The cotton situation does NJ

The cotton situation does not
seem to improve, nor do we have
much hope for better prices be-
fore March. The crop this year
is on the bumper order. There
is only one chance for the farm
er as we see it. He must cut down
his cotton acreage and put in
more grain. Then will he be in
dependent.

Senator Christensen also gave
out the following statement;

THE prohibition leaders point with
pride and satisfaction to the good effects
of prohibition in p dry counties in
this State. These results are the results
Of local option prohibition. They are
the basis OF the faith we local option
prohibitioniSts have in reformation as
opposed to the proposed coercion OF the
Statewide prohibitionists. The people
OF these new dry couatieS made up their
minds gradually that it would be best
for themselves TO stop legalized liquor
selling in their counties, and they stop
ped it and like the results. Butif be-
fore they had been educated up to that
point, the people Of other sections OF the
State through the legislature or q State
wide vote. had forced them to take that
action the results would be very differ
eut.
''Counties in she southern and eastern
portions OF the State are being cduca-
ted up 10 prohibition, and under local
option will. believe, vote liquor out II
the next few years. But If it is attempt
ed to force them through Statewide
law, the growth OF prohibition sentl-
ment Will be checked, ana larleS ana
local officials Will not attempt 10 enforce
the obnoxious measure.
s'Prohibit;on is winning its way
uuder local option. Every gain is d
healthy gain. Why give it up? Why
is it not wiser for the eloquent, able
and public spirited workers for prohi-
bition who went into Laurens, Chester
and Clarendon and helped educate their
citizens up to the point where they
reached out and took prohibition-why
is it not wise: for them 70 continue this
successful fight rather than turn from
that plan of campaign and begin an at
tempts TO coerce? They have succeed
ed in leading. but can they drive:"

A STATESMANLIKE VIEW.

Senator Christensen Of Beau
fort, one of the active workers in
the State senate, and who is one
of the coming men of the State,
was invited to attend the recent
caucus Of the Prohibitionists in
Columbia. after he had written
the Superintendent Of the Anti
Saloon League that he was not in
full sympathy with a state wide
prohibition law. Among the
things he said in his letter to
Rev. J. L. Harley is the follow
ing.
Il DO not know that YOU would con-
slider me prohibitioniSc. | am q local
optionist. Of course one can be both.
'sThis phase of the liquor question
was not discussed in the campaign in
which | was renominated TO the Sen
ate, and am not pledged or in any
way committed to my constituency as
between local option and Statewide
prohibition. Personally have always
been a teetotaler and wish to do what
I can to bring the day when liquor shall
no longer be used. So presume some
would call me a prohibitionist. But I
believe that we can establish an enforc-
ed prohibition sooner through local op.
ton than through Statewide prohibit
ton
II congratulate you and your orsani-
ZatiOo on the work YOU aid for prohibit
ticn 10 Union, Clarendon, Chester and
other counties where the question has
come up for decision at the ballot box.
The work of the anti-saloon league. as
| have known of it through The press,
seems 70 me to be one of the hopeful
signs OF the times. But | think that in
this State at this time our common oo-
iect can be soonest obtained through
county movements.
1T may be possible 10 pass State
prohibition bill at the coming session
of the legislature, but you can not Sc
cure at present in many OF the counties
an enforcement that will help matters.
The equities are the units and they
should be won over Spartan burg makes

a public sentiment that will convict
prominent citizen OF illegal liquor sell
ing iu - minutes, as was done last week.
But what of US who will not convict on
any evidence? We don't need more
laws. we need reformation. We car

This is slower course, but 1t IS, be-
lieve q surer one.

"A new low price on this decline was made for Shelters in a contest between the specialist and Wrenn Brothers to sell large block of stock. This forced the price down from 6s IA at the open ing to about 62 1-2.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Reduction in Discount Rates Abroad
 Gives Spur to Opening Operations.

