STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Oct. 31.-Today's bank state
ment proved to be the usual enigma to
stock market observers The statement
reports a decrease in cash of IS, 694. 5000.
There are number of estimates compiled
every Friday of the weeks currency from
the bank officials themselves Yesterday
none of these estimates regarded as re-
liable showed cash oItgo for the week
of less than thirteen million dollars and
some of them ran to over $500 600.
Last Saturday the bank statement in its
item of cash reserves failed to show TIE
estimated decrease by $4,000,000. Under
the workings of the average system last
weeks discrepancy would tend to be cor
rected in this weeks statement. This
conclusion is unavoidable that the actual
showing of the cash reserve item in TIE
bank statement, if it correctly represents
the actual condition of the banks. must
be based upon money movements not
disclosed to tie public in the information

New York Oct. 31.-The dry goods mar
ket this week was in a firm condition and
yet the volume of business shows a GER
tain reduction from the comparative ac-
tivity which marked the first of the
week. The buying was conservative and
yet there is indication in certain quarters
that buyers are willing to anticipate their
needs to a certain extent. Jobbers are
tfansacting only a moderate business.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
New Orleans, Oct. 31.-Spot cotton quiet
but firm. Sales. 10000 bales. including .
$50 to arrive. Quotations advanced 1-Sc.
under the influence of futures and the I'M
provement IN New York.
Futures opened unchanged to points
higher The weather forecast was bad,
general rains in the western portions
o. the belt were also considered an un-
favorable feature and was made good use
of to boost prices. The weak shorts soon
became alarmed at the advance, began to
run for cover and flooded the market with
stop orders. Heavy port receipts appar
emily had no effect on prices, the advance
continuing to the end of the half day
session, when the hist showed net gains
of 90 to 90 points.

Thomas Jefferson aud Jonatha n
Edwards.
(Justice Brewer.)

Starting with the consciousness of pos
sessing freedom of the will, why should
not every soul steadily move on toward
religious and political liberty? Was l. Il
mere coincidence that Jonathan Edwards
and Thomas Jefferson, within less than
quarter OF a century, wrote the Freedom
OF the Will and the Declaration Of In
dependence, which have so influenced tue
destinies of this republic and have made
their names immortal? Were these men
and their associates who laid the founda-
tons of our national life mistaken? We're
their utterances the solemn declaration Of
eternal truths. or the childish babbliEgn
OF passing error? Is it or is it not true
that man stands today with freedom OF
will to choose between virtue and ylne,
right and wrong, good and evil? Is Il
or is it not true that the consent o. t
governed lies at the foundation of all
just government? Somehow or other,
strongly believe IN the faiths IF the
fathers, and yet | cannot be irsensibic
to the fact of present large dissent.

Among the Railroads.

The Railway World shows that i'll the
last few years the exports this country to
tailed s5OS .237 900. against s472 1894 900 the
previous year. This is an increase for
Southern ports of "a per cent, against
80 of / per cent. for other ports of the
United States OF the total exports Of the
country the South originated SO per cent.
A cause and indispensable condition of
this rapid progress along practical lines III
recent wears the World thinks. is the large
investment of capital in railways in the
South. In 1880 that section had but 2O,5O0
miles whereas IN 1900 there were 1000
miles representing new influx Of capital
to the amount of $1,500000.000. This
growth of mileage had had its sequel in Il
tremendous growth of business. Products
formerly worthless for want of access TO
the worlds markets now quicken the cur
rents Of trade. This Is seen i'll the traffic
statistics of important Southern railways
Taking the Louisville and Nashville and
the Southern Railway as thoroughly rep
rcsentative, including in their rseoursec
all the staple commodities of the Southern
territory" 1t is noted that the Louisville
and Nashville since 1890 has increased its
mileage from 1866 miles to $500 and its
yearly gross earnings from $lS,S46.00O to
s35, 415 900, an increase in IA years OF 4
per cent in mileage and IS per cent in
gross earnings. Since its incorporation, in
1894. the Southern Railway has increased
It's mileage from 4139 miles to $3.50 miles
and its gross earnings from $16,643000 to
SAP. 1854 900, an increase of GA per cent. in
mileage and 155 per cent in gross earnings.
A mill 40 20
with the former road has been 81 per cent,
with the latter 81 per cent The other
railways of the South have had like de-
velopment, their prosperity being due
largely to the intelligent interest taken by
their managers in the creation OF new IN
dustries along their lines. noticeable
contribution to the present economic sit
uation in the South is to be seen IN the
improvement of terminal facilities, with
view to a large expectation of Southern
products from Southern ports. Harbors
are looked after, wharves are bIllt and
railroad tracks are run out to deep water.
Much of the grain trade has thus been
attracted away from Northern ports and
efforts are on foot to deprive the latter OF
their export traffic in other staple pro-
ducts.
People are still demanding better con
nections at Selma and Goldsboro, but the
Corporation Commission does nothing to
compel better connections. Yesterday So
| lictor Larry Moore, of Pitt, was here. He
left Greensboro at a. m. and reached
Raleigh at $50. Two days ago several gen
tlemen left at Selma, hired hack to

Cotton Letter.

Raleigh. N. c.. Oct. 31-The cotton
market took things into its own hands
this morning and simply ignored the low
er Liverpool prices and factors that were
in any way against an advance. Bac
weather in Texas was the feature OF the
morning and shorts simply fell over them
selves to buy cotton. 1t begins TO look
as though the South was getting very
much interested in the long side of cot
ton. The buying this week has been or
an enormous scale and the we'll known
propensity of the Southern Spectator to
keep on as long as the market advances
has brought big profits. In the evert
OF a good advance now the level Will be
where reaction of 4 matter OF half
cent will not shake holders out. The event
o. the news recently has been the Brad
streets report on cotton. 1t Is SAID the
evidences of a short crop are such as 20
make indications point to yield no lar
gel than last year if as large This Is by
far the most serious news the spinner
could have It means serious time
before spring While the market has al
re adv mad good advance, no one knows
what may happen if buyers once get the
small crop idea firmly fixed in their minds
There is nothing in cotton to sell the
market short on this year. In the even;
Of break we would buy cotton TO hold
for higher prices Europe is much exc'-
ted over the situation, and the American
spinner may lose his head at any time.
Dry goods conditions are not, favorable.
nor are finances. but cotton is buy on
