worst of such a mode; 1t soon degener-
ntes into a caricature. Lace blouses are
all the rage. and they are made over
the palest OF satin Innings, often these

NEW YORK. Dec 1S-The stock mar

characteristic OF holiday dizziness
There was a slight Improvement in the
initial dealings, and in the first half
hour the general market made slight
advances. Subsequently the movement
was somewhat reactionary, and in a
few Instances quotations fell a tribe

The dealings were wholly professional
and possessed little significance. The
market was free OF selling pressure.

RISING TEMPERATURE
TRAVELLING THIS WAY
Relief From Cold Wave May Be Expect
ed Next Week or Perhaps Sooner.

Continued cold today, and tomorrow
partly cloudy and not so cold.
Such is the prediction of the bright
young men with the eagle eyes who
search the stars and skies and take note
Of the flight Of the wild geese in order
to predict things that may come true
If something else doesn't happen. Skat-
ing is in order everywhere east OF the
Mississippi Valley. The temperature is
from to II degrees below the normal in
all that range Of country. and there are
no particular signs OF an early fall of
the mercury.
The weather sharps say that in the
East temperatures viii continue low,
but the representations about a rise
are as uncertain as the clouds on picnic
day. However, the area of rising tenn
perature seems TO be moving slowly this

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-Despite the ir-
regular cables the cotton market opened
active, with a rush of buying orders on
the call. These consisted of overnight
stop orders and bull support, the latter
presumably designed to make a spot TO
sell on as the subsequent action of the
market indicated. Immediately after the
call prices turned easier, and lost about
four to six points under general realiz-
ing by the bun element.
The market at Liverpool, which had
rallied from the extreme low point on
the strength Of the market at New York
at the opening later declined again Pri-
vate advices from the South noted a
big export demand for spots at almost
any figure. Weather in the belt is fav-
orable and rain is expected tomorrow in
parts.
Private cables intimated that less fav-
orable developments in the Japan-Rus-
STA affair had contributed to the unset
tied feeling in l.iverpOols market.

The Washington times., 1903-12-18

Talk of renewed activity by the old
bear party has caused no alarm. as the
conditions in the money market are so
much easier than usually prevail at this
time of the year. The public interest
is also so light that an important slump
is not looked for.
1t is important that the stock market
become accustomed to bond issues, for
the time is drawing near when this
method of raising money will be more
generally employed. Market experts are
of the opinion that such issues will not
have an effect on prices under present
conditions. This belief is assuring, es-
pecialIy in view OF the report that a
number of new issues are being ar
ranged.
A bullish attitude is now taken on the
copper trade and increased consumption
is looked for in view of the Industrial
revival in Germany. Expectations of a
resumption of active building operations
in this country is also an optimistic
factor.
The usual demand for bonds and other
investment issues that usually sets in
just before the January disbursements,
has been conspicuous for its absence
this year. The fact has caused COM
ment. 1t seems TO indicate that public
confidence is none too strong.
Some confusion has arisen over the
announcement that a dividend will be
paid on Steel common in January. The
assumption in some quarters is that an
other dividend has been declared. The
dividend that will soon be paid will be
the dividend that was declared in Oc-
tober. The United States Steel Cor
poration always declares it's dividends

several months in advance of the period

As the country has already engaged or
imported over S21. 900 of the precious
metal in the last few weeks the neces-
sity of additional imports Is not appar-
ent, especially as the New York money
market IS in no need of further assist
ance from Europe In saying that this
market has received assistance from
abroad, the fact that the gold brought
in represents the payment by Europe Of
it's obligations on account of merchan-
disc bought in this country should not be
lost sight Of. The United States is now
a creditor nation, and IL the money mar
ket should need more gold from Europe
it would not have amy difficulty in Sc
curing it.
1t is All interesting circumstance that
nearly all the national banks in Wash
ington have designated the same day
on which to hold their annual meetings.
The second Tuesday in each January is
the day, and this year IT falls on Janu-
airy u.
There is no apparent explanation OF
the fact that the meetings win take
place simultaneously. for the setting OF
the date is arbitrary The statutes gov
erning national banks in the United
States provide that the annual meet
ings shall be held in the month Of Janu-
airy of each year, but no particular day
is given.
The date for the yearly gathering Of
officers and stockholders is usually

Standing in Their Own Light.
Lumbert on RObesonian

Lumberton Robesonian.
The Greensboro Record observes
that:
1.-The people of North Carolina are
standing in their own light when they do
not demand a rigid enforcement of the
vagrant law already on our statute
books. 1t is an effective remedy and will
do more good than anything yet ad-
vised"
This is, without question, true all
over the State, and especially is it
true of our small towns. There is
decidedly too much idleness here,
and unless our observation is at
fault it is on the increase. Idleness
breeds discomfort and fosters the
spirit OF unrest, which is the parent
OF most OF the crimes perpetrated. In
our town there have been enough
cases of vagrancy. which if punished,
would have furnished sufficient hands
to have materially decreased the
cost OF keeping our streets in repair
during the past year, yet to our
knowledge there has not been one
conviction and punishment. Our
authorities should look into the mat
ter and see that our streets are kept
clear of idle loafers, for unless it is
done we must pay the penalty by
enduring the occasional commission
OF crimes or perhaps in some organ
lied outbreak of the malcOntents.
