OOTTOX'S SERIOUS DECLINE. Cause Attributed to the Work of Pow erf nl Sneicujatore. Correnpondence of The Observer. Greensboro, Aug. 22. Ths market nas suffered a serious decline this week and cotton Is In abundant supply from the new crop. ' The cause of this break Is that certain powerful speculators had accumulated large line ot futures, generally estimated at one-halt millon or mors bales in tha future market based on the hopes of be ing sble to sell st a large profit oa un favorable crop news. ' The unfavorable crop news has not come and mills are finding little encouragement to buy because trade conditions are bad and the demand for oottdn yarns and goods shows no signs of Improving. These speculators have therefore given up the Job as a bad one and have resold a part at least of their holdings. As a matter, of fact there has been ne sound basis for bulling cotton for sev eral months. Cotton Is about a cent down In the past ten days and thla decline discounts some what the bearish surroundings. Cotton seems doomed to sell much lower betwixt now and next spring but there will be frequent rallies from time to time and as a matter ot fact the crop is not entirely removed from damage and there may be yet another chapter. Crop accounts here after may be expected to show a much less brilliant prospect than is indicated at present. . Prosperity and geed times are reported from the .West and why should they not be prosperous T At the price they are charging their best customer, "the South" for corn and meat, they can afford to be extravagant live in luxury and grow presidential tim ber bf all sizes. J. E. LATHAM, FINANCIAL REVIEW. Changes In the general financial situa tion last week were hardly noteworthy. On the stock exchange the dally trading ok strongly .of the usual midsummer haracter, prices rising and falling with a narrow range. Early In the week the list became unsettled under the In fluence of the manifestoes e fa New Eng land operator and from start to finish the market's undertone was distinctly Ir regular. The week was not without Its favorable developments, foremost blng tne marked Improvement reported in crops. Another gratifying feature was the government's report on the country's foreign, commerce In 4uly which showed reduction of 8S8.000.000 or 30 per cent. In imports and a falling off of 3267.0QO.00O for the seven months of the calendar year. This enormous contraction of imports, with an excess of exports for the same period of 1179,000,000 gives promise of a highly' favorable foreign trade balance. Money ha piled up here during the past week chiefly from the Interior and tlmi as wel) as call accommodations - show noticeable ease. Easily the most promi nent feature of the week In stocks was the activity and strength, of the Harrl man Issues. A new high record was msde by Southern Pacific during the week with talk bf readjustment of thecompany's se curities.'; The weakness 'of the Rock Island-Frisco group was so pronounced as to cause some uneasiness. . , . Iron and steel trade' conditions are rath er mixed just now. , A better demand Is rj-ported for light materials, but other. wlee only slight improvement Is shown. in me copper and genera.! metal trade the situation is decidedly lea favorable than a month ago. One of the week's Interest ing events was .the sensational collapse In the big cotton nool. which la um have brought disaster to some of the more venturesome operators in storks. The substance' of the report-of mercan tile agencies submitted for the week l that trade and Industrial activities con tinue to expand with promise of perma nent improvement .Europe was In scarce ly any sense a factor in the week's trad ing here.

Of course It would never do In the world to take up public collections for -campaign purposes and not be lieve in the certain election of your candidate, for without enthusiasm nothing goes. But everybody knows that in 189 and 100 the election of Mr. Bryan was a certainty in the minds of Tom Taggart and XTrey vyooason and many more of ths con tlngent who were running the ma' chine. All the plana had been made and all the "stakes sot," and the night before the election the managers gave It out to the associated that every thing was over except the shouting, which would come off the next night. It came off all right, but it was done by the Republicans both times. The Old guard never says die and this Is good doctrine. This writer Intends to vote for Mr. Bryan and hopes for his election, but at the same time, he Cannot get over-enthuslasMo over the prospect as do pone of the traveling men who get In touch with All the folks everywhere and know exactly how many States Mr. Bryan will car ry and that this time his election Is a dead certainty; but notwlthstand Ing their intense enthusiasm never take the trouble to go home to vote. That kind of doing worries me. It is always a good idea for a man to back nis political faith by dropping a bal lot in ths box- That is where Mr. Bryan's trouble has Invariable been. he doesn't get enough votes, but this time he will have them and to spare, If lie is elected, for he will pot gp In by a narrow margin, but by a land slide, i I am. beeping a lot of predictions to be used after the election In demon stration of how much many knew as to exactly what the result would be. This little prediction of mine will be kept along with the others so that I too may have the pleasure of calling attention to my correctness in ths prophetic line. ; ' The Observer and some nth load ing papers In the South In the past few years not friendly to Bryan, but supporting him now, frequently gve expression to the 'parsing of "old time Democrary," and took no stock In the new-fangled political notions, orten hy their supporters referred to as "Jeffersonlan." This ."old-time Democrary," so-called, is gone forev er, and in saying this, it is not my In tention to intimate that Democracy a dead: but-the "anolent dava' nas"1 d from us with Cleveland, and be gan its passage with the advent of PoDullsm.t OrtaJnlv. ' ewfv student of pollt fes must see that both the old parties are ' popullatle. In what re spect Is there a difference In doctrine between' titi Bryan and Mr. Roose velt? The partisan press declare on the Democratic side that ' ths latter stole from the former; If this allega tion be true, where did the Democra cy get itt From the. Populist. But neither aUogaUon It correct, r Both parties nave absorbed this populism as a sponge takes water. The coun try Is full of It. The lesding men In the Democratic party are full bf It and so likewise in the Republican parly; sad In act all the parties that to-day are in the eyes of the people are boosting this ' doctrine that be came famous in thla State in the day When two excellent men, Outhrio and Watson. were- defeat ad : py the late Governor Russell.

