New York, Nov. 18-Cotton has of
fered a stubborn resistance to anything
of a depressing character, Time after
time it haa demonstrated a certain
strength which has defied bears and
othars. It might decline, but it speed-
ly rallied. The crop might be estimat
ed as high as 16,000,000 bales, but far
mers have refused to sell freely. Many , roa( haa consummated a deai through

a big crop, even 15,000,0i)0 to 16.000,000
bales, has been amply discounted in the
big decline in prices since Inst Summer.
It ii pointed out, too, that a grown crop
is one, thing, a commertial crop, or a
crop actually sent to market is another
thing. The commercial crop may be
much smaller than the one actually
raised. The South, it is added, has in
the past shown its ability to hold buck
cotton and what has been miy be again.
The exports are large. La-go spot in
tereit have been big buyer t of Decem
ber and other near months. One of
them in 48 hours, it is said, bought
100,000 bales of January. The revision
of differences here on Wednesday is
construed by some as bullish. Some
half dozen well known Liverpool houses
at one time bearish, are now bullish in
their conviction. The N itional din
ners' figures up to November llith,
weie 11,478.000 bales as against expec
tations of 150,000 to 200,000 bales more
than this. Liverpool houses have been
buying here.
So to some extent have Americnn
spinners. Hears have, as a rule, be
come more cautious. Many of them
have covered and have been watching a
market that somehow refused to go
down. Yet there are still bears. They
point to the Chinese news as portend
ing poor trade in China, to the report
that China is cancelling large orders in
Lancashire where some of the mills nre
it is said, shutting down on that ac
count and to the fact that at best there
is no very decided improvement in trade
in this county where the taking by
Northern spinners at least continue to
run considerable behind those of last
year. They think that holding back
cotton at the South will in the end
prove a boomerang. The into-sight
movement is large. Stocks at the ports
are liberal and they are piling up at the
interior towns. Here at New York the
market 'has' gotten into a sort of dead
lock. Farmers will not sell freely, nor
will spinners and others, as a rule, buy
except cautiously. Ellisons says that
mills in Lancashire are reported to he
topping owing to the war in China.
Spot markets are quiet. T.ie weather
of late has been generally favorable,
though it now threatens to income very
cold in tne western belt. The South
still, as a rule, holds firmly around nine
cents and the whole market haH got in
to a rut. What is to extricate it re
mains to be seen. Prices are somewhat
lower for the week, but bears have
won no successes to boast of. For that
matter, neither have the bulls. The
East Indian crop is estimated by Ralli
at 4,400,000 bales, or 500,000 bales less

the Aberdeen and Ashboro.The Raleigh
and Southnort railroad is operating
from Raleigh to Fayetteville and build
ing from Lillington to Sanford; the
Aberdeen and Ashboro railroad, or
Page road, his an important line from
Aberdeen, Moore county, up through
Montgomery county, into Randolph to
Ashboro, with trackage privileges over
the Southern railway into High Point,
anil the Durham and Southern railroad,
an impotant line from Durham, through
Wake and Harnett counties, to Dunn,
connecting with the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad there.
The Ni'ws and Observer states today
upon authority that the Norfolk South
ern Railway Company, and interests al
lied with that company, have purchased
from Mr. John A. Mills and his asso
ciates the Raleigh and Southport Rail
road and all its properties. It has also
purchased from Mr. Lenning and his
associates the railroad known as the
Durham and Charlotte road, which is
now and has been for years in operation
from Cumnock to Troy. The Norfolk
Southern will construct this road from
Raleigh to Concord, either under its
own charter or under the charter of the
Raleigh, Charlotte and Southern Rail
road obtained from the last Legislature
by leading citizens between Raleigh
and Charlotte and purchased some
weeks ago by Mr. E. C. Duncan, acting
for himself and his associates, his as
sociates now turning out to be the Nor
folk Southern Railway Company.
TWO OF DEALS DENIED.
Troy, Nov. 18 It is reported here
tonight on good authority that all hold
ings of the Asheboro & Aberdeen Rail
road Co. have been sold to the Sea
board Air Line. The deal was consum
mated at Biscoe today. The Asheboro

deen to Asheboro, from Pinehurst to
Carthage, from Candor to Ellerbe and
from Uiucoe to Mount Gilead.
Durham, Nov. 18-Vice President J.
E. Slaijg of the Durham & Southern
Railway said tonight, in answer to a
query as to that road being included in
the deal whereby the Norfolk Southern
absorbs several roads:
"I know nothing of other roads, of
course but as for the Durham & South
ern, you may cay it is not included in
the deal. I haveVt heard a word about
any such deal and know it doesn't exist
so far us ours is concerned.
Ooosidefed a Victory. Women
WaBtpi'perty Qualihca
ti&jr$tan of Voting.
London, Nov. IT. Led by Miss Chris-
tabel Pank hurst, a big delegation of
suffragettes in conference with Pre
mier Asquith, Chancellor of the Ex
chequer Lloyd-George, Foreign Secre
tary Sir Edward Gray and First Lord
of Admiralty Churchill concerning the
inclusion of votes for women in the
manhood suffrage bill the administra
tion will shortly introduce in Parlia
ment. It is significant of the suffragettes
increasing influence in English politics
that Premier Attquith, who has hitherto
steadfastly refused to receive such dep
utions, made a definite appointment
ment with the present one for a confer
ence at his official residence and asking
the leading members of his ministry to
be present at the conference.
The suffrage bill the administration
contemplates provides for the abolition
of the existing British system of plural
voting by large property owners and
the establishment of just such a one
man-one-vote system as prevails in the
United States.
The women had already been offered
the ballot on a property qualinYaron
and were willing to accept the proiiot-i
tion as an "entering wedge," as their
leaders expressed it.
Many Liberals, with Lloyd-George at
their head, refused to sanction the plan.
however, on the ground that it would
increase the conservative vote. Lloyd
George at any rate favors equal sutf
rage, but without the property qualiti
cation. An attempt is now being made
to reach a compromise between the
conflicting factions.
A strong cordon of police surrounds
the Premier's residence as a precaution
against a suffragette demonstration
while the conference is in progress.
