CALL TO THE S. C. V.
Major General Norfleet Urg-es the
Formation of amps in North Caro
lina to Keep Sacred the Memory of
Our Dead and the Cause They Held
So T3&r.
To the Sens of Confederate Veterans in
North Carolina:
On the 30th day of last June, in the
city of Kichmond, Va., the camps of the
Sons of Confedeiate Vee.ans, then or
anled, were formed into an associa
tion to be called '-the United Sons of
Confederate Veterans," the same to be
governed by a constitution and by-laws
similar to that of ' The United Confed
erate Veterans," and having depart
ments, divisions, brigades and camps
under a general head.
The State of North Carolina not hav
ing a sufficient number of camps to
form a division. General J. EL B. Stuart,
in accordance with the constitution,
appointed a major general for the di
vision of North Carolina, whose duty
should be to have command of the
camps already formed, to organize oth
ers wherever it can be done, and to put
forth an earnest effort for the good of
the cause, to the end that there may be
instilled into the sons of Confederate
veterans in North Carolina a proper
veneration for the spirit and glory of
their fathers; and to bring them into
association with our organization, that
they may aid in accomplishing the
noble and glorious purpose for which
our organization was formed.
We believe that there exists in the
bosom. of every son of a Confederate
soldier' a love and patriotism for the
holy cause his father held so dear,
which needs but to be stirred to bring
him to Join heart and hands with those
who seek to keep ever fresh the hal
lowed memory of North Carolina's no
ble sons who All a thousand nameless
graves; to keep ever green the turf
which marks the last resting place of
those Jtnown to us; to lend kindly aid
to the survivors of many hard-fought
battles who need our assistance; to
minister to the wants of widows and
orphans; and to build enduring monu
ments to the memory of our intrepid
heroes. This is indeed our purpose, and
for the accomplishment of this our sis
ter States have almost perfect organi
zations. Shall North Carolina be behind? Shall
this State, which of all others of the
South sent more men to the civil war,
be lacking in this work? Let it not be
so, but noble sons of noble fathers
band yourselves together to aid us in
this work. If there is a camp In your
section Join it at once: if not and there
is a camp of Confederate Veterans, se
cure the aid of its commander and ad
jutant and form a camp; write to the
division headquarters and you will be
furnished with Information In regard
to the formation of a camp, election of
officers, or any other aid which may be
needed. When you are properly or
ganized your camp will be placed on the
roll of "the United Sons of Confederate
Veterans," you will have representation
in the annual meetings, and then it will
be that keener and deeper interest will
be taken in the work; and many an old
soldier's heart In North Carolina will be
made glad to see the cause he loved
safely guarded by .strong and dt-voted
hands, who will minister to his wants
in declining years, and finally lay him
away to sleep beside his comrades till
the last bugle call, inscribing his name
with the cause for which he gave the
best years of his life on the tablets of
immortal history Jn letters that can
never fade.

INDIA AND HER SCOURGES.
Philadelphia Record.
India is one of the most dens;ly popu
lated cuntiiP8 of the world. In British
India the births per year are computed
at S.382,000 against 7.164,000 deaths,
showing during years of ordinary
healthfulness an increase in the popu
lation cf over one million. The great
mass cf the inhabitants are poor, and
th production of foodstuffs lne the
most favorable seasons Is not largely
In excess of consumption. The past
year having been a year of scarcity, a
famine now prevails In some portions
of the country, adding vastly to the dif
ficulty in staying the ravages of the
plague. Ninety per cent, of the strick
en victims die. The appalling misery
of the situation admits cf no adequate

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
Cotton Makes an Advance of About 10
Points and Closes Steady.
Special By Private Wire to Harrison
Watts.
