A permanent exposition

A permanent exposition il
Washington, representing the in
dustries and achievements and
history of the States, should not
be considered in prospect as an
aggregation of side shows. Ii
would be dignified, instructive
exhibit of things accomplished on
the great national scale. 1t would
tell the American story as perhaps
not even these gorgeous occasion
al shows tell it. 1t would serve a.
a perpetual object lesson to all
travellers and as a stimulus to the
States themselves to maintain
their PAGES and to keep the Wash
ington exhibits up TO the highest
possible notch of completeness
and effectiveness.-W Washington

Deduction from the figures OBJ
tainable shows that the St. Louis
Exposition has done no more
than pay expenses and will make
no return of the money invested
bv the stockholders; but there is
no disappointment felt. because no
one expected that the stockhold
ers would be paid. The show it
self WAS a complete success. and
a wonderful school of instruction
for the people of the United
States. Much honor has been be

There is a movement TO oust
Governor Nardaman from the
presidency of the forthcoming
boll-weevil convention to be held
in Shreveport, the reason being
that the convention expects TO ask
the sympathy and aid of Mr.
Roosevelt's administration and OF
a Republican congress: and there
Is more than a suspicion that Gov
ernor Nardaman is persona non
grata in that quarter. Governor
Vardaman might suddenly aston
ish the world by doing the rea-
sonable thing of resigning the
presidency, but-well, we do not
expect it.-Mobile Register.

Cotton L. attGg

Raleigh, N. c., May 9.-The mark
ct acts very much like a short mark
ct On the decline this morning cot
ton was not easy to buy, and while
the tone looked uncertain anyone on
the floor could see that there was
more cotton wanted than could be
supplied without putting up prices.
The market is in the hands of its
enemies at the present time. That
u.s. men who have been all wrong this
year. Wrong on the crop and wrong
on prices. They were bears at 8 12 C.
and are still bears. These are hardly
the people to cast your lot with. For
a while they may be able to manage
things. But not for long, unless they
are a lot nearer conditions than they
have been before this year. We talk
about the 91sc. bears because they are
about the only people trading in the
market today. No one is willing to
take an aggressive stand on the side
of higher prices This explains the
market. Take our word for it, there
is nothing to be short of cotton on:
We may wake up some day with bad
weather and the roof will come off.
Around 49, p c. there is good demand
for cotton. On any advance of 80 or
40 points, of course, business is not
large enough to keep the rise in
progress Then things collapse. We
would buy cotton on a break and
take profits on any advance. The
market for cotton futures closed
quiet. WAKE az LELAND.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, May 9.-There was no
relief today from the apathy OF the
stock market, which was at aDout DIS
low an cbb as on Saturday. ne an
niversary today of the panic or l9ol
was the occasion of much discussion
and moralizing and OF many strihiilS
comparisons between the speculative
interest of that period and OF tne pres
ont Renorts of earnings continue the
sbou,ino, Of n declining level from last
wear. with q high level of operating
EXPENSES remaining in force. Reports
of coming retrenchmentS on more
than one important system were cur
rent. and some hope was felt that pen
eft will result TO the net returns Inc
slight upward tendency OF prices
seemed due hather to the intermittent
cy of the market, following the decline
of last week than to any chahge Oh
sentiment The passing OF the saw
100000 warrant for the Panaihd caii"'
payment marks the high tlde Oh pehe-
fit on the operation to this market.
The counter operation of withdrawal
of government deposits with the banks
is to be followed at once by an addl-
tional withdrawal of 10 per cent. OF
deposits and in June with lO per cent
more. The gold necessary TO complete
the amount of the purchase must Also
go to Paris from New York. Whlle
no immediate effect on the money
market is expected, the course OF the
autumn money market receives some
discussion. The fact that government;
revenues are running behind expendl-
lures points to some difficulty in al
fording any treasury assistance to the
rail- money market, such as has been
given during the crop moving period
every year for several wears back. The
advance in Louisville & Nashville was
based on published comparisons of
earning power with other railroad
stocks at higher prices. Consolidated
Gas weakened on the belief that the
Remsen Gas bill would be vetoed

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, May Spot cotton
quiet with buyers and sellers apart
Factors are holding strong and firmly
Tor full board prices while buyers
demand concessions. Sales 800 bales
including 100 to arrive; delivered on
contracts 900. Quotations unchanged
Futures opened steady and UNI
changed to points lower. The mar
ket was in a waiting attitude. The be-
lief that the big bulls are watching
for a favorable opportunity to launch
actively into another campaign has
done much to injure the aggressive
ness of bears and the continued un-
favorable conditions in the belt have
caused the short selling of the win
ter months to become less popular
The transactions today were very
light, being confined largely to scalp
ers. The fluctuations were few and
narrow. In the trading July advanced
points to 14.14. declined to 400, and
finally recovered to 14.12. The mar
ket closed quiet with prices net one
point UP to three points down.

Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News ana observer
New York, May 9.-No develop
ments over Sunday were OF sufficient
importance to exert any influence in
the stock market and the trading con-
tinues in the same listless manner,
and with transactions entirely for pro-
fessional account. Union Pacific, Atch-
ison, st. Paul, Missouri Pacific and
Louisville and Nashville are earning
double the amount Of their usual diVi-
dend payment which leads US to be-
lieve that there is a wide margin left
for necessary dull periods and still
leaving ample surplus for the regular
dividends. While prices may sag some
lower, these stocks are selling at at
tractive prices. which sooner or later
must attract the attention of conserVa-
tive traders. After some early hesita-
ton wheat advanced today on rather
light transactions, the figures of the
visible supply showing heavy decrease
in all grains, had a favorable effect on
prices, but traders, as a rule, preferred
awaiting the government report to be
issued after the close of the market,
which is expected to furnish some def
mite line on the outcome of the crop.
Weakness developed again in Liver
pool, where sales of spots only reached
5000 bales at a substantial decline
from previous sales. The local market
opened lower, but around midday the
market steadied and prices recovered
to above Saturdays close.
The continued light receipts hold
bear operations in check and the de-
mand from spot houses and shorts,
seems sufficient to absorb the light Of
ferings. Receipts at ports today esti-
mated at 1000 bales, against 500 last
year.
