Market News

Yesterdays 's session of the New York stock exchange was about as uninter- esting as it well could have been, the market being narrow and trading list less. Price changes were unimportant. There have been several cross currents at work in the market for securities of late, and the result has been an ir- regular movement of values. Opera tions continue to be confined largely to the low priced stocks and the rapid ad- vance in some of these securities has caused uneasiness among the conserva- tive banking interests, and they are us- ing their influence to discourage inor- dinate speculation. There have been persistent rumors recently that an i'm. portant interest in the street threaten ed to throw large block of securities on the market if the speeulators did not curb their enthusiasm. The gen eral trend of stocks yesterday was downward, although the losses in most cases were small. Arizona Commercial and Superior X Boston were the strong est of the local stocks, both selling high CT. Profit taking on Arizona Michigan caused it to sell down to 3S to l l-2. The liquidation in this stock should be over in a few days, when there vii. doubtless be some recovery. Active stocks bought on recessions will make the investor money.

Is commonly said of babies who have died of the croup. How unneccensary this is. No child ever had the croup without having a cold or cough at the start. If you will stop the first symp- tom of the cough with Ballard's Hore- hound Syrup there is no danger what ever of croup.

Some uneasiness has been caused in financial circles by reports of unsatis factory prospects for the winter wheat crop The important bearing which next years crops will have on the business situation is generally recog- nized. There was a prolonged drouth in the winter wheat section, but as usual the stories of crop damage have been greatly exaggerated. The govern ment' s December report on the condition of winter wheat was much more favor able than had been anticipated, and since it's publication few days ago wheat options have had a sharp de. cline. However, wheat is in strong hands, and the long side of the mar ket looks to be the safest.
 Cotton declined about fifteen points on Saturday and Monday, the March option selling down to 8.72. There was ten point recovery on Tuesday. The weakness in cotton has been caused by the very heavy receipts at practically | HIl LHc iudIhtlo, anu lhc lc- vised estimates of the size of this year s crop, which by some people in the trade is figured at more than l4,000,000 bales The future of the market looks uncer- tain.
 Despite the continued weakness of commercial bar silver, which made a new low record of 475-S during the week, the Cobalt mining companies continue to. declare increased dividends. Crown Reserve has declared a quarter ly disbursement of l2 per cent, with a bonus of per cent. The Nipissing di- recters will meet on December 20, at which time they are expected to de- clare an extra dividend of 2, or possibly per cent, in addition to the regular per cent quarterly disbursement. The Buffalo Mines, Limited, has declared a quarterly dividend of 5 per cent, and an additional dividend of l per cent month, as against previous disburse- ment of 3 per cent quarterly, the same rate as three months ago. The action of Kerr Lake in deferring the subject of extra dividends for another guar. ter, is regarded as conservative, al l though the company is said to be in a position to pay bonus to stockholders at this time.

PROHIBITION.

Having been asked several times our
position in regard to Prohibitions, we
here give our view of it as it appears
to us: So far as the law itself is con-
cerned, we are not in sympathy with it,
not that it is a case with us of"My God
Almighty. my heart is with you, but
my stomach is against YOU" But from
the fact that we believe high license
land we mean high, open saloons
(oPEN, mind you)-and drunkenness
punishable by fine and service on the
county roads, preferable to blind tigers,
and judgments suspended. However.
the question to decide is a great, moral
one. and viewing it from a moral stand
point, and realizing that it is the most
important issue that the State has ever
lac to deal with since We arrived at the
age OF manhood, we feel that it would
be compromising our interests in the
welfare OF our fellowman, trampling
under foot the pleadings Of hundreds
OF good women and thousands of help
less children, whom the curse of drink
renders most pititul and deprived Of
all that goes to make life worth living,
were we to vote against it. The great
moral issue involved appeals to us, and
were we as great a devotee as ever paid
sacrificeourown tastes and indulgences
it it would be the means of r%escuing
some fellowbeing from the whirlpools
of degradation and final loss OF soul, TO
which the cup leads.
! We were talking to an esteemed
friend, of the pest farmers in the
country, a man with several sons and
grandsons, rho said he could not sup
port it. We told him we could not vote
a saloon at his door unless we were
he replied, ST would not let you vote
one at my door."
"That is just it," we replied, and
when you vote for saloons you vote to
put one at somebody's door. AS we
think of it, the more the moral side OF
the question looms UP before our mind
and duty to ourself, our country and
our Maker demands of US the exercise
of our franchise IN e~radicating that
which is responsible for more crimes,
more heartaches, more sorrow and un.
happy homes than all else combined.
Viewing it from the standpoint we
DO 1t appeals to us deeply; it resolves
itself into a question of right and
wrong, and as such, we cannot fail tc
place the stamp Of our approval on il
as we see the right, and in so doing
have the assurance of knowing tina,
we are on the side of morality religious
and all else hat goes to make the
world better, and the consciousness O.
the approval of heaven itself.

