By Private Wire to F. B. Alexander, Man
ager. COTTON.
New York. Dee. 11 Liverpool did not
show such oagcrnssa to follow the strength
exhibited here on Snturday. advancing
first only 8 points, which were promptly
lost. Buying orders from this side, how
ever, (rave that market a new Impulse
nnd closed It 3 to 4 points higher than
Saturday. There was considerable impport
here from an element hitherto bearish ajn 1
throughout the morning prices were quite
steady. Telegrams were received report
ing considerable spot demand and a gen
oral absence ot pressure to sell. Outsido
interest, howevel, was light and towards
the end of the day prices gradually eased
off and closed 2 to S points lower than
Saturday. Liverpool seems to be the weak
element Just now. Just as It was the
strongest factor for many months past.
This is easily understood, since Mane.ln;n
ter is generally reported to have contract
ed for at least 80 per cent, of its full year's
needs at prices well above 9 cents. One
festura. which Is not encouraging to the
maintenance of higher prices, 1 the llh--r.il
stocks everywhere. The market here 1
being held 'ip by a certain element whi'h
lias been conspicuous on the betir side, nnd
which still talks of 7 cents for January in
he near futuro. Liverpool Is due to coma
1 to 2 points lower In the morning.
COFFER.
New Tork. Deo 12. European markets
maintained the advance established thin
morning. Here prices improved S to 10
points oarly, and continued steady
throughout the day. Receipts from Brazil
are at last beginning, to snow the falling
off so long looked for, and as time goes
on. this feature promises to become more
pi eminent- . Strolls', parties, have been frco
buyers without any attempt to force up
prices. In fact It seems to us their rollcy
to prevent a runaway market. Europe lias
1-eenme uneasy. Owing to the compara
tively small proportion of the supply, both
visible and Invisible, , held on the other
Fide and the growing belief that only a
mull portion of the Brasil crop remains
yet to pa marketed,

Spencer.
Special to The Observer.
Spencer, Dec. 12. Mr. Tlios. H. Btew-
art, one of the foremen on the South
ern Railway wrecking crew which is
operated from Spencer, waa severely In
jured at Third creek bridge on the
Western North Carolina Railroad Fri
day night In consequence ot which he
la now confined to his home here. It
Is learned that the trucks under one of
the cars in the wrecking train became
derailed and In order to save himself
Mr. Stewart jumped from the derrick
on which ne was riding ana it is
thought struck against the iron work
of the bridge which the train was ap
proaching at a 'speed of about 30 miles
per hour. The worst injuries are about
the head, face and arms, but these aie
thought to be only temporary. Though
one of the trucks was olt the track the
train crossed the bridge without further
derailment.
William Brown, colored, of Salisbury,
was run over and fatally Injured by No.
73. a south-bound freight, at this place
yesterday afternoon just as the train
was pulling out of the Southern yards.
It Is believed the man attempted to
secrete himself under one of the mov
ing cars and fell under the wheels. In
a half-dead condition his body was car
ried to the Whltehead-Stokes Sanita
rium in Salisbury where he died later
In the night.
Mr. J. Thurman Molt, one of the best
known firemen of Spencer, was painful
ly bruised and otherwise Injured Satur
day night by having one of his arms
caught In some of the machinery of an
engine. Ha waa taken td his home,
where medical attention was given and
it is thought will soon recover;
Unknown thieves entered the store
of Mr. J. M. Surratt, of Spencer, at a
late hour Saturday night and carried
away about 830 In cash besides a num
ber of other articles. There is no clue
to the guilty persons, though the offi
cers are on trail of a number of articles
of jewelry which were taken.
At a meeting of the board of alder
men of Spencer held Saturday night.
vjr. k. l. Bimpson was elected sanitary
officer with the powers of a police offi
cer. He will nave special charge of the
sanitary work of the town having en

of the rural districts during the warm days

made a prayer, closing with an appeal fur
rain, saying;
we need a refreshing shower. Lord.
Send the blessed rain and revive drooping
