lection and the convention then
adjourned.
Editorial Notes.
A fellow over in Nebraska
sold his farm for $4,000 last
week and went to Kansas City
and commenced getting rid of
his money by giving it away
in small amounts to the flood
sufferers. The Kansas City
police arrested the man and
PIT him in Jail, claiming he
was insane. The Kansas City
police couldn't understand why
a man should want to help the
poor.
Inc Judges OF the District
Court at Des Moines have or
dered indictments against the
men in that city accused of
jury bribing.
The grocers and butchers of
Omaha are with us today, and
the weather prediction is for
rain tonight. They seem to be
hoodoos as far as the weather
is concerned.
Chicago womenwere declared
to be models in the matter of
figures, and symmetrical pro-
portions held not affairs of M
taral lines, but of corscts, at
the dressmakers' convention.
Here is the correct recipe for
acquiring a figure that is APP
proved by artists: "First, Sc
cure the right kind of corset.
Then begin to grow into it, adj
justing a string here, another
there, filling by proper exercise
the places not enough enlarged
and reducing those that are too
plump"
The Salvation Army Corps
that has gone into Brcathitt
county, Kentucky, to convert
the feudists, is meeting with
good success, many conversions
having taken place. If the
Salvationists can convert that
county they should be pen
stoned by the state of Kentucky.
The English cabinet is split
in two over the tariff question.
1t would be a cold day for the
United States if England should
adopt the tariff policy in vogue
in this country. The manufac-
turers of the United States
would then be bowling for free
trade with England.
The courts of Des Moines have
organized a raid against the ju-
ry bribers in that city. The
committee appointed to look the
matter up have recommended
that one p. II. Hunter, and a
man by the name of Drape, be
indicted for jury bribing.
The assessors of Des Moines,
the Capital City Of Iowa, report
that they have assessed the
Mulct tax against 81 saloons, /
drug store, and 2 dives in that
city. That is rather a savory
record for the Capital of a pro-
hibition State.
The coal lands owned by the
Choctaws and Chickasaws in
the Indian Territory are very
valuable, and 100000 acres will
be offered for saleinext spring
at auction. The government
biologists have figures that
these lands contain one billion
seven hundred and sixty mill
ion tons of fine coal.
Judge Howe, of Des Moines,
rendered a decision Saturday
that will affect many Saloons in
Iowa. He decided that the ne
cessary consent for a saloon is

which the saloon is run and NOT

Rev. Gould, a free Methodist
preacher of Central City, Neb.,
who deserted his family and
eloped with a Is year old girl of
that place, has been sentenced
to six years in the penitentiary
for the crime. He professed to
be without sin when he was en-
gagged in preaching, intact he
professed to be incapable of sin.
Well, he will now have six years
in which to brighten up his faith
in Sanctification while he is en-
gagged in breaking stone for the
State.
The Armours have had plans
and specifications drawn for a
trolley line from Kansas City to
st. Paul, and from Omaha to
Chicago, by way of Des Moines.
1t is learned that the Packing
Co. have quietly secured the
right of way for most of the
distance, and it is thought that
work will commence on the new
line next spring. The line will
be built for the purposeof haul
ing packing house products to
the eastern markets and will be
equipped with the latest inn
proved electrical machinery.
Passenger traffic will also be
looked after on the line.
The Methodist Church Conf
erence in Nebraska, last week,
passed resolutions condemning
dancing, card playing, and the
atre going. After being notified
twice, if member dances, palys
cards, or goes toa theatre, he or
she is to be expelled from the
church. The Methodist of Ne
braska will have to join some
other church if they want to be
fashionable.
The Chicago Chronicle gives
the amountof the grain carrying
business done by the different
railroads leading into that city
during the past week. The Bur-
lington carried 20 per cent of
the grain received; the Illinois
Central 13 per cent, while the
C. & N. w., only got 8 per cent
of the total grain haul. The
N. w., will have to "ginger up"
in the grain business.
Miss May Goelet, of New
York City, next month, comes
into her fortune of $50. OOO. 900.
and is going to spend the
whole amount in the purchase
Of an English Duke. We know
of half a dozen fine young fell
lows in Missouri Valley she
could have got for half the mon
ey. May, evidently don't know
a good thing when she sees it
nor does she realize the fact
that one good American citizen
is worth a hundred bankrupt,
broken down English Dukes.
The Great Western is the road
that goes after business when it
wants it. Since getting into
Omaha the Great Western found
that all the other Chicago lines
have western connections. con-
sequently the Great Western
don't get any grain business, so
that road has notified the other
roads that it will cut the corn
rate to nine cents from Omaha
to Chicago.
An electric car on a new line

