Notes by the way.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, July II, 1877.
We got aboard of the Texas and Pa.
cifc railroad at Longview junction at
live o clock on the morning of the 10th,
after having spent month at Oyerton,
IN husk county, on our way to the
ountains of East Tennessee. We had
not got fully under healway before we
had run-of. The front trucks of the
car we were in and the rear trucks Of
the next car in front of us. got of the
track, but no damage was done only the
delay OF the train. which caused us to
be about two hours behind time all day
We reached this place at p m, when
we should have been here at $40. and
failing TO get berth on the sleeper. we
concluded to stop and engage berth
for tomorrow, via Memphis.
The Iron Mountain and the Memphis
and Little Rock roads have got into .
snari, and the consequence is that the
public cannot now purchase q ticket
from the agents of either the Texas and
Pacific nor the Iron Mountain roads,
over the Memphis and Little Rock
branch road; neither will they check
your baggage over that road. | could
not get cur baggage checked through to
Knoxville until We reached this place
The crops IN the east III portion
our state. up to the present time. are
good but are needing rain, and if they
do not get it soon, corn will be cut
short fully one half, and cotton also. Ii
rained light showers on Us all day yes.
terday, and at one point just west Of
Arksdeiphia, we had fine shower.
The crops in Arkansas. from Fulton to
this place. looks well as general thing.
but late. and the cotton small.
For the last week, until yesterday.
the weather has been terribly hot, and
! think last Sunday and Monday was
two of the hottest days that ever felt
in life. To-day is much more pleasant
in the shade.
The Arkansas river has been higher,
they say, than at any time since 1874,
and 1t least one-third of the cotton on
the bottom lands has been DESTROYED
by the overflow. More anon,
DALLAS.

HOLD OR SELL.

There are so many vicissitudes ats
tending all crops, either in field or gar
ner that the only safe general rule is to
sell as soon after harvest rs the market
will at all justify. The farmer profits.
unlike those Of the speculator, consist
AS much in prompt sale and the early
relief afforded by the money realized
upon the crop, as in the larger price
which may possibly corne through the
ability to hold at his own risk for a bet
ter price later in the season. But few
Texan farmers are prepared to do with
out the money for the delayed sale; but
lew of them can afford TO carry the risk
OF disaster to the stored crop, be it either
cotton, wheat or bacon Cotton is De
culiarly liable to disaster By fire, and
but fes bales are held over from one
season to another without entailine the
additional expense of re>baling. In.
surance at two per cent would take
huge slice from the sum of profits.
Wheat is usually held at even greater
risk than cotton. Heating, moldiug
and the weevil are its own peculiar and
terrible foes. But little wheat is ever
carried over from one season 10
another in Texas, which entirely
escapes disaster from all these causes
and, in avast majority of instances, the
substantial profits of the crop are lost
in the effort to hold for larger price
even where time Is not SO much of
an object owing to the easy financial
situation Of the farmer. 1t is usually a
good rule TO be OFF with the old crop
before You are on with the new. Nav
and June are our harvest months for
wheat, September and October are our
planting months, and the time inter
vening seems the most natural for dis
posing of the old before taking on the
care of the new crop
There are circumstances, however.
when this rule may be and ought to be
varied. For instance, in case corner
is made against the farmer, and which
drops the price down 70 its minimum
upon the heels of harvest. That must
be met with the best means at hand,
and starvation is the remedy most
plainly indicated Withhold the wheat,
and starye the speculator into terms
IL does not often happen, however, that
the price in Texas can be Influenced by
this means because heretofore local de-
mAnd has come up pretty even with
supply Milling capital is wanted sadly,
and when our own local mills are able
to buy, handle and hold the crop, the
profits Of both the miller and the
farmer viii be enhanced, because the
risk is'divided, equally with thu profits
and both share alike.
Mutual advantages as we'll - mutual
dependence is fast becoming thS1nls
Of trade in this state. The war between
the consumer and the producer IL losing
many Of its old destructive traits. Ths
two parties most concerned are gradual-
~ coming closer and closer together,
and the time between production and
realization must logically b ahortened
in the same ratio. These improvements
are not made without hurting ,omee
