Y Cotton Futures (Special tx Thej Messenger.) New York, December 22. In spite of a dietline- of l-64d dm Uverpool this morning, the cotton market advanced today. The Liverpool quotations "were not encouraging to the Haulls and the opening' here was a shade, under yes terday's closing prices. May sold on the erst call at 5.89. Reoeipts both at the ports and interior towns were rriod- ernte. This, was attributed to bad weather in 'the south, "but, nevertheless caused some uneasiness aqpong the shorts who bought ctuite. freely. One large interest especially was a good buyer. After the opening the market drmimediaitely developed an upward ten dency and advanced slowly throughout t'he day. May advanced to 5.95 and dosed at 5.94 to 5.95, with the tone of the market steady. The rise today is generally regarded as indicating only the desire of nervous shorts to cover be- fore tne holidays. iRIORDAJN & CO (By Associated Press.) New York, December 22. Today's cotton market had all -the .holiday char aeteristics, fluctuating very narrowly. ifche volume of business small and chief ly in the hands of the local element. Opening steady at 1 point decline to 1 point advance, the euibsequent varia tions were -within 'the scope of 6 points. The close was steady at a net gain of 2 to 4 poin ts.. The room traders had their interests fairly covered and "were. not disposed 'to add new responsibilities in view of the iholidays. This morning's cables were regarded as encouraging to jspot sales at Liverpool. VTeyler Opposed to Autonomy .Madrid, iDecemtber 22.

If the extraordinary revelation from Wall street, prjnted in the last issue of The Criterion, be a itrue bill and capable of proof, tbe president of the United States should (be impeached. As It stands, only halt of the event prophesied has ftappened, and it remains to be seen whether the other half, making the per fect wnole or wickedness, will occur in the ripeness of time. iBut if it can be proved that a Wall street Tnagnate, in terested in the prolongation of the war in Cuba so that a syndicate may buy the Island for a song-," when "Spain is weary and vuba is ruined, actually was clos eted several times with the president prior to the writing of the message, then William McKInley should be impeached or high treason to the American people, to civilization and common humanity. But can it be proved? Is the charge true? We hope not. Still, It seems rath er strange and ugly that McKinley's message should give the He so flatly In its Cuban section to the pledge of the platform to which he gave allegiance and on which he was elected. New York Cri tenon. The failure of retail trade to grow as anticipated, or at least prophesied by our prosperity -Boomers, has set such iboom- ers to manufacturing explanations. The fact that the ultimate consumption of goods is not increasing is of most seri ous import, for until such consumption does increase retail stocks will not be worked dawn, Whey cannot he turned over mere rapidly, and the demand for man ufactured goods cannot expand and. re main expanded so as to. keep open all the mills that have kept abreast of the times andVgive employment to all fac tory employes. And so t'he time when increased consumption of goods will show itself by increased sales of goods at re- tan, when a neaithy increased demand for goods will make itself felt and cause prices to advance is anxiously waited ior, arxiousiy waned -ror tjy the 28,000 operatives of Fall River, whose wages have just Iheen cut by 10. per cent, because- of lack of demand and falling prices for .cotton goods.

Every time an oil company has started in this state, the business men have promised them their sup port, and every time when the Standard Oil Company came in and cut prices in order to freeze out their rivals, the business men. .en masse, have deserted-the new com pany and gone, bag and baggage, to the old company and assisted them in doing their dirty work, only to suffer even more, eventual ly by having prices raised still higher aftetr the competition is throttled.

A prominent merchant informs us that a careful estimate places the amount of cash (in money jand express orders and checks) that leave the town every day to pay for retail purchases made of mer chants in the larger cities, at $250. That is nearly $100,000 a year. Now, think how much the spending of this amount here in Fayetteville would add to the busi ness or our roerohants. This leakage hag (been going on for years, under the impression of those who contribute to it that goods were cheaper elsewhere. Fayetteville Observer. We are told that there are several hun dred oales of cotton on the Roanoke faim not picked for want of labor, much pir wmcn must necessarily be injured if net wasted altogether. And while we do not agree wrrh the director concerning the use of 'convicts on railroads, yet he certainly is right in his protest against hiring tnem out to work on private farms, and working on strictly private propertieii, as has been done, and is now ielng- done we believe. The construction ox railroads un the state is of such a general public character as to justify the use of Convicts thereon, but the rais ing of truck -and strawberries for mar ket is as uncalled for as opening a pu"b lic laundry at the penitentiary.
