Owing to the fault hat q higher price
was being paid for grain on the Chicago

the elevators ut Fandrau much of the
grain tributary to that point has been
marketed at Northwestern towns. To
remedy this and TO hold their trade the
merchants of Flandrau purchased a
warehouse. and On Monday began to buy.
The result has been that the elevators
got very little grain since, and later they
refused to pay for and take in any grain
at Flandrau, but would give the farmer
o check on their buyers at Egan, where
he would receive three cents per bushel
more than the market price. Very few
of the farmers availed themselves of the
offer, preferring to sell to the merchants
at the market price. The citizens of

The season OF 1875 opened with rather a
gloomy outlook, and brokers and bankers felt
that they were still far from being out Of the
woods in financial AFFAIRS. As the winter
passed away money became very plentiful
and the rates ON loans were lower than ever
before, but this did not help the security
market, and railroad stocks North, south.
East ami West continued sluggish. But a.
the weeks passed YEARLY along a better feel
ing in some business circles commenced TO
show itself, and merchants and bankers took
heart and looked TO the future with more
hopeful feelings. Then came a marked inn
provemcnt IN the railroad situation, and
s'OutsiderB" once again commenced buying
this class Of stocks. During All thls trying
period Southern railway stocks have lold
thlir on better than those Of any part OF the
country, and now that "a change for the better
seems probable, We may hope to see them
again advanced % the figures OF three years

CRO PROSPECTS.
The outlook for the Sea Is land crop the pres
ent year was never brighter. Reports give in
dications OF another large crop, in fact larger
than the one Just marketed. Planters along
the line OF TIE Central road, and also in the
counties Of Pierce. Brooks, Lowndes and in
sections as high up Is a merlcus a. well as in
portions of Florida which have heretofore
been confined to the production Of uplauds.
have turned their attention to sea Islands
ard have planted more largely than ever. If.
therefore, the crop suffers no great injury
even lower prices than prevailed last season
are improbable, especially as the reports in
dictate a large crop in Egypt. II is q well
known faet that the best grades of Egyptian
cOttOns are generally worked in with the com
monest grades Of sea Islands by the European
manufacturers
The reports from some sections, as usual.
show that the caterpillar is at work, but with
very little damage to the plant itself. The
impression prevails that while the season Is
late the crop is too far advanced for much
damage from this source. In other sect Ons
there are complaints Of rust, aud that the
fruit Is scant on account of i%ngrOwing weeds
and height Of the stalks. Drawbacks, how
ever, appear TO be only local. If there are no
other sources OF damage there is no reason
why there should not be a large as well as an
excellent crop.
