The GsldSbOro Traction Company
Sounds Well.

1t was in April that the Boar of
City Aldermen granted to Mr.. e. t.
OIiver-for himself. his associates and
assigns-a franchise for the construc-
ton and operation of street railway
in Goldsboro, in the construction of
which railway work was to begin in
80 days from the granting Of b fran
chise, which would give Mr.. oliver
until July to begin work.
That Mr.. oliver means business has
never been questioned by those who
know him, and if any who do not
know him entertained doubts as to the
integrity OF his purpose, those doubts
will oon be dispelled or esta blished.
as July is now not far of.
In the meantime, however, else

advertisement Of the G~oldsboro Trac-
ten Company, of which Mr.. oliver is
manager, fer five thousand crossties ,ts

would indicate that preparations are
under way to begin the construction OF
our proposed street railway within
the time limit of the franchise. We &c

Baltimore has hnallys passed the or
zled, or in leash, when they are on the
streets, and the News ofthat city makes
the following sensible observations on
the new law:
1.-THE council did q thoroughly sensi-
BILE thing in finally passing the ordi-
nance compelling dogs thatars permit
ted to run the streets to wear muZzlss
or else to be held in leash. It depends
altogether on those who own dogs
whether the muzzle shall cause the dog
to suffer as much as some wne pro-
fess to think.
When you take int consideration,
first, the fact that the dog has no bust
ness running at large, it does not seem
any particular hardship to foroe the
owner when he lets his pet roam the
streets to muzzle him. 1t he doesn't
want to put the muezle on, he car keep
the dog at home. In the mex place,
the muzzle can be made so that it will
not prevent the dogs breathing as
much as he p~leases.
but in the inala analysis, if we must
choose between i~nhicting an &C.
kno wledged hardship on the dog and
running the risk of hydrophobia-or,
Diminishing the risk of hydrophobia,
let us say, of Witnessing dozens of per-
sons each month being more or less
mutilated by dogs-we think the great
majority Of persons favor imposing
the hardship on the dog"

EXTREMES CoNTRAsTED.

Future trading in cotton is conducted
through either the New York or the
New Orleans Cotton Exchanges, and
Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner OF
corporations, discusses in the second
installment of his report the classical
ton of cotton deliverable on contract.
Mr.. Smith does object to some details
of the New Orleans plan, but the entire
scope of the New York fxed-difference
plan is condemned. Let one quotation
from Mr.. Smiths report su fic as fol-
lows:
IA specific instance of deliberate
o~vergrading took place in the latter
part of 1906, when the board OF appeals
of the New York exchange instructed
the classification committee to admit
to tho certificated stock al}cotton which
passed the preliminary and informal
examination Of the assistant inspectors
at the dock, although the same might
later have been held rejectable by the
classification committee on its final
classification. This cotton, thus forced
In, was to take the lowest grade OF GER
tin G stock.
"This ruling was in direct conflict
with the bylaws of the exchange. The
classification committee entered q pro-
clips of suSh rejectable cotton, should
havs been rejected When the new
management ofthe exchange came into
Office in June, 1907, this practice was
stopped"
And yet the New York cotton ex-
change has done nothing to clear itself
Of this charge. It does not enter a de-
NAL. A system that il capable of such
trust or do business with. Mr.. Smiths
criticisms of the New Orleans exchange
extend to details only, leaving the in
tsgrity of the institution unstained. In
other words, New Orleans is criticised,
but New York stands indicted.
A Federal grand jury in New York
has intensifed the situation by finding
indictments against several members
Of b New York Cotton Exchange for
tampering with the cotton Information
gathered by the Department of Agri-
culture. These men stand well in the
New York Cotton Exchange, but they
did not stand well enough in the grand
jury room to escape Indictment. The
trail of the indicted men will no doubt
throw more light on the peculiar meth

Iron and steel trade reports were favorable, but some fears were felt that the quar- terly report of the United States Steel Corporation to be given out tomorrow would prove disappointing. The extent to which the steel shares have risen in market value seems to promise a good report and speculative holders were dis posed to take their profits rather than risk a disappointment on the publication.

Seven are also opposed to declaring no nomina- tion and calling upon the two contestants to run in third primary. And thus the committee is evenly divided upon two of the propositions voted upon at the ad- journed meeting.
 e The precincts in which the illegal votes were cast were carried by large ma jority for Mays, and to throw out, as provided by law, would result in the nomination of Kehoe. The result is awaited with the greatest interest.

