THE APPROPRIATIONS
The Cash Counted and Fig
ures Made on Possible
Outlay.

The Joint Committee on Appropriations
was in session yesterday afternoon in
the office of the State Auditor, with the
purpose of arranging for the amounts to
be appropriated to the various State in
situations.
The meeting was largely attended by
interested parties. and before the COM
mittee got down to work there was some
peech-making. This was in the interest
of the Agricultural Department of the
A. and NJ College for which $4,000 has
been asked for a new building.
In behalf of this addresses were made
by President Winston and Prof. Burkett
of the A. and NJ. College; Commissioners
of Agriculture S. L. Patterson and Rep
resentative Scott, OF Alamance The
work of the college in agriculture was
explained and the need for the building
was urged upon the committee.
Others were present also to speak OF
the need of their institutions, but after
the four arguments made the commit
tee desired to get at the work. With TINS
in mind Senator Hoey moved that the
committee go into executive session. This
was carried and the visitors filed out.
In the executive session the matter OF
approximations was taken up at once. AS
a basis upon which to proceed statements
we're presented that the revenue OF tho
State for the past year was about $9oo,-
OCO. from which came the fixed expenses
of about $475, 900, this leaving $4,000
from which came 100000 for the ex-
Confederate pensioners and 100000 FOL
the public schools. This left but $110,-
600 for all the charitable and educationa
institutions, thus explaining the dehclt
The committee figured that the income
for the coming year would be increased
perhaps $3.50, 900, making a total OF $3.50,
600 from which to provide for the charit-
able and educational institutions. That
the amount might fall 100000 short OF
this induced the committee to base its
calculation upon $3.50 900 from which to
make appropriations not fixed
The committee then discussed the ag-
ricultural building for which $4,000 was
asked. The committee arrived at de-
termination to give $4,000 year for
four years, $4,000 jim all and to require
the Agricultural Department to furnish
$40. 900 a year for four years, $4,000, thus
making the $50, 900 payable in four years.
The appropriation of $1,000 asked for
the repair of the Caswell monument at
Kinston was reported OF unfavorably.
To the University of North arolina there
was voted $4,000 for putting in and re-
pairing the engines and pumps required.
The committee has rot made its action
final in these matters and it may have
to cut into these as it goes down the
list. this depending upon what is given
TO the others. The committee went no
further in making appropriations, but
adjourned till today.

Market Letter.
Especial to News and observer)


New Orleans, La, Feb. 27.-As Liver
pool advices were not encouraging our
market opened to points lower and
declined to points additional later on
realizing. The bullish visible supply fig
ures and the continuance of untavorable
weather throughout the interior brought
in fresh buyers, occasioning an advance
of to 10 points from the bottom. August
and the new crop months were bought
freely today on the theory that farm
work will be so retarded as to make the
movement very light during the early
part of next season. The near months
closed unchanged to / point higher. Aug
ust improved points and the new crop
options advanced points. The amount
brought into sight during the week was
166 900 against 192, 900 last year and the
total marketed from September l to date
has been 8, S55,000 against S,739,0OO last
year the visible supply of American dur
ing the week decreased $4,000 against a
decrease of $4,000 last year and the total
to date is 2,S64000 against 1891 coo last
wear and 3,040, 900 year before last, spin
ners taking of American cotton during
the week were 269 900 against 2S1 600 last
wear making the total takings to date
1876 900 in excess of last year. They have
added 70 600 to their reserve stock this
wear. The splnners of the world now hold
in stock of American 2,042, GOO bales as
compared with 1911 900 last year, an ex-
cess of 431 900 against which the
supply of American shows decrease to
date of 525, 900 under last year, therefore
it will be readily seen that almost the
entire deficiency in the visible is due to
the excessive taking of spinners, which is
beir rried by them to the visible s
ply the expense of the visible. In
othe. words, instead of the merchants
carrying this stock in the visible, the
spinners already have 1t in the invisible
and they may consequently withdraw
from the market when least expected.
Sentiment continues very favorable to
the visible, but we think present prices
are high and discount everything in the
situation on its merits, barring manipula-
ton. There Is a tendency. however, to
manipulate in all markets, which make
opinions valueTess for the moment
