THE FIGURES SWAG
Cotton Drops Back Half
a Cent on the Spot
Market.

The regular line OF advance in the cot
ton market which has been the feature
Of late received a set back yesterday.
The figures went down, and the swag-
gng market left prices for spot at the
end of the day at fully half cent lower
than they had been at tn beginning of the
day.
The drop was caused by the action
Of the future market, which went off
from 60 to 70 points late in the day. This
affected the spot market here not at all,
for the sales made in Raleigh yesterday
were made before the drop had been re-
ported.
There were four balos OF cotton sold
here yesterday, the prices ranging at
from IA to IA ga cents a pound, only one
bale, however, receiving the last named
figures. year ago thrtyflve bales
were sold here at from 8 rs 20 10 Lie
cents a pound.
Cotton men here regard the action OF
the market yesterday as only an incident,
for as has often been said in these col
umns, reactions must be looked Tor, and
when these occur in the future market
they will affect the spot market. They
say that the drop yesterday makes very
little difference to the men who have
cotton to sell, as they are not going to
sell at the present prices anyway, that
most of them want 10 cents q pound ard
some. say that it must be IS TO 16 IL
cents before they sell.
Nothing can be said at this time as to
what the market is going to do, but it
looks as if the figures for some time
will fuctuate between IS 1-2 and II IL
| cents = pound. That is the impression
OF men who keep in touch with the mar
| kot and who are Influenced in their Opin-
| ions by what is going on in the great
centres where deals in cotton make the
quotations.
information has been received here that
MIR. Harvey Jordan, Of Monticello, Ga,
president of the Farmers National Con-
gress and of the Cotton Growers Protec-
! tive Association, that he will visit North
Carolina this summer to look after mat
! ters connected with cotton planters.
| An article from him concerning the mat
ter of cotton planting for the coming
season is soon to appear, one paragraph
OF which is as follows:
present indications point not only to
an increased cotton acreage throughout
the belt this year, but it is apparent that
producers are also preparing to largely
increase the use of commercial, fertilizers.
| The general disposition of many planters
| at this time is to make the effort not only
| to increase their cotton acreage per pillow,
but to increase the yield per acre. Las;
year we were forced to abandon five per
cent Of the acreage plantd on account of
the scarcity of labor. and we are now
confronted with labor conditions not so
fattering as they were in 1903. The in
crease of our cotton acreage can only be
made at the expense of our supply crops.
This would be a suicidal policy, even if
we felt assured that the prices of cotton
for next season could be, maintained at
| 10 and y cents per pound from the open
ing to the closing of the season

Sprung a Sensation.
(By the Associated Press.)

Richmond, Va, Feb. pa sensation
was sprung in the House of Delegates to-
day when Mr.. Griffith (Republican) of
Russell, introduced a resolution directing
the State Auditor to furnish the Legisla-
ture with statement of sums embezzled
by Joseph H. Shepherd, late clerk in that
office and also to inform the Legislature
whether any legal proceedings had ever
been instituted against the sureties, il
any, of the convicted official.
Mr.. Boaz, of the Finance Committee.
explained that at the time of the defal-
cation the law did not require clerks in
the Auditors office to execute bonds, and
hence the State had no recourse in the
case of Shepherd.
Mr. Griffith still insisted, however
that the Legislature and the people had d
right to know the amount that had beer
embezzled, and earnestly demanded i'm

Dear Sir: Clothing is just like paint;

Fashion says paint; we all paint. There
is beauty in paint; we paint good deal
for that. And buildings are costly and
fashionable: put-on a waterproof two or
three coats of paint, and your buildings
last as long as you keep them dry. II
costs nothing to paint; it costs your
buildings not to.
Devoe is the paint that lasts; disap-
pointing paints are the paints that cost.

Yesterdays Weather a
Sign of it, Says Won
Hermann.

The wind did blow yesterday, and the
air was warm and springlike. The wind
seemed to blow so hard that a News and
Observer reporter went to see Mr.. Won
Hermann, the weather man, Last night
and asked him how hard the wind blew
during the day.
"Oh, it did not blow SO very hard
said he, lat no time was the velocity
greater than twenty-six miles an hour.
Blu. those north to northwest winds ami
warm temperature today probably mean
that winter is practically over, except of
course some few cold days.
The velocity OF the wind" continued
the weather seer. "often creates a wrong
impression. People on the streets think
it is much greater than it really is, and
that is natural because being confined
in the narrow streets the velocity is
higher than it is up above. The Weather
Bureau instruments today recorded only
q to 26 miles velocity. The high winds
were caused by the presence over New
England of what the weather men call
a blow barometer. This means merely q
region in which there is great deficiency
in the supply of air, which requires that
the air shall rush in from all the sur
rounding country. The deeper the ba-
rcmetric depression. the more liable to
winds. and they circulate into a low
be~cmetric area in spiral direction OPP
ros;te to the movement of the hands OF
clock.
''As the storm was over New England,
W. received the winds On the rear side
CT the depression, and consequently the
winds Were north to northwest. The
reason there was no precipitation was
that the storm in passing across the
country took an unusually northern
course over the lake region.
This is one of the signs OF the break
irg up OF winter, because during the
summer all the storms take that north
ward course. When a storm passes north
o. a State. the winds are bound to come
from southerly direction and necessarily
bring warmer weather with them. Or
the other hand, when a storm passes
across south of n State. the winds vii
be from the north and bring colder
weather. The cause OF the continuous
cold weather during the past winter has
been the fact that these storms have
taken an unusually low course, thus
bringing North Carolina into the regior
of prevailing northerly winds almost tn;
entire winter.