New York, Jan. 2S.-The movement of the stock market day was under constraint and professional operations were not able to make much impress sion on prices. The dealings made up a large portion of the total transac tions. The technical causes for the imm mobility of the market were quite obvious, but they threw little light on the opinions of we'll informed holders of securities on the question of val ues The reduction in the official dis count rates of both the banks of Eng land and of France was made the oc- casion for opening prices here on a higher level. The promptitude with which advantage was taken of the ad vance to make sales for the purpose of realizing profits was accepted as showing the desires of the larger speculative class. But when the pro fessional traders attempted to follow this hint by sales of stocks in contin- uation of the movement they found fewer stocks coming on the market and felt obliged to turn again and cover their short contracts An in ference was drawn of strength on the part of the bull party owing to the subsistence of selling pressure on the decline, but 8 desire to reduce their holdings at profitable levels was ar gued from the eagerness of the sell ing on the advance Prices fell back sharply to the lowest at the last The pause in speculative activity was In harmony with the tenor of news of af- fairs. The rapid progress towards ease In the money market was unac- companied by any positive evidence of revival being thus stimulated in trade activity, although improvement in sentiment in various lines of trade was discernible as it applied to hopes of future revival This was true of the iron and steel trade, regarding which, however, the appearance of the United States Steel quarterly re- port next Tuesday is awaited before forming any definite conclusions on the subject It was significant of the feeling persisting towards questions of new capital issues that suggestions of new loans caused depression in exist ing securities of the companies affect ed. Delaware and Hudson was an ex- emple, the severe recent decline in that stock being followed by we'll de- fined reports to-day of the placing of $10,000,000 one year note issue. The announcement of a treasury call on the New York banks for s10,000, 000 of government deposits was passed over as an unimportant incident in view of the flow of money to the banking centers and also of the heavy current deficit In the government revenues which puts government re- sources back into the money market

Bond sales were still smaller than the day before. Call money was at 1 1-2 per cent in the last hour. a new record for the year
 The market opened higher, rose lit- tie, and then broke sharply under re- newed pressure of the same sort that was in evidence yesterday. New low prices for this movement were scored by American Smelling, Reading. New York Central, Pennsylvania, and others this being responsible for the weakness of the general market. The volume of trading was about the same as yester- day morning. Before noon a moderate rally was in progress. some stocks be- ing at midday higher than yesterdays closing figures.

London Sells Moderately on the Opening Squirt, Putting Out
 10000 Shares.
BREAK IN THE AFTERNOON
A New Low Price Made for Shelters
 Delaware and Hudson Negotiations

London sold moderately on the open ing spurt on the New York market yesterday, putting out perhaps 10000 shares on balance. American stocks were strong on the other side before the New York opening. with some gains of a point or more. The reduc- ton in the discount rate of the Bank of England from to 4 per cent, and in that of the Bank of France from 3 1-2 to 8 per cent, had a good effect sentiment abroad, though it appeared to have been largely discounted prior to to-day.

The morning journal-courier., 1908-01-24

Yesterdays important reductions in foreign discount rates and the contin- ued ease in money here did not serve to make any better market for stocks. In wact, prices acted just as though the tendency of money rates had been radically Tn the other direction. The broker nowadays has no trouble in bor- rowing money enough to carry as large a line of stocks as pleases him. But that is not his point of view. He ac- cepts the low rates as evidence that the goods in which he deals are losing value through the falling trade of the country. This presents to him the pic ture of defaulted and reduced or passed dividends

One of the weakest stocks was New York Central. The support that 1t had around par seems to have been entire ly withdrawn since the equipment notes were disposed of So much crit icism has been heard of the payment of the unearned 6 per cent. dividend that, with traffic as it is to-day, there is a fair prospect of a reduction in the rate at the next quarter unless some of the elastic dividend policies of the subsi- diary companies, like Lake Shore and Michigan Central. can be stretched a little bit further

Cutting of cotton goods prices. ad- vices of general retrenchment inrail- road operating expenses as a result of Nduced traffic, reported plans to re- duce wages at important steel mills, and expectation that many corpora tions will be in the market soon to re- new maturing loans-contributed to the uncertainty of the stock market to-day. It was apparent that the selling for both long and short account more than offset, at times, during the day. the "buying power" It was largely this that caused the sinking spells in se- rurities at various times during the day.
