INSURANCE REPORT. 119 Licensed Companies In the State ' Secretary Cooke'e Comment. The annual insurance report pre pared; by the secretary of State and' containing statements of all companies doing business in the State, has been publisBed and is now being sent out from tho secretary's office. ' There are at present 119 insurance companies licensed and doing busi ness in. this state, of which 29 are Life Insu ranee Companies 10 are Accident Companies; 11 are co-operative Life Companies; 4 Guarantee, Fidelity and Trust Companies) 2 are Marine, and the balance Fire and Marine. Of these six are North Carolina Companies, that is they are, incorpo rated by the General Assembly of North Carolina, and have their prin cipal offices in the State. Secretary of State Cook says in submitting tho report: "It is gratifying to note that the value and efficiency of the legal pro; vision in this State for regulatingln- sQrance have' been discovered inthe decreasing number of losses to pol icy holders by the insolvency of the insurers. The procuring of some guarantee company to make the surieties and official bonds, instead of individuals',' is fast' growing in favor with our people, and it has been a subject c' close attention by this department that companies soliciting that busi ness should furnish the most satis factory evidence of thefr financial efficiency. - tiarfleld School IHanksglvtng Exercises.

Th.t4ttue UMlowel at Present lind tbe" . .,v . ,. , l-uture Outlook. One of ur best informed cotton men was asked for his estimate of the situation today and said: Alter a decline of almost ' 80 points since tbe eh c'ion a reactiou is on'y justified. The decline was due to heavy receipts 'and liberal selling for Liverpool aiifl New Orleans account' Before he election Liver pool bought freely in New York to sell out with profit aft or theelection. Farmers were holding their cot ton back autxipatiEg,,an advance after the election, so libaral receipts are the logical sequence. Now they hurry their cotton to town and help the decJjnBjBylis were, prefty well lottdedHmaoVifirUieVefoVft1 tiof sus tain the market. Stop orders ere reachml preoipi-tatiu thus the de. cline. It seems to me that prices are now on a safe basis although it is possible that tbe market may drop somewhat further should receipts continue heavy for another week. I think it profitable to Start buying at present prices. The demand for cotton isgood both for domestic use and export. T. Ellison estimates this years consumption to be 8.800, 000 and even if the crop should reach 9,000,000 there would be such a sm'alf Quantity left at the end of this Season that with a late crop for 1897-'8 a fight for cotton may result. Neill Bros., say in their recent cir cular: It is interesting to reflect ou hoi f e would have got on had : the season beeu a normal one, instead of one of the earliest Americ an c rops ever known how we could have done without the 600,000 bales ex, cess in American .exports the past two months as the stock in Liverpool is only 303,000 bales against 792,000 bales last year, but there is afloat for Europe 853,000 bales vs. 515,000 bales last year. The" statistical position is admit. todlyjttrong. American and Euro- lean spinners wera oare or.ettnn hi the beginning of this season, the to tal stocks at European ports were 690,0OQ. ."bales, against 1,75(7,000 n 1895, 1,313,000 in 1894,1,406,000 in 1893,American cotton- ' ' Even should this year's -yield amount to !,000,000 bales there would-be at the end of this season only a very small visible supply left, and again the mills bare of cotton and we have to face the fact that there are still,, ten months ahead of us. before we can get new cotton. European spinners buy fret'ly. This is proyed by large reportsThere has come into sight up to November 21," 4,184, 000:'balest .v8. ' 3,250,000, 1895, 4,464,660 bales 1894 and 3,513, 00Q iff 1893 . Exports to Europe are larger in sume proportion as com pared with last year, viz: 2,020,000 against 1,208,000. .Supposing that up to the 30th of November aWint 4,700.- 000' bales will come into sight, 1 nake. the following calculations: 'The average quantity brought in to sight up to November 30 for the last ten years is 51,69 per cent. This percentage would point for 9,090,- 000 bales for 1890-7. This season is, however, unusually early, and cal culating at the percentage of the earliest crop of the last ten years, yfe: 1888, "57.7$ cenU the movement feci. Jar would point to a yield of about 8,150,000; such calcu lations are evidently conflicting. The chief factor which prompts me to take tbe bull side is the re es tablishmeht" 6T confidence' in trade. rCondiClo'ns 'will "adjust themselves after the political and financial dis turbances, and trade and consumr tion will broaden. The East Indian crop is a failure and the Egyptian crop turns out smaller ; than anticipated. Ameri can cotton will therefore be in good demand. . -' .Even; should farmers plant again a:large acreage and the coming Spring and summer be favorable, I believe that ' the large demand will sustain the market and the slightest indication that this Crop will not reach 9,000,000 bales will carry the price of cotton upward.
