How Cotton lisnres Are Fsked. The Raleigh correspondent of the Char lotte Observer says: There are all sorts of tricks In the cot ton future business, but here Is a story about how one is worked. Some days ago a Raleigh man was in New York, and asked what the receipts at Ral elgh were that day. The reply was "853 bales." The Raleigh man said to him self: "That's queer. I do not believe the receipts are half so large as that. He went out and telegraphed tbe secre tary of the local cotton exchange here, who replied that tbe receipts were 153, The manipulators had "raised the fig ures" and made tbem Hos, coolly adding a couple pi hundred. Tbe itaieigh man went back to tbe exchange and without saying anything more about tbe receipts asked what was the amount of cotton in warehouses at Raleigh. A book was opened and he was told unblushingly "8,000 bales." It nearly took his breath, as he knew well there were not 8,000 bales in warehouses, and that the entire receipts so far this season are not much over 8,000. Now then, this is one scheme. Here another: "On the board at the cotton exchange at New York will be put up tbe figures. "Receipts at Ntw urieans this day last year, say, 17,000 bales todar receipts estimated at. say. 80, 000." Perhaps the actual receipts of the day may be only 10,000, but the "esti mate" catches tbe eye and does its work, New York lives on "Jays." This is the way It "works" them. It is a pretty story with a moral neatly tucked away in it, but "jays" nsver look for tbe moral. They simply glance and then bite like the silly things that they are. 3 SO for 203 Sermons.

An amusing story is going the rounds illustrating tbe extent to which King Edward is influenced by Sir Ernest Cassel. says the London correspondent of the New York World. Lord Cro mer, tbe British agent In Egypt and easily the most successful distinguish ed public servant of England at this moment, visited tbe king recently to be congratulated on his second mar riage. ' Tbe king offered the usual fe licitations, referred flatteringly to Cro mer's services in Egypt and wound up with this remark: "Sir Ernest Cassel has formed a high opinion, of your work." In his anger Cromer told tbe story freely, being furious . that . bis reputation with; ths king should de pend o tbe opinion of Cassel, who was scarcely recognized at tbe residency In Cairo. .
