THE COMING CROP.

While the general run of market
reports for the past week have bear
ish tendency they seem to have receiv-
ed but little notice by traders, as
prices have reached sensational figures
more than once and the belief seems
general that the much talked Of
"bumper" cotton crop will fail to
materialize. This belief is based on
the fact that in nearly every section
of the cotton growing district the
crop has been retarded either in
growth or maturity. Texas, Arkansas
and Louisiana have suffered from the
ravages of the boil weevil, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama have expert
enced an excessive rain fall of long
duration, the extent of damage from
which can not yet be reckoned, and
throughout the entire cotton pelt the
labor problem confronts the planters.
A scarcity of hands is almost the uni
versal cry-the negroes apparently
preferring contract work, thrown open
to them by the present era OF railroad
and factory construction, to picking
cotton.
While the hopes of many planters
who expected bumper" crop and
fair prices seem to be doomed, yet out
of the wreckage and devastation caus-
ed by circumstances over which man
has no control, we have this much to
be thankful for-the fact that mis-
fortunes to the growing crop have
been general, the old crop supply in
spinners' hands is small and for what
is raised a top notch price can be got
ten.

Rankin have not been derelict in this

officials have raided the place and en-
deavored to capture the offending
parties, but WITHOUT avail. Had they
then had the co operation Of the oiti-
zens of jackson the whole menagerie
could have been trapped. Az it was,
the offenders had only to cross Pearl
river bridge, when Rankin's officers

safe-were recognized as citizens of
Jackson. They cared but little for the
loss of few barrels cf booze or beer,
they had money to buy more. All
they wanted was a place to hide their
own precious carcasses and avoid a
conviction. The capital city Of Mis-.
sissippi served them as lofty Of ref

Rankin authorities powerless to lay
hands on them. We believe that
things have changed and that with
the cooperation of the authorities OF

beasts will be smoked from their dens,
