There has been no reason to desert the
buying side during this rise, but at present
prices and under prevailing conditions,
conservative people are beginning TO feel
Il little differently on the outlook. There
are too many evidences of the market be-
ing forced and too little cotton being
taken by spinners. Outside of the strength
in Liverpool there is really nothing in the
market now to induce buying. In fact
any kind of reasoning on the market
would lead a trader to sell out his long
cotton and look on at these prices. An
advance of Be- is a pretty good rise There
is no demand for cotton from spinners
here to base operations on and the mar
ket is getting in shape for another sharp
break Everything depends on the ac-
ton of the large interests When they
attempt to realize, you can look for an
other collapse. In that the general situa.
ton is not encouraging to buyers, we do
not believe in risking the buying side in
the hope that holders may put prices
higher. From now on for a time. even
though the market looks sound, We would
abandon the buying side. This will insure
safety from our way of reasoning.

A FURRY IN TELEPHONE CIRCLES
Supt. Mier Comes Down TO Pour Oil
on Troubled Waters.
(snecial TO News and Observer. J


Greensboro, ~ c.. March 3.-There is a
distinct furry in Telephone circles here.
Patrons of the old Greensboro Telephone
Company, yesterday received notices from
the Bell people who have secured monop-
oily of service here, which they took to
mean, that after April LIST rates would be
advanced.
A protest against any increase in rates
was Immediately gotten up and circu-
lated about town, every one approached
signing the same, and obigating himself
to cease using telephone at all unless
contracts were renewed at the old rates.
In their circular letter, the telephone
people asserted that the service had been
greatly improved, demanding large OUTLAWS
of money, and necessitating increased in
come The signers of the protest combat
this statement, alleging that the service
is yet most unsatisfactory. Mr.. Morgan
B. Spier, of Charlotte, Superintendent OF
the Bell N North Carolina and South
Carolina, must have been apprized of the
organized ''mutiny," for he arrived from
Charlotte last nighS and has been in cor
ference with leading citizens this morning
Speaking of the matter Mr.. Spier said
that this agitation could only be the result
of misrepresentation of the facts. as the
position of his company was one, which
when thoroughly understood, must be
satisfactory to all reasonable men. He
says that general increase of rates. is
not contemplated. and the rates proposed
for the improved service. are the same as
those charged in Durham Asheville,

cities.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, March 3.-There was a
good inquiry for spot cotton, but trading
was light on account of the easy trend of
futures and the views of factors who are
asking 1Sc. above board figures. Futures
opened 5 to 81 points higher in response
to the sensational advance in Liverpool,
New York also opened about 20 points
higher. but, in the American markets the
advances were soon shaved off by heavy
realizing This selling partially offset the
influence of Liverpool and prices receded
until they were only one or two POINTS
above yesterdays close. From this level
there was gradual recovery with occa-
sional light fluctuations until Nav had
gained 30 points and July %. This adj
vance brought out another food of selling
orders which carried prices down 20 to 80
points, the market closing quiet. net four

ton is that some workingman, with

structon OF this battleship from reach

built IN government yard, and the

factors OF construction In private yards.

TO WASH the BLOOD.

A French savant is said 10 have ln-
vented q new method Of freeing the
blood from toxic substances. II Is
claimed that, by means Of special
apparatus he literally washes the blood
by drawing of the serum and replacing
II by an artificial nuld. a writer IN the
Scientific American describes the pro-
posed process thus
1.-THE blood which Is taken by asplra.
ton from a punctured vein. is al once
mixed with eight or ten times its vol
ume Of "a saline solution The mixture
Is sent into centrifugal separator
which is go arranged thai all the blood
corpuscles are collected at one point.
They are taken from the separator by
q pump which reiujeCts them into the
system at once The apparatus Is en-.
tirCly automatic and works continuous.
~ II extracts the plasma With all the
toxic products and replaces Il by am ar
tlhcial serum No harm is done 20 the
corpuscles which do not suffer from
their short passage go the outside M,
Repln's method has been applied at the
Pasteur Institute The apparatus Is
operated by a horizontal shaft which
teyolycs at a high speed. The shaft
carries four arms projecting at right
angles and each arm has a Conical
chamber mounted on the end The
shaft and chambers are trayersed by
system Of tubes which allow three func-
lions 10 be carried outs First. the
blood mixture Is brought into the
chamber, second, the globules are
separated and provided with the right
amount Of liquid for reconstitutlng the
original volume, third, the surplus Of
the dlutlnR llqud In drawn Of The
APPARATUS contains a number of de-
tails which are necessary 10 prevent
coaeuatlon BY simply passing the
blood through the apparatus. AN the
operations are carried out automatical-
ly and the reconstructed blood ls re-
turned 10 the system. after having been
washed entirely free from the toxic
matter u may have absorbed"
Is this the old principle Of blood
letting again coming into favor? That
would not be surprising Scientists are
talking about the transmutation Of
metals, as did the old alchemlsts. and
they are searching for the fountains Of
youth and life as Of old. Science. too,
is apt to move I'M circles.
