NO CHANGE OF NOTE
Cotton at About the Same
Figures for the Past
Four Days.

The spot cotton market here made but
a ripple yesterday in the way OF a
change.
While the top price was an eighth of
cent lower than the highest price of
the previous day this was no indication
Of lower market in general.
For New York, standing at 1G cents
a pound for the past four days, still
stood at Ii IA cents yesterday, and the
future market closed but a few points
off the highest prices OF the preceding
day, and in every month was at higher
figure at the close than at the open
ing.
Ninety-three bales of cotton were sold
here yesterday at prices ranging from
10 to ID 5-S cents pound, the ruling
prices being at from is 3-S to 10 Il
cents pound. A year ago twenty-five
bales were bought in Raleigh the prices
being at from 8 ga to rs cents a
pound.
The inclination in the market is GER
tainly bullish, this being shown in the
future market, while spot cotton having
made a stiff advance is holding on with
grim determination. A curious feature
OF the spot market is that while cot
tCiA was AZ IllO IICISS uUOliiOOu VI Id Genus
the spinners took matters easy, but now
that 1T has advanced they seem in
buying mood
Their condition is about on a parallel
with the farmers. When cotton was at
the lower figure there was little doing
but now with cotton selling at over
10 IL cents here, 16 IA cents in New
York, the cotton is finding its way to
market. In all the towns of the South
where cotton is handled it is coming
in again In larger numbers, though the
movement is not as large as was ex-
pected when the price went up.
This week is apt to see some lively ac-
ton in the market and while there is IL
the present outlook every symptom Of
an advance, it must be held in mind that
the same conditions existed when there
was high market before, and that then
& break came.

List of Children Who Are to At
tend Prepared.
County Superintendent Wright and

County Superintendent Wright and
Truancy Officer Ramsey have been
busy this week sending out to the
teachers lists of children between the
ages of and Is years who reside in
their respective districts and are under
the provisions of the truancy law.
When these lists are checked and re-
turned it will then be known just how
many of these children are actually en-
rolled. 1t will then be the duty Of
Truancy Officer Ramsey to see that all
unenrolled pupils are enrolled in school
at once.
The additional work of sending out
these lists was made necessary by the
delay in the appointment of a truancy
officer at the beginning of the school
year. The reports of absentees sent
in by the teachers for the first month
of school are now so old that they are
unreliable; in the succeeding months
many of the teachers, knowing that
there was TO truancy officer appointed
to enforce attendance. did not report
absentees.
THE good which will arise from the
strict enforcement of this law can not
be measured in dollars and cents" said
Superintendent Wright today, land
the question of expense to the county
resolves itself into this: is 1t not bet
ter to compel the attendance of these
truant children at school now rather
than support them In Jails and peniten-
