THE > VOLUME IX. DUNN. NORTH .. ~ i i _ BUSINESS IS STILL ON THE UPGRADE Cotton Price* Soaring And Stool Production Near* 100 Por Cant Mark New York, Marco 4.—Continued itrength in commodity and tenuity prico* and additional indication* of great industrial activity featured the past week in finoncu and commence. | t'irmneM in commodify prices wae in the main a reflection ot the strong Industifal situation, steel prire* again moving toward Higher levels an,I non , fernou* metals, particularly copper making a material advance. In steel buyers arc still anxious to obtain places on the nmnufartucsr*' books, and the makers have now rais ed their rate of operations close to 80 per test of capacity, while prices of ftniuhed stasl product* have risen *o that the Iron Age’s index stand* at 127.48 as compared with <18.10 a year ago. Cotton Frio** Strong Cotton is another commodity whirl) displayed remarkable strength, dar ing »He pnat week. New high record,I 'vere achieved, the May future roach-1 i I' f* 30 fid Paula Daw so*:, at. _ ___1 went is partly a reflection of large «•«!* industrial nativity. The Censor Buivou’a report on mill takings dor 'ia January having. eaUMkhed the fact that high pi ices have not pro-j verged an catrnonUnary rate of con sumpgion. Meanwhile, /reports of storks of the commodity, both nt Souther pointi uni at the parts, con firm other indications of a strong statistical position anil re-inforc# the conclusion that supplies aril) br tCAji ty before the now.crop cornea Into being. It is estimated that a crop of something Hke 11.000,000 bales, which ia 3.000,000 more than that of the past year will be needed to restore the supply to an approximately nor mal basis. Easiness Better Railroad ear loadings continue to Mild their tomimony as to the batter •tats of business. Currant figures 4s P*"rtou» records for the months. The first 62 roads te report for January show 344,000,*00, which . is nearly double the amount earned by these roads ia Janaary a year ago A consideration which is causing concern in tome quarters is the pos sibility of a shortage of labor when out-of-doors work increases in tha spring. Labor supplies already ore short in the steel indus uuitry and than ia talk of further increases ia wages. Nor is Shis condition limited to the steal In dustry. Thera is a disposition, how ever, not to magnify tha d (Acuity and to hope for a reasonable attitude on the part of both labor and capital, i the feeling being that the manner I in which this problem la met will go far towards determining the charac ter of business during the rest of tha year. Massey mm New Basis Following the moderate rise in In terest rateaL which preceded and fol lowed the limiting of the Federal Re areve Bank rata at New York, the money market has settled down on the new basis. The bank returns Indi ana* "V WVII VI NIV ll«w 1 Vis and Boston bank* In bringing thair rate* in line with theaa at the other reserve institution* resulted in a shrinkage of rediscounts at the for mer institutions It alao ia considered significant that these bonk* gained largely in their proportional holdings of the Federal Reserve system's gold settlement fund. Taken as a whole, however, the banking situation ap pears to have undergone no ranched change.

Jones’ markmansliip foiled him at I i Ibis point, and the bullet ho *irad as Hawkins raised thr rifle went astray, • Jarman being called on to save him self. He fired a second later riddig s shot from the rifle and this'time Hawkins dropped his weapon and fled. The negro was not sea" again until the following afternoon, when ho sguin boarded Captain Wcatbcruby’s train, and the father of Sheriff Jar omn, told to watch for Hawkins, who was cm the train, saw him. The eon doctor identified him, and be was placed under arrest, brought to Kew Hern and held here until this morning for safe keeping. NCAL NAMED CHAIRMAN STATR BOARD ELECTIONS Raleigh.
