COTTON HARD TO GET.
Steamer Oceano Delayed Here Wait
ing for Cargo of Cotton

The scarcity Of cotton is giving the
exporters of that staple considerable
trouble. Since January the 4th the
firm of Alexander Sprunt & Son has
had a large vessel in port waiting
to load a cargo of cotton. but up to
the present time a sufficient quantity
has not been received.
The vessel which is here at the
present time is the British steamer
Oceano, Capt. Davies. The vessel is
the largest which comes to this port
being of $3.50 tons. 1t was the in
tention of Capt. Dawes to endeavor
to break the record in the number
of bales carried by any one vessel
from this port. The record is now
held by the Anglo-Saxon which car
ried a cargo of over 1900 bales.
For the past few weeks cotton has
been very scarce and it becomes more
and more evident hat the greater
portion of the crop has cen market
ed. The cotton mills throughout the
country a become aware of the
fact that there is very little cotton
to be had and they have gone to
buying heavily. This has caused the
exporters to get hold Of less cotton.
For the past two weeks the receipts
in Wilmington have ranged from 400
to 500 bales. With cotton coEaing in
at this rate it takes week to get
enough to load a vessel carrying
from 5000 to 1900 bales.
Cotton for the past week has been
higher than in fifteen or twenty
years, but still the amount being
placed on the market grows less and
less. Cotton was 1880 in New York
yesterday and 1875 in Wilmington.

WILL MOVE OFFICES.
Moved to S. A L. Building on
Front Street.

1t was learned yesterday that the
Seaboard Air Line freight Offices would
in the near future be moved from the
ding on Front street Severai OF the
offices in the Seaboard Air Line build
ing viii be fitted up and used for this
purpose. The agent OF the Seaboard
Air Line already has his office in this
building. Only two clerks viii be an
ployed at the Seaboard Air Lines ware
house. a transfer clerk n a delivery
clerk. All of the business will be trans
acted at the uptown office.
This change, the officials say, is made
for the convenience Of the public.
1t is learned that there will also be
some changes in the office force. Mr..
F. c. West, who has held a position
with the Seaboard here for several
years. has handed in his resignation.
A man from the Seaboard Air Line
offices in Portsmouth will take the po-
sition made vacant by Mr.. We
The change in the location OF the
offices will probably talk place about
February LIST. 1t will be necessary to
have some work lone on the offices in
the Seaboard Air Lin building on
Front estret, and this will consume
several days.
The Seaboard seems to be at las
considering the convenience Of the
public, although what has been done
and what the have signified an inten-
ton of doing is a matter OF small mo-
ment in regard to what they should do
A number of the flag stations between
here and Hamlet were disconSt nued,
but were eventually re-instated upon
the Corporation Commission notifying
the officials OF the road that the sta
tons were discontinued contrary to tbs
law. This vas a public convenience
that the Seaboard was practically com
PEELED to recognize. N matter Of
changing the location OF the offices &c
suit the public convenience IS vel
enough in a small way. but what tht
people want is a better railroad service
They want more trains and better
trains.
