During the past week, we have no
ticed a considerable amount of cotton
brought into town and disposed of to
different buyers, at prices varying
from thirty to thirty-four cents per
pound.
A great many parties are purchas
ing for Charleston factors, which
causes considerable competition, re-
snlting to the benefit of the farmers.
We would advise our friends in the
District to look around we'll before
they sell, and see where the highest
prices can be obtained for this all
important staple. This cotton ulti-
mately finds its way into the hands
OF the Yankees. and we should have
no compunction i'll regard to exact
ing the highest possible price from
them. -

have totally failed this season. and
cotton is the only thing left to ex-
change for provisions and other ne
cessaries until the approach of the
next season. Long live the short
staple.
