CAUSE OF THE Low PnIrE or Corroy.
Ihe Cotton Planters Of the South will find
an easy and reasonable explanation of the
cause which have led to the low prices of
the staple this year in the official report Of
the statlsticlan of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. The prices have not
been affected by the volume of money in cir
culation, by the absence Of free silver coinage
or by any other Of the many causes alleged
ny the economic quacks who have attempted
10 turn the present condition Of the farmers
10 their own pol teal account; bat they have
Deen regulated by the law Of supply and
demand This point is made clear by the
report Of the statistician, rho says that lin
TWO years this country has produced an
excess above the normal requirements of
more than "two million bales and that the
only possible remeiy for this condition of
affairs is to be found in the heavy reduction
OF the cotton acreage. The c,tton States,
says the statisician, must be ngriculturallv
sef-sustaining and new crops must be intri-
duced, as the agricultural population has
outgrown the capacity Of cotton to support

winter was last Saturday aud Sunday. Al
most everybody come to the conclusion that
the fruit and all vegetables in the garden
were killed. We, however, are glad to state
that We were "morc scared than hut" But
few vegetables were injured, and we arc
told that the forward caches and pums arc
only partially injured.

JoNEsNILLE, March 2l.-Last Friday
night WAS one of The coolest nights for this
late i'll March ever experienced by any of our
present generation. The peach pear and
plum fruit is much injured. Some early
gardeners have suffered in the loss of carly
vegetables, though this damage was light.
owing t. the late Spring. | have not heard
of any complaint about the oat crop, and
therefore don,t think that crop has suffered
on account of the cod snap. The farmers
were about ready to commence planting
thelr carly corn, and some had planted, but
they will have to defer further planting for
u few days.

After a struggle and much hard work
yesterday the Union street ferry cable
was stretched across the Columbia, and
the boat was attached to it last evening.
But on account of injuries which the
cable has received during high water,
probably on account Of jagged rocks on
the bottom it parted inIthe center of
the river on the first trip across, and the
boat is again compelled to run loose.