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 7.-United States Steel,
preferred, dipped to yesterdays low
record Immediately after the opening of
the stock market today but its easy
recovery on dealings almost as light as oil
the decline, made the drop not very I'M
pressive The relaxation Of the recent
severe pressure on this stock relieved the
market TO some extent and prices were
inclined to harden. The railroad list Iii
fact was but little affected by the open
ing. and dull and the market showed lit
tie breadth or animation Reports were
in persistent circulation that the United
States Steel Corporation planned a cut
in all grades of steel products on the
basis of the lower price for billets, but
all attempts to secure official lnforma-
ton on the subject were repealed. The
bank statement was regarded as favorable
on account of the heavy loan contraction
disclosed, although the cash decrease was
about as large as had been estimated
The decrease in deposits reduced the re-
serve requirement so far that rather more
than half of last weeks surplus is con-
served. The decrease in loans is attri-
buted in part to the liquidation in the
stock market and to the repayments in
cident to the completion of November
first settlements. Some OF the borrowers
of last week incident to the crisis at St.
Louis are also believed to have been re-
paid. The money and exchange markets
are rather nominal on Saturday, but the
tone of sterling was reported weak and
demand bills were quoted at 4S4 fat,
which is within the margin of profit In
gold imports. None were announced, but
there were various rumors of further en-
gagements. Reports from London show
hardening market for discounts and an
increased control of the open money
market by the Bank of England. THIS
may be in preparation to make effective
an advance in the Bank of England $
rate of discount to oppose an outgo of
cold.
The tightness of the money market has
reduced the demand for bonds and Tie
recent average of the business in that de-
rartment has been considerably diminish
ed. Prices have been inclined to yield
with the falling off IN demand.

Cotton Letter.

Raleigh, N. c., Nov. THE census re
port today showed two million bales less
cotton ginned up to October 18th this
st ason than last. This threw the pit into
state OF absolute decentralization. You
could not buy cotton at any price ar
times and the way the market ran up
over eleven cents was the most SenSa-
tional thing ever seen in the New York
Exchange lot OF people bought in
short cotton sold yesterday and this Of
course helped the advance. Those who
were short at ten cents have covered
and some OF those who sold short lost
night have not yet covered. A promlnon.
trader who was long a line Of 10000 bales
sold out at 101bc., and went short. While
the bull crowd were realizing yesterday
this trader was selling short. II VIII re-
uuire lot of buying to cover this inter
est There are others, too. We doat
know what to say OF the market. Simply
because there i nothing IN the past to
go ON. We have never had the cOnsump-
ton over production and no cotton re-
serves since the Civil War. The market
is q regular volcano. II IS no market
to short, but q good one to take profits
on On a bulge on Monday we would sell
cat long cotton by all means and begin
TO look for smash This sort Of thing
cannot go on many days, though cotton
will doubtless sell higher later on.

Cotton Letter.
(Special to News and Observer


New York. Nov. There was evidence
OF three points on the Liverpool market.
The weather was quite cold in numerous
districts today. The Chronicle report tor
the week indicated rather much gather
ing of the crop. The Liverpool statistl-
cal situation at the close of the week
shows up strong. Stocks there gained
c. coo bales but the total is still $4,000
bales behind last year. The stock Gu
water bound for there is 1900 ahead
of last year. As to the crop reports
they are daily attracting less attention.
Since most accounts agree that the crop
is poor and mostly gathered. Early
prices we're lower Yesterdays buyers
we're taking profits, receipts estimated at
$4,000 against $4,000 bales last year. EV'
erybody was waiting for the ginners re-
pert this morning and it's delay caused
hesitation and weakness. The figures IN
dicating 1890 600 bales ginned against
5,a25 600 bales last year. made little in
preston when they appeared although
prices at the time had recovered more
than the decline. Yesterdays big sellers
W ere big buyers today and the market
hardened considerably during the morn
ing. Exporters were getting nervo and
the fact that spot markets were strong
kept shorts on the anxious seat. Prices
have advanced rapidly and considerably
in the last few days and the market is
still now at a very high level. A re-
action of thirty or forty points may be
looked for at any time. But with the
conditions existing as are at present
nothing is to be gained by getting short
of the market.

NEW YORK COTTON
New York, Nov 7.-Infiuenced by fine
weather, heavy receipts and lower cables
the cotton market opened weak at de-
cline of 4@14 points under liquidation by
longs, who were also apprehensive that
the reports of the Census Bureau, due
slightly after the opening, would either
prove less bullish than expected or fall
to affect the market. which has recently
been advanced nearly a cent and
u half on short crop talk. Immediately
after the call, however. there
was heavy covering and prices before
the issuance of the report had regained
or points of their initial loss. On re-
ceipt of the report, the market dropped
to 1898 for December, 1898 for January
1921 for March and 1898 for May. but
was almost at once eased off under heavy
realizing The trade here seemed to place
Il bullish significance on the report.
After sagging back about 4 points the
market was rallied again by active COW
ering and show of bull support, the Ugh
it was evident that tremendous amount
of long cotton was for sale. Notwithstand-
ing this December reached 11.03, January
1104, March 11O9, May 11.OS and July
11.O9, these being the highest prices OF
the season. The market closed slightly
off from the best, but strong at net adj
vance of 1000 points. The sales were
100000 bales, OF the largest for any Sat
urday on record.
Estimated receipts of cotton at the ports
today so, 900 bales, against 1850 last week,
and 52133 last year. For the week 400
600 bales against 412,217 last week, and
346,5S3 last year Today's receipts at New
