put ou the bureau report Of today =ex-
eept that it means a dlsastrously
small crop, and We believe decidedly
under $500 ,0o0. Whether the short
interest in the three contract markets
can by the persistent hamner;ug Of
prices cheaper fhe commodity itself aud
force spot holders to liquidate at spin
ne7s' prices is question that must be
left largely to the producer Keep
we'll in mind that Europe consumed
more of American last year than our
total crop will amount 10 this year,
and 200. GOO less than our total exports
last year. The United States will
require this season 800, 600 more 'nan
their consumption last year. when it
was 2.700. 900 Therefore. is 1t any
wonder spiouers and short sellers
should consider it hardship that they
should be at the mercy of the people
who have grown this crop? But would
not tbis de retributive justice? 1t re-
mains to be seen whether ;hey can be
successful in depressing spots merely
because they chose to Try and demor-
alize the contract market today. The
South holds the whip hand They
must see that Europe probaly can only
get 8, 10000 out Of the crop, against
900. 900 last year. and they seem
likely to be able to get onl y from US
something over one half of their total
American consumption last season
This crop has prooaly been cut short
by frosts Of the past forty.eight hoors

preaching State Fair.

The following address to the ladies
of Columbia and this county, issued
yesterday by the citizens committee in
charge of the arrangements for the
coming State fair. makes call that

To the Ladies of Columbia and
Richland County j:
The annual fair of the State Agri-
cultural and Mechanical socity will
be held in your city on the llth of
November, continuing throughout the
week, and you are expected to aid in
making it a success. Your energies
and talents never tire in such pro-
gressive enterprises, and when legis-
latures and city councils fail to res
pond favorably to petitions to foster
and maintain the institutions of your
State you have adopted than and
carried them on tr;umphanty. We
rely on you now to contribute to the
annual fair such articles OF your
handiwork as you only can create.
The merchants and citizens gen.
orally are making up the sum CT So,
600, with which 10 enable the agricul-
tural society to pay the premiums,
and the committee are encouraged
to hope that nearly this sum will be
obtained. So that the society will
not be in any lack of funds to pay
you the premiums you will contend
for.
Your attention is called to the art
gallery and the household department,
with the confident expectation that
you will 6ll them to overhowing, and
make the fair of '95 the greatest sue
cess of them ali
The railroads have made the very
low rate of cent per mile travelled
by those who will visit your city, SO
that with the high prices paid for
cotton here, there will be large
crowd from all parts of the State,
and the exhibits of Richland county
will indicate the interest you have
in your annual fair.
Send all the pretty and nice things
Won have.
