Ilreolutioua Fanned to Curtail fL ment and Prtcea Secret Semloa " HeldAn, ' Accurate ; Summary of '' Situation. - " . .v Although the hard yarn aplnnera, ho met In this city yesterday., de cided not to give out anything to the : public as to what was done at their 'meeting in the Southern Manufactur i ' 'jbts Club, It was learned last night that a virtual agreement waa reached to shut down all plant for a period i of 40 day a, at the end of which time I another, meeting will he held to con .. '.der the altuatlon and decide whether or. act a further suspension la neces . aarf. it waa ascertained at the meet . lng that more than half of the spln ; 1 dies represented had been standing Idla for the past CO daya and In many - eases for - daya, The- meeting - is said to have been harmonious and en- thuBlaatic. ,- The action taken waa very much in line with the recommenda t tlon of the executive committee of the Cotton Manufacturers' Association oi North Carolina, jrhich met In thla eitv last Friday 'week. Resolutions were drafted and approved, not only -- relative to curtailment, but also aa to the, pricea of yarns, which will be kept ' secret for a while. The meeting was largely attended, approximately 1.- 600.000 spindles being repreaented, The attendance waa not" confined to the members of the Southern , Hard -Tarn SDlnnera' Association, but to hard yarn aplnnera of a'l classes. Should the mills represented In yesterday's meeting close down abso lutely for an Indefinite period the thousands arid tena of thousands of oneratlves will be thrown out of em niovment and doubtless many of them "will be at a loss what to do. It will - result in hardship not only to the op eratlves, but to the business interests as well The hurt will prove almost incalculable, direct as we'l as lndl- - rect. ; The following from The New Tork Commercial of Thursday, which an tiotpated the meeting yesterday, very accurately sises up the situation from the Northern point of view: 'Cotton yarn .merchants in this, city are very skeptical, over the outcome of the meeting of the Hard Tarn Spinners' Association at Charlotte to morrow. It is hoped, however, that matters have now reached such a nolnt that spinners will realise that it is Impossible to continue running their plants. end expect to get any profits out of the prices obtainable on yarns. Nothing but a complete shut down of all yarn plants until Septem ber will. In the opinion of conservative merchants, help to clean up the large surplus stocks that have accumulated. " and place the market on a fair price level. . "The curtailment plans adopted eome time ago by spinners would, had. they been strictly adhered to, have served to keep the market on a , " high level, and prevented stocks from accumulating to the extent now tn evidence. Selling agents' in this market further claim that -While many promises of curtailment were! made, few of the spinners uvea up u them. As a result of this they are not sanguine that anything but prom ises will come out of the meeting to morrow. It is not a pleasant matter to' (contemplate, they say, but at the same time it la .tetter to cloae down for a few months than to have to shut down later on for an indefinite period. "Pricea on almost all counts con tinue to sag in this market,. and there is very little business of any sort mov ing. Constant price changes and Ir regular quotations make the buyer very cautious in operating. Some small orders are being placed from day to day. but the demand is re stricted to a hand-to-mouth charac ter, and is likely to continue ao until prices reach a firmer basis. The slump in: cotton has by no means helped - matters, and although yarn prices have been for some time below the parity of raw cotton, buyers are de manding further concessions when talking 'business. Stocks continue to accumulate, and the pressure to sell Is becoming greater every week.' FINANCING THE COTTON CHOP. Some Suggestion! In the Interest of Better Marketing anp lonaequeniiy .Better price. Wall Street Journal. The cotton crop deserves to be bet- tee financed.. - improvements have been mud in seed soleotVon, in meth ods, of cultivation, and even in the methods of omrmerchxl handling; but la the financing, of cotton, in which everybody 4s concerned who has any-thin- to do with it from .farming to foreign exports, we are far from mak ing the most out of our opportunt tlea. H Is a well-known fact that by far the tTeater proportion of the cotton yield is marketed within the first four months of the crop year, or tne list - tour ' months of the calendar year. Here ia a commodity with a tots t value of from $500,000,000 to $50,000,000. without which the unit ed States lit Its foreign -trade- would ; hate a balance against itself. Yet on account of defective financing cot ton' Is thrown upon fhe market t In such a way-M to make oversupply . inevitable. This depresses prices to ' the' producer, reduces his purchasing , power, and gives to foreign buyers all the' advantages of the reduced price resulting from the practice of con gested marketing within a shorty pe- rlod after the crop la jatheredTT-Jj iJI ' There ia no, good reason, under ex isting conditions of the supply, of funds, ,why the American cotton trade ' and. industry should play perpetually , into the hands of the. foreign fcuyers. The foreigner purchases over CO per . cent, of American cotton and pays - on- the average, of. $400,000,000 for it-"". Our system of marketing favors him more, than H does ourselves, end the only reason for -continuing this practice hithe want of sufflclent cred- , Its. to substitute slower method of rrmrketlng cottoe whereby It may be , disposed of Jn twelve months, instead of four or five. : - How can this be ToneT Judse En gene Williams, of Waco,.

