Conditions i'm Wake.


The conditions referred to above are
said by students of gthe market to
have been very general in the South
and marked i'm North Carolina, al
though not as much so with respect TO
actual shortage of ginned cotton as in
some other States. For instance, in
North Carolina the number of bales
yinned i'm 1904 was 325,29S up to the
18th, while in 1905, to the same date,
the number was 309.o97, a falling off
of Is, POI bales to date. But it is well
known that the ginning of cotton this
season has been much faster than
ever known before.
From conversation with a number
Of farmers and merchants i'm Raleigh
Yesterday il was gathered that these
;acts apply with the greatest force TO
Wake county. Ginners at the 121
active gins in the county say without
exception that they have already put
through their gins two-thirds or more
probably three-fourths of the cotton
hey will handle during the season;
while at the same time last year they
had already handled over one-half OF
The total amount. If this condition
obtains as it is reported all over the
South and even more markedly the
indication of a shOrtneSs in the crop is
very strong.
"A.
ginners' reports for the Government
for Wake county was seen yesterday
and asked for the county figures for
this and last year In reply he re-
ferred TO his records which showed

however. what has been above stated,
hat the managers of gins had already
gotten through two-thirds or three
fourths of the crop. while last year
hey had ginned more than half the
entire crop for Wake county last sea
son being 81, 420 bales.
Taking the two-thirds estimate to
be true, the farmers of Wake county
who have already marketed this sea-
5on 1855 bales, have made this year
lbout 20,724 bales. Of which deduct
ng those already marketedl they nave
left 1888 bales. which at the higher
prices which are expected VIII prlhe
handsome returns.
1t must be remembered, also, thai

COTTON OUTLOOK
A Glance at Conditions
and Reports.
Owing to Peculiar Season the Ginner's
Report Means Smaller Crop Than
Bare Figures Would Indicate.
Farmers in Good Position.

The cotton scene on Wilmington
street was one of the busiest of recent
weeks. although the number of bales
received was not large, there being
only $50 bales sold in this market
That number. however. is exactly one
hundred bales more than were sold
on the same date last year.
The increase in receipts came,
doubtless. from two causes, the slight
increase in the price, and the fact that
the first of November. the day of set
Element for crop advances, is APP
preaching Cotton men and commits
sion merchants generally know that
tha end of October always brings in
creased receipts of cotton on account
Of the settlement day at the first OF
the following month. All over the
South thousands of farmers have OBJ
tanned in more or less degree advances
on their crops and by a long estab-
lished custom the vast majority OF
these are secured by mortgages and
notes which fall due on the first day
of November. Therefore the farmer
who owes money on his cotton is al
most certain to have some of his staple
for sale about the last of October. es-
pecially if, as this year, he has been
holding off for advances in the price
Experienced cotton men are saying,
therefore, that while the receipts for
the next few days may be expected to
be heavy they will fall off considerably
towards the latter part of next week.
PerpIexing Statistics.
There was never a season when the
complexities of the cotton market, so
far as statistics are concerned, were
so great as they are this year. In the
first place came the Holmes disclos-
ures and the conflict between the Gov
eminent report and that of the Cot
ton Growers Association which result
ed in the scandal in the department
and the issuing of a revised report.
Following this IL stir which sent prices
soaring, came 4 season of wonderful
weather. which in one way made the
condition Of cotton high and in an
other made it poor. The Government
condition report on this phase of the
situation was bearish and the prices
fell 1t was known that cotton was
opening with marvellous rapidity and
at an unusually early date. Fields
that in former years were only begin
ming to get white were practically
picked out. 1t was expected therefore
that the ginner's report would be bear
ish. On the contrary it showed the
number CT bales ginneq to be 4,y40,I2S
on the 18th of October, as against
6,421.O 900 on the same date i'm 1904, or
1.4S0,272 bales less ginned this year
than last. When ii is considered that
ginning this season has been very
rapid so that there is no doubt but
that a larger per centage of the crop
has been ginned up to this time than
at similar time last year. the sig
nifcance of the report from the point
of view of the student of prices is
enhanced beyond the figures them
selves

ROGERS-S0RRELL
Correspondence Between
Governor and COun-
sell.

Attention was called last week to
the action of the counsel for Messrs.
Rogers and Sorrell, serving sentence
in Wake county Jail for embracery, to
obtain the Governors assent 10 prison
bounds or some other relaxation of
the sentence. The grounds on which
this appeal was made were that Mr.
Rogers condition physically was dan
gerous and that of Mr.. Sorrcll was
very painful.
As the matter has been commented
on to some extent in the press Of the
state Governor Glenn yesterday gave
! out the pondence which has
been had i'm the matter between him.
| self and Col. J. c. l.. Harris. counsel
| for the two men in jail.
The Governor takes the ground that
| the request for prison bounds is in
the nature of a petition for commu-
tation of sentence and states that he
can take no action in respect there
| to unless he has before him the en-
| tire record in the case. He states,
| however. that if the prisoners de-
sire to have their sentences changed
from Jail to the county roads he will
direct that this be done.
In referring TO the matter of the
sentence to jail imposed ON the con-
victcd men, the Governor takes occa-
sion to mention the peculiar charac-
ter of sentence to Jail instead of to
the roads, which was commented on
in the News and Observer sCme time
ago and says that had they gone to
the roads such suffering as they have
experienced by reason Of close con-
finement and lack of fresh air would
have been obviated.

Way Opened for United States to ID,
With the New Nmtf0u.

Washington Nov. Lit is learned at
the State Department that this Gov
eminent has practically recognized the
Government of Norway. although all
the formalities have not been carried
out.
This was done by the recommends
tion of Secretary Root of Mr.. Hauge as
charge d'affairs for Norway, and the
way is now open for diplomatic ex-
changes between the two countries
whenever there is any necessity for
them.
1t is the understanding here that Mr..
Hauge will in the end become the first
fully accredited minister from Norway.
So far as the representation OF
America at Christiana is concerned, 1t
seems probable that c. H Graves, who
represents the United States at Stock
holm, will be requested to act in a
dual capacity as minister for Sweden
and for Norway until Congress makes
provision for a separate minister to
Norway.

BODIES OF MAN AND WOMAN.
Believed That She Was Murdered and

New York, Nov. IA man and wo-
man. whose identity the police are en-
deavoring to establish. were found dead
tonight in a hotel in Lexington Avenue.
The room was full of gas and all the
crevices of doors and windows were
stuffed with paper.
From the fact that woman's jaw was
broken and her body was covered with
recently inflicted bruises, the police are
under the impression that she was
killed by the man who afterwards COM
mitted suicide by turning on the gas.
The couple registered at the hotel
last night as Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson. {"

in the room but no attention was paid

EVIDENCE TO CONVICT.
Missing MOtOrman Accused of Three
Murders and Other Crimes.

Murders and Other Grimes.
Middleton, N. Y, Nov. Assistant
District Attorney Rogers announced to-
night that sufficient evidence has been
secured to convict Charles Henry Rog-
ers of this city of the murder of Fred
erick and Willis Olney and Alice In
gerick and the murderous assault on
Mrs. Ingerick, mother of the girl.
Rogers, who was motorman on the
electric road here. disappeared soon at
ter the murders and since then has been
under suspicion. He Is also charged
with issuing worthless checks about
the time of the murder and a reward
of $1,000 was recently offered for his
arrest on the charge of grand larceny.
A reward of $500 was also offered by
the county authorities for the convic-
tion of the murderer.
There is a suspicion that Rogers COM
mitted suicide soon after his disappear
ance, but many believe that he is hid
ing in the woods not many miles from
here.
