The hour for the meeting has been changed from night to half after four in the afternoon and a list of protesting merchants and property owners whose business is sit uated on Fayetteville and other streets adjacent to the boundaries of the mar- Kket, circulated this morning, grew to such an extent that it is .thought prob able that the Mayor's office will not hold the crowd and that after tbe gath ering has arrived at the Mayor's office they will move into Metropolitan Hall and there make protest against tbe sale of the building from under their feet. The movement has grown immensely and the opposition has become so in terested that it seems a protest of the entire street will be made, though there are yet some of the business men who hope to have a discussion of the matter. Business men, property owners and otheVs who oppose the sale or removal of the market are requested to meet at the Mayors office Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. : . 8. and D. Berwanger, I.

The writer's business will not be af fected by the sale of the market bouse. nor has he any real estate that will in crease or decrease in value if the change is nude, and can -orobafblv look at both sides of" the question fairly. As the Hoard of Aldermen have the matter in charge the first question to be considered is, how will the change affect the city as a corporation. Tf the pres ent site can be sold for S5O.00O, and r-two aeres of the square bounded by Martin, Davie, Blount and Wilmington secured at a. fair price, the market can ib greatly- enlarged, enough of the new property can be sold to pay for the. new site, the proceeds resulting, from the sale of the market will build and equip a new market bonne ,aod auditorium. . ; Tbe. present ewe, together -with such portion of the new,' a may. be. sold to individuals, will go on the tax' 'books cieaTiy tnecorporaioon win . ,oe largely benefitted. ;''.' .."'

Wilt the new location' be satisfactory to the people.., It cannot be denied, that the present location is totally; inadequate to accommodate the patrons of the market A purchaser now finds' it neeeasarv to so to South Salisbury street to forage, to Bast Bar- gett. street for wood and .to the market home for" meats and vegetables,, while under the new arrangement all of these aimoyanres would be avoided.

It is asserted.' Chat business in territory ad jacent to the market will be injured. and that the new location will net be so convenient Nothing more has been suggested.- In reply to tbe first sugges tion tt might be said that the city is not the guardian of the private interest of her citisens, hut even if it was her pro vince to do so, "turn about is fair play." and having taken care of a few blocks for several generations it should ' an be In order to render assistants to locali ties that hate not in the past been thus highly favored.' '': .' s ':: On the score of convenience it may be said that a maTket large enough to conveniently accommodate every commo dity offered for sale, located just one block lower down Wilmington street, has manifest advantages over the pres ent arrangement which makes it neces sary' for a housekeeper to travel several blocks in order to secure tbe daily ' supplies'-of every household. : Everything considered, therefore, from an unureju- L diced standpoint, favors the. schema of flt( hj ,..V 1 . i ww, ,wvua HMUK, Man .' 7-' The opponents may defeat the propo sition by presenting a feasible plan for securing an auditorium.

Tonight at Metropolitan Opera House The Confederate Concert" will be re peated. It will on this occasion be for the benefit of St. Luke's Home for Aged Women.

' , On the Cotton Exchange there is at present a great deal of diseusskm as to the future of the cotton market for this season's product The recent rush of sales at the time of the flop of Price, McCormick & Co., of New York, who had been taking the side of the Southern farmers, and who had advised the holding, of the crop as long as possible, has left in the opinion of many only a small remnant of the crop of last year's raising. This opin ion is held by tbe great majority of those who advise from the New York 'Change, but the cotton men here feel that this section was not affected so gen erally As others by the advice to sell. Tbe sales here a few weeks ago did not increase to .that extent that they did in other parts of the cotton country, and about the same percent of the crop is now in the hands of the farmers or of other people of this section that was at that time. The latest dispatch received from tbe New York agents, Price, McCormick & Co., .is as follows: .: "Remnant of crop should - command eight and a half ; cents shortly." This dispatch was shown to a number of cotton men today and their opinion aa to the price of cotton, in the near future is almost a unit. A Raleigh banker, who is always weB posted on the market, and who has dur ing the past season, proven his ability as a forecaster of the condition and price to be brought by the crop, says that there is no doubt but that the price will rise at once. He says that nine cents will be had for the crop within sixty or ninety days and that this is the basis upon which many people will buy during the next few days. A cotton buyer of many years' experi ence in this city says that the price is sure to rise. He maintains that the dis patch sent out by Price, McCormick & Go. is av forerunner of another that will j come during this week or the first of neat, and that will predict the rise to nine cents if tl)e people are long-headed enough to hold' the crop. He says that the scheme is not one of unselfishness on the part of Price, McCormick & Co., or their desire to help the South, but that after raising the price of the raw ma terial and then causing it to drop that firm in New York is again proprietor of an immense quantity of the real stuff and will turn It loose as soon as they can posh the price up again. Their scheme is to get the assistance of the people of the South and to let the latter be part gainers with them in the next sale.- The gentleman quoted is not on--powd to the scheme of the New York brokers, and has already begun to act on their advise and has purchased every thing that be can get bis hands on with out appearing (o be in it too deep. Out of eight other cotton biryers een by a representative of Tbe Times-Visitor, seven believe that the price will rise above eight and a half cents and one that it will go above nine cents. A gentleman: who buys cotton, but who is not on the exchange, says that he is doing go against the advise of some of the safest men in his acquaintance. These, he says, believe that the market should be approached with the greatest caution, and should be given the most vigilant watching, aa, in their opinion, the price may fall any day and certain, ly will not be let to go high without a sudden fall. -.

