The Crop VIII BE Short.
One month ago there was good reason
| to believe that this years cotton crop
would be one of the finest that has eyer
been raised in the county. On account of
the protracted drouth in many sections,
however, the crop has been cut short and
the prospects for good crop now are
quite slim.

Getting Hotter.
| Sometime ago 1t was intimated In The
ENQUIRER that there was but little In ter
est in the financial question IL Yorkville.
| The intimation was probably correct at
the time; but of late financial discussions
are waxing warmer. There are few
gold standard people here, and they will
discuss the question. But they are not
making any proselytes. On the contrary,
IL seems LQ8C Lu6 InOE6 tuoy dISu0 eho
matter, the more nearly they are con-
yiuced that the silver people have the
best of the situation.

The First Bale.
The first bale of new cotton did not
come in last week as was expected. We
are advised that quite number OF farm
ers have enough cotton picked to make
several bales; but they are slow about
going OH the market. They believe that
the price is bound to be higher, and that
it is better to wait. At the present time,
spot cotton is quoted in New York at
S3-l6, and August futures at sol. In
Yorkville. today, good cotton would :
bring somewhere in the neighborhood of
"a cents.
