Cotton Covered Bales Still Coming

Despite the circumstances which might
combine to frighten the farmers from the use
of cotton baggipg, the staple still continues to
come in wrapped In this covering. The Brit.
ish steamship Ardancorrach, which Will sail
in day or two, will carry about one.fourth
of her cargo of $500 bales in cotton covers.
The other steamers now loading at this port
will in all probability carry even larger pro-
portions OF cotton covered bales, as the re.
ceipts are growing every day, and the far
mers are in oil parts Of this State using the
cotton bagging very extensively.
"I don't see why the cotton covers cannot
come into use everywhere" said merchant
Yesterday "the Alliance men seem deter
mined TO use 1t, and 1t is all nonsense to talk
about their not being able to get 1t. This
might be the case this year, but when the
mills see that there is a demand Tor IL they
ties as to supply that demand. II they are
not prepared this season they will have all
the necessary machinery by next mll, and and
anybody can buy all he wants OF 1t. The
awake TO let an opportunity like this for
making money pass, and you can depend on
1t that wherever there is a demand for any
commodity whatever, the American man
ufacturers will supply 1t. and they can't be
bought off by the trusts either"
The following extract from the Charlotte
Chronicle seems to indicate that the farmers
in that locality are winning the fight:

brought to their knees. There can be no
doubt that the work Of the Alliances in favor
Of cotton bagging has been serious II not
a fatal blow to the Jute Bagsing Trust. Capt,
S. B. Alexander says that the trust has offered
the Alliances that If they will 60 back to the
use OF jute bagging it will be sold at SH cents
on time and that the Jute Trust Will pay the
farmers 50 more per ton for their cotton seed
than is offered nj any of the cotton seed oil
mills. This is proof positive that the jute
gentlemen are in hard straits and it ought
their decision 10 stick to cotton bagging."
It could not be ascertained yesterday
whether such an offer had been made to the
farmers In this State, although If 1t has, they
as the cotton covered bales still continue to
como in in large quantities.

Cotton and Cotton Seed.


About one hundred and fifty bales of cot
ton were sold In this market since last Tues
day. Prices have ranged for good samples
from 9A to 10 cents.
I The oil mill gin has been running more y
less every day. Fl
Messrs, G, s. Wilson 4 Co., started theif two
gins yesterday and packed few bales Of cot
ton. Their gins run beautifully, ana are fed
by feeders. Il
: or the cotton sold here considerably part
was packed In cotton bagging. All the bales
which were packed in regular cotton baggng'
stood the test of the ho9ks in quite salts
factory manner. onetbale. however, which
was covered with oHer kind OF white cloth
was considerablyIorn.
Cotton seed, ,8 pounds to the bushel, Is be-
ing bought atwenty cents, being the highest
point yet Rached at Abbsville,
Thirt pounds is said to be the standaro oi
lawf% weight of bushel of cotton seeo'
tho6ph we are told that In different markets.
Inherent rules obtain. There can DO ho
price per bushel, unless there Is a
standard bushel.
The cotton Is being weighed at the scales on
the public square and ut the dePo' "' '''

q; Cotton seed is weighed by all buyers iree
OF cost TO the seller. ~ 10,
The seed from all the cotton which mas
been ginned in town, is believed to have oeen
sold here, and many loads of seed from other
gins have come to town. and now the cotton
seed Is being regarded as no less part Oh the
CROP than oats, wheat, corn, or anything else.
We believe this the correct view to take OF
IL. The seed Is now worth nearly nith o'
the lint ITSELF
owing to the dampness. or green conditioh
Of the cotton seed, planters seem anxious 10
sell, and while there are plenty of buyers yet
we believe majority are buying with some
miselying as to the expsdiency OF the act.
The farmers are wisely fastening their co'-
ton and cotton seed on the market. Pronpt
picking and quick selling insure gooo
weights, and the people are beginning 10
realize the fact that 1t is well to dispose o'
their crops as soon as gathered.
The dry weather has had the effect OF open
ing the cotton very rapidly during the last
week, and every energy has been directed 10
gathering 1t.
It is said that rain would do good TO tne
cotton crops.

Not Dead.

William Marshall. was not slain by Leon

paper. We believe the statements are sub

shall's death. He has recovered from his in

The circumstance, however, furnishes one
more fact to prove that match games of base
ball are not to be desired or encouraged.

ChurLeston World.

In the matter of bagging, the World makes
the FOLLOWING suggestion which must COM
mend itself 10 the good judgment Of the cot
ton men Of Charleston, as we'll as 10 the far
mers, as a satisfactory arrangement concern
ing the question of bagging, and that is that
for every cotton covered bale the exporters
shall allow the farmer one-eighth Of cent
uer pound above the current price for jute-
covered cotton.
weight OF q cotton-covered bale Is greater by
several pounds than that of a jute.covered
bale. and the difference in the net weight, in
favor OF the cotton.covered bale, Is fully sum
cient to reimburse the exporter for this in
crease Of one-eighth Of a cent per pound, in
the price.
The planter IL entitled to this, and we are of
otton trade OF Charleston, for the parties
ferested to meet as soon as possible, and
lie. at once aud for all. this much veNed
