ACTION OF STOCKS
SHOWS CONFIDENCE

New York. October s.-The action OF
the securities market last week was
read as an expression of growing conf
dence in the speculation, but under
some restraint, especially from the
disposition of waiting holders to real
lie by selling at advances. The stock
market broadened appreciably with the
entry OF organized parties into the
speculation to conduct a comprehen-
slVe campaign for an advance. Opera
lions by market pools in special stocks
here and there also showed their eff
fects. These concerted operations en-
countered realizing sales of kind
which induced the conviction that the
efforts to stimulate an active specula-
ton at this time We're being trowned
upon by influential financial and bank
Ing authorities. The appearance or
antagonism to a large movement for
an advance was explained by the de-
manos upon the money market yet to
be met
The Initiation Of. larger operations
by speculative parties was encouraged
by the signs OF progress IN the recu-
peration of capital resources. The
comparative case with which the Oc-
tooer settlements We're effected, and
the slight impression made on the New
York money market was accepted as
proof that the preparation for the
autumn strain had been so complete
that the need had been met There

COTTON NOW HIGHER
THAN FOR 80 YEARS
Past Week Most Active on Exchange Since
Early Summer-Bullish Sentiment Running
High--backed by Government Report

OF late there has been tendency In
! some quarters to accept the smaller
/ crop estimates of some of the experts
| which run as low as 100000 to H.
/ 25O,00U bales. AT many points In thu
| South, the belief prevails that these

prices.
southern Spot Markets.
The Southern spot markets have
gone up about L. cent this week, with
prices at New Orleans and Augusta and
Little Rock up about SIS. They now
range between Is ga to Ia cents
for middlins cotton. This is nearly us
much of rise as has occurred in flu
lures the past week. The way they
have responded has been a matter of
surprise, The idea prevailed rather
generally up to the close of last week
that there would be heavy increase in
the movement from plantations, and
that this would weigh heavily on the
spot markets Receipts on the planta-
nun movement lHLo SlSul lUT AliiS past
week have not shown the increase ex-
pected. Some think this is partly due
to the lateness of the season in por-
tions of the Atls2tio and Gulf States,
and partly through the 15-cent pre-
6ictions Of the bulls and the active
speculative buying in options on the
contract markets, inducing many plant
ers and factors to hold back the crop
Whether either of these contentious
Is right, is Just now much debated
question. The fact that prices now
prevailing are the highest for so early
in the season IN the last thirty years
would seem to be a great incentive
to the rapid ginning and marketing Of
the crop. The next week or two may
determine the real cause of the fail
tire of the amount of the crop brought
into sight his week to exceed the
earlier predictions Of over 100000
bales.
Position of Foreign spinners.
The definite settlement of the much
discussed labor trouble in the mills
at Lancashire was the feature of the
news canle1 from Manchester and
Liverpool accounting for the strength
of those markets. With this matter out
of the way and little disturbance ex-
rected to European trade from the
Portuguese revolution. foreign spinners
are expected to continue large buyers,
ewing to the gradual forced abandon
lnent of he crop estimates of over 49,
100000 bales held abroad for the
smaller crop estimates now current
here. The cotton bill of lading dispute.
however, continues unsettled, and this
may upset these calculations unless
the matter is soon satisfactorily ad
iusted. 1t is pointed out, however,
that spinners stocks OF spot cotton
abroad are much lighter than for the
last several years and they must sooner
or later be largely replenished

NEGRO INSTANTLY KILLED.
Man Shot Down Answers Description
of Alleged RObber.

Special to The Times Dispatch.]
Danville. Va, October 9.--The neigh
borhood between Ruftin and Pelham. N.
c., about twelve miles south OF this
city, was thrown into a state Of great
excitement yesterday afternoon when
an unknown negro. charged with rob-.
berry, was shot and instantly killed. as
he was coming out of barn.
For the past week the neighborhood
had been terrorized by man, who, on
each night. entered the homes of we'll
known farmers and robbed them. AS
the thefts in the dead of night be-
came SO frequent, the farmers took
matters in their own hands. and a large
party started out to hunt for the negro.
A negro answering to the description
OF the robber, 1t was learned, was In
hiding in a barn near Ruft1n, and when
he saw the men approaching. it is al
legged. reached into his pocket as if
to draw his pistol, but was shot by
one Of the party, dying instantly. The
Negroes body|was taken to Reidsville.

