THE PRICE OF COTTOST. The Improvement in Prioe I Based the Acreage Will on Be the Belief That Bednoed. Cotton producers should consider carefully the warning contained in the following from ' the New Orleans Picayune; During the past week there has been quite a substantial improvement in the price of cotton compared with the extreme low prices previously ruling. The cause of the ; improvement has been a growing belief that cotton is cheap at the prevalent prices, and that the consumption has been stimulated to a much greater extent than com monly j believed, by the cheap cost. The demand has improved, materially, not only in the United States, but in foreign markets, with the general re sult that a more confident tone prevails in cotton circles than has been the case for some time past. While there has been an improve ment, the farmers ot the South must not commit the mistake of believing that a permanent advance has set in. Much of the betterment which has oc curred hasbeen predicated on the gen eral expectation of a reduced acreage. Should the farmers decide not to re duce acreage, underline delusive hope that prices must improve in any event, they are likely f to find that the recent advance will be shortlived, and that prices will soon drop to a lower level than they have yet witnessed . A general and radical reduction of acreage is the only sure means of bring ing about a permanent improvement, hence it is to be hoped that the farmers will not be deceived by temporary up ward flurries, which, however welcome, are based entirely upon the belief that acreage will be reduced, and, conse quently, cannot be relied upon untir the expectations upon which they are based are fully realized. Silver "Wedding. Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Boon held a re ception last evening at their residence on North Seventh between Chesnut and Mulberry streets, in celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their mar riage. Quite a number of their friends called to extend congratulations, and they were the recipients of some very handsome and useful presents. 8t. Patriok'a Day. To-morrow will be the 30th anniver sary of the Hibernian Benevolent Socie ty of this city. The members will assem ble at their Hall at 9 a. m., and will pro ceed to St. Thomas Pro-Cathedral, where divine service will be held; after which they will return to their Hall to hear an address from Mr. John Dyer. Fort Caswell. The Southport Leader says the U. S. Government "is building a trestle from the wharf at Oak Island to the top of Fort Caswell, where the new torpedo station is to be built. The trestle is wide enough for two tracks, and cars will be run from the wharf to the Fort to carry the materials to be used in the construc tion of the station, and afterwards to convey all necessary war munitions which may be wanted at the station. The trestle will be about eleven hundred feet long." Carr a Qood Democrat. Through all this mess Governor Carr has shown himself a good Democrat and a man of courage. 1 No Legislature ever got better advice than he gave this one at the beginning. His special message on penitentiary anatrs, a lew davS ago, was dignified and becoming. He has stood all along upon what he conceived to be his. rights, and in bis conception of these he nominated Messrs. Tones and j Meares, Wednesday night, for fudges of the western and eastern Criminal Circuits, respectively. It may be taken for granted that he did this under legal advice, and that he is forti fied for a contest in the Courts.' To these the cases will .'of course go for determination. Staibnck'a Prediction. The News and Observer says: Sen ator Starbuck, Republican, of Guilford, in a speech in opposition to a section of the revenue act, made this prophecy "With Fred. Douglass for sentiment, and the business men down on increase of taxation, it will be hard for another co-operation Legislature to get back here two years hence." Mr. Starbuck may have spoken wiser than he knew. His prophecy is one which nearly every' body who looks upon the record of the late session of the Legislature can but believe will come to pass.

I have expressed no opinion on the subject." In reply to a telegram to ex-Judge R. H.
