PRICE CHANGES ON
 WALL STREET OF AN
 UNCERTAIN NATURE
General Motors and Kindred Stocks Were In the Fore ground With Equip
 ments and TObaccos
By Associated , Press

New York, March 2S.-Trading on the
 Ftock Exchange today was marked by
 intervals of dullness and uncertain price
 thsnges, affording a<striking contrast to
 he feverish activity and irregulariy higher levels of the previous session. General Motors was again the star per- Formerf rising from it's early low of S7l
 To 401 in the final hour, and closing within ifasy range of it's maximum at net gain
 pf 26 points. Stutz Motor rose 20 points 10 the new high record of 245, and Cru- bible Steel and Baldwin Locomotive at iRdvances of 5 and 2 points, respectively, RPomprised the other most active and EBtrong features.
 K Occasional strength was displayed by Pther motors and allied specialties, also Equipments, tobaccos and miscellaneous shares, but this was neutralized by pres sure against cils, coppers, feathers and minor issues of no especial description. Considerable criticism was levelled Hagainst the further operations of pools in the more speculative shares. This Feeling, together with the unset>ed state Hbf foreign exchange, combined to en- Courage selling pressure.
 British ren1ittances were steady to firm, Ebut French and Italian rates weakened
 fhe<latter falling to greater point of Depreciation than in the violent decline |bf last month.
 K The money market was not visibly dis
 urbed despite heavy withdrawals of gov |ernment deposits. Call money opened at
 Y per cent, and most of the days loans were made at that figure, although 8 per [cent was quoted later.
 Some of the Liberty issues were in- tlined to ease, but the general bond mar |xet, including standard rails and indus
 trials, was steady at nominal changes. [rotal sales, par value, s14225,oo0. Unitea States bonds unchanged on call.

The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops

and cuts down costs by investment in
labor saving machinery
Good prices for the farmers crops en-.
courage new investment, more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads-the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the world markets
The railroads-like the farms-increase
their output and cut down unit costs bv
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do
the railroads are able to attract new cap;tal
for expanding their facilities
Rates high enough to yield fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results In poorer service at higher cost
National wealth can increase ONLY aS our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at anv
price. No growing country can long pav
the price of inadequate Transportation
facilities.

WEEEILS EVERYWHERE.
All Top Crop Destroyed and Most of
Staple Now Open.

There is no denying the fact that
the cotton planters of Bamberg coun-
ty are blue over the boil weevih sit
uation. The top crop is a complete
failure, they say, and they make the
further statement that cotton bloom
can scarcely be found in the county,
whereas fusually at this season OF
the year the tops of the cotton plants
are white with blooms. 1t appears
to an observer who does not pretend
to know that small cotton this year
will make a much better showing than
the larger cotton. Most of the me-
dunn lands this year nave cotton
which is we'll fruited, while the lar
ger cotton, which natures fruit later.
is very poorly fruited, due to boil
weevil devastation, and will produce
yields nothing like normal.

Statement by Governor Cooper.

With regard to the discharge of
w. D. Mayfeld, H. B. Sandifer and
James Breedin by Judge W. H. Town
send, Governor Cooper has issued the
following statement:
''The order of Judge Townsend as
published in the State Sunday does
not state fully the proceedings had
before me. The order leaves the i'm
preston that l had acted in the mat
ter after the hearing had comemnced
before the judge. The facts are as
follows:
when the writ of habeas corpus
was granted l was advised by the at
torney generals Office that the defect
complained of in the requisition sent
me by the governor of North Carolina
was fatal, and that the petitioners
would be entitled to discharge before
Judge Townsend. On Saturday morn
ing about 1890 o'clock Solicitor w.
E. Brock, of North Carolina, repre-
senting that state, and the assistant
attorney general, Mr.. Lumpkin, ap-
peared before me, and filed a written
petition asking that I revoke my
mandate directing that the petition
ers be delivered to the authorities of
North Carolina. This I did about 12
o'clock on Saturday morning in a
formal order By my direction Judge
Townsend was notified of my action
about 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon,
two hours prior to the time fixed for
a hearing before me. AS soon as l
could see Sheriff Sanders, who had
the parties in custody, I informed
him of my action, instructing him to
release the men, and they were actu-
ally at liberty when Judge Town
sends order was made It is proper
also to state that at the first hearing
before me in this case l called atten-
ton of attorneys representing May
field and others to the fact that the
warrant from North Carolina on
which requisition was based was not
supported by affidavit. They stated
that they did not care to raise that
question; that they wanted me 20
hear the case On its merits. | natur-
ally assumed that this defect was
waived, and proceeded with the hear
ing on the merits.
Iregret very much the necessity of
having to make a statement that has
even the appearance of criticising the
action of a member of the judicial de-
partment of the government, but in
justice to myself, since it does not
otherwise appear in the record, and
since my order was not published IN
any of the papers though it was given
to press representative two hours be-
fore the hearing before Judge Town
send, I feel that the whole facts
shouly be known
