OUOTING THE MARKET.

THE ENQUIRER's method Of quoting
the cotton market does not seem to be
altogether satisfactory to some Of the
buyers, and from time to time the repor-
ter gets not little advice on the subject.
One buyer, on Saturday, remarked to the
reporter as follows:
"You quote the market invariably toe
high. People come here expecting to get
the prices quoted, and, on failing, 60
away dissatisfied. While it is fact that
the Yorkville market is one of the best in
this whole section, so far as prices are
concerned, in the matter Of sales it Is
comparatively one Of the poorest. Some
how people just won't come here"
Recognizing this complaint as being,
to say the least, tangible, the reporter ex-
planned the policy of the paper with ref
erence to the cotton market as follows
"It used to be our custom to quote prices
which would probably rule on the day OF
publication. This, however, on account
of the constant and swift changes in the
market proved unsatisfactory, and led to
the adoption of a plan of reporting the
highest price paid on the day Of going to
press. 1t is understood, Of course, OF
ought to be understood, that the price
quoted is for the best cotton, and every
body knows that inferior grades go al
lower prices"
The cotton buyer admitted that the re.
ports in the paper as to prices paid were
strictly correct but insisted that the re-
ports hurt this place as a market. lie
recommended, among other things, that
we publish no reports at all, to which ar.
rangement, for obvious reasons, the re-
porter would not agree. \ sufficient rea-
son is that people who have cotton, are
very much interested in the state of the
market, and they look to THE ENQUIRER
with more or less confidence for the nee
essary information.
AS to whether the town of HorkvillC
gets its full share Of cotton, THE ENQUIR-
Err will not attempt to say with certainty.
We believe it does; but if not, we are
unable to understand the reason. Most
of the buying throughout the county is
manipulated from this place. Messrs j.
T.. White, b. y. Moore and J. 4. Latta
each have located, at different points,
from three to Il dozen Sub-buyers. These
sub-buyers are picking up Il lot of cotton
elsewhere. They can't pay anymore than
their principals would pay. Besides the
gentlemen named, there are also located in

THE ENQUIRER is in receipt OF the
premium list and other advertising mat
ter of the interstate exhibit of the "Che-
raw Agricultural Fair Association" to be
held at Cheraw from Monday to Friday
November % to 27, inclusive. Judge r
c. Watts is president of the association
and Senator Tillman is booked for an ad
dress on Tuesday, the 23d. The value OF
the premium list aggregates $1,000, and
from the big scale upon. which the Che
raw people are operating, it would appear
that they intend to rival, or excel the
State Fair.

rather better than at this time last year.
Mr.. G. L. Riddle, of Zeno, was drawn
not long ago to serve as petit juror at
the next term of the United States court

- In reviewing the municipal campaign
now going on in New York, the Philadel-
phia Times sizes up the situation about as
follows: Low, the Citizens Union can
didate, does not stand a shadow of
chance. Tracy, the regular Republican
candidate, does not stand as good achance
as Low. Henry George will poll a big
vote; but he is not in it. Van Wyck,
Tammany's man, is sure winner, and,
as the result, Tammany will control the
regular Democratic delegation to the next
national CONVEX ntion. With united
front, the Republicans might have some
show of electing a mayor; but with
Tracy and Low both in the field, defeat
is inevitable. This is generally recog-
nized by the leaders; but Platt, who is in
control of the party, and who is back OF
Tracy, would rather defeat his party than
lose his grip on the party machine.

In his annual report to the secretary
of war, General Nelson A. Miles recon-
mends that the strength Of the army be
increased on basis of one man to every
1000 of population. This would make
the standing army of the United States
foot up something like $4,000, instead OF
only 25,OOO as now. 1t is only a question

General Miles's suggestion will be car
ried out, and to look beyond that period

the producers over $30,000,000. Mr.

the decline in cotton is not warranted
by its statistical condition. The pro-
ducers are rushing the crop to market

say that it takes from fifty to one hun
