especially those with connections in
the south. At the end of fifteen min

still held.

THE TIMES' DAILY
FINANCIAL STORY
New York, May 12-vHigh records
were numerous- in Wall street this
morning. Among the stocks distin
guishing themselves were Reading at
157, Delaware & Hudson at 193,
Brooklyn Transit 80, Consolidated
Gas at 140, Missouri Pacific 176,
Rock Island at 31 3-8, American Car
13 and the preferred at 82. Even
Erie made a high record, soiling up
to 35 on very heavy transactions.
All these records were made in the
first half hour of trading and most
of them held in spite of profit-taking.
In several cases improvements were
made. Steel common sold up to 58
and Union Pacific rossed 189. Both
held steady around these figures.
The greatest activity was apparent
in stocks that have boon relatively
dormant of late and of this list Erie,
Missouri Pacific and Consolidated
Gas were conspicuous. The old story
f an Increased dividend on Reading
was made to do service again and the
specific report -published in this col-
ttnm last week of a six per cent divi
dend was revivved.
London was cheerful in all depart
ments and sent over somewhat higher
iriccs for American stocks.
On the cotton exchange tliere was
ilso considerable excitement. Every
option on the list opening at least 10
points higher - and some gained
much, as 15 points, lu Chicago tho
wheat market was strong 'with frac
tional gains.
On the curb-market (lie Nevada
Consolidated, Kerr Lake. Ray Cru
ral, .inspiration, and l,at:ose were
the leaders, all selling at 'high record
prices with very ..active-1 lading on
ti e entire list.
Yukon Gold advanced slightly for
he -first time in recent weeks.
New York Cotton Letter.
(By W. B. HUMS & CO.)
New York, May 12 The cotton
market continued its upward tenden
cy from the opening, today, advancing
16 to 21 points over last night's clos
ing under lead of October. During
forenoon May advanced to 10.92;
July, 10.72; August, 10.69; October,
10.71; December, 18.72; January,
10. 69, establishing new high records
for the season. At the opening there
were large buying orders from Wall
street, local and western operators
which advanced prices sharply. There
was considerable realizing, however,
during the advance, but offerings
were so well absorbed that the mar
ket held most of the advance up to
close. - '
Weather in Texas still continues
unfavorable, only rain reported in
Texas overnight was .06 of an inch at
Corph Chritsi. Weather over rest of
the belt being clear and; fine with
maximum temperatures of 72 to 88
and minimum 46 to 70. The fore
cast for the next 36 hours for eastern
Texas is partly cloudy with showers
in southwest portion and fair and
cooler for western Texas. Liverpool,
which was due to come 4 to 1 1
higher to have met out advance of
yesterday opened 9 to 12 points
higher and closed steady at net ad
vance of 18 to 19.
Spot cotton there was in much bet
ter demand and advanced 14 points
to a basis of 5.72d for middling.
The present bull movement Is pre
dicated on poor sart of the crop in
Texas and the uncertainty of the new
crop in the Mississippi valley, These
features on next year's crop rather
than the old one, supplies or trade
conditions is the speculation. The
present activity, howevor, is fully dis
counting the anticipated effects of
tho governments coming report.

W'ould-be Supreme Court Justices
Arc Plenfful.
Since the appointment of Judge
Connor to the federal bench became a
certainty rumors as to would-be suc
cessors of the able jurist on the su
preme court bench of North Carolina
have flown thick and fast. Tire
friends of Judge W. R. Allen, of
Goldsboro, and Mr. J. S. Manning, of
Durham, have been especially active.
Since they were announced the fol
lowing have entered the field: Judg
C. C. Lyon, Judge G. W. Ward, Maj.
C M. .Stedman, Prof. N. Y. Gulley,
Hon. A. L. Brooks, Judge O. H. Guion
and Judge J. Crawford Biggs.
All of these men are probably not
actively in the race. They are "fa
vorably mentioned" and will be there
when the roll is called pushed into
the ght by enthusiastic friends.
Governor Kitchin is up against a
proposition harder to handle than the
one which faced Mr. Tal't. All of the
men named are of "supreme court
calibre" and it will be hard to make
a choice.

main in which season tickets for the

price of $3.50. The sale has been
better than last year but it must Im
prove considerably else the festival
