The dry goods people reported the

From Yorkville to the Dam.
The surveying party engaged In
running a line between Yorkville and
the dam of the Catawba Power COM
pany completed its preliminary work
last Saturday. On the outward trip.
the surveyors struck the river about
a mile above the power house. This
was because the true course was
largely matter Of guess. Messrs.
Faires and Stacy made a careful cal
culation on the basis of data secured
from the first line, changed the degree
somewhat and on the return trip,
came out exactly at the York Cotton
mills. The distance was 12t miles.
The measurement from the York mills
to the Tavora mills showed a distance
Of II miles A member of the survey
ing party suggested to the reporter
that owing to the large quantities Of
timber along the return route, It is
quite probable that there will be some
change in the course. AS to this,
however. he could not speak definitely.

Strengthening out curves. There are
some steep grades on this line from
Catawba river northward, too steep to
admit Of the hauling Of heavy trains,

sharp to come up to the requirements
Of modern railroading. 1t has not
been practicable to get at the exact

matter; but it Is understood that
they have considerable changes under

several hundred thousand dollars
within the next few years In making
them. AS to just when or where they
will commence, it is not practicable to
get information at this time.

NEW YORK COTTON.

The following summary or the COT
ton situation as seen In New York last
Saturday by the Commercial editor OF
the New York Sun and published in
Sundays edition Of that paper Is Of
more than passing interest:
A consumption Of cotton for the
week Of 275,000 bales, or over 100000
more than for the same week last
year, is the straw showing which way
the wind blows in the cotton trade and
just why the market holds such firm
front to the large receipts. The big
crop movement, In other words, is
offset by big consumption. The mill
takings this season are likely to be far
the largest on record. Then, too, the
planter does not give way. Spot mar
kets are notoriously firm all over the
south. One man hardly exaggerated
the situation today when he said that
"for every bale of cotton there are
two buyers" Fertilizer sales In Geor-
gia and Alabama are a little larger
than for the same time last year, but
the ground, 1t Is argued, will not all
be planted to cotton. Much or II VIII
be devoted to grain and other crops,
and nobody knows just what the sea
son Is going to be. All that anybody
does know about 1t at the present time
Is that It is two to four weeks late.
At the moment the speculation Is un-
deniably small, and It would be prac-
tically devoid of life but for the Wall
street element. These interests were
buying October here and In New Or
leans today, and large spot interests
appear to have taken certain amount
Of July and October. For this rea-
son prices rallied before the close, re-
covering a trifiing decline early In the
day due to rather disappointing Liv-
erpool advices, fine weather and some
selling by a few commission houses
There Is much conjecture as to who
was buying October through we'll
known Wall street commission house.
Some attribute 1t to Mr.. Sully, and
others say they have good reason TO
believe 1t is for well-known wall
street interests. interests admittedly
powerful financially. In any case Wall
street Is inclined to be bullish on the
market, and 1t Is argued that trying TO
shake out Wall street people will be
different proposition from shaking out
some Of the German element, when
has more than once been successfully
done this season. The undertone OF
the market Is firm, owing to the large
consumption. 1t Is strengthened In
some degree, however, by the lateness
of the season, the belief that the acre
age will be decreased to some extent
and that 1t will be too much to ex-
pect another ideal season such as was
witnessed last year.
