There was much interest at the Cot
ton Exchange yesterday when the an
nouncement of the suspension Of S.
Mum Ss Co. was made. but aside from
the break it caused in the New York
future market it had no effect on local
trade conditions. The firm was well
known here, where it had the reputa-
ton of conducting d conservative BUSH
ness.
Spot cotton in the local markets
showed a decline of &c, due to the rains
reported generally over the cotton belt,
which had the effect of lowering prices
on the new crop months and which act
ed in consequence with depressing
effect on spots. The tone remained un-
changed.
In the f. o. b. market the offerings
Were fair on a basis of 13c for good
middling, but this is Nc more than the
exporters are willing to pay and so
there is little business done. The tone
of the market is nominal.
There was a general decline in both
spots and futures at Liverpool, New
York and New Orleans.

Negroes Leaving the Piedmont.

Before the advent of cotton mills in
this State the surplus population, both
white and colored, had to seek homes
abroad, most of them going to the
Southwestern States where they could
continue the growing of cotton, about
the only thing they knew how to do.
Now the mills absorb the surplus whites,
over and above what the land will sup
port, but there is not sufficient work to
employ the increase in the negro popula-
ton. 1t is believed by many that the
negroes will eventually pretty much all
drift down to the alluvial lands where
farming on large scale pays best.
