selling of cotton by parties who have
bought and who are now taking their
profits.
The indications are that there may be
yet another small decline in the market.
but the figures are not expected to be
very much smaller and this conclusion is
drawn by long headed cotton men in
Raleigh.
The hold that as the price has gone
down very slowly that this is proof that
the market has absorbed the heavy hold
ings thrown on it by SPECTATORS who
wished to see the color OF their moEev.
and that in the face of the sales the
market shows a strong undertone. II
there had been any chance tor a big
break and ultimately very low prices the
crash would have been pushed by the
bears when outside sellers Put their cot
ton on the market The "bulls' are not
in despair and expect cotton 20 60 up
egain. while it is now selling at Q good
price.
Mr.. T. 3. Parker the business manager
of the Farmers Alliance, speaking of the
cotton prices says he has advised the
farmers to hold their cotton and sell
anyone could have foreseen higher prices.
He thinks the meeting OF the cotton mil!
non in Charlotte may temporarily lower
prices, but that there will be no general
movement of the mills for curtailment
He further says
"Now. seriously, this meeting of the
cotton rill men at Charlotte should put
the farmers to thinking and see to it that
the prediction OF a 100000 bale crop
shall never come to pass until the re-
ouirements of the trade demand it.
have great faith il the newspapers Of the
South and 1 an confident that every edi
tor will preach against material in
crease in acreage for next year, especially
in the face of the fact that ten-miihon-
bale crop will bring to our people two
million dollars more than thirteen-mil-
lion-bale crop would. The alliance IN this
State will preach against a large crop.
and I think the farmers organizations
in Eli the cotton-growing States viii co
likewise. with all these agencies at
work il is to be hoped the acreage for
next wear will not be abnormally ia-ge.
If not the present high prices will rule
throughout another season"

Only few hundred pounds damage was
done by the fire, which was confined to

folk was Immediately notified of the oc-
