Cotton Letter

Raleigh, \. c., June 3.-ThiS time q
week ago a considerable portion of the
cotton belt Was suffering from drought
of several weeks duration ard the
outlook was far from encouraging.
Shorts covered freely knowing that
without rains this week there would
be an exciting market. When opera
tors came down after the three days
holiday on Tuesday they learned that
showers had fallen where needed ana
similar conditions have existed nearly
every day this week. The actual
record of rainfall will not be availa-
bic until early next week, but every
indication furnished by the weather
map would lead to the belief that
many counties without moisture have
been relieved and that the outlook
generally has been improved. AS the
market is now controlled by weather
conditions, rains proved 40 be al that
was necessary to bring about an ex-
tensive decline in prices. New crop
options worked as low as ten and q
quarter cents. losing about one-half z
cent in the four days trading. Today
the report of the financial Chronicle
that cctton acreage had been increased
this year over eleven and a half per
cent and that the general start of the
| crop is better than last year added
a pressing factor, but prices appear to
| have reached n level where resistance
| is being offered to selling pressure.
| This is the European buying of dis
tant months, particularly October cot
ton on basis of ten and a half cents
and below, and is now a decided fac
tor in the making of the price. The
feature of the week has been the ex-
tensive decline in July option, but this
has not attracted general attention
from commission houses in that GUS
toners have been asked to avoid that
option rs much as possible in their
operations. Selling has been on an
extensive scale and liquidation, hear
pressure ard general hammering have
proved more reckless than anything
seen in the maurket since the January

A CARD.
Issued to the Democratic Noiefs Oh
Wake County from Armistead
Jones. Esq.

A reDort has been circulated in the
county bv some Of the friends of Hon.
K. b. Glenn, that /, together with 9TH
ers, had formed a ring for the puf-
nose of nominating Major Charles M.
Stedman for Governor, and that L had
promised Major Stedman the vote OF
the county, and that | mad SAID that
had the county in my pocket WISH
TO saw emphatically that all of these
statements are absolutely false, and
that thew were made and circulated
without any foundation and with the
knowledge that they We're false. These
charges originated from men who
have held offices for many years in the
larty. and who have done not half as
much service as many others IN the
county.
IT is further charged that | am in
the court house ring, and that tnat
ring faVors Major Stedman. L nave
taken the pains to inquire and IND
that the gentlemen occupying the OF
fees in the court house are not tax
ing sides in the matter, one way or
the other. except in the case of Mr.. j..
J Bernard. Register of Deeds, who is
very active and outspoken for Mr.
Glenn.
When Major Stedman's name was
mentioned as candidate for Cover
nor last summer, | said Il would vote
for him. if | was delegate to the
State convention. because, first, | knew
he was qualified in every respect to fill
the position; secondly, because | knew
he had done great service for his
State, not only in war but in every
other way from the dark days OF re-
construction up to the present time;
thirdly, because / was in the Confed-
crate army when q mere boy, and i
had the same feeling that other Con-
federate soldiers had, that he should
be nominated; and fourthly, because
/ worked hard to nominate Governor
Fowle in 1888, and to defeat Major
Stedman then.
No political party can hope for sue
cess without organization We have
an executive committee, and / have
been honored with the chairmanshlp
Of that committee, and the Democratic
voters of Wake county know whether
| have done anything or not towards
the success of the party as chairman.
If organization and hard work for my
party constitutes being in a ring, or
at the head of a ring, then l will have
TO plead guilty to the charge. So long
as life lasts | intend. with all my en-
ergy, to do everything that is legiu-
mate towards the success of white
mans government in the State in the
| future as | have done in the past.

who are now maligning me i'll my own

New York, June 3.-During the
first hour of today's market there were
a few large buying orders executed in
a number of stocks, lifting them to a
higher level and causing the general
market to harden in sympathy. The
movement was not pursued and the
market fell into intense dizziness with
no evidence of disposition either to
buy or sell. Excessive rains in the
grain region were counted against the
prospects of the crops and some
rather sensational reports circulated
in Wall Street of damage by floods.
The nervous tone in the cotton market
gave rise to some rather disturbing ru-
mors of money troubles growing out
of the conditions in that market, but
the effect was ignored on the Stock
Exchange An official estimate on the
acreage of the. present crop and the
June first condition were paid more
attention to in the stock market than
were the movements i'm the cotton
market itself. The estimates of the
weeks currency movement Indicate q
continuance of the flow to this center

