C0TT0I7 STILL ON UP GRADE
Sold in Raleigh Saturday at n 3-16
Cents About Half the Wake Crop
Marketed.
Post, 14th: The RaleiglT cotton
market on yesterday made a new
high price record for the season, the
fleecy staple having closed at 11 3-16
cents per pound. The prices for the
day ranged from 10 to 11 3-16.
The receipts for the day were 218
bales against 172 last year on this
date. The prices last year were 7
to 7 15-16.
A prominent dealer expresses the
opinion that about half of the Wake
County crop has been marketed to
date and that it is rather surprising
that the sales are not even larger
than they are. The considerable
spurt in receipts yesterday, however,
would indicate that the sale3 will be
considerably more free now as the
market holds up. The receipts until
yesterday have held around about 150
bale3 per day, but on yesterday they
ran to 218 bales.
, " The great bulk of the, cotton now
being held in the county is in the
hands of the larger planters who are
manifesting a disposition to take
chances in seeing how high prices
wil finally range even at the" risk
of the chances for a sudden slump,
for which, however, there is not now
the slightest indication. In fact,
the market is decidedly bullish. Ex
perienced dealers are expressing the
opinion that fourteen and fifteen
cents is not at all improbable before
spring. The opinion prevails that
while the crop is not short of last
year, the needs of the trade are so
far in excess of the supply that
much uneasiness is really felt in
manufacturing circles.
Stnator Smoot.
At the opening of Congress, the
protests against the seating of Sen
ator Smoot, of Utah, will be present
ed to the. Senate, and probably peti
tions for his expulsion will be coming
in all winter. There is very slight
prospect that the demands will be
heeded. The case of -Brigham H.
Roberts is not parallel, for there is
no proof that Smoot is or has been
a polyamist. The charge brought
against him by those who oppose his
seating in the Senate is that as an
apostle of the Horman church he has
assumed obligations and taken oaths
which are incompatible with loyalty
to the United States and proper per
formance of senatorial duties. Much
hearsay testimony and not a little
evidence taken in Utah courts years
ago have been published in pamph
lets by Smoot's opponents, but it is
generally thought unlikely that the
Senate will go into the matter. There
are probably many oaths required by
secret organizations and obligations
demanded by some religious bodies
which place some other objects of
loyalty above the government. To
decide upon such a question impar
tially would require a careful balanc
ing of evidence and avoidance of all
religious bias. Smoot's election is
certainly a Mormon challenge which
shows the growing political power of
that sect ; but since he was not de
feated in the true American way, by
political opposition before election,
it is now probably impracticable to
dislodge him. The most strenuous
advocates of such a course would
probably hesitate at some of the fu
ture consequences which such a pre
cedent might involve. -The World