New York, October 9.--The pas
week has been the most active on thu
Cotton Exchange since early in tho
summer, or during the previous big
bull movement in the closing days oil
last December. Bullish sentiment, SUP
ported by the governments report, in
dicating less than 1900, 900 bales, has
been running high, with more out
side buying than has been notice
nble for long time. Prices have adj
vanced rapidly on this and the forced
covering OF shorts in connection with
the continued activity of the leaders
in the bull movement. AT various
times during the week 1t looked as
though the market was in position
to react sharply. Many professional
traders were, accordingly. induced
or TO put out fresh lines of shorts in
anticipation of break.
But when these reactionary moye-
ments failed to materialize, these lines
of cotton were bought back the fol-
lowing day. The market was most
active and strongest yesterday. Prices
then advanced 26 to SO points over
the previous days closing, and ended
firm, at about the top, a Ia 3-S to
ii "a cents for all deliveries from the
present month to next May.
The maximum advance from the
closing prices of Saturday, October ],
to the highest of Friday afternoon
ranges from 81 TO rs points for the
general option list. This makes
total rise of 112 points for October
to 100 and $50 for the later months
in the last fortnight. October went
as high as 14.54 yesterday December
touched 14.49, March 1454, and May
14,S2 These are the highest prices
reached so early in the month of Oc-
!tober. only a month after the open
ing of the new crop year, in the last
many in the trade believe the ad-
vance too rapid to hold at such high
level Short selling on this line of
reasoning, and also because of knowl-
edge of the Improbable position of
many spinners and the belief that the
recent crop damage reports have been
eXaggerating conditions, has recently

traders and other operators

zeal of the short interest has been
covered during the sharp advance and
heavy general buying movement of the
last three days. Consequently, MAN.
experienced brokers and floor traders

position has become sufficiently un-
favorable to precipitate a reaction. On
the other hand. it is commended that

thorized by facts, as they are here, he

them to fix their own per diem. But
what most object to is to have been
selected out of many officialT, and
taken and offered up as a political
sacrifice to appease the burning de-
sire of Mort L. Bixler, ct al to carry
the election for his pet scheme of
so-called commission form of govern
ment.
In Mr. Bixler's article in last Fri
days News, you doubtless noticed
that after attempting to show the peo-
pie that the Tax Collector has grown
almost rich at the expense of the
city tax payers, he actually suggests
in a manner so as to leave the impress
sion that the City Tax Collector will
in addition to his salary this year get
something out of the now proposed
bond issue of $4,000.
Now, how this wise man of the
West" could have the cheek to try to
palm such rot OF on the voters of
this city is more than I can under
stand. He certainly must think they
are bunch OF suckers The fact
is, he knew better; he knew full well
that the Tax Collector has nothing
whatever to do with any bond issue.
The City Tax Collector is opposed to
the bond issue In question. and had
signed a petition against the same
before the ABOVE mentioned article
was written.
Now, in conclusion, I want to say
that this man who signs his name
Mort l.. Bixler, and who as | am told,
was in the editorial chair for a few
days during your obsence in New Or
leans, has done this city a great injus-
tice when he stated in several para
graphs few days ago that the city
was almost bankrupt" was about to
become bankrupt" and similar state
ments, which statements are abso-
lutely false and not justified by the
facts.
Mr.. A. Farley, City Clerk, tells me
that the city is in as good shape
financially as it has been at any time,
for number of years. Mr. Cameron
and Mr.. Mckenzie, aldermen, tell me
about the same thing. Such irration-
al statements by Mr.. Bixler. he being
secretary of the Commercial Club of
this city, are not calculated to do
