There la nothing upon which to base arguments for higher or lower . prices. Every one Is bullish and no one short, all want to buy.- The movement ' this week Is Known to bo free and no break Is possible under such circum stances; but tho real test will come later. Ab we have said this week's market Is not likely to break nor likely to advance as far as we can discover. Next week we may run against 201,000 bales last year, and the figures will not be as large In comparison. We may have 220,000 or 225,000 bales, smaller than this week, ' but larger than last year Just the same. ' This might prevent much of an advance for the time toeing, If we do uot con tinue the comparison In favorable fash Ion prices will start on an advance. If movement keeps full there will be a reao tlon. In the meantime It Is likely to be a see-saw market, and one to take profits on, on any upturn. .: . ' ' ' - -0- W. Leo & Co.

A New Railroad. A Drunken Mem ber. The Prohibition Move ment, Child Labor (Ques tion. A Deer Law. Raleigh, Feb. 5. Tho State Board of Education la simply astonished at the size of some of the calls made upon It for money to keep the public schools open fonr months in the year. For ez- ample.Rulherford county calls for $8,100 That Is one twelfth of the whole hund red thousand dollars annual appropria tion for the purpose of keeping the pub lic schools open four months In each year. Last year Rutherford asked for $2,500. That county seems to have gone the limit In teachers salaries, and of teachers. Of course the Board can make no such allowance. 'State Superintendent Joynor says that among the amendments of the school law will be one limiting the amount of money which the county school board can set apart out of the general school fund for the building of schools before the remainder of the fund Is apportioned for teachers salaries and other expenses. Manley McDowell of Burke county, Is added to the Incorporators of the North Carolina Farmers Protective As sociation. The promoters of this asso ciation among them Secretary of State Grimes Is prominent, expect great re suits to follow. Much Interest Is found In the building of the Raleigh & Eastern railway from here to Washington. The distance Is al most 100 miles. Tl.o chatter will be se cured In a few days The road as pro- jected is to pass through Wilson and Greenville and Is very nearly an air line. There Is some talk among members of tho legislature about expelling, or at least dleoipling one of the members of that body, of whom it is stated that he baa been intoxicated ever since his ar rival, and tbat he has spent his days and nights In riotous living. This evculng tho pupils of the Mute school for tLe blind here gave a special entertainment in honor of the legisla turo. Superintendent Ray speaking today about this school, and also about one for the colored blind and deaf mutes said tbat 341 pupils were present at the two In etltutions, and that two more would ar rive In a day or two. lie said there was plenty of room, but that the fund for malntainance was not sufficient to enable more to bo cared for. Tho allowance for that fund was made two years ago when thcro were 2G6 publls, and was on a basis of 270. Deep regret Is felt here at the untime ly death of Miss Florence Boylan a very charming young woman, well known In society all over the State. Ten years ago she was dangerously injured In an accident at a switch-back here, and seems to have never recovered complete ly, tne Injury being of the head. She died last night after only four days ill ness. The extension of the prohibition sen timent In the State is certainly very great.thls Is evidenced dally In the Legls lature. Tho anti-saloon league now evi dently favors the Watts' Liquor Regula tion Bill, which at first it did not think would meet the requirements. Cotton mill men from various parts of tie State were here today in considera ble numbers to attend the heaving on the Child Labor bill before theLeglsla ture. This is recognized as being one of the most Important and Interesting matters considered during the present session. A great many high compliments are paid the North Carolina Insurance De partment, so ably managed by J R Young. Insurance papers all over the country are using words of praise. Vice-President Andrews of the Sooth- em Hallway, notifies the Corporation Committee that a new passenger and freight depot will be erected at Winston- Salem. i The State Board of Examiners of Em- balmers Is called to meet here next Wed neaday. Tbe Legislature will make It a misde meanor to kill a deer which another! per son is chasing with dogs. The man, who does the killing will be relieved of the penalty, if he gives to the" pursuer the deer he has thus killed. Congressman Moody, Dead. Special to Journal. Hunan, Feb. 5.

