This feature, it la believed, will be the controlling factor for some, time to none, 6r at least as long as kfaaeheater eoatinute to boy more than her soasumption dally. At ths same time this condition of affairs doea not attract a tpeculative demand at home, or abroad, without this speculative demand The mark.t is naturally a dull one, and enoh fluctua tions as occur are due to minor trans actions. Whether this eontinued de mand from Manchester will bring about a revival in speculation, is the qneation the trade seem unable to solve, bnt they seem determined not to be short of eotton until this ques tion is dselded.

The flim-flamer, the gentleman of ths slick and sunning Band, w works ths film flam gam, It la the city again, or rather It it one of hit aldee Thit mantpulater, of low aad stock build, deep tet eye and rather Bene looking, niustachloa, has a weakness for visiting drug stores to ply his trade. If he bad been a subscriber to the "P-V" he would hsts gone anywhere bnt to a pill fa itory. Charlie Bunch's valuable and coctly eipcrienee was told In these columns, and ever sines then all manner of men in the drng bualnees ia this city hsts bssn shy of changers of money. The flamer atarted on his rounds laat evening by visiting Mr. Wm. Simpson, in the Pullea building. Mr. Simpson it si-president of the National Pharm aceutleal Association, but that le no reason why be should have favored the distinguished gentleman with the first eall Tbe fakir handed Mr. Simpson a two dollar bill In purchasing a elgar. Mr. Simpson gave him back the right change. Then the man oftfking fame did some more changing with Mr. Simpson and left the s'ore one dollar to ths good. Mr. Wm. Mabry had Deen watching the stranger and be immediately told Dr. Simpson hs thst was a "did"man. A count of money revealed the fact and Mr. Mabry was out the front door, aad in. swift pursuit of the man with the atraage face in a few briefs. Ths stranger was cutting tome eitra steps in the matter of fast walking, but Mr Mabry, by hard pushing, was soon on him. A little coating and tbe eng. geetion of police toon pot him in a notion to do the right thing. Not disconcerted, the ttranger made for John Y. MacKae's junior drug store. Mr. George Nottingham was behind the counter. The stranger purchased another elgar with a two dollar bill. Mr. Nottingham gave him the change in return. The stranger asked for a paper dollar for the dollar in sliver, whieh had been 1 given him. The he remembered thst he had an extra Ave cents and asked for the orlgnal two dollars. He only put up one dollar, expecting Mr. Not tingham to count a dollar which he held in his hand. The Charley Bunch episode wss uppermost In George's ind, and he calmly told the fakir that hit game did not work. Out went "our friend' the atranger. He headed for King's. Whe should be standing behind the counter but Mr.- Buneh. Then the fakir com menced. Change was asked for and Charlie smiled. The third move waa about to be played and Charlie gave him the oold laugh. He span around on hit heels and pointed to the door. And the fakir by this time has a poor opinion of Baleigh.

On every hand are signs vt tbe ap proach of tile Christmas holidays. The sir, somehow r otbtr, is loaded now with a fragrance of cedar and the frosty accompaniments of Santa Clans. With the approach of Christ maa and the dawning of the greatest holiday of tbe Christian year, every one who has friends and loved ones begins to nonder what is a suitable pre'ent, and in the majority of cases. what present is suitable to tbe pocket. Whatever tbe consideration that actu ates the purchaser, be will experience little difficulty in Raleigh in selecting what is both suitable to his means snd taste. The jewelry store, the dry goods store, the clothing store, tbe confec tionery ptore, the china Btore, the drng store, ths shoe store, and in fact every kind of store imaginable offers for sale in this city a variety of articles never before equalled. Already the purchaser of Christmas gifts is at work. The various stores of the city are indeed beginning to make the usual extensive preparations, and business has received an in impetus most ssla tary in effect. The prospects are th at Raleigh, as a whole, will spend one of the pleasantest and happiest seasons which it has experienced for years. GEN. NELSON A. MILES HERE.

