New York, Nov. 19.
For the past two weeks tho cotton
market has remained remarkably steady.
Prices have ranged within 10 points of
5.75 for January delivery. The steudi
ncss is remarkable in view of the heavy
movement. La9t week the in sight
movement as made by Mr. Hester was
537,000 bales and this week it is 541,000
bales. The absorblion of all this cotton
required a large demand, and spinners
and speculators together supplied this.
There has been u large amount of buying
on the sentiment at price ' as the only
argument.
We cannot however pass over the more
practical reasons why cotton should not
now advance.
1st: The large crop which people are
talking more confidently of each week.
2nd. The low pi ice of cotton manufac
tures and what is worse, a poor demand
tor them.
People now talk freely of 10J to 101
and not a few refer to even larger figures.
Tbis means a large movement for weeks
to come.
There is now a large and promiscuous
long interest in the market and we shall
watch witli interest how they bear the
ever Increasing bnrden of accumulating
supplies. Some are sure to grow dic-
Cuuraged from time to time which will
produce periods of depression as support
is removed.

Journal Bi:reau,
Raleigh, N. C. Nov. 20. f
Mr. Pace of Richmond, who desires
the penitentiary to furnish him with
sugar beets, wished 1,000 acres to be put
in that crop, but the penitentiary offi
cials think that too great a quantity. If
he finds that 500 acres will answer they
will put in that quantity.
Slit erinlendeut P r much of the Sol
dier's home says that over 100 applica
tions for admission arc on file. To each
one the answer is given that there is no
room and thai the appropriation cf $5,000
is so small that no more can possibly be
admitted. While there arc 100 on the
roll yet only 70 are present nt any one
time, the railways giving free transpor
tation so that tihout 30 arc always away
on furlough. But for this there would
bo great trouble, Mr. Stronach says.
Miss Mamie Robbins of this city has
typhoid fever. It was at first thought she
had grippe.
An effort is being made to have the
new daily paper make Us inititai ap
pearance Thanksgiving day.
The amount of swamp lands laid by
the State board of education does not
appear to be so precisely known. Some
say 1,000,000 acres; some only 000,000.
Accurate surveys are needed.
Salisbury is to have an electric rail
way, which it is said will also be extend
ed to the new railway shops and town of
Spencer, two miles away.
The positive assertion is made that the
wife of a judge, who has recently hail
much to say about passes, travels on
one.
Senator Pritchaid made a notable
speech at Marshall in defence of James
Payne, who early in the year shot and
killed Sarah Anderson. Payne was ac
quitted. It is difficult indeed to convict
any'onc of murder in tho first degree in
Madison or Mitchell counties.
It is asserted by some people who
ought to know, Republicans, that Super
intendent Smith of the penitentiary will
not be re-elected next March. Smith
says he will make a great snowing tiy
Thanksgiving day, paying off every cent
of the penitentiary's indebtedness. He
appears to be in great spirits. The gener
al public certainly has very little faith in
the present management of the peniten
tiary.
The matter of lower railway freight
rate is being a good deal talked about
in parts of the Piedmont section, and
very long haul of cotton by wagon are
being made, shippers claiming that tbis
Is cheaper.
The assertion is made that P. il. I.) -
brook who was chief nt the State Fair
will be postmaster at Winston.
The telephone officials nay tbev want
to make very extensive and costly im
provement all over the State.
Judge are allowed $2.'0 a year to
cover railway and other expenses. One
Judge av 1700 ought to be allov cd. He
mutt include board and every possible
expense to make the figure so high.
Col. John D. Shaw of Rockingham ays
there is no doubt whatever of the guilt
of John Evan, convicted of rape. The
Mnxton paper asserts it belief in Evans1
Innocenie, and tnys many Richmond
county people so believe. This whole
matter will be regularly placed before the
governor in a day or two, it seems.
The publication of affidavits; one signer
being an Episcopal clergyman, that in a
speech at Rocky Mount Senator Butler
said the Democratic party sought to pro
mote outrages upon women, has aroused
a fresh outburst of anger, privately and
In tbe papers, which may take a very
serious turn. The Senator makes denial
of the statement.
Mr. George T. Leach, who ia now in
Raleigh, was arranging to occupy the
Park hotel at High Point, but It was
burned night before last. The loss is
some $5,500, with 2,500 insurance.
Mia Molander, the Finnish lady who I

A Bepnblicaa official of prominence

There is a moderate improvement in
staple prices and in distribution of
woollen goods, shoes, and hardware in
the region tributary to Chicago, St
Louis, Kansas City and Omaha. In
South Carolina, Tennessee, and Louis
iana, jobbers report a moderate revival
in demand from interior merchants
which represents some of the business
delayed by yellow fever quarantines.
Trade reports from Georgia ami Texas
are quite irregular.
Some eollon planters are compelled to
sell cotton nt a loss to meet advances
made early in the season and have little
or no surplus to buy merchandise. Others
notably in Texas, continue to hold cotton
which delays mercantile collections, and
in some sections lias nil unfavorable in
