COTTON EXPORTS FOR SEPTEMBER.
Nearly a Million and a Half Dollars' Worth
Shipped Across the Ocean.
The official compilation at the Cus
tom House of the exports of cotton
from this port for the month of Sep
tember show that during this period
42,484 bales, or 21.811,643 pounds, of
the staple have been shipped to foreign
markets. .The shipments were made
on five of the large British tramp
steamers, and the value of their oar
goes was $1,455,276, which is without
precedent in the history of the port.
On the corresponding month last
year only 27,339 bales were shipped by
Wilmington exporters, which is only
a little more than half the number
this year. The value of exports for
September, 1898, was only $759,912,
and the cotton was transported in
three steamers as against five this year.
Though the regular monthly stock
report at the Produce Exchange has
not yet been posted, Col. Cantwell,
the obliging secretary says that it will
show to morrow about 12,000 bales re
ceipts in excess of September, 1898,
which is very gratifying to Wilming
ton business men and a compliment to
her live and progressive cotton factors.

drew's Presbyterian Church, , and
other representatives from Wilming
ton, returned yesterday from Burgaw,
where they went to attend the ad
journed session of the Wilmington
Presbytery held on last Friday night.
One of the most notable actions
taken by the Presbytery during the
session was the dissolution of the pas
toral relations between Rev. John
Stanly Thomas and Topsail Presby
terian Church and the issuance of a
letter of dismissal from the Wilming
ton Presbytery and commendation to
the Presbytery of Norfolk, Va., Rev.
Mr. Thomas having, as Star readers
will remember, resigned his pastoral
and mission work here to accept the
pastorate of the Suffolk church.
The Presbytery adopted the follow
ing resolution;
Resolved, That in granting the re
quest of Rev. John Stanly Thomas for
a letter of dismission to the Presby
tery of Norfolk, we express our appre
ciation of this year's fidelity and sue
cess in his work amongst us and we
cordially commend him to the fellow
ship and work of the church and
Presbytery to which he goes."
The Topsail and Verona churches
were put under the care ot Rev. S. H.
Isler, as evangelist. Other notable
business transacted by the Presbytery
was the election of Rev. D. P. Mc
Geachy as Presbyte'rial agent of edu
cation and his ordanation and installa
tion as pastor of the Burgaw church.
The next session of the Presbytery
will be at 12 M. on Wednesday, April

liamsburg, Va., declining the call to
the pastorate of the Southside Church,
which was extended to him several
weeks ago and which Rev. Mr. Boyles
has had under consideration in the
meantime. The letter stated that the
call was declined on account of the
de'icate health of Mrs. Boyles, who
thought a change of climate would be
a detriment.
The church will consider the matter
of extending another call as soon as it
is practicable.
The Fake Liverpool News.

ular channel and dealers only got an
inkling of the flurry by telegrams
from buyers in country markets, who
found it difficult for a short time to
compete with agents from other cities
who received the bullish news from
their headquarters. The correction
came to Wilmington before there was
barm done.
