The opening was steady at an advance
of -7 to points on extremely favorable
' - Liverpool cables. For a short time after
the opening the market held steady but
-'" 'toward tbe middle of the morning values
jrraduaUr eased ow unaer ihck 01 summit
until tbey were 10 and 11 points under the
highest levels of the morning, so far as
' the old i- positions were concerned.
" Throughout the morning telegrams telling
. of bad weather throughout the bolt pour

,i and toward noon some very bullish talk
V 1 waa heard about the spot demand. These
; two features and the fear of another
' ' bulge such as happened yesterday after

scalpers to buying, bringing out a suffi
ft dent volume of buying orders to put

higher than yesterday's closing, At 12:30

-Offerings of the more undesirable gradi
Of cotton were fullv as scarce ns were the
f , rholee grades. Buyera scoured the mur
ket and found, to ue the expression of
one spot man. "That If one or two lines
were taken off the market It would look
as If a tornado had struck it." It would
aeem that one spot man of advanced Ideal
has quietly bought up about everything
" tn the lower grades that has been put out
, on the sample tablea recently and this
morning when several buyers concluded
with lower grades were relatively cheap
when compared with tne nigner graaes
they found little for sale. The sudden
demand for the lower grades Immediately
caused sellers to Insist on higher priced
and toward noon It was generally said
that the higher grades were tip one
eighth and the lower S-1B when compared
with board prices. Up to n:30 o'clock
about 4,000 bales were traded In. This In.
dudes about l.aw bales or cotton to ar
rive. The basis of f. o. b. cotton wan
about 28 points on May for Liverpool good
middling.
Spinners' takings this week will com-
re witn zta.ouo oaies last year ana i.
I ha lei thia week In 1904. The eenernl
expectation seems to be that spinners
takings this week will hardly come up to
takings this week last year. The gen
eral trading public cannot seem to grasp
the idea that the spinners of the world
are taking more cotton this year than
they were last. This is probably due to
the fact that they gauge the world's tak.
Inge simply by the figures concerning
American cotton. The Chronicle says that
Up to March 3 the spinners of the world
took of all kinds of cotton 0.732.369 bales
against .620,J26 up to the same time lust
year. Thus they have taken so far this
season 212.133 bales more cotton than they
took during tbe corresponding time last
season.
Hubbard Bros. Co.'e Cotton Letter.
Special to The Observer.
New York, March M. Foreign advices
were better than expected, caused by the
covering of Liverpool local traders who
had taken the short side yesterday. At
our opening the covering by the Mny
. short Interest was again the feature ad
vancing that position to a premium of
from eight to ten points over July. On
the advance realizing for Southern ac
count together with local selling of July
against previous purchases of May
brought about a reaction. Beyond tills
liquidation of long cotton by the South
the market was without feature though
the heavy rains in the Mississippi valley
were expected to bring In buying orders.
At the moment there appears to be little
interest In cotton among the outsiders
who are waiting for new developments In
the new crop.

were leased for a period of five year

three more. Just what effect this may

Mr. Alice Smoot and Husband, Held

Coin, Live on Roaring River
Counterfeit Money In Evidence in

Correspondence of The Observer.
Wllkcsboro. March 2ft Mrs. Alice
Hmoot, the woman arrested in Greens-
lioro lat week on the charge of circulat
ing spurious coin, lives in this county.
Matt Pmett, her father, lives on Roaring
River, near Zebra, about 16 miles from
here. Mrs. Smoot was married about five
years ago to a young man from Missouri,
Orunvllle Smoot. They lived for some
time In Greensboro and Wlnston-Salcm,
where her husband worked at the car
penters' trade, building railroad bridges.
About three years ago they moved to
North Wllkenboro, where her husband
and R. M Waddell opened an art gal
lery, working as photographers. After en
gaging In the picture business for some
time It whs abandoned and Smoot and his
wife and young Wnddell located In th
country, near Zebra, where they have
since resided.
Young Smoot was arrested laat year on
the charge of retailing, and gave bond for
his appearance before United States Com.
mlssloner Dula, which bond was for
feited. Smoot has since evaded arrest by
remaining In hiding In this. Ashe, and
Alleghnny counties. It Is said that there
was little or no evidence against on the
charge of retailing, and his real cause
for evading trial and future arrest is the
fear of a more serious charge.
Spurious coin has been In circulation In
this county for several months, and a
number of merchants have had small
coins passed on them recently, and It is
genernlly believed that several are en.
gnged In the business.
Much sympathy Is expressed for the un
fortunate young woman, who Is connect
ed with some of the best families of this
county. She is not believed to be the real
perpetrator of the crime.
