STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Nov. 4.-There was Il slight
increase in the rate of activity in trading
in stocks this morning with some show OF
but neither lasted the day out.
The market had fallen back into a pro-
fessiona, rut by the afternoon, and the
level of prices was quite generally below
Mondays closing. In few of the promi-
nent stocks the decline reached point,
but the whole movement was trivial and
the market insignificant. The profession
ais, who had the market to themselves,
bid up prices in the morning in the hope
that some outside demand would be at
tracted by the engagements of gold for inn
port. Their idea was that possible buy
ing had been restrained on Monday owing
to the tendency of the holiday. The stocks
of New York corporation also shot up this
morning under operations by professional
traders, who based their transactions on
expectations of possible results of yes
terday's election. The opening advance
was in part manipulated as was shown by
the free selling to realize. The movement
in these stocks dates back to last week.
when there was a light accumulation based
on the coming election. batch OF fairly
favorable railroad earnings had some Ell
feet in helping the opening advance, but
the railroads were a minor feature IN the
market all day The check to the adj
vance began in the United States Steel
securities. Both the common and pre-
ferred stocks sagged to within small
fraction of the previous low record. The
bonds also weakened sharply and lost two
points on the early advance. The cause
of the weakness and the source of the sell
ing were not very Gear, but much OF the
selling was attributed to London account
and gave rise to some rumors OF financial
trouble in London, which were not Ver
fed The downward course OF sterling ex
change was halted and the price OF golc
was marked up in London. Money Wa;
reported in good supply there, however
! leaving the question of an advance IN the
bank rate tomorrow. which would be-
otherwise expected The outgo OF curren
cy from here to the interior continued un
abated, the total of s1,100,O0O being made
up of 100000 shipment to New Orleans
and 100000 to Chicago.

1000 People Cured OF
IntemperanCe.

Physicians have long since recognized
that drunkenness is a disease of the new
Gus system, caused by the infiamed con-
dition of the stomach membranes and
nerves, due to the excessive use of aloo-
hoic stimulants.
Science has evolved a wonderful remedy
to cure the drink habit by permanently
removing the craving for liquor. This
preparation, ORRINE, soothes and heals
the inflamed stomach Innings, restores the
nerves and the organs of the stomach to
their proper and normal condition, brings
back the appetite and restores the health
ORRINE is prepared on medical formula
covering the various destructive elements
brought into the system by the excessive
use of alcohol, and it is endorsed by
thousands of physicians, temperance lee
lures, clergymen, members of the w. C..
T. U. and Y. NJ. c. A.. and by over one
hundred thousand cured former inebrlates,
who have, written to the Orrine Company,
Washington, D. c., expressing their graft
tude at their restoration to sobuety and
health by the use of ORRLNE.
ORRINE is sold in Raleigh, N. c., by
Henry T. Hicks Company, and the Tucker
Building Pharmacy.
1t costs but 81 90 per box, or six boxes
for $500. 1t can be given without the
patient knowledge, if desired, and the
purchase money will be refunded if it fails
to do all that is claimed for it. The
remedy is simple, harmless and sure, con-
tanning no opiates or narcotics of any DC
scription.

Ware IL LeIand'S
Cotton Letter.

