Following closely upon TIE termina-
ton of the football schedules of the
high schools has come the annual gen
eral call for candidates for positions on
the different indoor track and athletic
teams. Since the opening Of school the
energies of the athletes and athletic
instructors and coaches have been de-
voted TO the developing of creditable
football teams. In addition 10 this form
Of sport the boys have also INDUCED In
light outdoor practice, looking toward
the annual outdoor track meet OF the
high schools. Now that the football
schedules have been completed. the teams
have been disbanded. and the equip
ment stored away for safekeeping until
the beginning Of practice at the OPEN
las of school next fall. The teams. with
but few exceptions. report a successful
season as also do the managers and
athletic associations of the several
schools supporting football teams.
The call just issued by the several
schools for track team material has al
ready been responded to literally, and

several schools IN addition to answer

They are placed at a disadvantage in
that they have no field or indoor trace

having a common field to be used by the
athletes has been frequently agitated by
friends of the boys, and OF the schools.

The matter OF the annual indoor athle-

known whether an Independent high
school meet or the competitions will
be held in connection with the meets Of
the local colleges. The first actual

meeting had paid a high compliment to

a test. 7. McCants Stewart had reso-
lutions providing for conference with
the governor on the matter, but they
were voted down. the members holding

sary. 900.
General Hartwell said he had not
shared in the general expressed anxiety
about the County Act, and would pre-

| that suits against it should be fought
| OF as they easily could be, for two
years until the sitting of the next Lee
! gislature when experience would show
what amendments are needed; but as
the banks and merchants are unwilling
to give credit to county officers before a
decision either by the, courts or in Con-
| gress sustaining the act, the only thing
to do is to obtain that result as soon
as practicable, and that his impression
was that the act would be sustained by
the courts.

Cotton Letter

Especial to the News and Observer
New York, Jan. 3.-Following the ad-
vance of the week there was the newt
able Saturday realizing. Holders who
have good profits took them and the
selling was more than enough to supply
market wants. Liverpool advanced beau
tifully at the opening, shooting up
points and then losing about all in a
way that discouraged some of the trade
here at the opening. Selling abroad was
reported due to profit taking and here
to the same cause. Then, too. Houston
receipts for Monday doomed up about
twice last years total. This encouraged
some selling that would not have taken
place otherwise. A large quantity of
cotton appeared around SIC. and January
and March ran along rather close to-
gether most of the time Spot sales in
the South We're very heavy yesterday at
full prices and as long as the demand
continues in the face of a light move
ment, it will be safe to buy cotton on all
recessions. There is likely to be a break
on Monday. Prices have been rushed
rapidly, and the market may be cleaned
of the short interest to an extent that
will let prices down when profit taking
is more general. On a good break of ten
or twenty points, we would begin to buy
again for the break can hardly amount to
much. Receipts are on scale to reas-
surance spinners in a day 1t will take
a large movement for some weeks to-
change sentiment. We do not believe
small crop figures will last all the rest
of the season. We look for smaller esti-
mates for a time, to be followed bW in
creased estimates late. In other words
this is only a phase of the cotton situa-
ton, but a phase that can be turned to
advantage if one chooses. Sentiment is
now bullish. The amount in sight this
week was 10000 bales behind last year
and the excess over last year is now only
$4,000 bales. This does not encourage
II ,0OO, 900 bale estimates, and without
such estimates prices are more likely to
go higher than lower. Until the move
ment is such as to turn sentiment once
more, we believe in holding to the buying
side.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Jan. 3.--Speculative scnti-
ment underwent several rather abrupt
transactions today. Trading apparently
was in the hands of professional opera
tors, almost entirely The first distinct
movement in the market, after period of
listless fluctuations followed the publica-
ton of the November earnings of the
Pennsylvania railroad. The rate of the
rise in operating expenses in this railroad
system was seen to outstrip the gains in
gross earnings. The Pennsylvania lines
directly operated showed an increase in
gross earnings for November of 1891 800,
hut expenses increased 81 1863, 100, so thar
net earnings decreased $671 600 On the
lines west of PittSburg and Erie there
was reported an increase in gross earn
ings of $500, with a growth of s508 900
in onerating expenses, resulting in a de-
crease in net earnings of $414,600 The
whole railroad list weakened sharply I'M
der the influence of this showing. Prices
in some important stocks, including
Pennsylvania receded to a point or more
hollow last night. There was an animated
recovery upon the appearance of the
hank statement. with its unexpected re-
cuperation of $3,644,650 in the surplus
reserves of the banks. Such showing
is almost unprecedented for the first
week in January. In addition, the gain
in cash for the week reaches S5,43o,O0o'
which is almost three million dollars In
excess of the largest preliminary esu-
mates. The re-deposit of cash by the
retail shops, making up the proceeds OF
Christmas trade, is attributed as the
cause OF this showing. The recovery IL

New York, Jan. 3.-Liverpool advices
were hardly up to expectations, although
they were up TO the proper parity, but
some traders bad expected a big rise in
Liverpool this morning and were inclined
to take their profits. When our market
opened and. although speculation show
ed every evidence of broadening, there
was sufficient cotton for sale to prevent
any immediate advance. The reaction,
however, was perfectly natural and
strengthens the position of the market
considerably. The statistical position was
again strengthened during the week and
the spot demand is excellent and ON the
whole we feel confident that March and
May will sci considerably above cents
in the immediate future, and we consider
the market a safe purchase on every
slight reaction.

Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
New York Jan. 3-The cotton market
yesterday and today has sold at practi-
cally the highest prices of the season
in New York, and in New Orleans. The
recent advance has been largely due to
my acceptance of tenders of about 100000
bales of spot cotton delivered to me upon
January contracts. The situation which
l have foreseen from the commencement
of the season has been in measure
realized and discounted. In that spirit
Of cSndor which / always observe towards
the public | take this means or an
nouncing that / have today resold all the
cotton l owned and for the present at
least doubt the possibility of much fur
Their advance IN the cotton market. Those
who have acted upon my judgment have
had the opportunity to liquidate any cot
ton they have owned at the highest prices
of the season, and | am unwilling, even
tacitly to leave any one under a mis-
apprehension of my position. At the low
est possible estimate there remains OF
this years crop to come into sight $500,
900 bales. the worlds visible supply OF
American cotton last evening was about
5000, 900 bales. 1t is thus observed that
there is in the world today an uncon-
sumed total of about 100000 bales oil
American cotton worth about $500, 900, 900
Trade in America has undoubtedly reach
ed its aplogee and | doubt seriously
whether the demand at present will be
equal to the assimilation of so large a
quantity of cotton at current prices
which closely approximate 8 cents pei
pound Later in the season unless con-
sumption be checked by a maintenance
of present values it is probable that q
fresh advance may be initiated, depending
upon the prospects of the next crop, but
for the present / am inclined to advise
all holders of cotton to accept current
figures where obtainable.