But the banking resources of the cotton belt. in view of the numerous demands up on them for a. rapidly- developing sec tlon of the country, needs th co -op eration of outside financing. - Now it borrows from 1 the outside fully $100,000,000 in a single season. At present the foreign capital Is actually carry! njr th crop by early purchase. which it la enabled -to make through the urgency of early sales. Why should not such a prospect appeal to the ' financing world as a field not only for a profitable employ ment of funds, but also as a means of materially Increasing the purchasing; power of our cotton exports 7 Slow er marketing would also be of great advantage Co the. rail roods. GOLD EXPORTS BEGUN. Engagement of $1,000,000 Wednes day, first m.new-iorit in ten Mouths, . , Evening Post, 16th. . . , The National City Bank engaged f 1,000.000 In gold to-day for export Lto Parle the natural outcome of a runner- advance in foreign exenange rates here to 4.17 1-4, and "a decline In sterling . at Paula, which ; .made it prontaois to snip goia. This was the first engagement of gold for shipment to Europe with the exception of one special irani-uc-tlon of $1,500,000 in October, sin. o last August. Since that tlmo 1106, 000.000 has been Imported from Eu rope. It waa admitted on all sldfK that g.i.l. would probably go out in some uuuxilty next week, as Germany w.is actively -bidding ,-r geld. here. The German Bank offered a fortaijflu",; In terest free; and German bankers ar ra ,ed to Import, the metal hy way of PaiU. U was said, howfver, that to-day's engagement was locotlatci on lh-j uifinary xchanr Litis la. withiut U aid of any "facilities." and that so far as the bankers here knew, the gold was going to Paris, and would be held there. - The opinion prevailed this afternoon that we might send from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000 a week for some time to come, and tnat w movement might reach much larger proportions - if European markets should be at all anxious to bid far the gold here. A report waa current that Secretary Oortelyou anight call on the banks to surrender another $S5, 000,000 of gov ernment money, as a check to the gold-export movement, should the foreign demand become at all heavy. No such demand was made, however, but bankers look for , a treasury an nouncement. .very soon. . ' Borne authorities predicted to-day that we would send at least $35,000.- 000 on this movement, while othem thought that It mlaht reach $50,0000, 000. DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW, , Easter Trade Accelerated Retail Dis tribution of Merchandise, But There la No Evidence of IncreaNcd Activ ity in Preparailc-n For Future Busl uesN. - New Tork. April 17. It. O. Dunn A Co. 'a weekly review of trade to morrow will say: . Easter trade and generally favor able weather accelerated retail- distri bution of merchandise, but there is no evidence of Increased activity in preparation for future business, nor are manufacturers disposed to oper ate more extensively. In fact some net curtailment of output is noted, and more reductions In wages have oc curred, particularly at textile plants. There la an Increased .demand for farm hands, and some disputed wage scale have signed, but little change can- be discerned in the total number of unemployed. Postponed structural work, is started very slowly. Primary markets for textiles are in better financial condition because more bills are being discounted, but Jobbers are doing a limited business and re ports from road men are not gratify ing.. -The chief drawback in the cot ton situation is the question of con cessions being granted so readily that purchases are naturally confined to immediate needs. Negotiations for cotton goods -that were neartng con summation have been dropped be cause of the further severe fall In prices of raw material. There la no encouragement in the outlook for ex port trade in the near future. Aa to woolens, the demands for certain de scrlptlons of men's - wear continue gratifying but duplicate orders for fall goods still await results from cloth lers salesmen on the road..

Correipondence of The Observer, Wentworth, April 16. The Demo, rratlc executive committee of Rock ingham has been called to meet here Saturday, April 18th, for the purpose of naming; the date for the county convention. Mr. Francis Womack, of Kridavllle, is the efficient chair man of the committee. The dispatch, under a Reldavllle date line, which appeared tn one of the Btate papers yesterday saying: "Brooks will receive one-third of the county (Rockingham) over all candi dates," was certainly Intended as a "bluff." There are 82 votes In the county convention. Keidsvllle town ship, where Brooks' strength la largely confined, has only it votes in the convention, and If Brooks re ceives the entire 17 votes of the townnhip. which he certainly will not do, he would not' have quite one fifth of the county, being much less than one-half, which was formerly claimed by his i.upportera at Relda vllle. Governor Glenn's friends here ex press themaelvea as being greatly disappointed that he will not be In the senatorial race. Last Tuesday afternoon Mr. Jamea Williams, of this place, waa riding to Retdsvllle horseback when he met an automobile. His horse became badly frightened, reared and plunged and fell backward, breaking its back, and died In a short time. Thla la a great loss to Mr, Williams, as he la a poor man. The name of the owner of the machine could not be learned. The work of macadamizing the road two miles west of Wentworth, which the bad weather stopped, has commenced again In earnest. About forty convicts, thirty-two mules and all the necessary latest Improved ma chinery have been put in use. SI'B-BTATION 18 OPEXED. 3Ir. C. K.
