HOLD YOUR COTTON.

Mr. +. II. Weston, secretary of the
South Carolina division Of the South
ern cotton association, issues a very
urgent call to the farmers to with
draw their cotton from the market,
and suggests that there will be re-
action in the price. He states that
he has telegram from Texas, which
brings the information that the far
mers Of that state are withholding
their cotton from the market.
It is only by this method that the
farmers can obtain the price which
they have agreed to fix as the mini
mum, and there is no doubt that II
they We're in position and would carry
out the resolution Of the two assocla-
tions and not. sell any cotton for a
couple Of weeks, that the market
would soon react.
It is Unfortunate that the disturb
ance in financial circles in New York
took place just at the time 1t did,
for it naturally makes money rather
tight, and many southern bankse are
not in position to advance money on
cotton, and the merchants are forced
to make their collections in order to
meet their obligations, and that condi-
ton forces a great deal Of cotton on
the market.
It is thought, however, that reac-
ton will take place very soon and
money will reach a pvrma1 condition
in the financial centers, and 1t 1t
does, the price of cotton will certainly
go up. The difference between tne
price at which it is now selling and
the price which the farmers assocla-
tions fixed as the minimum, means a
very large sum of money, not only to
the south, but to the whole country,
for a very large proportion Of the
cotton crop is sold in the foreign
market.
We should be very glad to see our
farmers withhold their cotton from
the market as long as they are able,
for the reason that we feel satisfied
that the price will not remain as low
as it is at present very long.

DESERVED PROMOTION.

The many friends Of Col. R. W.
Hunt, who has been for some years
division passenger agent Of the outh-
ern in Charleston, will be glad to learn
that he has heen promoted to the posi-
ton Of assistant general passenger
agent of the Southern, with headquar-
ters at Atlanta.
We congratulate Col. Hunt on this
deserved promotion and recognition
of mis- services, but regret that 1t Will
necessitate his removal from our state.

REPEAL THE LIEN LAW.

Mr.. J. G. Richards, a member Of
the House Of Representatives from
Kershaw county, writes an article to
the News and Courier, in which he
says tnat his purpose in writing the
letter IS to call attention to the lien
law, and to the fact that he proposes,
in the next legislature, to press the
fight 1yr ihe repeal Of the law.
It is scarcely possible that there
will now be much fight necessary, but
what fight there is, will have to be
done with the senator's The house
of representatives last winter passed
a bill, by a good majority, repeating
the law, but, as we understand it, the
bill was , ontinued in the senate until
the next session.
Since Judge Brawley has decided
the contract labor law uneonstltutlon-
al, it is believed that it Will be much
easier to convince those wao favor
the present lien law, that it should be
repealed. As matter OF TACT, we
took the position before the decision
of Judge Brawley, that the repeal OF
this law would probably do more
than the enactment of any labor con-
tract laws in helping to solve the la
Dor question in this state. There
seems now no reason why the lien law
should be continued on our statute
books, and we hope that Mr.. Rich
ards Will direct his efforts and his
arguments towards the senators and
there will be no difficulty if repeal
inc the lien law, if We can get the SEN
ate right. It should be repealed, and
we have little doubt that there will be
any difficulty at the approaching ses-
sion of the legislature in securing its
repeal.

sTooK MARKET nEvrrM.
Speculative Interest Falls into n Dor
 mant State.

New York, May s.-Speculative inter- est in the stock market has fallen into a dormant state, apparently Opera tions in stocks were at minimum to- day and the feeble and uncertain flunc- tuations in prices were significant of the lack of a conviction on the part of the speculators. An early advance in a few stocks attracted. no important following and the signs of weakness in New York Central seemed to be due to further selling prompted by considera- tion of the wide margin below the div idend requirement. shown by the net earnings of the company for the first quarter of the year. An additional weak ening factor was furnished by the pub lication of the report of the state rail- road commission on the Brewster wreck. The selling of the stock was in small amounts but no support was ap- parent to check the declining tendency while these offerings continued. The pressure on the stock was liftedto some extent afFer the publication of the gross earnings statement for April, which showed an expansion of over 20 per cent. over the earnings for April of last year. Such state of increase, if maintained, would be sufficient to off, set even such a large growth in operat- ing expenses as was made in the March quarter and so would tend to preserve the integrity of the fund available for dividends. On the side of the crop news stocks fared better than for several days past Great importance was at tached to the moderating weather in the northwest as giving promise of op- portunity to expect the belated plant ing of spring wheat in time to leave good opportunities for harvest. Del aware x Hudson was better support ed less formidable than the vague ru- suggested nature of the financing said to be in contemplation was consider ed less formidable than the vaguer ru- mors which have proceeded these re- ports. Conditions In the money market underwent little change, although cir cumstances point to declining resources of the banks, Exports of gold are not in immediate contemplation apparently, but later outgo to Paris is still con- sidered probable. Sterling exchange re- acted at Paris today but was weak here also. Union Pacific seeSled to take little ham from rumors of an intend- ed issue of convertible bonds to fur nish needed resources. It rallied to a gain of a point in the late market.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value sa, ,2S4,O00.

OUR SAILORS
Are Landed in Two Hon

AS A PRECAUTlON.
Men from The Warship Marietta With
Safeguard American Interests
HOndurans Lose a Battle.

Washington, D. C.-Blue jackets
and marines have been landed
from the United States gunboat Mari
eta at Trujillo and Ceiba and prob
ably at Puerto CorteZ, Honduras, in or
der to protect American interests in
those ports. Advices to this effect were
received Thursday at the navy depart
ment from Commander Fulam, of
the Marietta. AS yet no word has
been received as to whether forces
have been landed at Central Ameri-
can ports on the Pacific coast side,
but undoubtedly this step will be
taken if American interests are con-
sidered in danger.
The navy department feels that the
action taken by Commander Fullam
brings the situation completely in
hand so far as the safeguarding OF
trade interests is concerned In adj
dition to the protection given to
Americans it is felt that the action of
this government will relieve foreign
governments of the necessity of TAX
ing any steps toward making a naval
demonstration. The landing of blue
jackets and marines and the policing
OF both shores of the Central Ameri-
can republics with United States gun
boats before trading vessels had been
molested or foreign interests jeopar-
died is regarded here as a diplomatic
move that will prevent any interna-
tional complications growing out of
the policy of the United States not to
permit European demonstrations in
Central American or South American
waters
Both coasts of the warning Central
American republics are covered by
American gunboats. In addition to
the Marietta on the Honduras Carib-
bean coast, which is the point regard
ed as most in danger, the Paducah is
further south on the Nicaraguan
coast On the Pacific coast side are
the Princeton, which is patrolling the
Nicaraguan coast and the Chicago,
which is patrolling the Salvadoran
and Honduran coasts.
Joint intervention by Mexico and
the United States in the war which
threatens to involve all Central Amer
lean is regarded as probable by di-
plomatists.
Managua, Nicaragua.-A dispatch
received here Wednesday from the
front says:
THE Honduran and Salvadoran
army. numbering over 5000 men, at
tackled the Nicaraguan positions at
Potillos de Namasique and after three
days and two nights of fighting the
Hondurans and Salvadorans were
completely defeated, leaving hundreds
of dead and wounded on the battle
field. The Nicaraguans also captured
many prisoners, among them being
several high officers, besides 1000
rifles and great quantities of all kinds
of war munitions. The Nicaraguans
lost many men wounded and had
few killed"
