says: "FrOm all directions we hear that
the crop is opening rapidly, and it is likely
our September receipts ct the staple will be
by far the heaviest on recOni. From this
fact, as well as the forced economy Of the
people throughout the season, the compare
tive light cost Of making the crop, and the
fact that bills payable are lighter than at
this period in any season since the war,
most Of our leading merchants refuse to
share in bankers aporehensions of extra
ordinary and long continued financial close
ness in connection with the marketing of
the crop. That money is flowing actively
to the country at this early period should
not surprise anybody who watches the
course Of trade. II is due to the earlier
maturing Of the crop and the financial
needs Of planters and country merchants.
Finances are always close when the crop
has 10 be moved, and this season is no ex-
ception save in that as a result Of the earlier
maturity of the crop the stringency will
probably be Of a briefer duration than is
usually experienced
