COTTON AT EIGHT CENTS.

Seven months of the cotton
year remain, and in that time it is
said about two million of bales
will be brought into sight. This
section has, therefore, some inter-
est still in the price of the crop,
and the upward ten leucy of the
staple is very gratifying. In some
Of the local markets holders in the
cotton States are now looking for
9 cents, and toe chances are very
good that they will receive that
price.
All statistics of the crop are
against the contention Of the bears
Nj. Hester shows that in the five
months Of the year that have
been completed there has been a
decrease Of 2,O44, 900 bales
brought into sight, as compared
with the movement of the previous
year, thus indicating a crop below
5000, 900 bales. The full 6grres of
cotton brought into sight in the
first five months are as follows:
z, 126, 461 bales in 1897, 1884,
927 bales in 1898; s, 895, $50 bales
in 1899, and 6, S51,438 bales this
year. There is no way Of avoiding
the rllin conclusions of these fig
ures. If we add one quarter to the
crop thus far brought into sight,
we have an aggregate Of about
8, 100000 bales. The crop will be
between that sum and nine mil
lion bales.
It Is believed that foreign spins
ners are becoming aware that
their friend Neill Is not infall-
IDLE, especially in guessing at q
cotton crop. He has cast them a
good deal Of money this year,
they must now fiji their store
houses with eight-cent cotton,
instead Of six-cent cotton. which
| was available when Mr.. Neill be-
gan to nama the siz 3of the crop.
Those. farmers who could hold
out against Mr.. Naill haveE seen
their bales appreciate IN valus to
reasonably remunerative figures,
and they have we'll earned the
increase for their frmness in
standing by their W judges
ment.
The one fear now relates to the
next crop. Ejght-cent cotton
may induce farmers to pitch a
great crop, and thus the gains
Of this year may be lost next
year. All cotton never was pro-
f5able. 40 matter Wharf.-The price

The Moneys Worth Druggists.

There are more of the reliable BUST Seeds sold in
the Southern States than all other brands combined.
These seeds are not sent out on consignment, as many
brands are. Consigned seeds are generally Of inferior
quality, either from old age or grown from spurious
stock. During the long period of our business career,
our greatest effort has been to handle seeds that have
an established reputation for their purity, quality and
sure termination. How far we haye been successful
in accomplishing this, we have only to refer to the great
success of our business and the extended trade we
secured for our seeds. We know there can be no finer
seeds produced than the BUST. They will always be
found of the finest quality, purest strain, and of the
strongest termination. They have been awarded grand
prizes for their purity and fine quality in almost every
seed market in the world. No one can appreciate the
value of reliable garden seeds better than those who
have been once disappointed. Too much care cannot
be exercised IN selecting your supply. Always avoid
purchasing what are termed commissioned seeds, as
they will rarely be found reliable, from the fact that
old stock is taken from year to year. boxes re-assorted
from others, and the same seeds sent out again as
new crop. We invite you to try those sold by us. A
single trial will conyirce you that they are as we rep
resent them, as we commission no seeds, and, there
fore, have no old stock returned: what few we have
left over we burn up or feed to our chickens and re-
place with a new crop.
Remember
That a well-stocked and Well-kept garden is one
of the most profitable Investments for a family. If you
think otherwise, try it one year-it will convince you.

A FEMININE FAILING.
Difficulty Many of the Sex Have In
Telling Right From Left,

II saw by paper last week that a
colored woman was excluded from tes-
tifying in court because she didn't
know her right hand from her left and
was therefore esteemed too ignorant
for her evidence to he of any value"
said an observant man yesterday
Now. do you know don't believe one
woman out OF six knows her right
hand from her left without stopping
to consider the matter.
Il was standing in the foyer Of
theater the other day at a matinee
watching the audience, mostly femi-
nine, as it passed in. Well. each maid
handed her check to the usher. and he
called out First door to the right or
Second door to the left as the case
might be. With hardly an exception
those girls turned in the wrong direc-
ton: then they'd pause to consider, ex-
claim, We're going the wrong way!'
and skurry back again.
This happened so often that spoke
to the usher about it.
"'They always do it, he replied la
conically. L usually point so they'll
know the way. but I've neglected to do
that today. They're all right if they
stop to think. but they never do think
Il myself know an intelligent young
woman who has to make little mo-
ton as if she were writing with both
! hands before she can determine the
right one, and she declares that all her
acquaintance are affected in like man-t
ner, SO perhaps this is a general femj-
nine failing, and the colored witnessh
was Gajustly excluded" Baltimore