Pittinger Makes Some I jteresting Comments' REFERS TO DR. SIMMS' SERMON Directs Attentioa oi Congregation to Several Facts Says There are Many Young Mea of Clear Cat Moral Character. Rev. I. McK. Pittenger, rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd, yesterday in his sermon at tbe morning service in his church, referred to the recent ser mon of Dr. A. M. Simms, retiring pas tor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church,, which was reported in these columns and which was a severe attacaV on certain features and practices of society in this city, and since the membership of Dr. Pittemger's congregation compose a large part of the class Dr. Simms referred to, Dr. Pittenger in his remarks from the reading desk, took up tbe subject of card playing and other amusements that have engrossed the attention of society during the past few weeks. Dr. Pittenger's sermon was not of a senstational character. On the other hand it was a talk, straight from the shoulder and placed the subject before his congregation for their consideration rather than giving the views of the rec tor. I His text was: "It eating meat causeth my brother to offend, I will eat no more meat while the world standeth." In the outset Dr. Pittenger disclaimed any intention of condemning card play ing, or other amusements, but stated that his purpose was to present the text tw the congregation and to request that each ask of himself or herself, as the case might be, whether card playing was the proper thing, whether it had . been carried too far; whether it was for tbe good of those who paticipated; whether its influence over those who nave not indulged in card playing was for good or evil and whether it carried with it a wholesome influence to those who wish argument with which to combat the at tacks that are made on evils of a more serious nature. He stated that it was his 'belief that there bad been too much of card play ing during the,past few months and that it had become so in Raleigh that peo ple did not have the time to give to other and worthier objects on' account of the engagements for card parties and other amusements, where, in many in stances, the object of the playing was for the winning of a prize. f , A member of the Church of the , Good Shepherd said today that' Dr. Simms' -sermon had been discussed to such aa ex, tent in social lire tnat vr. nttenger evi dently fcKt that there was need of an swering the statements made by Dr. Simms in retiring. Ir. PSttenger referred to the asser tion of Kev. Dr. Simms in which the latter had said that there were not to be found in Raleigh ten young men of clear-cut, well-defined moral character, and denied tnat such, is the case. Dr. Pittenger went further and stated that he could point out many times that num ber. Yonng men, be said, who were of the clearest-cut and highest moral char acter and who, when put to the test, would stand before any fair-minded critic. The sermon was, not wholly devoted to the subject of tard playing or of amusements among the people of Ral eigh, but the greater part of it was in reasoning with his immediate congrega tion, in presenting to tbe members of the Church of the Good . Shepherd questions that they should consider and answer for themselves. 'His OUestiOns related in the main to card playing' for amuse ment at social gatherings, especially to card playing for prizes, and more es pecially upon giving up to this sort of amusement such a great proportion of time which might be used to better ad vantage to all concerned, as well as ben efitting others instead of leaving with some a reason for criticising. The county commissioners met today in regular monthly session. The morn ing was devoted to routine business. Copt. McGhee of the Frankllnton company, in the State Guard, was In the city today and called at the Adjutant General's office. His company now numbers 49 men. The annual report of Adjutant Gener al B. S.

Washington, Feb. 5. (Special.) TJn less ruled out on a point or order, the House of Representatives will almost, certainly include in the diplomatic and) consular appropriation bill an item pro viding for - the salary of a minister plenipotentiary to the Transvaal.

It is questionable, however, whether anyone will object to its consideration in the first place. The trend of sentiment to wards giving the Boers fair recognitlor is so strong that it is thought that r one will venture to stand out agar it. Mr. William Alden Smith, of M lgun, who proposed tbe amendm says that its adoption will simply to the dignity of the United States f resentative now at Pretoria, witl changing the diplomatic relations of two countries in the least degree - but better judges say that it will K the recognition of the Transvaal a sovereign power and wipe out all cognition of British sovereignty so ;. as this country is concerned.

V j Dr. von Holleben, the German Ant- ( , ! bassador, has presented a formal com- J plaint -under several heads against tbe . y- f customs regulations of the United States so far as they concern German goods. Secretary Hay has transmitted to- Con- , grees a summary of these reports as fol- ; lows: First That the regulations gov-, erning the authentication of invoices by the consnlar officers of the United Stales' confer upon them the power of obtaining from the shippers snah information as might be used to the detriment of the. German trade if disclosed to American competitors. Second.
