THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

An Associated Press dispatch Of last
night summarized yesterdays de-
velopments in the speculative cotton
market as follows:
The cotton market had a sharp reac-
tion today and closed steady at a net
decline of to II points. Sales were
estimated at 100000 bales.
The market opened easy at decline
of to II points and at the lowest
level Of the day showed a net loss Of IA
to Is points on the active months un-
der liquidation by recent buyers, local
bear pressure, southern selling and a
withdrawal of the demand for winter
positions from the large trade inter-
ests who were notable buyers toward
the close of last week. The close was
a little up from the lowest on covering.
The declining tendency was promoted
by lower cables, the failure of yester-
days conference in Lancashire to re-
suit in progress toward a settlement of
the labor troubles, the big receipts and
the good weather over the weekend.
There was a little buying in the late
session on fear of unsettled weather in
the southwest as wires from Fort
Worth suggested the approach of a
"norther'' but there was no aggressive
Dull support anu SeIllineIll appear GU "
be more or less unsettled. Southern
spot markets officially reported were
unchanged to 1-Sc lower.
Receipts at the ports today 7O,796
bales against 57,176 last week and 55,-
S26 last year. For the week 100000
bales against 371.000 last week and
324,620 last year. Today's receipts at
New Orleans S.729 against 1O,365 last
year, and at Houston 1880 against
1864 last year.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

- The sewerage contractors are now
working on the bitches toward Fishing
creek.
Tomorrow Is show day, and the
probability is that there will be big
crowd.
Both the town and the Messrs.
Rose are appealing in the sewerage
right of way cases.
- Saturday continues the busiest days
of the week with the merchants. The
farmers are still in the midst Of the
work of gathering their crops, and they
are not coming into town in large num-
bers except on Saturdays.
1t is only the distressed cotton that
is being sold as a rule, and there Is
about as much cotton going into the
local warehouses as there Is going on
the local market. A few farmers nave
borrowed money on stored cotton; Dut
the borrowing is not at all general.
Local receipts are hardly up to the
figures of this date last year.
The published call for a congrega-
tional meeting in the Associate Re-
formed church last Sunday gave rise
to an impression that the object OF 1t
was to call a pastor. There was no
such purpose, however, the object Of
the meeting merely being to prepare
and approve reports to presbytery and
synod. The matter Of calling pastor
was mentioned in the meeting; but no
action was taken for the reason that
prevailing belief seemed to be that the
congregation Is not yet fully prepared
to act. A committee consisting OF
Elders ]. S. Brice, w. D. Glenn and
w. D. Grist was appointed to look af-
ter the matter of supplying the pulpit
from time to time; but with no special
authority or responsibility bearing upon
the matter Of securing a permanent

Taft, the candidate for the presidency,
and Douglas Robinson, a brother-in-
law Of President Roosevelt The $4O,-
OOO, 900 was sent abroad through the
banking house of ]. p. Morgan & Co.,
but the British lawyer is inclined to the
view that it speedily came back to
America. and if the men named did not
get it finally, it is sealed book as to
who did The only place the informa-
ton can be had is at the treasury de-
partment at Washington. OF course,
the president can give information II he
wants to. Some of the things that
make the whole matter especially in
teresting is the vigorous fight that the
president and others made against
Senator Morgan in switching the coun-
try from the Nicaragua route to the
Panama route, and the fact also that
Charles P. Taft is generally accredited
with having put up 100000 to finance
his brothers campaign. 1t may be, OF
course that there has been no wrong
in the matter; that everything has been
square and clean: but Of one thing
there can be no reasonable doubt and
that one thing is that the American
people have a right to know every SIN
gle detail of the canal transaction down
to the disposition of the last dollar
who got it and what for.

MORE CORN PRIZES.

The Enquirer wants the thirty best
ears of corn raised in the Farmers I'm
ion corn prize contest this year, and
it is willing to pay ten dollars for them.
Here is our offer:
To the competitor in the contest who
is able to deliver the ten best ears, we
will pay IS cash.
To the competitor who is able to de-
liver the ten second best ears, we will
pay SO cash.
To the competitor who is able to de-
liver the ten third best ears, we will
pay 50 cash.
The corn, Of course is to become the
property of The Enquirer.
The question as to which are the ten
best, second best and third best ears
submitted in the contest Is to be de-
cided by a committee of three to be
appointed by Mr.. ]. F. Ashe, president
of the York Councy Farmers Union.
The corn will be submitted to the
Judges at Yorkville at the first regular
meeting of the County Union at York
Vile, after the meeting at which the re-
suit of the prize acre contest shall have
been decided.
In making the above offers we have
in view the promotion Of seed selec-
ton plan, which will eventually inure
to the very practical advantage Of corn
production in this county. Just what
the plan is, it is not desirable to make
known at this time; but we feel safe In
promising that it will be very we'll CAL
culated to perpetuate the best seed de-
veloped in this contest and all con-
cerned may rest assured that our fu-
ture disposition of it will be solely with
that end in view.

A CITIZEN of Raleigh, N. c., the 9TH
er day, according to the Charlotte OBJ
server. saw a gang of pickpockets work
ing in a crowd and called the attention
of a police officer to them. The police
tried to arrest the pickpockets, but the
latter got away. Later the pockpock-
cts crowded around the man who had
informed on them, and beat him near
ly to death with sticks and brass
knucks. AS to whether the moral of
the story is that the informant should
have attended to his own business in
the first instance or that thieves may
be depended upon to uphold their
rights. is not quite clear.

THERE is nothing like the regard for
law and order in this country that
there should be. OF course, there are
plenty of good and true men who have
the highest respect for law, and among
them there are some who, if they should
inadvertently violate a law, would re-
port themselves. if there was no other
way of getting their consciences
straight But that is not the rule.
There are many who obey the law only
through fear of consequences. The
principal concern of these is the dan
ger of getting caught, and with them,
the worst feature of catching is expo
sure They have little fear of the pen
aties because they do not calculate
that the penalties will be enforced.
This is anything but a healthy condi-
tion-we would say healthy civil
condition; but the condition is not civ
il-and there is but one way to correct
it. Jurymen must be more keenly alive
to their duty. They have been showing
appreciation of this fact Of late, but
they must keep it up. Of course, it
will never do to convict an innocent
man. 1t is true that it is better for
ten guilty men to escape than that one
innocent man should be punished; but
it must not be forgotten that it is a
rather uncommon thing for an innocent
man to be accused. And the jury that
allows a guilty man to escape, knowing
him to be guilty, does almost as much
harm as the jury that convicts an in
nocent man. There is only one sure
way of establishing the supremacy of
the law in this country and that is by
intelligent and fearless work in the
jury room.
