Cotton Letter

Raleigh, n. c., Sept. 6.-There was
d great deal of interest in the course
OF the Liverpool market during the
holldays here. 1t was felt that if Liv-
erpool went to pieces there would be
very little hope of a better market
mere. But Liverpool, after declining
on saturday, recovered most of the
loss ana before the close today stood
az ABOUT the level of last Friday before
me bureau figures came out. The ac-
Ilon OF the foreign market influenced
many shorts as well as traders VINO
nad SOLD out last week. They bought
freely and a reaction of about 30
points TOOK place at one time. Above
lO.5O there seemed to be cotton for
sale, which prevented a further ad-
vance ana the market reacted 10
points or more before o'clock. The
feature OF the day was the weather re-
port for the week The report had
hardly a good word to say of any one
section, and where cotton had imprOV-
ed the area was stated to be limited.
Almost everything was complained of
and cotton appears to be going back
ward rather rapidly over the entire
cotton belt. Texas stated that the boil
weevil was destroying practically all
new squares in that State. Texas also
reported the yield of cotton much be-
low the average. We think this the
most important piece of news from the
cotton belt this season. If the Texas
crop is much below the average, is
there likely to be much cheap cotton
this season? We think not.

New York Stocks.

New York Sept. 6.-The stock mar
ket gave a good account OF itself again
today and COMPOUNDED it's unfriendly
critics by extending it's already consid-
cradle rise and by an increase in the
volume of activity The market was
under suspicion of manipulation as 1t
has been for some time. but the ad-
vance in prices was effected without
bringing out any insupportable bur-
den of genuine selling. The market
was spotty all day and during the
early part of the session was irregu-
lar on account of several weak points
but the tone gained in strength dur
ing the course of the session and the
earlier points of weakness were over
come. United States Steel preferred
was a center of positive depression
The decline of point in this security
was presumably due to the prospect
of a reduction in the prices of steel
products. the effects of which on the
net earnings of the corporation is
dreaded. The local fractions were un-
settled by the threat of q strike on
the Manhattan system and formed
another effective center of sympathetic
weakness The Pacifics took the lead
ership of the later market. The
speculative presumption on the part
of followers of the movement was that
the ll0Wly returned neaO OF the SyS-
tenn was embarking additional capital
in his properties as a result of the
matured reflection of the period of
his holiday. The demand for Erie was
sought to be assigned to the same
source. Stress was laid upon the very
cheerful tone of railroad traffic Off

New York, Sept. 6.-The cotton
market re-opened after the holidays
firm in tone with September 2 points
lower and other positions unchanged
TO five points higher. This was about
as due on the cables. which having
shown decline as result of the bu-
reau report of last Friday of about Is
to % points rallied this morning and
by the hour of local opening were
about as expected on the New York
close of last Friday. In addition to
this steadiness the trade were evil
IDENTIFY looking for a bullish weekly re-
port at midday and there were also re-
ports of rains in Texas that were said
to be damaging the crop and delay
ing the movement. At any rate the
hrSt tendency here was to cover shorts
ana the market during the morning
ruled firm and higher, reaching a net
advance of about "a to 20 points.
There seemed very little cotton for
sale as prices worked upwards. Peo-
pie with bearish views evidently
thought they might get a better SELL
ing level as a result of the bureau
weekly report This proved about
as bullish as looked for, indicating
a quite general deterioration In the
crops condition. But it proved the
signal for more general selling and
it soon became apparent that the ad-
counted the bullishness of the report
from which, of course it was impossI-
bic to say whether the crop had lost
more than would be considered nor
NAL at this season of the year. Prices
in the afternoon ruled generally weak
Lower Wall Street was credited with
selling very heavily and there was nc
sign of anything resembling bull sup
port. The market in the late trading
lost all its early advance and while jast
before the close there was a slight
rally on covering by room shorts, the
market left off at a net gain of only
4 TO points. The closing tone was
steady.
Sales were estimated at 100000
bales. The reactionary tendency in
the English market was attributed TO
more active spot demand at the
decline The mornings weather map
on the whole was fairly satisfactory
and receipts for the day were heavy,
but an increased movement is regarded
as no more than natural at this time
and the fact remains that available
supplies are still very low.
Receipts of cotton at the ports to-
day 1888 bales, against 1856 last
week and 6,141 last year. For the
week 10000, against 77.8S8 last week,
ana 36,752 last year. Today's receipts

HORSE SHIELD AT A SNAKE
Prof. George M. Perdew Had a Thrill
ing Experience.

Prof. George M. Perdew Had Thrill
ing Experience.
For some days past Prof. George II.
Perdew, the capable principal of Cen
trail Street public school, has been no.
ticed limping about the streets and
to all inquiries as to why he "limped"
the Professor would reply ''rheuma-
| tism'
Today the real cause of the rheuma-
tism eked out. Prof. Perdew each
summer spent portion of his vaca-
ton in Garrett county. He had just
completed this seasons outing in that
section and was on his way from
Sang RUM to take a train at Friends
vile for,home when he met with an ex-
perie which was so thrilling that it is
little wonder that he was lame when
he got to Cumberland. He started
| from Sang Run in one-horse con-
veyance. used in carrying the mail be-
tween the two points. The driver of
the horse was a youth, who was just
Boosting to the professor about the
large number of snakes he had killed
during his daily trips through the
mountain wilds, when the animal he
was driving shield at a monster snake
stretched across the road in front of
him. Seeing a chance,to add another
reptile to the number already slain,
the youth leaped from the buggy,
leaying Prof. Perdew seated in the
same. The latter, however, didn't
remain seated very long, as the boy
had scarcely reached the ground be-
fore the horse came to the conclusion
that it was really frightened and
made leap that threw Prof. Perdew
headlong headlong between the shall
YES, the wheel of the vehicle striking
him in the back and whirled him to
the ground. That is he struck the
ground after the" wheel got through
"whirling" him but the whirling pro-
cess continued some seconds. AT one
moment Prof. Perdew was sweeping
mother earth with his coat tails and
the next seemed to be up among the
tree tops.
Finally, however the professor
found himself lying fiat upon his back
in the road, with his ribs bruised and
the fibula bone of his leg broken.
The youth who had innocently
been the cause of Prof. Perdew's
trouble, didn't know whether to
laugh or cry but the former made the
latter believe that he wasn't hurt and
then the boy helped himself to good
laugh, after which he finished killing
the snake and then started after the
horse.
The animal was finally overtaken,
but before that feat was performed
the buggy had been so completely
wrecked that much trouble was ex-
perienced before the trip to Friends
vile could be concluded.
Prof. Perdew come on home that
afternoon sought the aid of a physi-
clan and is now able to walk without
experiencing much pain. He tried to
keep his accident out of the papers
and succeeded pretty well until today
when friend gave the story away,
innocently, however just as the
driver ''innocently caused the same.'
