BEARS IN CONTROL
 COTTON PRICES General Public Is Refraining
 From Buying Now BIG ACREAGE IN SIGHT Receipts at Ports and Interior Towns Are Small Which Aided By Good
 General Trade Ought to
 Keep Prices Up

New York, February 1S.-The apparent impossibility of inducing the general pub lie to take hold of cotton and the per- sistence of American spinners in the pol icy of buying from hand to mouth suf- ficiently account for the decline of rough ly $1 to s2 bale.
 The greatest weakness has been in this crop. The May premium over July has suffered a sharp setback It is only about one-fifth what it was recently.
 Coincident with local irregularity and weakness in the stock market Wall street has sold cotton to some extent. New Orleans prices have been noticeably weak at times. The effect in New York has been very apparent.
 Important Texas operators are said to have been among the sellers. The re- ports from Texas as to crop prepara- tions have, to say the least, not been of a kind to stimulate prices. Yarns have been dull and more or less de- pressed.
 Some favorable reports in regard to the cotton goods trade are being received from various parts of the country but there are others of much less favorable kind. Neither manufacturers nor jobbers liked the recent violent fluctuation in prices of raw material.
 The soil of Texas seems to have been benefited to some extent by rains, sleet and snow The impression increases that the next acreage will be very large.
 Meantime the receipts at the ports and the interior towns are small and the statistical position is in some influential quarters regarded as strong. On declines Wall street and other houses have bought. General trade is in favorable condition
 Fall river has been lately more active and stocks have been held strongly and are decreasing. English supplies are also decreasing rather rapidly. Recently the East India crop estimates have been re- duced.~
 Bulls argue that though speculation may be sluggish now and spinners may defer purchases, yet later on the facts of supply and demand will inevitably bring about higher prices. However this may be, the speculative world is for the moment, at least, it is stated, Is in a more or less pessimistic mood in regard to cotton and the possibility of advanc- ing the market materially in the imme- diate future.

Some Census Figures.


Charles B. Adams, census enumerator

ished the stunt Saturday although the
time limit does not expire until the 18th.
G. |. Boyden, enumerator for the town,
will complete his work within the re-
quired period but without quite so much
time to spare. From now until the re-
turns are announced there will be fine
opportunity to exercise the guessing

BILE gain or loss in population, which, for
the town varied as follows in the last four
observation-disclosures, 1SS0-2910,
1s90-3232, 190O--314l.
AT the first census OF all, that OF 1890,
Randolph was found to have a population
of 500, which in 1880 had increased to
2743. The census of 1900 numbered 1910
people in this village and II at least 1900
have not been found here now another
count should be demanded.
But 65 towns in the state showed an
increase in population from the census Of
1880 to that OF 1900 and most of the in
crease was found in the twelve larger
towns and cities. The remaining $50
towns had suffered a decided loss OF in
habitants. Orange county had S102 few
err people in 1900 than in 1880, only two
OF its towns, Randolph and Williams

two numbered but 521 more. A COMPARE
