COTTON MANUFACTURERS ALARMED
The continued rise in the price Of raw
cotton and the stagnation in the cloth
market, together with certain other
upfavorable features. are causing some
uneasiness among many of the mana
gers of the forty manufacturing cor
porations in this city. Mill owners
in Rhode Island and elsewhere also
are watching the situation closely, but
in no section has satisfactory reme-
dy been decided upon. Manufacturers
assert that wages, as we'll as the price
of cotton, are too high, while the price
OF cloth Is too low.
Some Of the managers favor gen.
eral reduction in wages, while others
advocate a curtailment in proportion,
but so far there has been little dispo-
sition among mill treasurers to act in
harmony.
Manufacturers say the high price Of
cotton is not the only difficulty which
confronts them. They say the cotton
they are compelled to buy is either
tinged, stained or dirty and they can
not hope to store goods made from this
kind of staple at the high notch costs
now prevailing. Much Of the cotton
that is being offered Is little better
than high grade waste, but the brok-
ers say that prices for other grades are
prohibitive, and there is little hope
for the manufacturers to choose from.

THE postoffice department has de-
cided to abolish the Gallatin, Tenn,
rural delivery route, on which mob
was unwilling to allow Negro to
act as carrier. 1t Is quite possible
that the underlying motive OF the
mob's action was the desire Of some
ruffian to get the Negroes job, and II
the postoffice department would try to
punish the guilty parties, its efforts
would receive commendation. The
justice of furnishing whole commu-
nifty because Of the action of a few
outlaws does not comport with Amer
lean conceptions Of right and wrong.
It used to be said that the postoftice
department was the most business
like department Of the administration.
If this is as true now as it no doubt
formerly was, then the other depart
ments are certainly in bad way.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Cotton is now worth 103 cents
pound with a prospect Of still high.
er price being reached. There is but
little of the staple left in the hands Of
the producers, however. The bulls and
the bears Of the exchanges are ir
complete control.
Tho attention Of the writer has beer
called to the fact that the potato bug
has not made its appearance this year
Several experienced potato raisers
claim that no bugs have been seen
and the writer can testify that he has
examined potato patches without find
ing any bugs. Another circumstance
OF interest in competition with the mat
ter, Is the unusually healthy condi-
ton Of potato plants generally. we
have not heard any attempts at ex.
PLANTATION; but our observation has
been that the potato plant thrives best
In cool damp weather and that the
bug Is most destructive when the sur
Is hottest. The weather, since pota'
toes were planted, has not been favor
able to bugs, and the plants now have
a good start. It is quite probable tina,
If the weather should turn hot ano
dry the bugs would begin to appear
in large numbers; that Is, unless the
eggs have been killed, which is not
likely.
We are not willing to say that we
see any probability Of the early devel'
opment Of Yorkville into q! large city;
but we have no hesitation In giving II
as our deliberate judgment that the
promise of steady and substantial
growth was never better than 1t Is
now. The situation is like this. AL
though hedged about by more progress
sive towns, the advantageous position
of Yorkville in the centre Of large
and prosperous territory Is unques-
tionable. The situation Is such as to
invite enterprising people who are
competent to utilize the business op-
portunities presented. The Victor Oh
mill came here because Of these con-
ditions, and the proposed National
bank Is coming for the same reason
reason. Both these enterprises make
other enterprises easier to secure
There are in Yorkville now a number
Of prosperous enterprises which prom
ise large developments and something
can be calculated upon by the induce
ments that are held out to various 9TH
ers that are looking for just such ad-
yantages as are here offered. The out
look for Yorkville Is certainly encour-
aging.

to the Woods.
The Pilot News, Of Pilot Mountain,
N. c., has the following in it's issue of
last Friday:
Our town was shocked from center
to circumference Sunday morning when
it became known that Mr.. ]. A. Stone
was gone, and everybody was asking
everybody else what was the cause
and where he had gone. 1t was not
known by any one outside Of his fam
lily that he contemplated such move.
Having been connected with the Pilot
Bank and Trust company, as cashier,
for a number of years, it was thought
by some that perhaps there some
thing was wrong, but we are glad to
state that so far as known everything
is all right. He has been mayor or
Pilot Mountain ever since 1t was In
corporated with the exception Of two
years, and his accounts with the town
are all right. He has been a promo
ter of, and identified with, several In
dustries for the upbuilding Of the town
and community and. we regret very
much that circumstances were such
that he saw cause to leave. The let
ter below will explain itself:
WASHINGTON, May S, 1903.
"Mr. ]. E. Hart, Ed. Pilot News, Pilot
Mountain, N. G.
Dear Sir-Knowing that there Will
be quite stir, and a thousand and one
questions asked as to my sudden dis
appearance from Pilot Mountain, you
will please publish this letter for the
benefit of all concerned. I simply left
Pilot Mountain for the reason the town
has so many wise people, Qncluding
some Of the women) that one cannot
even think Of attending to his own
business affairs, for some one else Will
be ahead of him every time, and as
others there knew so much more about
my affairs than I knew myself, l de-
cided to look for a location where the
people are not so wise.
Wishing you and the Pilot News
much success, l beg to remain,
Yours truly,
~. A. STONE"

