There has been a considerable drop
ping off in cotton receipts on this mar
ket since last Saturday. A majority
Of the farmers 1t seems, are not dis
posed to sell for less than 10 cents.
Almost every farmer has already sold
enough cotton to settle fertilizer bills
and partially satisfy his creditors
and they can now afford to hold"
awhile for better prices. Some far
mers who failed to get an early stand
Of cotton last spring say their crop
will be short unless the fall is very
favorable; but those who succeeded in
getting their crop up early have fine
cotton and on an average the crop in
this section is much better than last
year.
Mr.. w. S. Percival, leading farmer
of Ogden was in the city Tuesday SELL
ing some cotton for his tenants. He has
not sold any of his own cotton since
the price dropped below 10 cents, and
he informed your correspondent that
he had already picked six bales from
his own individual one-horse farm
and that there was at least bale open
at that time, and, Of course, a great
deal to open still. He has some Is or
20 acres Of fresh land in one field in
cotton this year, which he expects to
get bale to the acre from. 1t is unu-
sually fine cotton. The cotton crop
generally in that section Is very good.
The weather this fall has been very
favorable for saving peavine hay and
other provender and an abundance of
it has been housed in this section.
Hay of all kinds is selling on the mar
ket at from 80 cents to 40 cents per
hundred.
The continued drought has about
killed out the turnip crop except where
very early stands were secured. And
all kinds of late garden truck Is per-
ishing from lack Of moisture In the
ground.
Our citizens are daily, and very
forcibly, reminded of the fact that
among other things, Rock Hill is sadly
