Late Adyices Confirm Early Reports
of Damage 10 Long Staple Cotton.

VI DdnuEe 10 Long SihBAc NOtiohs
Reports. which have recently been re-
ceived by factors here, confirm the earlier
advices, published in the Morning News,
to the effect that the continued rains and
the storm with its accompanying terrific
downpour had materially injured the crop
Of long staple cotton.
AT first there was some impression that
the reports OF damage were over estimated
and that the spirit of pessimism would die
out when tle clouds rolled away and fair
weather came 10 stay. Such has not been
the result, except to a limited degree.
While conditions have naturally improved
since the rains ceased, the effects of the
prior bad weather are stin apparent and
cannot be overcome OF ignored.
Correspondence from planters and in
terv-ews with those who have been in
savannah lately, give an estimate of dam
age in various sections ranging from IS to
50 per cent. of the crop. Factors, who are
IN receipt of this Information, believe that
IL Is approximately accurate, and that the
receipts Will bear it out. AS the acreage
was Y to 10 per cent below that of last
year, according to the most careful com
pilations, it is evident that the falling off
IN the supply of long staple cotton at this
market the coming fail and winter will be
decidedly smaller than last season.

not probably pass on any of them.
1t is not known just how many bids
there are, but it is understood nearly all
contractors who were invited to do so
filed bids. Some of the committee al
ready have their preferences about the
contractors, though the amount Of the

AS stated in the Morning News, the con-

considerable iron work however, and this
