Excursion to Oxford June 25-MasOniC
Meeting There.

One of the most pleasant excursions
that has been arranged for this season
from Raleigh is that to Oxford on st.
Johns Day. Leave here at 1850 a. m. !;
on return, leave oxford $50 p. M,
going and returning in the coolest part
of the day No change of cars. Dis
lance not too far nor too near. 1t is a
gala day for old Granville. Go and see
for yourselves what is being done for
the unfortunates in that grand institu-
ton. 1t is worth your while to go and
see the happy, smiling faces of the
children, and the reception they give
the Grand Lodge of Masons, as they
march through the open ranks of ESQ
little ones to the grand stand. God
bless them. 1t makes one feel proud
that he is a Mason or the friend of the
noble order.
Now as to the barbecue, please read
the poster fine" instead of free" as
the cold type has it, then you will read
it correct No one would think of GO
ing to an orphan asylum to get a free
dinner, unless he was an orphan. If
families so desire they can take lunch
with them, or they can get barbecue
at a reasonable price; also ice cream
and lemonade, and a plenty of free
water. There is no doubt about the
free water If the day is favorable
two to three thousand people will be
present 1t is Il great day for old
Granville. r. H. BRADLEY.

New York, June 23.-The market
for stocks continues to harden ana
speculative sentiment is gradually i'm
proving. Today's market was not
marked by any great degree of activ-
ity, nevertheless, several issues
reached new high records for this
movement. Steel preferred was again
prominent and Sugur and Can Pacific
reached higher figures.
All grains today showed considerable
quiet strength, but at the close prices
were practically unchanged from yes
terday Offerings were light and the
market was without particular feature.
July corn opened wildly from As 1-2
to 40 1-2 on the failure of a cash
dealer, but later the option declined
TO the low figures. Much of the
strength of wheat was caused by addi-
tional reports of damage to the foreign
crops, heavy storms being reported
over many parts of Moravia and Hun
gaira, with much consequent damage.
Oats quiet, provisions dull but
steady.
Liverpool failed to maintain its
early strength and in consequence the
local market opened weak at extensive
declines. Spot holders have been great
ly disappointed over the failure of
spinners to buy more freely on the re-
cent severe decline, and it now appears

Raleigh. N. c.. June 23-It is sell
dom in the history of cotton growing
that such a weather map is shown rs
was shown this morning. From the
location of rains it looked as though
a watering pot had been held over the
belt by an ideal map. After the adj
vance of yesterday there was nothing
to be done but sell cotton again. The
selling carried october from 9.65 to
9.42. There was as much weakness
as there was strength yesterday.
From the start it was evident that
there was no hope for the market
Weather was too good. Two months
of this sort of thing and we will raise
$4,000. 900 bales. The question is,
will this sort of thing continue. There
is the problem. One might as we'll
admit that as long as conditions are
perfect cotton will gradually work
lower. Therefore cotton can be sold
on bulges Only care must be eX
ercised about the weather. AS long
as the outlook is o. k. you cannot bull
cotton. Might just as we'll try to fly.
But the first turn of bad weather will
send prices kiting.
