WEEKLY, COTTON REVIEW.
New York, April 4. The feature
in the cottou market here during the
past week has been the activity and
comparatively violent fluctuations in
old crop months. Alarmed, perhaps,
by the closing strength of March, tlie
expression of bullish views by promi
nent trade interests and the contin
ued steadiness of Southern spot. mar
kets, May and July shorts were ac
tive buyers early in the week, caus
ing an advance of more than half a
cent from the low level of last month.
At this level demand slackened and
the upward movement was followed
by sharp reactions under May liquid
ation, which seemed to be inspired by
hfrt-edietions'that- the bulk-f the-1 kwal
stock would bfc tendered on contract
next month, Reports that the neces
sity of replanting in tlie extreme
southwest might curfain the end-season
movement combined "with appre
hensions of floods in the Mississippi
Valley, have doubtless added to tlie
strength of the market on advances
but new crop months have been re
latively quiet and there has been
r.:il:::ig lo suggest that new crop np
preliensions were sufficiently acute to
stimulate much outside buying. Re
ports from the Mississippi Valley
forecast even higher waters than last
year and it is claimea that in some
sections live stock is being moved to
high ground and farm work suspend
ed to permit of moie active work re
inforcing the levees. The opinion
most generally expressed in local cir
cles, however, appears to be that even
should floods occur, they are not like
ly to materially affect the ultimate
crop, if conditions elsewhere in the
best prove favorable.

A Great Occasion. Fine Weather
And Large Attendance. Dr. Joyn
er's Great Speech.
Tbe seating capacity of Central I

pacity thin morning for the exercises
of Cabarrus' first county school com- ,

the life of the county. It n h coin- .
ing together of parents, leanurv
committeemen and pupils with l''e pu
pils being the center of attraction.
They were the big. important factors
of the gathering. As Dr. Joyner said
in opening his address. "The d:iv lie
longs to them and . e are irlad t- irive
it to them.
From every school district in the
county the men, women and children
came. It was indeed an educat ionnl
jubilee. The audience was a splend
id one and reflected an intelligence
that was a striking example of the
wonderful progress that has been
made against illiteracy and ignor
ance as a result of the great cain-
nftifm Ftl iinira.col ..lniiti..., t-t ,
motion by the beloved and lamented
Aycock and so successfully continued
by the able Joyner.
The meeting was presided over by
Prof. C. E. Roger. The exercises
were opened by a song, "Carolina."
bv the audience followed bv a son;:.
"The Good Old 1. S. A.," 'by Wine

Following the contest there was a
song by tne liarnsburg quartette.
The quartette rendered several selec
tions and their renditions were great
ly enjoyed by the audience, which
called for several encores. The reci
tations and declamations were then
lelivered. Every number on the pro
gramme was rendered in such a man
ner as to elicit great piaise from the
audience and to reflect credit on the
teachers, schools and childreri. The

BASEBALL.
Will Concord Have a Team This
Summer is Question Being Discuss
ed By the Fans.
Will Concord have baseball this
! summer f
This question is beina discussed
daily by the fans, now that the sound
ot the bat is ringing throughout the
land. The team here last season,
which represented Concord in the
Piedmont League, aroused the old
fans and converted many others.
From this standpoint the team was
a success, but financially there is an
other story. From this standpoint it
was a dismal failure. .That is the
cause of the former supporters of
the team withholding their support
from a team this season. A ma
jority of the people herb want the
game, .cpnjinjjeut: t.
cost has proved a stumbling block.
To put out a winning team costs mon
ey. The experience last "year showed
this to such an extent that the club
finished so far in debt that many of
its bills have not yet been paid. This
has caused many to look askance on
any project for another team.
It is understood that Gastonia and
Salisbury will have baseball and it
is likely a team will be organized in
Statesville. Should these three towns
put out teams and one be organized
here a compact circuit consisting of
four teams epuld be organized. If this
is not done it is probable that a team
of local players will be organized and
play games with various amatuer
teams in this section.

phia, is spending the week end with
