Lyceum Course.
It will be a source of gratification
to the entire community to learn that
definite arrangements have been
made for the presentation here d ur
ine this season of some ot the beat
attractions now appearing on the ly
ceum circuits in the large cities. The
fact that these entertainments, of the
highest class, have successfully stood
the critical test of great audiences in
a number of places insures their mer
it and makes all tbe keener the sat
isfaction with which the announce
ment of their engagement for pro
duction in Monroe has been roceived-
A local committee from the Jack
son Club has taken charge of the ar
rangements and, with the cordial as
sistance of all the people of Monroe
hopes to make tbe concerts a great
success. That these gentlemen will
secure the co-operation they richly
deserve goes without tbe saying
F.ntertainmenU of auch superior
quality aa these promise to be have
not been so frequent as to cause mem
to grow commonplace and the oppor
tunity of enioving a rare pleasure at
small expense should and doubtless
ill win the good win ana support
of all.

COTTON.
L-ral market today, 12 .
Last Friday's kevkrw.
There is a struggle for possrsskit
of tbe market in which thus far the
season the bulls have had the ad. ant
age. It has been nip and tuck dnr
mg tbe past week. On throne hano
big receipts, however, hedge selling
by the South and some decline a
spot markets have militated against
a rise in future. On the other hand
t!ie exports are enormous, t xoeeding
those of last year thus far. somecot
ton goods have advanced in price.
American spinners who had been
holding aloof for some time have
bought more freely and of late there
bate been fears that another tropical
storm might strike tbe Mississippi
valley- and probably bring with it
the first killing fnwt of the season
This question of the first frost is one
whose importance it would lie hard
to exaggerate. Sometimes it comes
in the second week ot October and
sometimes not until the but week in
that month and in some parts not
until the second week ot November
In l'.Mi. however, it happened in
parts of Tennessee, M ississi ppi, ( eor-
gia and tbe Carolinas on October II
and October 13. During the past
mouth and a half, however, the weath
er conditions on tbe w hole have been
exceptionally favorable, so much so
that picking has been unusually ac
tive and so has been the marketing
of the crop and especially !'!0 to
f b5 a bale has been a strong incenl
ive for the farmer to sell as fast as
possible. The big movement and
heavy selling by the South against
the actual cotton and the unusually
high prices for this time of the year
have been stumbling blocks to many
who might otherwise have felt dis
posed to push things on the bull
side. In Fast India the crop pros
peels are good. In Philadelphia
yarns have been dun ana snarp
breaks in the stork market have not
been without a certain moral eflect.
But it is impossible to disguise the
fact that F.urope has gone ahead and
bought with a free hand despite the
unusual dearness of the price.
Kuropean exporters and spinners
have evidently been alarmed by the
bad crop reports from Washington.
the latest was that ot last Monday
which put the condition at 5K5 per
cent, as against a ten-year average of
October of t!7 per cent This offset
the fact that the ginning up to Sep
timber 25 was about the same in
mantiiy as that for the same period
last season on the high record crop.
The market had evidently become j
overbought and for a time prices
sagged under the weight of veryl
heavy Inundation. Moreover so lar
as figures go, the bulls will get no
further help from the government,
reports until the December crop es
timate appears. Meantime, however,
they argue that it is a mere question
of supply and demand. They be
lieve that the crop is not over It,-,
000,000 to 11,500,000 bales at the;
most while they look for a consump
tion well over 13,000,000 bales with
the logical results, as they conceive I
of very much higher prices before
the end of the season. Hears predict
12,500,000 bales added to 1 ,100,000
bales carried over from last season.
The question for the future to de
termine is whether the cHocts of a
short or moderate crop will or will
not be neutralized by curtailment of
production which some American
and foreign spinners are now begin
ning to theaten and which bull lead
ers are treating as mere buncombe.
The Southern farmer, it is claimed,
is unusually well off owing to the
big prices he is getting for cotton
and cotton seed and if prices are re
duced will resort to a holding back
campaign as they did some years
ago. As the case stands it is a sea
son that seems likely to be crowded
with events of more than usual in
terest. Today a moderate net decline was
due to a report that spinners at Char
lotte, N. C, had unanimously recom
mended curtailment of production,
raiding by local wars and scattered
liquidation.
Spinners Resolve to Curtail.
Charlotte, N. C , tVtober 8th.
The board of governors of the
American Manufacturers' Associa
tion today adopted a resolution favor
ing a general curtailment that will
effect every spindle and loom in ev
ery mill numbered among those rep
resented in tbe membership ot tue
organization. The curtailment reso
lutions are as follows:
"That in view of the disparity now
existing between the price of cotton
and cotton goods, we
"Resolve 1. lhat a committee ot
five be appointed to formulate a cur
tailment agreement.
"2. That we recommend to every
mill which is in position to do so, to
sicn this agreement and enter upon
curtailment until the price of goods
become on a parity with the price ot
cotton.
Allen's United Minstrels.
A. G. Allen's I'nited Minstrels
were in the city last night and with
the Labor Day crowd running loose,
eager for amusement, the audience
last night could not be accommodat
ed. 1 housands of people, white and
colored, were turned away from the
door because of the overcrowding of
the large tent. It was estimated that
2,500 people were in the audience,
and 1 .500 or 2,000 were turned away
Tbe performance was free from all
objectionable features, and they who
naid the small admission lee seemed
more than satisfied, if one might
judge from the uproaroua laughter
which greeted the actors throughout
the evening.
The program consisted of the us
ual first part, followed by buck and
wing dancing, monologues, banjo
nlavins. contortionist work, etc
Taken all in all. the show could
be well recommended as a clean,
wholesome, boisterous production.
