GINNERS COMBINE
And Raise the Price of Ginning 25 Gents
Per Bale.

And Raise the Price of Ginning 20 Gents
Per Bale.
Greensboro, Aug. 10.--(Special)-A con-
seryatiye estimate of the cotton crop is
one-thrd less than 1t promised to be be-
fore the hot spell set in. 1t will be short
err than 1t was last year, when not over
two-thirds of an average crop was made.
The young corn is suffering from the
drouth. and will be cut very short unless
we have good rains in few days.
Yesterday we had a small shower in this
place, the first in many weeks. The
rains have not been general, but confined
to small sections, and then not enough to
be of any material benefit.
The public ginneries in this section
have entered into combine, and have
raised the price of ginning and packing
cotton from 81 to SIPS per bale.
There is a bagging and tie trust and
combine, which has put their articles be-
yond all reason, and now there is a COM
bine on the part of the gin owners, and
between the two combines 1t is to be hop
ed the farmer viii save his seed, the
price of which will be subject to another
combine on the part of the oil mills.
The first bale of cotton brought to this
market, ON the 31st of July, was raised by
Wesley Jones, colored merchant and
farmer of Greensboro, and sold to over
street & Gulley for Ga cents.
Invitations are out announcing the
wedding OF MISS Mary Locke ana Mr.

the cotton crop very poor all along the
route he travelled. Mr.. McCrary has

years, but will retire on September 1.

CANADIAN BANKS

Refuse to Accept American Money at Its
Face Value.
Toronto, Aug. 10.-A combined effort
is to be made by the city banks to de-
crease the circulation of American bills
in this city. AT present the city is flood
ed with American silver certificates.
The following notice is posted in the
STANDARD bank today: con and after
Saturday, August Is, American 81 bills
will only be received for 80 cents"
1t is understood that other banks will
follow the example of the Standard bank.
This action will probably result in a
much decreased circulation of American
bills in this city. In regard to American
silver most of the city banks are not ac-
cepting it at all. Some accept American
silver only from customers, but in small
amounts. The railway companies refuse
to handle it, and departmental stores are
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of refusing it
as money,
