News and Courier, 9Th.
Every face on the floor of the Cotton
Exchange yesterday wore smile, ana
the whole place assumed more cheer
full look than had been noticed IN the
vicinity since the season first opened.
The cause of the general air OF satlsfac-
ton could soon be learned, for every
BODY was talking about it, and when
Secretary Tavel gave the Reporter for
the News and Courier the figures OF the
cotton receipts there was pleased eN-
preston on his face which was encour-
aging indeed. n,
The receipts to-day" said Mr.. Tavel,
"are not only larger than those OF any,
previous day this year, but far exceed
those of the same day in 1888. We have
$50 bales against 67S for last year, and
I think YOU can safely say that the re-
ceipts will keep well ahead to the END
of the season. The crop just beginning
to come in rapidly, and with this beau
tiful weather, which is prevailing every
where over the State, the cotton Will
open very fast, and in a few days the
flood tide of business will be on US"
The season so far has been very tine
for cotton harvesting, and the numoer
of bales reported received is increasing
every dav. It is fact worthy OF note
that lust at this time last year the re.
ceipts began to fall off very largely, and
although the season opened better tnah
it did this year, on toward the !oth Oh
the month scarcely two hundred oales
a dav were received. This, of course,
was caused by the great floods IN the
northern and western parts OF the state,
and the heavy rains which prevailed
everywhere. The foods were especially
severe along the lands lying on the
Savannah River, from which Charles
ton gets most of her early cotton, ana
the amount of the crop that came IN
during the middle of September was
consequently very small. But there
have been NO rains nor floods this year,
and although the weather bureau was
kind enough to predict cyclone day
or two ago, the said cyclone, much to
the satisfaction of all parties interested,
failed to keep its engagement, ana the
weather remains perfect. The cotton IS
opening beautifully in the fields every
where. and the farmers have no reason
to be anything else but happy. Inc
price is up, and no Indications OF an
early depression have as yet made their
appearance, and the farmer who can
sell his cotton now will get good money
for it.
Much of the staple coming in now IS
covered with cotton bagging, and the
farmers in all sections of the State seem
to be determined to use it as much as
possible. It is turning out much better
than was at first expected. and goes
through the compress about as Well as
lutte. in fact, of large number Of COM
pressed bales lying on one OF the lower
wharves awaiting shipment yesterday,
those clad in cotton in a great many
instances were less torn than those IN
jute.
The European Exchanges have taken
no action on the subject of coverings as
vet. as the demand for the new crop is
so pressing they are willing to take any
cotton sent them. 1t is possible that
some action will be taken when the
demand is lessened by the increased
receipts, however, and all cotton men,
both planters and factors, are awaiting
the decision quite anXiously.. Some OF
the bales IN cotton which have been
sent here have been recovered, although
this has only been in rare cases. ,
The consignment of one hundred
bales in cotton covers, which was
purchased by Mike Brown at Black
Vile on Thursday, has not yet reached
this city, but will probably be in this
