A Prosperous and Successful sta
tionery House.

This we'll known andpopular house,
with characteristic enterprise, has re-
ceived and throw open for inspection
early in the season a large and varied
stock of holiday goods, including lotsoi
fancy papers, pictures, albums and
many other articles. These will, as a
matter Of course, be sold at
something of a sacrifice now
to make room for other goods
and certainly somewhat cheaper than
on the eve Of the holidays when the
rush sets in and the demands greater.
Ladies, by calling at this establish
ment, can have the advantage Of ex-
aiming and purchasing goods quietly,
and at prices greatly in their favor.
This house continues to sell school
books of all kinds by retail at whole
sale prices. In pursuing this course,
it has saved for the people Of Mem
phis several thousand dollars in the
last twelve months. Such a liberal
policy deserves recognition and a gem
erouS support.

CROP REPORT.
For the Month Of October In the
Memphis District.

The recent crop reports issued BY
the bureau Of statistics for the Mem
pbis cotton exchange. was hung on the
blackbOarls Of that institution early
this forenoon by Secretary Gates, and
a. always, it attracted much attention.
A summary shows that responses have
been received 10 circulars seeking in
formation from lZ persons, Of which
IL sere from West Tennessee, 43 from
North Mississipp., and IS from Ar
kansas. A number were also re-
ceiYed from North Alabama. The
following is a synopsis:
WEATHER.-Yey unfayorable with
excessive rains, and cloudy weather is
reported BY 70: moderately favorable,
q: favorable. -; compared with Dc
tober last year, 1O3 report much less
hvorsble on account Of excessive rains,

able.
FRosT.-All report frost, the
frat between the 3th aud 18th. Nearly
all report succeeding frosts that
killed vegetation. but all report that
no damsge had been done to cotton
On the contrary it is considered as
having benefited it by checking the
growth, killing the foliage and expos
ing the bolls to sun and winds.
CRoP PIcRINa.-Progress in pick,
ing is reported 7ariously at from Is to
rs per cent having been gathered;
averaging a. per cent. The dates
given for completion range from
November 10th 70 January Slst; ever.
aging December 9th.
YIELD.-A decrease Of yield from
10 70 30 per cent is reported by III,
about the same by 10, an increase Of
5 TO 10 per cent over last year by s.
average, % per cent decrease per acre
from last years yield.
SUNDRY.-Througbout this en-
tire department there is great
complaint pf continual rot.
ting, especially Of the latter por-
ton Of the crop, owing to the almost
in 'essant rains. Much Of this portion
of the crop is partially open, but, not
receiving sufficient sunshine or dry
wind absorbs the rain and decays.
Much has not opened at all, that
would make good stained cotton, but
which must prove entirely worthless
without fair weather at an early date.
On Mississippi river bottom lands,
and in many parts Of Arkansas, there
is serious complaint Of a lack Of labor.
ers TO save the crop. The only attrib-
utablc reason is inducements offered
to work on railroads. In some por-
tons of Tennessee and Mississippi
upland regions considerable complaint
is made Of disbursement Of cropping
laborers, owing to the very short crop,
and bad weather causing much indif-
ference toward saving the crop.
