WHAT PRICE SAYS

these are Radical Opinions, But in
Times Of Revolution Only Radi.
Gals are Right"

The first utterance of Theo. Fl. Price
on the bull side, will be closed mis-
holdings at an enormous profit some
weeks ago, is as follows:
"Arithmetically, today's govern
ment report indicates an Amcric an
cotton crop for 1905-06 of 1O,273,500.
This assumes a plant as far advanced
as last years at this time, and the
same remarkably favorable weather
hereafter that existed in 1904. The
first condition does not exist and cam
not be developed. The second is alto
gether unlikely. Reasonably consd-
cred, therefore, the trade is called up
on to adjust itself to the expectation
of a crop of under 100000 bales
for the coming season.. l hesitate 10

TATE PRICE OF COTTON,
Joseph III. Hoatlley and Others to Take
100000 ales. from supply
Dream of Big Profits.
(New York American.)

Joseph H. Hoadley, inventor, mill
lionaire and stock market operator,
admitted yesterday that he had form
ed a huge pool for the purpose OF
pulling the cotton market. The
amount of money involved is approx
Imately $50,O0O.O00, and the men who
are interested with Mr.. Hoadley arc
said to be financiers of high standing
here and abroad Names of his asso-
ciates Mr.. Hoadley yesterday refused
to divulge.
The pool has for its prime object
the bulling of the cotton future mar
ket to such a point as to permit Mr.,
doadley and his friends to take profits
On a line of about 100000 bales of
contracts for future delivery, which
they have acquired at considerably
lower prices than the present.
For this purpose. the pool proposes
to purchase 100000 bales of spot
cotton at about ten cents pound
from members of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association. These one mil
lion bales are to be put aside and sold
only to bona fide spinners. for actual
and immediate consumption.
Would Dictate the Price.
In this way it is hoped to make it
possible to push up the price of future
contracts to figures we'll above the
present quotations on the theory thai
by taking a full million bales, or about
ne-tenth of the entire crop, away
away from the spectators, to be used
rs a ball for their own purposes, the
actual amount of cotton available fol
delivery under future contracts will be
SO small that there will not be enough
to go around, and thus the hackers OF
the scheme will be able to dictate the
price for futures, even if they should
not be able to actually engineer cor
ner.
If. as Miss Giles, the woman statis-
tician, predicts, the crop is likely to be
not much more than 100000 bales
then they expect that the scheme Will
prove highly successful.
This is not the first time that Hoad-
lev has ventured into the cotton mar
<et as a Speculator. 1t is known that
ne was heavily interested in the frs!
attempt on the part of Daniel j. Sully
TO force corner of the staple in this
market two years ago.
First Venture Since Spring.
Mr.. Hoadley has now just recovered
from a bad automobile accident and
his present venture is about the first
in the ED of speculation since last
spring.
The announcement of the formula
ton of this huge pool came too late tc
become generally known on the Cottor

pected was given by the late strength
of the market.

TO Be EXHUMED
DR.. Jordan in Pittsboro
to Make an Autopsy on
Nails Remains.

The Composite Tile Company, which
was chartered Friday will manufac-
ture cement roofing tile at Goldsboro
and other points throughout the State.
1t is claimed that after thorough tests,
and Investigations the company has
demonstrated that it has in its pro-
duct the best roofing material that
has ever been placed on the market
and at a cost that will enable those
wishing a first class roof to obtain it
at nominal cost.
1t is the purpose of the company
within short while to have large
plants in the larger towns and cities
throughout the State in operation, and
to be able to supply the large demand
which it is now having for its tiles.
They claim that there are many ad-
vantages in the use of cement for a
roof covering. The tile is fire-proof.
and is absolutely indestructible so far
as the exposure to heat and cold is
concerned.
Mr.. E. G. Porter, of Goldsboro, is
the president of the company. and Mr..