IDe following interesting facta are given by the Newberne Jonrosl e n oeroiog tbe eit-neire oyster eiport business cf the firm of Geo N Ives & Co., who have a branch estab'isboient in this ci'y: Among the shipments of water pro ducts that have just left here, were three hundred and twenty-five gsllons of oysters on the steamer Nease, for the North and West from the raw house of Messrs. Qeorge N Ives Son, a bandred gallons by rail for Chicago, and about the same quantity for the local trade. This firm carries on a fine oyster business in connection with their regu Ui fish rbipping They work three doien sb ackers, or m-n who open tbe oysters, snd for some time past I bey have been shipping f.om two to six hundred gallons per day to all points of the compass, eicept esst of us, where the sounds, the borne of the oysters lie, and from which their sap plies are obtained. Their shipments extend as far north aa New York, as far west as Chicago and Detroit, and as far aouth as Soo'h Carolina and Georgia. They supply one hoase regularly with sli hundred gallons per week and several other houses as high as from two to three hundred gallons per week. There are no finer oyBters in the United States than those that are now being shipped from Newbern, and Messr . Ives & Son a.e wide awake enough to secure the best that come As an evidence of the realizttion of this fact by jobbers, they regularly apply torn" of tbe leadiog houses of ths country, and yet, as another evi dence that "a prophet in not without honor save in his own country," Mr. Ives tells us some Southern dealers order from tbe firms in Baltimore and elsewhere to which tbey sell and pay from 15 to 20 cents more per gallon, besides having the disadvantage of not getting tbe oysters as fresh. They suppose they are getting Chesapeake bay oysters and in some cases they may, or they may get North Carolina oysters or a mixture of the two. Th shuckers make from 75 cents to $9 per day aoeording to expertcess. The best bands can open from fifteen to siiteen gallon", Tbeir pay is 131 3 cents per galiob. As soon as one has opened a gallon it ia received from him and a check piven him for it. Thesa checks are cashei twice a week every Wednesday and Saturdiy. Ths house pays out to its shuckers from $325 to $250 per week and from $600 to $1,000 per week for the oysters themselves. A GOLD-HEADED CANE Kcv. W. C. Norman Presented With One by His Bible Class. Rev. W. C. Normtn's closing services atTilmington Sunday were attended by large congregations, say the Messenger and Star. Sunday afternoon Mr. Norman's Sunday School Bible class presented him with a handrome gold beided cane After tbe sermon at night Mr Norman made some very sympathe tic and appropriate closing remarks and stated that in the past four years he had received into churoh mem bersbip upon profession ot fsith and by letter 285 persons. Tbe Star says after tbe services were ended it was very affecting to see the press of hur dieds of personp, not only of theoongrexation of Grace Church, but of other oom amnions who wended their way forward to shake the hand of and bid good-bye to this faithful and consecrated man of God and his estimable wife, and tbe "God bless you," wbijh he said to all will never be forgotten. Several hundred people were at tbe depot Monday morning to bid Mr. and Mrs. Norman good-bye as they left for Conference. The Sale at C. O. Ball's. The sale at C.

Never was there so mucu trife and spleen and unrest before The present, trouble is worse even than when Bill Hawkins accused Jim Atkins of trying to "bear" tbe black berry market. For did we not aay that th post master, or mielresship, was ia contro versy? And does not that, with lie. $100 Balary, mean that the black han I of avarice has its hold on the peopl- ? Does it not mean that somebody will give out the letters and live in luiury. while others must continue in less profitable pursuits. The facts of the casus belli ars theae. Several days ago Mrs. Uowland, the postmistress, sent in her resignation. This did notereate a stir for Mrs. How land is an invalid, and her resignation was expected; Miss Waldo, assistant, will be sorely appointed thought tbe people, and Mrs. Howland will become aaalatant. Then it was that a Mr. Templeton. athirst for political bonrr, came In the field. He sent in hie application aad announced bin candidacy. Thnaeame the war.
