ror the Enterprise
Sow Wheat and Oats.

More than half the cotton
crop has been sold, and not less
than three-fourths of it gather
ed. Fair prices have been paid
for the cotton sold. But better
prices could have been obtained
by the producers if they had all
held their cotton, until the
necessity of the manufacturers,
forced them to buy from the
producer, at prices fixed by
the producers; just as the
farmers are forced to buy "sup-
plies" at prices fixed by the
sellers-i. e. merchants. But
it is too late to discuss this
question now, since the greater
part Of the cotton has been sold
We had better discuss the ques-
ton of our future interests.
There is danger of present high
prices stimulating the increase
of production until prices will
be reduced one-half, and the
cost of production exceed the
receipts from sales Of the pro-
duct. We should raise our own
supplies, and in view of the
short corn crop Of this year, we
should SOW heavy of grain, es-
pecially wheat, as it seldom
fails if sown in due season, and
property fertilized. Oats, if
sown early, will come in good
time, to feed stock, and save
farmers from increased debt for
farm supplies, and the better
enable the farmers to hold their
cotton (if necessary for remu-
neration prices. Draining and
hillside bitches should receive
attention, after grain is sown.
If we wait till spring, we will
not have time to attend to it.

Why Bears Got The Best OF Last
Weeks Trading. What Ihey
Bank On.


Weeks Trading. What Ihey
Bank On.
Special to The State.
New York, Oct. I3.-This
week has witnessed a revulsion
of feeling in the cotton trade
and the market has declined
materially. By far the most
important features of the week
was the bereau report. This was
sensational surprise. Instead
of the extremely small percent
age expected the government
estimated the condition Of the
crop at the conservatively liber-
al figure of 81 per cent, fully
5 per cent. better than even the
bears had hoped. The an.
nouncement of the report was
Immediately followed by Il gen
eral selling movement, which
has continued since, and which
resulted in Il net decline for
the week of about 35 points.
The Liverpool bulls have be-
come discouraged by the bureau.
by the impending relief of the
situation thero, by large ship
ments to Great Britain and by
a rather bearish circular Of
Neills', and that market has led
the decline. Prior to the bu-
reau prices showed a consider
able degree Of strength on buy
ing, based on frost predictions
and fears that the report would
be a very bullish one. AT the
decline southern holders of spots
were said to be refusing to sell.
The Chronicles summary this
morning was quite bullish, but
q heavy weekly movement of
supplies more than offset this.
January closed to-day at 9. 80 ga
9.54, against 9.S9 last Satur-
day.
The decline incident to the
bureau is in itself a trivial mat
ter and need not be Of perma-
nence. The real importance Of
the figures lies in that they
seem to have brought the trade
into a state Of reasonable con-
temptation Of the possibilities
for the crop in the event Of u
long and favorable fall IIither-
to people have been disposed to
shut their eyes to this and 10
base their operations upon the
unfavOrable advices Of the mo-
ment ; but all this has changed
in the last few days, and now on
every side one hears compari-
sons with years when large
yields were secured from gloomy
beginnings Undoubtedly every
day of favorable weather and
deferred frost operates against
the market, and the high level
of prices gives to those who sell
cotton a distinct advantage ii
the start. The bulls, however,
have had much of prosperity
and, backed us they are by in
sistent private adviccs Of crop
shortage, it is certain that much
speculative buying will occur
as prices recede. | think such
buying, however, will but i'm
pede the progress to Il lower
level, which should logically
occur; and | believe that those
who sell the market will be the
ones to reap the profit. The
movement promises to continue
large, and although spinners
will certainly buy freely on all
concessions, ! do not think the
market can stand the weight OF
offerings that will occur.

RAISE OF SALARY WAS FATAL
Method a Merchant Took TO Get Rid
of Contract with an Employe.


Method a Merchant Took to Get Rid
of a Contract with an Employe.
81 wouldn't give cent for contract
with an employer" said an advertising
man. Contracts are useless. If a man
hires you for a certain sum TO do GER
tain work, he pays you that sum be-
cause you are worth it to him, and he'll
keep you without a contract just as
long as he will keep you with one. Ii
he agrees to pay you more than you
are worth he'll find it out sooner or
later. and then your contract isn't
worth a fig l know it shouldn't be So
but it is so. I've got in mind now
case in which a merchant, who boasts
IF forty years of business integrity,
dgured. He employed a buyer In one
of his departments at yearly salary
and contracted with him for five years
This buyer was one of the best in the
business. He worked along for about
wear. and then something happened
that made the merchant dissatisfied.
/ OF course. the buyer was under con-
tract. and the merchant could not get
rid Of him without violating it. What
did he do? Why, he sent for this man
and be said to him:
Mr.. , you have done splendid
work for MS. and we are more than sat
lsfed. We feel that you deserve some
reward. and we have determined TO in
crease your salary $1,000 a year.
We'll, the buyer said he was very
grateful and all that. and went out and
put in some Of his best ticks. He got
the increased salary for two weeks and
signed receipt for it. Then the mer
chant sent for him and said;
Mr.. -. we were mistaken in oul
estimate of you. and we have deter
mined to let you go. We don't need vol
any longer.
