! SOUTH CAROLINA-From our CORES
| pond6utS We have cheering accounts
from most OF the State. The Cotton
crop though late is fine looking, grow
| ing we'll, and the stand a fair one. The
weather has been favorable tor "chop-
ping out " and keeping it clean, the
few rains have not been too much for
it, and altogether the prospect is en-
couraging. The ability of the planters
to work it through wlthout obtaining
| advances to any extent Is daily more
| apparent, nearly all the coauties have
Corn enough to last through the sea-
son the supply OF Bacon Is not ample,
but they will not need half as much as
last year the small Grain crops arr
fair :; the Oats being raped now, so
that forage will be plentiful. The
whole condition shows the 7alue of the
advice which the Journal has offered
for the past four years, raise enough
Corn and Bacon to supply your farm,
and make Cotton your money crop"
Tue Corn crop looks we'll aud is grow
ing inely, in better condition than
last year at this time.
North CARoLISA-The Cotton plan
ters nave had considerable difficulty i'll
getting stand, but it is now an aver
age one Corn is rather backwa :;
small Grain crops fair aEd the pros
pect much more encouraging than two
weeks ago The acreage III Cotton has
been little Increased, the land gen
orally pIt Ill better order, and Witti al
average season there is no doubt we
shall make more than last year. The
wisdom OF the farmers il raising all
the 70 ;isions they could last year,
shows itself and is every day more
and more apparent.
COMMERCIAL EPlTOME The
week III trade circles has again been
quiet one, business in the principal
staples with a few exceptions being
confined almost entirely to supplying
the immediate want of consumers, and
trade movement have been marked by
40 features of spe cial interest.
Naval Stores and Cotton continue
very quiet with no demand beyond the
actual requirements Of exporters, and
when these are filled, the market
drops back into q dull and inactive
state.
The Money market throughout has
been ct aracterized with ease. The
supply of currency is equal 10 the de
mands, and the rates OF discount are
unchanged.
The shipments for the week both
cocstwise and foreign of naval stores
and cotton as compared with last week
were as follows Cotton 8l9 bales,
spirits turpentine 4, 434 casks, rosin
L, 9i3 bbls., crRde turpeHtlne $50
bbls., tar SIT bbls, against Cotton
575 bales, spirits turpentine 1904
casks, rosin 1910 bble, crude tur-
pentine l bb's, tar $50 bbls., for the
last week
Ocean freights have been as active
this week as last, but the supply of
tonnage offering has not been large.
The chief features # the market and
the changes of prices of most OF the
leading products and manufacture for
the week were as follows:
COTTON-A very quiet market for
cotton has prevailed during the past
week; in fact we might state that we
have had no market at all, as We have
heard of no sales transpiring. No
changes have decreased in official
quotations since our last. The offer
1ngs are very light and holders show
considerable Indifference. The mar
ket at the close is quiet and easy.
Advices regarding the new crop are all
of favorable nature.
The receipts for the week were as
