Numbers Of farmers have expressed them.
selves unable to pay out their liens, but show
a willingness to pay out as far as they can.
With this disposition general, and liberal
disposition on the part of the merchants, the
troubles likely to arise from the short crop
CAP be bridged over. Trade, however, can
not be expected to be brisk, or at all satisfac-
tory before the maturing Of the crop of 1882.
LAT1MER & HEMPH1LL, Dry Goods and
Groceries.-The cotton crop maturing sooner
this year than usual may cause trade to open
earlier, and business may probably be brisk
for while, but we do not expect it to con.
tinue good for any length Of time.
LATrA Bros, Groceries, think the trade
of this season will be light.
WIrHERs ADIcKEs, Groceries. Thinks
trade will open early, on account of the ne
cessity Of marketing the crop at the earliest
date. While it will open early and probably
be brisk for a while, it will decline and con-
tinue dull until spring.
M. STRAUSS, Dry Goods. s.-The prospect is
rather gloomy. Owing to the short crop, the
people will not be able to pay their indebted
ness by so per cent, and will consequently
buy to a limited extent. He believes the
farmers will endeavor to pay all they can on
their Indebtedness, which will, of course, en-
able the merchants to extend credit, which
they will the more willingly do, when dis.
position has been shown to pay.
KENNEDY BROS. & BARRON, Dry Goods
and Groceries. that trade will open
early and continue reasonably good for a
while, but that it cannot continue satisfactory
throughout the season. The light crop will
affect all branches of trade, and especially
dry goods. Trade in provisions and grocer
les will be good in proportion to the extent
of the crop, which being short, will of course
limit transactions even in necessaries OF life.
j. SMITH & Co., Dry Goods.-Expect
the trade to be small. A fair business may
be done for few months, but it cannot con.
tinue brisk through the season.
w. P. HOBBS, Groceries.-From the gen.
eral outlook, the trade in provisions and gro.
ceries will be good, the demand to a great
extent coming from the country. This de-.
mand, of course, will be occasioned by the
short supply of breadstuffs produced at home.
In other branches of trade he is not prepared
to express an opinion.
CLARK Bros, Groceries. loving to the
short crop, people will, as rule, limit their
purchases, and consequently trade in all
branches will be light rs compared with pre-
vious years.
j. M. ADAMS, Stoves and Tinware.-In his
line of business the effects Of the dull season
are already perceptible, and he anticipates
light trade.
G.H. O'LEARY, Saddlery and Furniture
Thinks in his line of goods trade will be light
in comparison with former years.
J.C. KUYKENDAL, Drugs.-The demand
for drugs or medicines proper, must, as in all
times, be governed by the amount Of sickness
in the country. The demand for paints, oils,
fancy goods, &c, which 60 to make up a
druggists stock, must necessarily be light,
owing to short crops and the stringency con.
sequent thereto. The Doctor says he is more
interested in the matter of making collections
for what he has already sold, than in making
future sales
C.G. PARISH & Co., Groceries-Antici.
pate light trade.
DR.. JOHN MAY, Drugs.-Thinks the trade
in general stock of the drug business will be
light as compared with previous fall seasons:
H. F. ADIcKEs, JR, Dry Goods and
Clothing. g.-Wbile the demand for dry goods
and articles in that Line. will necessarily fall
below that Of recent previous years, he ex.
poets the trade to be fair-say equal to &c
per cent. of last season, in cash transactions.
Staple goods, shoes, &c., will be in full de.
mand, but in many lines of dry goods and
fancy articles, the demand will be light. In
regard to Indebtedness he thinks, with pos
sibly few exceptions, those whom he has ac-
commodated will be able to meet their obliga.
tions in full, and of course he will accommo.
date such persons hereafter.
T. S. JEFFERYs, Banker.-Mr Jeferys
thinks the business of this section will be cut
off at least one half. He arrives at this con-
clusion by the fact that the cotton crop Of the
county will not exceed one.half of the usual
crop, and as all business is regulated by the
product of the staple, it follows that business
transactions cannot 60 beyond that limit.
Money will be scarce and in great demand,
for the reason that We have not the surplus
commodities to command cash and bring it
even at an advanced price, would not yield
the necessary surplus, for the reason that
bread crops and provisions are short. Re-
garding debts contracted for fertilizers and
supplies, Mr.. JefEerys advises that farmers
pay as far as they can, if it takes the last
pound of cotton. Nothing would 60 farther
towards establishing the credit of the farmer
than by showing free disposition to pay as
far as possible. When this disposition is
shown, he does not think there will be great
difficulty in making a satisfactory arrange
ment between debtor and creditor, and enable
the planter to obtain supplies for another sea-
son.