Food Raleigh, February 4 A number of representatives, Fire Iterance agents were here today and mot In the office of Insurance Commissioner Toung, their purpose being to secure some desired changes In the present Insurance law and to present these In the shape of a bill after conference with the commis sioner. State Treasurer Lacy was asked today If the sub-committee on finance had so far made or rather suggested any changes of importance In the revenue act. lie replied that It had not, but up to this time had been working on what may be called the small thing, and relieving any friction. As yet it has not reached the Important matters. For example, the present peddler's license law Is ncaily valueless. The Supreme Court quite re cently said In defining peddler that the law left out the words, on foot. The com mittee has Inserted the words. James 11 Pou loft for Wilson today to assist In the defence of J D Farrlor, a rich and prominent man charged with murdering cn the streets of Wilson a negro named Hunt. The latter had been accused of attempting to burn the town of Wilson directly after tho election of 1889. It Is said that Farrlor had receiv ed some- threatening letters and had an idea that they came from Hunt. It Is further Baid that this and the attempted incendiarism had preyed upon Farrlor's mind. The bill regarding the labor of children in factories comes up In the Legislature In a few days. One member was heard to say today that he did not know of any demand for such a bill, but others speak very differently about the matter. It Is very safo to guess that a very plain law will be passed, and tbat It will be pretty Closely along the lines of Gov. Aycock's message The bill to give all of Wilkes county prohibition came up In the House today, At one time, and not so very long ago. It used to be said that Wilkes was the hardest drinking county in the State.but yesterday In a speech before tho com mittee which had up the liquor regula tion bill for the whole State, a member said that no liquor was drank In that county; that the people only made it and shipped it out for other people to drink. This raised a great laugh. It Is very sure that the law officers all over the State greatly favor the move ment to restrict the manufacture and sale of liquor to incorporated towns. Here In Wake, one of the largest coun ties In the State there Is not a bar room outside of Raleigh, but there are distill eries, both licensed and unlicensed. The joint committee to Investigate the alleged cruelty to convicts near Marion today through chairman Warren, noti fied the person making tue charges and also the ponltentlary people to have their respective witnesses on hand at Marlon next Tuesday. It Is said that a remodeling of the laws regarding building and loan association Is desirable; that the law Is contained in the code and is 20 years behind the time that these associations are organized be fore clerks of court, wbo report to the corporation committee. It Is said that the proper way to do would be to have the report come directly to a State of ficial, or rather to the corporation com mission. During the last fiscal year of tho Uni ted States Revenue Department, 200 il licit dlstilarles were destroyed by deputy collectors. . In a few days a bulletin of the State Agricultural Department will be pub lished on adulteration of foods. It is learned from one of the chemists who made the analyses that the work done before hand Is having a good effect, For example In the previous report it was shown that of the samples of cer tain kinds of canned goods, 08g were adulteratedr while this report will show only 13. The chemist Bays the cause of this great Improvement Is the expos ure of this dangerous and outrageous fraud, and the fear of still further ex posure. - CLARKS. sickness Prevalent.

CUT1CURA OINTMENT Purest of Emollients and Greatest of Skin Cures. The Most Wonderful Curative of AHJime For Torturing, Disfiguring Humours. Cuticura Ointment is beyoud question the most successful curative for tortur ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, ever com pounded, in proof of which a siulo anointing with It, preceded by a hot bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed In the severer cases by a dose of Cuti cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning and scaly humours, permits rest and sleep, and points to a speedy cure when all other remedies fall. It is especially so in the treatment of infants and chil dren, cleansing, soothing and healing the most distressing of infantile hu mours, and preserving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp and hair. Cuticura Ointment possesses, at tho same time, the charm of satisfying tho simple wants of the toilet, in caring for the skin, scalp, hair and hands from In fancy to age, far more effectually, agreeably and economically than tho most expensive ot toilet emollients. Its "Instant relief for skin-tortured babies," or Sanative, antlseptio cleans ing," or M One-night treatment of tho hands," or "Single treatment of tha hair," or " Use after athletics," cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each m connection with the uso of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence of this. Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre serving, purifying and beautifying tho skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff, and the stopping ot falling hair, for softening, whitening and soothtnir red.

Ical remedies may Cive relief hut they fail to euro perma nently. .Sprays or snuffs amount to little or nothing except to giro tempo rary relief. Catarrh is frequently located in inter nal organs which cannot bo reached by any sort of local treatment. All this is known by every physician. To devise some systemic Internal rem edy which would reach catarrh at ita source, to eradicate It permanently from the system tills has been tho desiro of the medical profession for a long time. Forty years ago Dr. Hartman confronted this problem. He believed then that ho had solved It. Ho still believes he has solved it. Ho cures thousands of people annually. During all theso years Pe runa has been tho remedy upon which he lias relied. It was at first a private prescription, afterwards manufactured expressly for him in largo quantities. This remedy, Peruna, is now to bo found ia every drug store and nearly every homo In the land. It is tho only reliablo internal remedy ever devised to euro any case of catarrh, however long the caso may have been standing. Mr. Camillus Senile, 25" West 129th street, New York, writes : " I havo fully recovered from my ca tarrhal troubles. enrr.xmA r i- r r three years with catarrh of the head, nose and throat. I tried all kinds of medicino with out relief, but at last I have been cured by tho wonderful rem edy called Pe runa. "I read of Pe runa In your almanac, and Mr. Camillus Senne. wrote you for advice, which I followed. After taking one and one-half bottles of Peruna I am entirely cured, and can recommend Peruna to anyone as the best and surest remedy for any catarrhal troubles." Camillus Sonne. A course of Peruna never fails to bring relief. There is no other remedy like Peruna. Its enres are prompt and per manent. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from tho use of Peruna, writo at onco to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your caso and he will bo pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
