goats, hogs, chickens, geese, tur-

and bring it quick. We also
want to buy corn, peas, green

We wish to say to our trade

damage, and then in addition to
that, the frost, has cut off any
possibility OF any, further matur
ing and the destruction of that
thai was partially m ltured. Th-
crop was conceded by all to be
from two to three weeks late;
the frost Is from three to four
weeks early. Therefore, taking
these conditions all together, the
ou'turn OF this crop must be ex
ceedingly small in comparis n
with what was expected a few
weeks ago.
1.-The headlines in one of the
South Carolina newspapers a
few days ago were a little mis-.
leading, in that they madeSit ap-
pear that | advised the farmers
to sell at ten cents a pound.
What | said then | repeat now :
That the association fixed the
line in their JUDGMENT below
which no one should sell a pound
OF cotton, az ten cents. | advised
the farmers that from this, figure
up, according TO the market, if
they were under obligation and
had debts to meet, to tsell sufH-
cient cotton to meet their obi
cations and to use their judc-
ment, based upon the informal
ton that we could give them as
to the conditions as TO what they
would do with the balance.
Il also said that cott II was
cheap at twelve and one-half
cents per pound, from the pre-
sent outlook. | think every
conservative cotton man, both
buyer, grower and spinner, will
concede this to be true. 1t will
certainly have to bring that
price If the Obligations OF the
South, incurred in making this
crop, are met II ever there
was time when prospects fav-
ored higher prices, this is the
time. And if the farmers will
but mar&et their crops conser
vaiively, not rush it to mark ct, ,
in my judgment, they will be
richly rewarded for so doing.

Dividend TALK PREMATURE
Says Secretary McROberts OF the Kansas
City Railway and Light Company.

CHICAGO. Oct. Stalk of a dividend for
the Kansas City Railway and Light Com
peay's common stock is again being revived
10 La Sale street. but according to Saumel
McRoberts, secretary and treasurer of
the company. these reports are premature.
The recent quarterly report Of the COM
pany, showing earnings Of more than 8
per cent. on the common, IA the signal
for renewed gossip on the subject. Last
spring there was strong talk Of a dividend
being declared, but it developed that the
expenditures ahead of the company for
extensions were too great to warrant such
q step In regard to the matter Secretary
and Treasurer McRoberts says:
Il have heard the ak of a probable
dividend on the common stock in the
near future aud while in New York recently
my attention was called to a statement
made there in reference to the matter.
These reports are premature and no doubt
originated after the publication OF our last
monthly and quarterly statements of earn
ings, which were especially good.
"Ne have been compelled to make heavy
expenditures for extensions, but we are
pretty well over that now.
There is no likelihood OF hasty action in
the matter and ak to the effect hat a
dividend to be paid before the holidays
has been decided on Is without foundation