New York, Jan. 19. The early Liv
erpool cables this morning were disap
pointing, and prices here opened 2 to 5
points lower. But Liverpool rallied af
ter the early transactions and prices
here slowly advanced. The estimated
receipts at the ports for the day were
light and the interior receipts were also
moderate, while there was a small de
mand for local account, including some
covering of shorts. The receipts at the
ports proved to be even smaller than
the early estimate. The spot markets
In the country were firm; there was an
increased demand on the spot here, ar. i
Manchester advices were favorable, in
spite of talk of curtailment of produc
tion as a result of the plague In India.
Prices advanced 7 to 10 points, closing
steady, with sales of 114,200 bales. New
Orleans advanced 7 points. Liverpool
was unchanged on the spot, with sales
of 8,000 bales. Futures there advanced
2 to 2Vi points. In Manchester yarns
and cloths were quiet. The port re
ceipts to-day were 21.029 against 30,216
last week and 24,693 last year; thus far
this week S0.281 bales against 80.&39
thus far last week. The exports from
the ports were 21,370. New Orleans ex
pects to-morrow 6,500 to 7,500 against
6,065 last week and 6,896 last y'ar;
Houston expects 3,500 to 4.000 against
2,303 last week and 3.224 last year. Au
gusta received to-day 571 against 249
last week and 462 last year; Memphis
510 against 881 and 520; St. Louis 718
against 302 and 273; Houston 6,463
against 9.410 and 5,475. Memphis ship
ped to-day 1,549. St. Louis 3,498 and
Houston 5.097. Spots here advanced,
1-18, with sales of 1,641 for export and
104 for spinning; 300 were delivered on
contract; middling 7 against 8 5-16
last year. Mobile declined 1-16.
McINTYRE & WARD WELL.
WHEAT SUFFERS A
FURTHER
DECLINE.
Chicago, Jan. 19. The local feeling in
wheat to-day has been bearish, and the
market suffered some decline in con
sequence, but not as much as the sell
ing and heavy feeling would seem to
warrant. Below 80c there seems to be
some resistence and prices show a less
inclination to decline than when above
that figure. The weakness of local se
curities perhaps had some Influence, but
the chief factor, that which has been
prevailing for some time. Is the bearish
attitiude of some of our large local
traders and some St. Louts profession
als, who are taking advantage of the
light speculative trade to bring about a
decline. Scalpers are naturally taking
the side which appears at present to be
the more popular, and it may be that
this selling will create a large short in
terest, perhaps too large for the good
of the bears. Liverpool closed id. low
er. Continental markets were un
changed, with the exception of Paris,
which was 10 centimes higher. The of
ficial figures on the world's wheat ship
ments proved smaller than v. as esti
mated yesterday, the total amount
from all exporting countries being 4,
132,000 bushels against 4,589,000 the week
previous and 5,148,000 last year. Brad
street made a decrease in the world's
visible of about 4,000,000. The cash
business was light. St. Louis reported
about 50,000 Bold, while some 25,000
were sold from here, with a little ex
port business at the seaboard. Clear
ances were light, 165,000 bushels. Our
market closed rather weak at the low
point of the day, or c. lower than yes
terday. Corn and oats were again weak, es
pecially the latter. The trade has been
much lighter than yesterday, with no
speculative feature.
Provisions were weak and lower, on
selling by longs. They were also in
fluenced by the decline in grain.
LAMSON BROS. & CO.
COTTON LOOKS RATHER BETTER.
Special to the Observer.
New York, Jan. 19 The market wore
a healthy aspect to-day. In the absence
of support from Liverpool, there was
some liquidation of long cotton in the
early trading and March declined to
6.96, but Liverpool- rallied and quiet
buying caused an advance here.
March selling up to 7.06. At this point
there was much selling to realize
profits, and March reacted to 7.03. But
the weakness was of short duration.
There were more buyers than sellers
and prices again rallied. The close was
steady at about the best of the day,
March being 7.057.06. No one can say
-hat there may not be another slump.
That is a question of rec jipts. But
whether cotton goes up or goes down,
wo believe that we have seen the wor"t
and we favor buying, especially upon
breaks. The Improvement in the dry
goods trade and more cheerful advices
from Fall River strengthen our confi
dence in the future of cotton.
