May 25.—A rather less favorable view of some private crop ad vices with official predictions of light to heavy frosts In the moiV northern sec tions of most of the cotton states stimu lated further covering by tht scattered short interest under which t)tc prices improved, though rallies for the most part met fresh selling and prices eaAed as soon as demand from shorts showed signs of tapering off. As.practically the only source of "supply of ; contracts at prcfßut is speculative .Celling thr short account the effect of this scattered ( covering is merely to concentrate the ' short interest with a smaller group without affecting materially the net in terest on that side. It makes little difference wins her the selling orders come from Wall street or the south, the bulk of them are for speculative accounts : ,ud nraeticaily none at all against actual Cotton. There arc just as many peoplo in the cotton twit who are ready to go short of the market speculatively as there are any where else and at this time of year and with spots at huge premiums aetua! hedge selling hardly exists. There are still many who expect high official figures for the first report and who are hacking that idea in spite of the fact that early private reports while well above the ten-year average are by no mentis flattering.

Danish Explorer Looks For no Word iu 8 Days. Copenhagen. May 23.—Colonel Koch. Danish Arctic explorer who succeeded in crossing the inland ice of Greenland some years ago. believes that at least eight days must pass before hearing front the North pole expedition of Cap tain Roald Amundsen. Colonel Koch said today in discussing the lack of news from the expedition: “I take it for granted that Amundsen wilt not reach the polar point at the first attempt, even with the best navi gation- “Suppirwc he landed a short distance from tlje poo. When lie discovered his position 1 feel sure, knowing Amund son's’ character, lie would bp dissatis fied, -and would fly on. Probbaly even then he would not reach the exact, point vsjinit and would continue afoot until' he reached the pole. "I do not think it particularly dan gerous to land on the ice, which is flat and unbroken for stretches, Be might, of course, hit so-cnlled wind fallows, which would likely darned the planes. btif without endangering the lives of the fliers. "Amundsen is capable of many sur jprises and doing unexpected things; ■ therefore he may decide to laud at Alaska, instead of Spitsbergen.” OPINION DIVIDED ON NOTE ASKING RANSOM Sheriff Mitchell, of Buncombe County, Takes ia Seriously. Ask (5 000 For I »«*»• f Asheville, May 25.—Opinions were divided in official Circles here today over the authenticity of a note, signed by j “The Black Hand” found on the front porch of the residence of George Lindsey tin Fletcher Sunday morning, in wnfch | demand for (3,000 was made of Lindsey for the return of his daughter, Pansy i Lindsey, 14. missing since May 15. The | long delay ia demanding ransom money, j I crude signature and the fact that the j girl is known to have used the te ephone’ fjust before she left a department store •In Asheville, add to the argument that the note was the work of an interloper seeking to add sensation to the girl’s dis appraranee. Sheriff Mitchell of F.un cothbe county, however, takes the note seriously, but deplores the fact that Mr. Lindsey made the note public. The sheriff thinks the kidnappers might have been trapped had Lindsey entered into an agreement to deliver the money. The note said Lindsey wotild be told later where to place the money. PRISONERS MAY BE EMPLOYED ON tME STATE’S ROADS Chairman Page Confers With Governor McLean.—Save (25,000 a Month. Raleigh. May 25.—The State highway commission may help the State prison out of its difficulty in finding work for over 300 idle prisoners, by working them on road construction projects indepen dently of highway contractors. Governor McLean arid Chairman Frrink Page held a. conference this afternoon to consider ways and means of using the convicts. As a result, it is expected the commission will take over some con struction jobs itself, withholding them from contractu, and work the prisoners under the supervision of the 'comission’s own engineers. Sonic convicts are already being used by the commission on road work in Mad ison county. Good work has been got ten out of them. Road contractors, however, have been indisposed to use con vict labor, finding that they could get more work for the same cost from free labor. Unless the prison can find profitable employment for convicts now idle, it Will soon face a monthly operating loss of $25,000 or $36,000, Governor McLean said.
