great bulk of the cotton now
being held in the county is in the
hands of the larger planters who are
manifesting a disposition to take
chances in seeing how high prices
vii finally range even at the risk
of the chances for a sudden slump,
for which, however, there is not now
the slightest indication. In fact,
the market is decidedly bullish. Ex-
perienced dealers are expressing the
opinion that fourteen and fifteen
cents is not at all improbable before
spring. The opinion prevails that
while the crop is not short of last
year, the needs of the trade are so
far in excess of the supply that
much uneasiness is really felt in
manufacturing circles.

to-day.
After reading the deposition Of a Amer

Lynch had compelled him to take up arms

come an alien at any time, even after the
outbreak of war.
He referred to the War of Independence;
said there were at least 10000 men of Brit
ish birth in American mercantile marine,
and asserted that there were 2.0O0, 600 per-
sons in America who possessed the two ma