THE Associated Press dispatches OF
a few days ago stated that the treas
ury department has held up a bill
presented by Collector Crum for fees
and expenses on the ground that the
law forbids the payment Of such bills
until the appointee is duly confirmed
by the senate. This brings the Crum
matter to an issue. He Is now pay
ing $40 a month on his indemnity bond
and if the senate should finally fail to
confirm his nomination he will lose
all that he would otherwise receive
for fees and expenses.

IN THE HANDS OF sPEcULAToRs
Bulls and Bears of Wall Street Having
Picnic With Cotton.

1
There was a wild market In cotton
trading Monday, with prices covering
range of dollar bale in this mar
ket from Saturdays closing quotations
and $3.50 to $500 a bale In New Or
leans. Prices scared at the COM
mencement Of business going up by
leaps and bounds on trading 20 to 20
points here and 80 to 40 points at New
Orleans. The Liverpool markets were
almost equally excited. There spot
cotton advanced 10 points or equiv
alent to $1.00 per bale in our fuctua-
tions to the basis Of 5s Sd per pound
for middling cotton, which Is equiva-
lent to 11.6O cents in our market.
At all points all previous high rec
ords for cotton options and also spot
cotton on this seasons crop were sur
passed. Spot cotton here is held at
about 11.15 cents per pound, and 10Y
cents at New Orleans against 81 cents
last year.
There has not been anything like the
equivalent Of these high. prices since
the last week Of January, 1901, when
option and spot cotton in this market
was forced up to IL cents per pound.
That was the highest record for cotton
since 1890, when it sold in January OF
that year in this market at 123 cents
and about I'd. per pound at Liverpool
after a prolonged session Of bull spec
ulation.
The shorts in the May option here
were practically all driven In last week
except spot dealers who intend to
make good their deliveries. That op-
tion will soon expire. The stock OF
cotton here Of contract grade. which
was only $4,000 bales q month ago, has
gradually been increased to about SO,-
900 bales through the recent steady
advance in prices attracting cotton
here.
| Almost every broker. was loaded with
buying orders when the market opened
and there was great roar when trad
ing began. May sold as high as 11.2O
in the afternoon. July, which closed
at 1854, started at 1O.40 bid, and was
bid up to 1850 before there were any
sales. Then the transactions were on
an enormous scale, ranging from that
price down to 10.45 to 1919, and then
there was a break to 10.41. The Au-
gust option, which closed at 9.97, star
ted at 1920 and 1921, and was as
heavily traded in as July, while the
September option Of next years crop,
which has only just been planted and
which closed at 9.2S, opened IA points
higher at 9.42 and sold up to 9.44 and
then broke 10 points and afterwards
rallied to $40. These three months,
July, August and September, were
those which were most heavily dealt
in.
| At New Orleans the July option,
which Saturday advanced rs points
and closed at 11.45, started at 35 points
higher at 11S0 and then sold at lilo
and 11.75, while August, which closed
at 1859, started % points higher at
1O.91.-New York dispatch.

Russia and China.

The news from the far east with re-
gard to Russia and China continues
mystifying and unsatisfactory.
The official alarm to the effect that
Russia was preparing to close the
port Of Niu Chwang was followed by
assurance on the part of Russia to the
effect that she had no such intention,
and the assurance was accepted as
disposing the matter for the time be-
ing.
On last Friday there came story
to the effect that Russia had re-occu-
pied Niu Chwang, and this renewed
the excitement of few days before
until It was followed by information
from Minister Conger to the effect that
while it was true that Niu Chwang
had been re-occupied by the Russians,
the occupying forces had been again
withdrawn.
Along with the first alarm, there be-
gan discussion as to the probable ac-
ton of England, Japan and the United
States in the premises. It seems that
there is a well-deflned belief on the
part Of the general public that there
is at least an understanding among
the powers last named as to what they
will do in such an emergency, and
whether or not there really is such an
understanding, it Is evident that the
powers interested are very sensible
on the subject.
The discussion that arose in the
light Of recent developments, taken in
connection with official utterances
elicted abroad, and in the United
States, seem to confirm the impression
of an alliance, conditioned, so far as
this country is concerned, upon the
ability Of the administration at Wash
ington to get endorsement Of public
sentiment necessary to such action.
That Russia desires to gobble China,
there is very little question, and that
the other powers mentioned are anx-
ious to prevent such action on her
part is almost as certain.
1t is difficult to explain recent
events, so far as Russia is concerned,
on any other theory than that she is
playing to uncover the real strength
of the opposition, and that she will be
governed in further operations princi-
pally from consideration of possible
consequences.
