ed an improvement of from seven to
eight points over yesterday. The most
conspicuously strong feature has bean
thebuvinc of near positions, which
have advanced relatively more than
those of the summer months, theie
firmness being attributed to tbe expec
tation that the difference in low grades
will be narrowed during the current
month, o as to bring them more in line
with Liverpool. The movement of the

pected. Receipts at ports are over 4,-

Was the meeting that last night
adopted resolutions against the crea
tion of a railway commission, a thor
oughly representative body? If so, did
it reflect the sentiments of the people
of Ashevtlier Tne question that en
gaged the attention of the meeting
one of the gravest importance The in
tereats of the people and of the rail
roads are deeply Involved, and contid
eratlon of the issue, should, be ap
proached in a spirit of calm wisdom
broad patriotism and perfect fairness
It is not to be trifled with, nor dealt
with under any impulse of prejudice
or narrow-mindedness or spite against
corporations, without peril to the pub
lic interest. A false step may repel
capital, check the development of our
railway system, and set North Carolina
back a dosen years, On tha other band,
a wise law may eradicate evtls.enbance
values and redouble the prosperity' bf
the country Let us be sure We are
right, then go ahead.