 The wheat market opened weak and developed additional weakness as the session advanced. At the outset the market was depressed by the continued favorable weather in the northwest and by the weak tone of European cables Later in the session a liberal increase in the movement of new wheat in the southwest, and an increase of 1922, GOO bushels in the American visible supply caused still greater weakness. The mar ket closed weak at almost the lowest point September opened 1sp4c lower. at 90Ae, sold off to S9c and closed at S9ssc Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 969, 900 bushels.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re- ported receipts of 596 cars, against 561 last week and 3S5 year ago.
 Corn was affected by a Id decline at
  Liverpool, and by the hot, forcing weather which is now prevailing oyer the greater portion of the corn belt. The market was weak all day. The close was weak, with prices only trifie above the low mark. September opened 9sc to Bc lower, at 759sal5Bc, sold off to 747sc, and closed at .51sc Local receipts with of da Oats were extremely nervous and prices fluctuated over wide range Sentiment in general was bearish, owing to the weakness of wheat and corn.

 Quickly Sets In LONDON STARTS SELLING Unfavorabe Interpretation Given to Tafts Undelvered Speech in
 London Is Principal Cause
 of Downward Turn.
LONDON STARTS SELLING

New York, July 27.-The reactionary tone which reasserted itself in the stock market today seemed to be based on technical causes largely. Lack of news to afford any otlfer explanation corrobo- rates this view. The professional ele- ment came to the conclusion that the strong rally on Saturday was due to driving of the short interest rather than to a resumption of accumulation by the large forces which have been back.of the market for several weeks past An at tempt was made to extend this move- ment early today. The distribution of buying orders was made to look as though coming from the strong interests which have supported prices for con- siderable period past. The weight of the selling orders on the advance created the suspicion that this demonstrative buying was designed to cover efforts to realize. Prices consequently turned down. wards. There were some selling orders for London account, which aggravated the depression.
 The London selling was said to be due . to unfavorable view of the effect on financial affairs to be looked for from Judge Taft's speech of acceptance of the republican nomination. Reports were cur rent that abstracts of the speech were published today in London. The brisk rSlly which occurred in stocks in New l rk on Saturday was attributed to ad- vanced knowledge of the contents of the speech. The information on which these contrary movements were based was in agreement as to the substance of tue speech indicating a conflict of views oi IT its significance rather than a differ ence in the reports of it's alleged sub stance. There was some discussion of the friction between Holland and Vene- zue1a. The reports regarding the incident bore some signs of bear origin in their attempt to indicate threatened involve r.ent in arms of several European gov eminent by naval demonstrations against Venezuela, with an implied danger of embodiment of the United States

SHARP ADVANCE IN COTTON MARKET Old Crop Prices Go Higher
 Than the New Crop CLOSE IS AT THE HIGHEST Opening Is Lower, but Market Gathers Strength on Support from Wall
 Wall Street and Prices
 Make Gains.
CLOSE IS AT THE HIGHEST

New York, July 27.-The strength of the old crop months was the feature in an otherwise dull and uninteresting cot ton market today, the close being steady at a net advance of 21 to F points on the near months, while later months were only to points net hifher. Sales were estimated at 75000 bales.
 The market opened steady at a decline of points to an advance of 1 point, the gain being only l point, as a result of covering. while other deliveries were lower and the general list sold off to net loss of to points during the early session, ing to lower cables, good weather and bearish, crop adviees. The decline was checked by support from the Wall street bull clique in the ab- sence of aggressive bear pressure and during the afternoon the strength of Au- gust became the chief speculative fea- ture. That position sold up to STA or 35 points net higher, and closed at 9.75 bid. This was a sustaining factor with refer enee to the later months, which, how ever, responded only slightly to the old crop strength and general business was inactive. The close was at practically the best point. Next Friday will be the first notice day on August in the local market, as well as government condition report day, and the demand for August consequently suggests that the local bulls intend to secure control of the local
 stock as a step toward a squeeze of De- tober contracts. Crop reports published during the day were generally favorable and new crop cotton is moving more | rapidly in the southwest. Southern spot markets officially reported here were un-
 changed to 3-16c lower, the southwest being relatively easy.
 Estimated receipts at the ports today 4746 bales, against 2666 bales last week
 and 1924 last year. For the week 25,O0O
 bales, against SS, 16O last week and 10,245 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans 26OS bales, against 29l last year, and at Hous- ton HOS bales, against 3S2 last year.
