HOT FOOTED RISE
IN COTTON PRICES
Gain Lost in Mid Session
On Liquidation.
STEADY AT The CLOSE
This Latter Was the Result of Cover
ing Promoted BY Firmer Southern
Spot Markets and Large Ex-
ports. Strong Finish in the
Wheat Pit.
CIV the Associated Press. J

New York May 26.4After a senSa-
tionally active advance at the opening
cotton lost the gain during the middle
session under heavy liquidation and re-
ports that leading bulls had unloaded,
10 steady up toward the close on cover
ing promoted by firmer Southern spot
markets and large exports.
The opening was strong at an ad-
vance of 16 to 20 points with excited
buying for both accounts in progress
and short sellers of the previous day
acting badly scared by the higher
Liverpool cable reports of rain more
or less generally over the belt and APP
prehensions of renewal of aggressive
bull support. But at the advance lead
ing interests sold very heavily indeed,
and when prices had gained another
point or two on the active months,
the continued realizing, the absence OF
concentrated bull support and rumors
that recent leading bulls, having taken
profits were going short for turn,
eased the market off, and in the early
afternoon prices were just about net
to unchanged. But while the idea that
the bulls had unioaded was borne out
by statement issued by the bull lead
er saying that without being bealfSn
he had taken his profits, reports or
firmer Southern spot markets and the
bullish character of private advices
concerning new crop prospects cduSeu
covering at the decline and in the late
trading the market was steady to tirm
with closing prices steady at a net adj
vance of SAG points. Sales were esti-
mated at $4,000 bales, futures.

COTTON.

New York, May 26.-In the spirit
Of candor which I always endeavor
to observe toward the public / beg
to say that l have this morning sold
out the bulk of the cotton that /
bought at very much lower prices In
saying this / do not mean to imply
that l am bearish. Present indica-
tons are that the crop of 1866 will
be marketed at much higher prices
than these now current for new crop
deliveries, but / am not clever enough
to hit the top, and L fully recognize
and have always recognized that no
great market movement is ever ac-
complished without reactions. AS
have repeatedly stated l am under no
delusion as to the impossibility of any
individual controlling the cotton
market and my action ought not to af-
feet the judgement of others. Mean
time it leaves me in a position to re-
purchase should the possible reaction
develop.

Trinity, N c., May 26.-About a
month ago the head master, Professor
Henry. of Trinity High School, Ran
dolph county, was taken i'll with APP
pendicitis, and it became necessary for
him to be taken at once to the hospital
for an operation. He was taken to
the railway station ON stretcher by
q procession of kind friends, leaving
the students i'm tears for the sad con-
dition of their beloved teacher. 1t
was all that his two physicians could
do to save his life until he reached
Salisbury hospital, and all during the
night, until reaction took place, when
an operation was decided ON.
He was i'm a critical condition for
days; and tidings that were anXiously
awaited here of a more favorable con-
dition, from day to day, until good
news came at last that there was hope
for him, when the campus rang with
cheers and an overflow of happiness.
The school had been left to Prof Clark
and Mrs. Henrys judicious and skill
full management, while their duties
were doubled as commencement was
near.
Prof Henry was improving rapidly
when assurances were given that he
would be able to return last Monday
to the great joy of the students.
They repaired to the station to greet
him with smiles of rejoicing and
hearty hand clasps, which were voiced
by his patrons and the citizens of
Trinity. His carriage was decorated
with flowers, and he was escorted by
glad hearts to his happy home. Nor
was Prof. Henry unmoved by this en-
thusiastic reception.
Seldom, if ever, was the popularity
of a teacher, and the attachment OF
students so beautifully illustrated, or
so fully demonstrated

NINtW DtIII JUItI IIeII'J
few days ago a large she bear and
three cubs were discovered on the
farm of Mr.. c.. A. Flowers in Pamlico
county, and being pursued, the old
bear took refuge in a tree, from which
she was shot and killed. In falling
one of the cubs was killed and the
other two were captured. They were
brought to New Bern to await sale
and shipment, but were finally pur-
chased by Mr.. John Slade, who will
train them as pets. They are larger
than a we'll grown cat and very gen
tie. They seem delighted to be petted
and rubbed.

New York. May 26.-The inherent
strength of the dry goods market is
evidenced in the independent attitude
of sellers who are sold ahead to an
extent that prevents many of the quo
tatiosns recently accepted being con-
sidered. Jobbers locally are quiet but
are sanguine of the future.

What might have proven a very
serious accident occurred Thurs

horse got away, the body was in
some way Knocked from the rest
of the buggy and landed with its

broken, and the young ladies
were on hand bright and early

The splendid honor so gracious

gard to their political affiliations.
The Peoples welfare alone shall
be my beaconlight, my compass

trolls my conduct. and in dealing
with each important problem that
from time to time may arise, it
shall be my sole aim to know

Hr. Russell, District Saperin-
tendent of Public Schools, gave
an admirable address at the Court
House Monday afternoon at ,
o'clock. The High School classes
attended in Il body. The doctors
address was an earnest appeal for
the better support of thc Public
Schools. The following are few
of the tersc truths which he emu
merated:
American people always get what
they want, and when Virginians really
want better educational advantages
they will have them.
There is not county from Lee
to Accomac but has felt the uplift Of
the Public School.
The most valuable asset of the South
to-day is its boys and girls.
The greatest danger to America to-
day is from no outside source, but the
passive Indifference OF its good people.
The Public School is the only FEAST
bic and practical plan of bringing ed
ucation within the reach of all the
people.
The man who digs ditch and does
II Wen Is dS honorable IN the sight OF
God and should be in the sight of his
fellow men as he who rules the des-
TIMES of nation.
The most miserable being on earth is
the educated drone.
II is criminal to pay the man who
cuts your corn or curries your horse
more than You pay him who builds up
the character OF your children.
Senator Sears followed with a
clear and practical educational
address.
