ARE YOU A SUFFRAGETTE?
Miss Sybil Hyatt, president of the

been Instructed by the State officers
to prepare a list of the persons in
Lenoir county sympathising with the
"cause." She asks all these to tele
phone or send a postal to her, giving
their names and addresses. "This is
very .little to do to help the work,
when there are women who are giv
ing all their time and hundreds of
dollars a month," says Miss Hyatt
: Membership dues in the league, are
$1 a year. This money goes for
campaign expenses. The league
hopes to put on play, "Tour Girl
and Mine," at the Grand Theater in
April, for the benefit of the cause.

(Reported by R. H. Rountree & Co.)
New York, March 5.We have had
one of the most interesting week
since the exchange opened. The news
that England would put an embargo
on all trade with Germany, both in
and out of the empire, created some
thing of a consternation in certiin
cotton circles, owing to the fear that
it would be impossible to get cotton
to either Germany or Austria and so
result in the throwing of more cotton
on the market here. The effect of
the news was to create considerable
pessimism and bring out cotton held
by many longs, with a decline of about
25 points in the price. Although no
news has since been forthcoming to
indicate what the attitude of the Eng
lish Government is going to be on the
subject of cotton, for some unex
plained reason the market not only
recovered all the loss, but even ad
vanced 10 or 15 points above the
price prevailing when the announce
ment was first made. This sharp ad
vance of about 85 points oin about 24
hours was followed by heavy selling
for account of a prominent spot house.
' The question of insurance rates is
growing to be a serious one. 1 The es
tablishment of the war tone around
Great Britain with intermittent des
truction of steamers has added to the
risks involved in shipping cotton to
both Great Britain end the Continent,
and a corresponding increase in the
cost of insuranre. Reports from time
to time indicate that many shippers
have great difficulty in obtaining the
necessary insurance, except at almost
prohibitive rates, and this has tended
to cool any speculative ardor on the
bull side after the recent recovery in
prices. On the other .hand, the mar
ket itself displays a most remarkable
degree of resistance. ' Thousands of
bales of cotton can be sold, these con
tracts all disappear in some myster
ious fashion, and the market itself
displays a greater desire to advance
than to decline. AH months rule
equally firm, and the difference be
tween May and July is practically the
same this week as it was two or three
months ago. This would seem to in
dicate a very healthy situation, re
vealing the fact that there are still
enough buyers willing to pay a pre
mium on fall positions to maintain
this premium over the near positions,
a fact that leaves the entire market
without pressure so long as the South
continues to hold firm on its spots. ,
We have no wreached the points
the visible supply" is likely to begin
to show a different tendency from
that existing since the season hejran.

more than likely to offset the in
sight movement, which means that
those who have held cotton off the
market throughout, the season will
curtail their planting and refuse to
part with the cotton on hand unless
the market changes for the better.
We still believe in buying on good re
cessions. , ,