In TEN YEARS.

Ten years ago last Friday Dewey
steamed into Manila harbor, where his
victorious ships soon pulled down a
flag tina Magellan had unfurled CEN
turtles before. He had no battleship,
The country possessed at hat time but
four battleships, and the largest one
measured but $50 feet. Dewey's fleet
is now obsolete, and if any of his ships
are retained in the navy they are per-
forming humble duties, for in the ten
years that have elapsed naval construc-
ton has been revolutionized. Warship
follows warship, each one faster, better
protected, equipped with heavier guns,
longer, with greater displacement than
it's predecessor. Turbines are supple
menting reciprocating engines, and no
one can foresee what ten years more OF
change and naval ambition may lead
to. The battleship of today is nearly
900 feet long, carrying about % rifed
guns, and protected by armor nearly
two feet thick. Dewey's ships of ten
years g were weaklings when COM
pared with the Connecticut and the Del
aware of today.
Ten years and six days after Dewey
fought and won the battle of Manila
bay 46 vessels OF the American navy
will enter the Golden Gate, for on tomor-
row morning the fleets OF the Atlantic
and the Pacific will then and there be
united. Eighteen battleships will be
in line, followed by % cruisers, gun
boats, destroyers, topedo boats and
auxiliaries. 1t will be the greatest
parade Of modern fighting ships that
this world, old as it is, has ever known
the product of a single decade.
But what Of the coming decade? The
cost of a great battleship today is $40,
600, 200, and ten years hence, as things
naval are going, it;may be twice hat
sum. But, in a ~changetul century,
century of ship canals, of flying ma
chimes, of wireless telephony, or at least
biography, and of the solution of diff
cult economic problems, nothing will
seem astonishing. Certainly not the
$20, 600, 900 battleship, which will be q
floating fortress, l, 900 feet long and
supplied with rifed guns whose range
and penetration would now seem almost
incredible.
But, amid all these changes men and
women will be essentially unchanged,
leading among these wonders of con-
struction lives not materially unlike
the lives lived 1000 years ago or the
lives that will beloved 1000 years hence.
Humanity is, in other words, a stand
patter amid elements OF change and
perhaps of progress.

ELDER COLDS VIEWS.
Raleigh News and Observer.

Raleigh News and Observer.
Some days ago the editor of this
paper addressed a note t. Elder P. D.
Gold, the editor of Zion's Landmark
and the ablest leader of the Primitive
Baptist church, asking his views upon
the pending State prohibition PROPOSE
ton. Everybody whoknows Elder Gold
knows that he stands againstwhatever
is wrong n for what he conceives to
be for the right, and that he does so
with liberation and charity for others.
Answering thatletter Elder Gold writes
as follows, giving permission to print
his views:
ITO the Editor: From my youth /
have considered whatever encourages
drunkenness a damaging business. to
good morals. and to everything else
that Is praiseworthy. Therefore,, I
have never from b outset of this pro-
hibition campaign intendedito vote for
The manufacture or sale ofintoxicating
drinks.
"While I do not consider Prohibi.
ton, as it Is called, will exterminate
the evil of drunkenness, yet I cannot
give my vote for what might seem to
encourage the great evil of drunken
ness,
II would love to live in a country
where every man is sober. TT is good
neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine,
nor anything whereby thy brother
STUN bleth, or is offended, or is made
weak.'-Rom. xiv:21.
"Let every man vote in this matter
as seems right to him, or not vote. Bit
erness should not be encourage, but
liberty of conscience should be allowed.
Let your moderation be shown. I do
not desire to control the votes of others.
I desire to preach the Gospel which
contains every good thing, and pro-
hibits evil.
Respectfully,
"P. D. GOLD.
Wilson, N. c.. May 2, 1905"
In this brief letter Elder Gold has
given the chief reason that will ac-
tuate good men in refusing to vote
"tor the manufacture or sale of whis-
key" Every sensible man knows
Elder Gold states the truth when he
says; ST do not consider that Prohibi-
ton, as it is called, will e~xterminate
the evil of Drunkenness" Of course
it will not do that. It will lessen the
evil and remove temptation, but no
human law can make men good. Ell
der Gold, while looking at the ques-
ton as 1t is and not carried away by
any false hopes, adds, yet I cannot
give my vote for what might seem to
encourage the great evil of drunken
ness" He then quotes the Word OF
God in support of his view and con-
cIudes with righteous admonition to
"Let every man vote in this matter as
seems right to him, or not vote. Bit
terness should not be encouraged but
liberty of conscience should be allow
ed"
