The article on ginseng, elsewhere
in this issue, ought to prove of more
or less practical benefit to some people
in this county. Whether of practical
benefit or not, it will no doubt be read
with a great deal of interest. We are
not inclined to take much stock in the
suggestion that southern ginseng is not
as good as the northern article. OF
course, we know nothing about the
matter; but we are unable to see how
even the shrewd Cinnamon can tell
what part of the country the roots
come from unless he gets the informa-
ton from the digger. That ginseng
is to be found in this county, we are
certain ; but as to whether it is to be
found in paying quantities, we are un-
able TO say.

THE COTTON MARKET.

That the price of cotton is fixed in
Liverpool is proposition in which
most people readily acquiesce. At
least that is the way it has been for so
long that the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary; but of late there
has been an outcropping of indications
which seem to mark the beginning of
the end.
We do not mean to intimate that
Liverpool is no longer to be consider
ed. There will be no such condition
as that for quite a long while to come !;
but Liverpool is no longer everything
The time is now here when other in.
fuences are making themselves felt in
a manner that is indeed significant.
The recent 100000 bale estimate
of Mr.. Neill had big effect on prices.
Mr.. Neill is the American representa-.
tive of Liverpool cotton manipulators,
and accordingly his opinions have tre-
mendous weight. They practically
govern his principals at home, and, of
course, other people have been forced
to listen. But this year, it would ap-
pear that other considerations have
brought about quite a change in the
situation.
a crop of 100000 bales would
call for a price somewhere between t
and 5 cents pound, and although cot
ton was low enough when Neill made
his estimate, Liverpool promptly fell
lower and New York was not slow to
follow. 1t past years this condition of
affairs has never failed to have its i'm

The Greenville Market.

Greenville News, Thursday: AL
though yesterdays receipts of cotton
were heavier than on any previous
day this year, the price of St cents was
broken for the first time in a week and
the first time since the Huguenot mills
bulled the market and put up the
price. The ruling price yesterday was
81, although the Huguenot people did,
on more than one occasion, 60 back up
to 81. A determined effort was made
yesterday on the part of other than
Huguenot buyers to reduce the price
to 6} ; but the 'Huguenot buyers were
informed from Piedmont-not by Pied
mont buyers, but in roundabout
way-that 6s was being paid there,
and they would not consent to the
Greenville market going below that OF
Piedmont and kept the price here up
to 6s. At first the other buyers with
drew; but they soon saw that the
Huguenot buyers were not going to
get gorged even by taking all the cot
ton and went back into the market at
the Huguenot's price.

mediate effect. The mandate of Liv-
erpool was obeyed as good law through
out the cotton producing world. But
this time there was disobedience, and
why?
Not only is Brother Neill on the
field, but so also are the southern cotton
mills. 1t is also their business TO know
something about the situation and they
were convinced from the start that
Neill was mistaken in his estimate.
Whether he was mistaken or not, they
knew his estimate was no good, and
they realized that if they let the cot
ton leave their doors at the prices
Liverpool was offering, they would
have to bring it back again at still
higher prices.
AS the result the mills began to buy
cotton as rapidly as they could. They
have, of course, been trying to avoid
unnecessary excitement, because it is
not to their interest to frighten the
bird before they catch it; but at the
same time they have been paying
enough for cotton to prevent its being
shipped away. These prices, in many
instances, especially in the immediate
vicinity of the mills, have been higher
than New York.
For sometime past exports have not
been nearly up to expectations. Liv-
erpool kept cool for awhile. She was,
no doubt, unable to realize the fact OF
the rebellion, and probably thought
matters would soon regulate them
selves to her wishes again. But last
week she became frightened and sub
mitted to a slight advance. New
York, of course, followed, and the
mills are showing signs of their inten-
ton to continue in the lead. They
evidently believe that prices are going
to be much higher after awhile, and
they do not propose to take any rash
chances.
There is a very general belief
throughout this country that before
the next crop, cotton is going to sell
for between and 8 cents a pound.
We do not want to advise anybody,
for we realize how impossible it is to
make safe prediction in the matter;
but to our view, the prospects appear
to be very good for an an advance.
There are three or four things that
are reasonably certain. Neil's esti-
mate is no longer taken seriously by
anybody; almost everybody believes
the crop is short, and many who have
heretofore been very cool, are so de-
moralized that they have no satisfac-
tory idea as to how short it really is ;
the steadily advancing price of yarns
is making the spinners very anxious
about the price of cotton !; Liverpool
is paying more attention to the local
markets than she has ever paid before |;
warehousemen are very eager to nail
every bale they can get their hands
on at the present prices. 1t is easily
possible that the bottom may drop out
of the situation; but just now the
prospects for something like u cents
appear to be very good.

1t is generally conceded that the
