Army Officer, Looking After
Flood Sufferers, Finds a Won
derful Country.

Fayetteville Observer, 18th.
Maj. J. H. McKenney, U. S.
A., stationed at Fort Caswell,
spent yesterday in this city, un-
der orders from the War De-
partment, at Washington, in
vestigating the condition of the
flooded district, with view to
rendering aid.
Maj. McKenney had just come
from Pender and Bladen coun-
ties, where he distributed seed
corn, etc., to the farmers asking
for it.
He said he had only $4,000
available for this purpose. He
found the conditions in Cumber-
land not near so bad as he ex-
pected, in fact could find only
one man, who it was said needed d
aid. He said we Cumberlanders,
either did not need out side aid,
or else we were proud people.
He purchased several hundred
bushels of seed corn, and left it
for distribution at Dunn, where
he went yesterday to consult
with Congressman Goodwin.
1t is certainly very gratifying
to learn that d ospite the damage
wrought by the flood, the people
in the Cape Fear valley were
able to take care Of themselves,
and recuperate SO quickly. Il
will be remembered that a large
sum Of rloney was subscribed ir
Fayetteville for the flood suffer.
ers and that so few OF them ask
ed or appeared to need aid, tha-
eighty per cent. of the money
was refunded to the subscrib
ers. It is indeed a wonderful
county.

RECOVERY OF PRICES.
DisorderIy Liquidation chected-Bet-
ter Feeling Over Steel Trade Out
look,

New York, Feb. 24.-There came a
check today to the disorderly liquida-
ton which was rushing the market
into q state of entire decentralization.
The perception that the course Of yes
terday's market it continued, would
lead to that result prompted some
measures Of effective support today.
the large short interest which has
grown rapidly with the swift fall IN
prices for a week past were prompted
to reduce their short lines with the
signs Of greater stability in the mar
ket. This demand was a potent in
flusIce in the recovery Of prices. That
recovery was some time in shaping it,
self definitely and exhibited occasional
hesitations which seemed to indicate a
lack Of strong conviction on the part
of buyers. The hquidations obviously
had spent much Of its force. The buy
ing demand, however, was languid.
After periods Of dullness the traders
tested the market by advancing bids.
This process wGs repeated many times
with apparent disbursement when
the increased volume of selling on the
advances was perceived. Each time,
however, that prices were allowed to
slip back the activity diminished. The
undertOne Of the market. therefore,
was firm, though not aggressive. This
was after an early Period Oh great tur-
mOll Wnen II seemed AZ unsettled
question whether the downward plunge
OF yesterday violent resound sub
stituted. A sharp relapse in London
from a former advance coming just
before the New York market opened,
had much TO do with the feverish
fluctuations Of the forenoon market
The recovery owed much to sober
view of some of the considerations
which figured in the weakness Of yes
terday. Reports yesterday that the
supreme court had decided against
the anthracite roads in the conmodi-
ties clause cases were disproved toay
This accounted for the leadership as
sumed by Reading in the recovery.
There was a better feeling also over
the steel trade outlook and growth
of confidence that the price conces-
sions on steel products were a prelim
mary to revival in the trade. With
The recovering tendency once definite
D. shaped, the requirements Of the
large uncovered bear interest must be
looked to for explanation of the ex-
tent to which the rally ran. Last
prices were dearer than yesterday to
