Marie Antoinette, escaping from the
Tuileries,. turned to the right instead Of
to the left after passing the inner arch.
She lost her way, lost time and by this
means lost her own head, and the head
of Louis XIV. So the story of Carlyle
runs.
Queen Draga of Servia meant to leave
Belgrade, but waited for a going away

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Nov. 9.-The continued IL
quotation in the United States Steel Sc
curites again overshadowed the whole
market today. The sympathetic response
in the general market was very slight and
the effect of the special movement IN
United States Steel was rather to repress
the trading than to depress the tone. The
market as a whole had its share in repress
ing activity and the traditional disposition
in Wall Street to pause and take Observa
tions upon the assembling of Congress was
also evident There was feeling that
the proceedings in Congress may take
turn tc which active interest may attach
in Wall Street AL, three of the active
securities of the United States Steel Cor
poration sold during the day lower than
ever before, the preferred stock at 501a, the
common at 1925 and the second bonds at
65-S. In the case of the bonds and the
common stock the previous low records
were barely shaded at these figures and
the transactions in them were not partic-
ularly notable. In the preferred stock,
however there was a constant outpouring
all day and an amending succession of Of
ferings of one thousand blocks and up
ward TIL. special source of this selling
was as much a mystery as at all times,
but the manner of the selling gave color
10 the supposition that a very large ac-
count was in process of liquidation Of
ficials of the corporation denied the nu-
mcrous reports of heavy cuts in prices,
but this did not prevent the general con
viction that prices throughout the trade
would be readjusted to the new basis
fixed by the reduction in steel billets.
The transfers of currency to the interior
were limited to $780, to Chicago, which
is the lightest for any one day Tor some
time past Additional announcements
were made of gold engaged for import to
the extent of $750,0O0. Call money, how
ever, rose to six per cent In the late deal
ings and the necessity for conservative ac-
ton in the money market Is generally re-
oognized The price Of gold rose in Lon

New York, Nov. 9.-+There was a big rise
in the Liverpool market III the morning
and this cheered the bulls. But il may
be added that the bear army consists U
nothing but an insignificant remnant
Prices in this market made a further ad
vance at the opening. There was gooI
buying everywhere, and while the expect
ed reaction has failed to materianze even
some rampant bulls are inclined to favor
temporary setback since the advance
has been so fast Situation has under
gone no change and the census report OF
Saturday is regarded as intensfying the
strength of the position. Prices are eX-
pected to reach a much higher level be
cause of the certainty of a shortage IN the
worlds requirements, and 1T Is predicted
that mills will be compelled to advance the
price OF their product everywhere There
was setback after the opening, ana
whereas figures were to 16 higher all was
soon lost on profit taking by Saturdays
buyers Prices then moved up and down.
Big receipts at Houston for tomorrow
scared some holders. There were reports
of bigger receipts coming and decline in
futures was expected. Port receipts today
IS, 900 against $4,000 asst year. Estimated
at Houston for tomorrow 40 to Al, 900, New
Orleans 81 to $4,000 and Galveston 3S to
$4,000 bales. With the prices at their
present high level setback should be
taken advantage of, as with receipts as
heavy as they are at present greater
strength will certainly be seen when they
begin TO fall of.

Cotton Letter.

Raleigh n. c.. Nov. Sit was certainly
an ideal day to take profits. When Il
market goes VI as this has for ten days
end then has a CONFUSION at the top
such as Was seen on Saturday with Il
wild opening on Monday morning. it IS
safe to conclude that for the time be-
ing wisdom rests in taking profits. What
ever the outcome may be next spring,
eleven cents at this time is wonderful
price and deserves careful consideration.
We find too many willing to take profit
at this point to lead to anything but
very cautious attitude on the market.
The blocks of cotton coming on the mar
ket are sensationally large. That the
position is strong is admitted, but there
is a pile of cotton coming in from the
South now. Houston received 20, 900
bales last year and estimates are for
40, goo bales tomorrow. This VIII lead to
larger crop views before long, and will
cause a halt in the market. 1t Will be
very simple matter for the market to
break to ten and a halt cents, and we
would not be inclined to buy very much
cotton before the market does break forty
or fifty points It will be remembered
that when cotton sold at ten and a
quarter cents, week ago, there was a
lot of unexplained buying. AS long as
that kept up it was easy to see how we
would have an advance. But over eleven
cents this cotton is being offered for
sale and the same line of reasoning leads
one to anticipate a setback. The bottom
will not drop out and buyers who begin
on forty point break Will make money.
The wild fire has not burned out, and
cannot do so in few days. On a good
break tomorrow we would begin to pick
up little cotton.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Nov. 9.--The spot cotton
market was quiet with light offerings.
Buyers claimed that cotton could be
bought at an eighth under board figures.
Sales 2.40O bales, including 1,450 to arrive.
Quotations unchanged. Futures opened
unchanged to five points lower. Not
withstanding the advance in Liverpool
the local market continued to decline until
prices were II to 81 points below Satur-
days figures The decline was attributed
to heavy port receipts and flood of
selling orders from the country. There
vas also active short selling. The gen
eral sentiment was that prices had gone
high enough and that reaction was
due. From the highest figures of the day
there was a decline of from 10 to IA
points, making the net gains from 10 to
IL goints.
