A Great Demand Among
the Mills for It.

Government Will Say That There

CrCp.

Cotton went up the hiil yesterday and
the farmers who sold here were delight
ed with receiving II il cents a pound for
their offerings.
The receipts were light, but IS bales
being sold, and the prices ranged from
II to II IA cents q pound. a year ago
the receipts were 250 bales. with prices
Of "a to 8 cents a pound.
The buyers here are anxious for cotton
and not enough is being brought to mar
ket to fill the demands made on them.
The various mills which. get cotton from
the Raleigh market are calling tor sup
plies, as their stocks OF cotton is run
ming low.
That cotton is needed by them is shown
by the inquiries made Of the cotton
buyers here. The out-of-toWn mills in this
section are all asking for cotton from this
market, but the demand cannot be sup
Piled.
The future market in New York y~ester-
day was wild, and cotton futures went
up there. January, which closed on the
previous day at Ills went TO 1873, an ad-
vance Of 10 points. while December cot
ton went from 11.12, the closing price on
Friday, to 1925 yesterday. The advance
for all months was marked in this pro
portion.
The increasing idea that the crop this
year VIII be in the neighhorhOod OF ten
and a quarter million bales IS responsible
in a large degree for the advance. The
government report viii be issued next
Thursday, and this is expected to CON
firm the rumor of the ten and a quarter
million bales figure.
This week there Is expected to be very
little change till the report is issued, and
farmers can confidently reckon On re
ceiving Il cents and over for the cotton
which they bring to this market. The
market yesterday closed firm at the dg-
ures quoted.
From the cotton letter Of J. N. Aver
and Company, of New York, the inference
is drawn that that firm expects q lalge
crop this season. The letter says.
What one may think OF the cotton
market is OF little consequence. For some
weeks past it seems to have been made
to do just what was wanted by certain
interests. 1t IS not subject to such fac
tors as have formerly influenced the
course Of prices, and it may be Uhat a
new era in cotton IS at hand.

for the utter humiliation of deer in the
northern half of the State is threatened
by the great gray timber wolves, which
have become alarmingly numerous.
The northern part of Minnesota is one
OF the best deer-hunting grounds in the
world. Wolves were not pronounced
pest in this region until year or two
ago. when it was noticed that they were
increasing rapidly in numbers. and this
winter they seem to be thick as rabbits.
1t is extremely difficult TO kill the
wolves. They are so wise that it is next
TO impossible to get shot at them. to
trap or poison them. Emboldened by
hunger they will sometimes allow them
selves to become target for the rife.

he unthinkingly rubbed it. The next day
1t was greatly infamed and an opera

News of fearful loss of life in a de-

Sea Islands last month, reached San
Francisco. on the steamer Mariposa,
direct from Tahiti. The loss of life is
estimated at !, 900 souls. On Jan. IS last
. huge tidal wave accompanied by a
terrific hurricane, attacked the Society
Islands and the Puamoto group with a
fearful force, causing death and de-
vastation which has never before been
eQualled in that land of dreadful storms.
The storm reigned several days, reaching
its maximum strength between Jan. IA
and 16. From the meagre news received
at Tahiti up to the time of the sailing of
the Mariposa, it is estimated that 1000 of
the islanders lost their lives. 1t is feared
that later advices will add to the list.
The surviving inhabitants are left desti-
tute of food, shelter and clothing, ali
having been swept away by the storm.