Raleigh, n. c., Nov. At now begins to
look as though the cotton world was face
TO face with a disaster. 1t would require
no adiectives to describe the tismoll
which will result from a Weld below the
trade requirements. In Liverpool today
Ellison estimated the requirements at
1O.S5O COO bales. At the same time Sully
c. Company estimate the crop, or say in.
dications point to crop of about 10.25n.
600 bales The majority now talk a crop
of less than last year and some believe
the yield will prove rather below than
more than 10,50000O bales. There was d
demoralized market as a result OF these
estimates For a while it looked as
though prices never would stop going up.
The trade became demoralized over the
out look, ard so much cotton was taken
that the amount left for sale was small.
A lot OF profit taking was the feature
Monday, and this left little to be sold
today. except at a big advance. Reports
from the South indicate that the big
movement will keep up for some days and
the November figures are likely to be sur
prisingly large But Europe is taking all
the cotton at 10Ac. they can get and
this leaves little for the American spinner
Some of the big men are still bulling cot
ton, and we would buy on any break
Fluctuations are likely to be extreme.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Nov. 4.-Cotton spot IN
good demand at full prices. Buyers today
paid 1898 per cent. higher than yester-
days quotations, influenced by the inn
provement in Liverpool and New York.
Sales were 10000 ba'es. including $500 to
arrive Quotations advanced nc.
One of the sensational bullish openings
of the wear was witnessed in the future
market. Prices were from % to 80 points
higher and later they were from 35 to 81
points above yesterdays closing. The adj
vance was caused by a very much better
Liverpool market and an upward turn in
New York and was maintained by fresh
buying by longs eager to get aboard before
prices should go higher and covering by
shorts, who confidently expected lower
prices today. Private advices from L;v-
erpool said that the advance in that mar
ket which was from 10 to IL points in
spots and IA to Is points on futures, was
caused by heavy buying orders from both
Egypt and America. In the local market
the trading was unusually heavy and near
the noon call there was slight decline
which resulted from liquidation, but the
market closed very firm, the net gains be-
ing from 80 to 81 points.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Nov 4.-The cotton market
opened strong at an advance of IL to II
points on active and excited covering and
aggressive bull support. During the en-
tire session it ruled firm with only very
narrow and brief reactions, closing firm
within two or three points of the top, or
at a net advance of 26@35 points on the
active months The firmness was caused
in the first instance by the higher cables,
and private advices stating that the Liver
pool authority, Mr.. Ellison, had estimated
the worlds requirements of American cot
ton for this season at 10,S77,OO bales.
Later a very bullish crop estimate was cir
culated by prominent local bull con-
Germ, pointing to yield of something ike
100000 bales as compiled from the reports
\of 1875 Southern correspondents to To-
cal newspaper In addition to the bullish
comparison of supply and consumption
thus furnished, the Far Eastern situation
was considered more favorable and 1t was
reported that spinners were being stimu-
lated to buy more freely by the recent
bullish crop talk. Private advices also
indicated continued firmness in the South
ern spot markets, and while the movement
continued heavy and the weather aside
from rains in some sections good, there
seemed little disposition at any time dur
ing the day to sell short. Many were APP
parently expecting a reaction, but this
seemed to cad to nothing more important
than profit-taking for the account of scat
tering long interests, while the recognized
bull leader was a heavy buyer of January
and March and the South sought the
later positions.
December sold at 1O:6S at the best point,
while January touched 1861, March 1866,
May 1906 and July 1867, these being new
high record prices for the present bull
movement this season and the .fe Of the
present options.
Sales for the day were estimated at 7OO,-
600 bales.
Port receipts were 6s,5O1 bales for the
day against 53,O65 last year and the esti-
mate for tomorrow's leading points aver
aged heavy.

President Williams Denies That He Is to

BALTIMORE, Sept 26.-The Baltimore
Nevs this afternoon publishes this inter-
view with President John Shelton Will
liams of the Seaboard Air Line Railway
who was in Baltimore for q few hours this
morning to attend the quarterly meeting
of the Baltimore Steam Packet Company:
There has been no change in the sit
uation of the Seaboard Air Line Railway
as publicly announced at the time OF the
entrance OF the Frisco-Rock Island in
terests into the board six weeks ago. The
Seaboard system is an independent prop
erty and no change in this condition is
in contemplation. Neither am l consid-
ering any change in my official connection
with the system as its president.
MY interests in the Iokd ale now and
always have been large and sufficient to
justify me in giving most of my time to the
development and management OF the prop
erty so long as this condition exits, !
expect TO remain president II l should
determine ut any future time TO di pot e
of my holdings and those Of my firm and
my associates in the property, should
desire to retire from the Office of president,
as 1t would, In such event no longer be con-
sistent with my interests, which are large
in OF her directions as well as in the Sea-
board, to devote my whole time to the enter
prise.
The position Of the Seaboard system
has, in my opir ion, been greatly
st strengthened and improved, both from a
traffic and financial standpoint, by the init
mate association with the property Of the
gent lemen who have recently came into o. r
,ard. and by the new and strong finan, ial
people who have also recently aoql ir,u
large interests in the property for invest
ment. The policy and plans which and
my associates have r'ra"ed in building up
the Saaboard Air Line s''stem and in
operating 1t for the hes, interests Of the
shareholders, will he continued"

NEGROES DEMAND RECOGNITION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-Resolutions call
ing on President Roosevelt to Use his
influence to prevent what is termed the
rank and fragrant determinations practised
against negroes in public places in Wash
ington were adopted last night at nesting
OF the Negro Suffrage League. OF which "a
number of negro lawyers are members.
Speeches condemning the attempts OF
Democrats to break down the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments were made,
and W. Calvin Chase, a negro lawyer, read
a paper announcing the call OF negro
outrage convention to meet in convention
Hal! in this city in December One speaker
declared that the Republican party had
not done much for the negro, but that It
had done all it could, and the time had
come for the negro to stand up Tor MS
rights.
Some of the illustrate of discrimina-
ton mentioned at the meeting are as fol-
lows: Efforts to exclude negroes from
juries, the naming Of prohibitive prices
for seats IN theatres when negroes try to
purchase them, the demand OF prohibitive
prices in barrooms and restaurants Tor the
purpose of excluding the negro.
President Roosevelt was asked also to
appoint such Judges Of the police courts.