RIORDAN & CO.
THE STOCK MARKET SCORES A
GENERAL GAIN.
By Southern Associated Press.
New York, Jan. 19. Advances in the
stock market were quite general to
day. The reactionary tendency yester
day was due to extensive realizations
and sales for short account ended ab
ruptly with the opening of business
this morning, the firmness of the Lon
don market, the reduction in the dis
count rate of the Imperial Bank of
Germany and advices from Washington
that the Cameron resolutions on the
Cuban question would be shelved, all
contributing to the strength of the local
speculation. Before the expiration of
the first half-hour of business Sugar
ran off a point on the announcement of
a reduction of l-16c. in prices of re
fined sugars, and the general list yield
ed 44 per cent, in sympathy, but the
decline was soon recovered and as the
day wore along material advances on
the closing figures recorded. The rec
ognized bulls gave their specialties ef
fective support and commission houses
generally reported numerous outside
orders, the demand being stimulated by
the reactions of y- to 1 per cent, in the
market and the Inability of the bears
to shake out long stock. The continued
low rates of money also exert an Im
portant influence on the security mar
kets. Consolidated Gas led the upward
movement, rising ZVt per cent, to 148 on
rumors that the efforts making at Al
bany to reduce the price of gas from
J1.25 to Jl per 1,000 will result in the
adoption of a compromise measure. Su
gar, which figured for nearly one
fourth of the entire day's business,
moved up from 116 to 1181 on reports,
which are not credited in usually well
informed quarters, that a settlement
of the war between the company and
Arbuckle Brothers was imminent. The
advance otherwise was equal to h to
14 per cent., outside of Manhattan,
and American Spirits, perferred, which
jumped ' about 2 points. Chicago Gas
rose IVi to 79. the highest point in a
long time. There has been heavy out
side buying of this stock for some days
on the belief that the bill to permit the
constituent companies to consolidate
will be passed by the Illinois Legisla
ture in the near future. The dealings
aggregated only 227,331 shares, but they
were well distributed. Speculation
closed firm in tone, at a small reaction
from the highest. Net changes show
advances of Vk to Vt per cent.. Sugar
leading. In the specialties Consolidated
Gas gained 3V4 per cent.
The bond market was firm. The
transactions aggregated $2,273,000.
Treasury balances: Coin $122,630,243;
currency S4S.480.e83.
t;HE DRY GOODS MARKET.
New York. Jan. 19. The Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin,
in its weekly review of the dry goods
trade, says:
Although there have been no appar
ent developments in the market here
during the past week in cotton goods, j
tne tendency naa. been towards an im
proved, business, and at the close the
general tone shows a slight gain in
cheerfulness. Buyers have been tn
very fair attendance, helping business
along on the -spot ' at first bands and
imparting a more active appearance to
the Jobbing trade, whilst, the orders
wnsunsL to aud T mail um ot ever-
ran .recent averages. 'It a noteworthy
that the gain has been made entirely in
the way of small, to quit moderate
transactions, there being no disposition
evinced on the part of buyers to indulge
in fuller Individual operations in any
direction.- It Is lar that the general
run of cotton-goods buyers are work
ing in close stocks, and an expanding
business under such conditions is an
encouraging indication of considerable
distributions in progress throughout the
country. Almost - eheerrut in senti
ment, the market lay not actually any
firmer than a week ago. Fancy spring
fabrics have sold fairly without change
in prices. Much, the nest business of
the week wan done in gray cloths of the
print cloth order, large sales of business
being made at yall Kiver ana else
where and producing a firmer tone. Ru
mors of short time in the -Fall River
mills are still prevalent, and a number
of other New England concerns are re-
portea to -be contemplating a curtail
ment of production. In the woolen
goods division conditions continue sat
isfactory, and the season in new heavy
weights is unusually backward. Dress
goods have been moderate request. Col
lections are generally satisfactory.
