COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb. 29.-The cotton
market opened strong at an advance
of 22@3S points with trading active
and attended by considerable excit-
ment The initial gain was rather
more than due on the cables. and
seemed to be of more general character
than that recently noted. In fact the
buying could be traced to no special
source.
Wire houses, and commission houses,
generally seemed to have a new sup
ply of buying orders leading to a be-
lief that the demand was in response
to the strong statistical situation as
reflected by the week end visible sup
ply statement which undoubted derig-
ed a wide circulation over Sunday,
and while there was heavy realizing
from the start, this simply rendered
the market rather irregular as the
general undertone was verv firm.
Receipts for the day were rather
heavier, but the estimates for to-
morrow show a continued light move
ment and the prospect of a cotton
famine later in the season seemed to
restrict selling even for profits. At
any rate the advance carried March to
15.01c, and May and July 15.41c. These
prices represented an advance OF OOu
GO points on the positions named, and
were followed by a rather lighter de-
mand, and a reaction under realizing
of from 20 to 30 points. After this
there was a period of irregularity.
There seemed little pressure against
the market. On the other hand demand
seemed about exhausted, and fiuctua-
tons consequently ruled irregular
until just before the close. when the
local bull leader just returned from
Chicago. entered the ring and bidding
aggressively soon forced March UP to
1860, May to 1880, and July to 1544c.
The close was steady at practically
the best prices or net 10 to Ga points
higher. Sales were estimated at 700-
900 bales. The late advance was aid
ed by the firmness of the Southern
spot markets, which reported full re-
Spouse to the advance in futures, and
a prominent Philadelphia spot i'm
terests were reported to be heavy buy
ers as well as the bull leaders.
Exports are running very light, and
while spot markets rejecting the bull
lishness of sentiment among holders
are very firm, the demand for actual
cotton does not appear to be particu
larly satisfactory and interior hold
ers are said, in some instance, to be
hedging their supplies in the futures
market.

THE NEGRO is A MAN"
REV. w. S. ARMsTEAD
PROF.. CHARLES CARROL1

PROF. CHARLES CARROLL.
Some three years ago, as the read
ing public knows, Prof. Carroll pub
lished book The Negro is a Beast,
or in the Image of God" In the book
he goes to work and proves, by per-
verting the Bible, that the negro is a
beast. This subject has been out
ragged from time to time by like argu-
ments from different people, generally
the ungcdly.
Prof. Carroll, by his wholesale on
slaught, makes all these attempts in
significant. He says there is no soul
where there is any other blood than
Caucasian. He perverts the Scripture
arrays himself against churches and
sects, and sets at naught the plain
teachings of the book that has been
sacred in all ages.
Rev. Armstead feels it his sacred
duty to defend the Bible and refute
this outrage committed against the
negro. For this purpose he has had
under consideration for two years a
book with the above mentioned title,
THE Negro Is a Man" This book
proves that the negro has like rela-
tons to God as other races of the hu-
man family 1t is a complete answer
in every way to Prof. Carroll's argu-
ment. This book is now ready for the
public. 1t is easy to see it will meet
with ready sale. State agents wanted.

New Crop.
New York, Feb. 29.-The market was
very stnong, considering the recent adj
vance. At one time prices slid off
easily from 1890 to almost $4,000, but
in view of the big rise from Saturday
and Friday this was quite to be ex-
pected. On the break lot of cotton
was taken by outside interests, and at
Is cents a lot more was wanted.
The demand. however. carried prices
back to 1890 quickly, and then the
tone became somewhat irregular. The
strength to-day came from Liverpool
Spot cotton there sold at Is cents, AMI
futures shot up y cents. This carried
the local market up into the air, and
every one seemed to have buying or
ders early.
The best sentiment in the market
was in favor of prices and many talk
ed 16 cents for cotton before the end
of the week. We have seldom seen
so general agreement on the markt t
here in New York. All seem to think
the price is sure to go higher before
the end of the season. There is so
little cotton available, and receipts
are so small that it looks like a famine
before the new crop.
OF course, one must be conservative
on such an advance, but we would buy
on any breaks and look for a strong
market for some time to come. Fiji
teen cents is not such a high price
now as 1t was in January. Everything
in the situation itself is encouraging

The Savannah morning news., 1904-03-01

The market opened strong yesterday
on cables that were more than favor
able. An advance was noted in New
York ranging from % to 80 points.
Spots locally took an upward trend,
owing to the demand for supplies by
Southern mills. and brokers found no
difficulty in selling at &c advance by
the midday quotation. The spot mar
ket opened strong. an advance of a half
a cent being posted.
The early morning quotations. how
ever, were productive. of no sales, but
by noon ASA bales were reported dis
posed of.
The continued light receipts are
straws before the wind that incline
most traders to think that cotton will
soar to 16 cents before the middle of
the present week. Indeed some brok-
ers on change freely predicted that IS
cents wos not without the range of
possibility before many days.
= Cotton from a statistical standpoint
was never in stronger position than
at the present time. and if receipts do
not materially increase a famine is
looked for.
In the f. o. b. ring there was some
business.
The market opened on a basis of
good middling at 151sc and closed at
i555.sc.
Some sales were made after the noon
hour at 1880.
The interior is, as a rule, holding
firmly to what little cotton it has on
hand, and some brokers received wires
not to sell at any price below 16 cents.

DRY GOODS FIRM.

New York. Feb. 29.-The dry goods
market has been possessed of a firmer
tone. owing to the ever increasing
price of the raw material. While it has
had no palpable effect upon the quota
tons of piece goods. it has rendered
the insistence of buyers upon lower
prices less matter of consideration
by the seller or the manufacturer who
now find sufficient warrant for a main
tenance of values and look forward to
higher levels