The strength shown by the coalers
was in spite of the April statement OF

was more than wiped out by the loss

New York, June 3.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of
6@24 points on covering in response
to very strong Liverpool cables, the
better spot demand in that market
private cables reporting the possibility
of full time in Manchester. The New
Orleans market was closed for the
day, but wire houses here with New
Orleans connections were active sellers
at the opening advance, and these OF
ferings seemed to convince the local
contingent that the Southern bulls had
still cotton to liquidate through the
local market. This started q renewal
of the bear pressure and the market
soon after the call declined to about
11.57 for July. Later it rallied again
on covering by the smaller shorts ow-
ing to the firmness of the Liverpool
cables, before midday sold up to 11.79
for the summer months, while the new
crop influenced by favorable weather
reports ruled relatively heavy. The
estimates for Saturdays receipts at

It's up to Lodge.

A we'll informed subscriber of the GALE
DOMAIN in Massachusetts writes as fol-
lows on the election,
''As usual, Vermont stood in the front
ranks of the great conflict for great pa
triot and statesman, whose courage and
wisdom rank favorably with Washing
ton and Lincoln. Our state election was
not rebuke to Gov. Bates so much, as
to Senator Lodge for his outspoken hos
tility to reciprocity and revision of the
tariff. II the state could vote today on a
successor for Lodge, he would be buried
politically"
And now comes the defeated Foss of
reciprocity fame and announces that he
has been to Washington and interviewed
the President and that the thing for the
Massachusetts republicans to do is to
nominate Lodge for Governor next year
on a reciprocity platform. Mr.. Foss
claims that this plan met with the Presi-
dents approval, but he did not say how
Lodge liked it. To an outsider it looks
as if it was "up to Lodge" and that he
cannot afford to "stand pat" any longer
If Gen Draper and the Home Market Club
want to block the wheels of the reciproc-
ity chariot they must not complain il
they get hurt.

A New Jail Refused.

The bill authorizing the county to
build new jail was referred to the
members from Caledonia county, as
indicated in our Montpelier letter, and
defeated because only five of the II
county members were in favor of a new
building. Their decision comes both as
a surprise and disappointment. The
present antiquated structure has long
outlived it's usefulness and has been
condemned by grand juries who have
thoroughly investigated it. Twelve
representatives from this county must
have been wofully ignorant of the real
conditioned affairs when they refused to
recommend the bill to the house. Do
these ~ men realize that the present
building is unsafe and that criminals
could easily escape without the slightest
help from inside or outside? Besides
never shines in with it's warming and
purifying rays. There are now ten
occupants of this relic of bygone days
confined in a building far too small for
them and deprived of the comforts of life
that this climate demands.
It's a clear case CT penny wise and
pound foolish as the repairs that must
now be made will be costly and unsatis-
factory. The old building will remain
for awhile longer, with its foul air, its
cold and damp cells and its insecure
doors. The FIVE men who voted for the
measure were trying to better the condi-
ton of the unfortunates who have to
spend more or less time in durance vile
the other II were guided by spirit OF
false economy or by other motives which
are past finding out.

An independents Comment.

The independent position of Harper's
Weekly throughout the campaign elected
both criticism and praise, but Col. Har-
vey has always been a free lance in
journalism and whatever he writes is
worth reading. Now that Mr.. Roose-
Welt is elected Col. Harvey says that not
even the angel Gabriel could have beaten
him this year. "The people wanted a
human being, forceful. resolute, patriotic.
faithful maybe, but sagacious and ap-
pealing" Col. Harvey considers the
Presidents message on election night
announcing that he would not be candi-
date for a third term, the most effective
words he has ever written and adds,
"The main point is that all men know
that the Theodore Roosevelt whom they
voted for is the Theodore Roosevelt
they thought he was" Harper's Weekly
says both sides had about the same
sized-campaign fund, the democrats
raising 81 100000 and the republicans
$2,25O,OOO and the vaguest intimation
of purchase of the election is simply

An Advertising Thought.

The merchant makes an investment in
a given amount of space in newspaper,
expecting to get profits from it, just as he
expects to get profits from bargain lot
OF goods he picks up. All newspaper adj
vertising, properly locked after, will pay
profits to the merchant. The amount OF
profits, however, varies with the way
the advertising is attended to. AS a
general rule the oftener an adv. is chang
ed, the more direct and truthful it is, the
greater are the profits.
