THE COWAN COMPETITIVE CORN.

Six weeks ago we reproduced an item
from the Rock Hill Herald, which, among
other things, mentioned an ear of corn
grown by Mr.. K. III. Cowan in his garden.
This paragraph stated that tho ear of
corn was "nine inches long, having 18
rows and 1,044 grains" Now it just SO
happens that Oconee possesses among her
citizens a gentleman by the name Of r.
III. Cowan, who. by the way, grows an
ear or two of corn occasionally, Seeing
tho item concerning Rock Hills r. H.
Cowan and his corn, Mr.. Cowan, of Oco-
nee, thought he could show up larger
ear than his namesake, and last Friday
he left at The Courier Office an ear that
is 81 inches long, 8 inches in circumfer-
ence, and has 1927 grains. The 26row
ears, he says, are not at all unusual in
his crop. This ear was taken from q
quantity of corn raised on Oconee creek,
ear after ear of which contains 26 rows,
and not many of them contain less than
18-in fact, Mr.. Cowan looks upon corn
with less than 18 rows as in the 'nubbin"
class. If we could got these two r. II.
Cowans interested in a real hot corn con-
test next fall, Oconee and York would be
able to give the Western farmers corn
story that would make their ears tipgle.
The upper counties of South Carolina
are hard to beat when il comes to grow
ing big crops; and Oconee simply can't

There was only, one shot fired and that

eighth and ninth ribs, and passed
through the fore part of the body, com
ing out just above the free border of che

had gone through the body from the
front to the back, but it did not, as it
went through the fore part of the body,
entering above the vest pocket on the
right and coming out below and behind
the vest pocket on the left side. The

lions being to 10 points above yester
days close. Throughout the morning
bull support was strong and prominent
longs by heavy buying prevented the mar
ket for time from following New York

but later they withdrew and allowed the
bears to put prices down. A gradual
slump followed, December closing u

Ware a. Eeland's
Cotton l. etter

Raleigh. n. c., Dec. 10-All that can
be said about the present market is this:
il acts lust as it did between II 90 and
II. 80, two to three weeks ago, and while
the market afterwards Went up a cent and
a half per pound, there is no evidence at
present that this advance is to be re-
heated. Simply the market holds with
wonderful steadiness. The snort sellers
hammer and hammer but at the end OF
il all there is no weakness. The cotton
al gees somewhere, and is absorbed like
a sponge absorts water. IT may be the
long interest is too big and must be re-
duccl before there is chance Of
another advance. The price is certainly
high and there are two sides to the cotton
cues ion at this level We are not willing
to express opinions any more than we
were at the halt around eleven and q
Quarter cents We can only urge the ut
most caution as long as the market shows
SO much uncertainty. There are no evil
dences vet that the crop is ten million or
even eleven million bales. When receipts
begin to fall off and there are no longer
doubts about the size OF the crop, one can
80 ahead. The influence of the govern
ment report will be felt for some time to
come, and for this reason buying by spin
ners around twelve cents is likely to hold
the market Reports from spot houses
slow that a big business is being done
on the break. We learned this morning
that one of the best posted and most re
liable men in the South places the utmost
confidence in moderate crop. His infor
nation IS of the best and it comedies
with what has been heard for weeks re-
garding the crop. Still the price is high
and there is TOO much cotton held for scat
tered holders that we would be very eau
tious at the moment and take profits on
any bulge.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec. 10-The stock market
made another struggle today against the
tendency to reaction, but ultimately sue
cumhed and yielded to a lower level. Net
declines ran to between l and points
fer many prominent stocks. An import
art influence in discouraging the efforts
to hold the market was the heavy and
persistent liquidation in United States
Steel, preferred. The fact that much OF
this selling was attributed to Pittsburg
Steel, which gave it a sinister import to
the speculative mind, owing to the spe-
cial facilities of information as to trade
conditions az that iron and steel center.
The weekly review by the leading au-
thority in the trade was also regarded
as decidedly unfavorabe, owing to the
continued cancellation of stocks of pig
iron Notwithstanding contraction IN
production in the last two months UMPIRE
cedented for suddenness and amount. The
increase in accumulation is said to apply
to the Southern furnaces as well as to
the Northern, notwithstanding the heavy
sales reported in the Southern market
The existence of a better current demand
for pig iron failed to offset the effect OF
this unfavorable showing as did the IA
vorable report Of the better tone of the
market for structural steel United States
Steel, preferred ran off points in the
final dealings, thus deciding the tone OF
the market, which had been wavering and
uncertain up to that time. The furious
speculation in Brooklyn Transit continued
but served rather to cause distrust thar
to foster an advance, owing to a lack
of authoritative information of any sub
stantial grounds for the buying of this
stock The stock opened at decline OF
three quarter, and after numerous fuc
