THE COTTON SITUATION.
The Opinion of II New York Firm of
Cotton Merchants in Regard to
Crop Prospects.


Cotton Merchants in Regard to
Crop Prospects.
The cotton trade on either side OF
tho Atlantic is basing its opinions upon
foundations 50 entirely different in
character, that it is not at all strange
that tho markets move on different
planes Of action. Ono need only in
dulge In u casual reading OF the foreign
newspapers to become aware Of the
Importance attached to Mr.. Ncill's
opinion abroad, and the utter disre-
gard Of any Information tending TO
show that the impression conveyed in
his August circular Is not the correct
forecast OF tho coming crop. The
foreign spinner, in the face Of the best
all around trade demand over known,
disrcgards tho probability OF any re-
duction in supply. The report of the
Agricultural Department is believed
to bo without any basis whatever, and
it is further believed that beneficial
and sufficient rains have fallcn through
out Texas, and that the prospects arc
good for u large crop everywhere
else.
Against these Influences thorc is the
undoniab'e fact that Il drought has
prevailed over Texas TO moro than
Il month, with the temperature higher
and the rainfall less than during any
August that the Cotton Exchange has
record that u reduction in acreage
throughout the cotton belt is admitted
by every candid observer, ana that the
use Of commercial fertilizers In the
upland country WAS largely dccroascd
Whether these factors have any effect
upon the production and yield OF cot
ton, tho future will decide {; If they DO
not, then VIC will nave to admit that
the conclusions OF generation arc
valuelCss.
The situation today presents q direct
antithesls to the situation in Scptem
ber, 1890, when tho great decline II
rotton began. Then the spinning
world in the lace OF a panic, just Wis
ible, and the prospects OF crop be
yond all precedent At thaC time, was /
largo buyer. Now the trade and con
sumption OF tho world arc beyond the
vii lest dreams OF year ago, while
the crop prospects cannot be com
pared with those OF that time nor q
last ycar.
Why, thin, does not cotton advance;
Tho reason is to be found In the losses
incurred during tho past three Season:

TILLMAN, TALBERT AND NOUMANS.
Tho Edgciicld Advertiser gives the
following Information about the Sonnto-
rial race:
When we said last week that IT was
about settled that Tnlbort, Tlllman and
Youmans would be candidates for the
United States Senate, we spoke with
out the slightest intimation from eth
or OF the parties named, but only gave
the current rumors. The people have
about settled the matter among them
selves that they want and must have IL
triangular race, three contestants in
1900 for the Senate, as was the case
when McLaurin WAS elected and when
| Earle WAS elected Thorc arc IL good
many people in South Carolina VINO arc
tired OF Roformcr and Conservative,
and want to vote for good sound De
mOcrat without regard " past alilia-
ltions, while there arc others vino will
stick to the old rack, fodder or no fod
der.
Since writing the above we see tho
name OF Duncan mentioned for tho y
S. Senate and also another gnlo0t,
whose name has escaped us. So it ma.
be- that tho people want this time 1
quinquangular race instead Of q trian
gle. What we started out to say ant
| to cmphasiZe was that, 80 far as VIZ
| know, no one has authority to announce
| for Edgefield County that TaIhert Is On
| is not Is candidate for the United States
Senate, or that Youmans is-that Till
man is, goes without saying.