We sll know that Mr. Bryan is full of populism, we know that Mr. Kltrbiir-4. and we wlft vote for them both and actually wish for their election. ' When-Tom.

A CH I N ER Y is clear fn his position aj)d If In his power to cast the rote of Georgia for r, Bryan ne would do it. "When Mr. Chafln. the Prohibition candidate, was making a speech In Springfield a few days ago and got hit on tne head with brick, he wa more enthusiastic in his remarks oyer the outlook for his party and declared that the Democratic party -in the South would suffer loss In the coralrij election by reason of the Prohibition vote. Well, now. that prediction is too bad, Mr. Chadn certainly must be Ignorant of what Democracy has dons for prohibition In the South already and right now he should not wish to take any votea from his friends that might have a tendency to give Mr. Taft a lift in the 8outh. Mr. Chafln la portrayed by some who know him ss one of tbe best of men. lie is a Methodist in religion, weighs 180 pounds, a good speaker and spends much time In the lerture field and will be continually on the stump until election day. He flrmlv believes In the ultimate success of the Prohibi tion party and if elected to the pres idency would stop the Illegal liquor traffic and use ths army for that pur-, pose if necessary. There la no doubt of the fact that ha Is a Prohibitionist right and If he makes a few speeches in North Carolina he will add to his vote considerably, i The Prohibition party will poll a much larger vote in the nation this year than ever before In Its history. Now after the bitter ness engendered In the recent prohi bition right in this State everybody appears to be normal again and that Is good; and even the opponents ot the Prohibitionists realise that all towns where lUuor.was formerly sold are much cleaner and more attractive ,Y..

Abraham Lincoln spoke In favor of a prohibi tion amendment then before the Illi nois Legislature. He said: "Law is not for ths protection ot evil. Law Is for the protection, conservation and extension of right things; of right conduct, not for the protection of evil and wrong doing. Never attempt to license the evil." i Mr. Merwln was sent by President Lincoln the day before his assassina tion to New York to consult Horace Greely about using the freedman In digging the Panama canal, and that morning Abraham Lincoln used these remarkable words to Mr. Merwln: "After reconstruction. - the. next great question Is to overthrow the liquor traffic." The tide has certainly been rising against the traffic, and one of these days, not far In the distance, both the old national parties will go to pieces to the extent of a victory for tbe national Prohibition party. There are great-find good men in It now, and the day Is dawning when men of the Influence poost-ased by Mr. Lincoln will get aboard and when this comes the result will be la tbe nation on the same scale as recently in North Caro lina a, general prohibition wave through ajl the country. It Is not due so, much to any great growth of reli gion as ft will be to an educstlon to the effect, that legalising the sale of It Is wrong; as every development of ths traffic proves It to be a moral, social and political wrong. This wsas the teaching of Mr. Lincoln when he WM a politician and the divorcing of It from politics entirely Is out of the question so far as It may be consider ed in the realm of national politics. These lines are written not with any Intention of stirring up a hornets' pest but only In connection with a bit of history that I have recently come across In connection with Abraham Lincoln on the question of prohibi tion. The fact is. I did not know. thst so far back, there was any agita tion of the subject outside of the va rious temperance societies: but-1t ap pears that Mr. Lincoln wanted ths traffhj abollehed years ago snd at the same .time to have the negroes, to whom he hn6 given freedom, put to work digging the Panama canal. If, he had been successful In bavin both Ideas practically carried out the re sult no doubt would have been of value to the country at Isrge and es pecially to the negro race. ; .
