MISSISSIPPIANS SAY
 COTTON IS RUINED
PLANTERS ARE INCLINED TO THINK IT WILL NOT BE FOSSIL BILE FOR THE CROP TO REACH TWELVE MILLION BALES.

Jackson, Miss. October 2.-(Special) J. A number of citizens of Jackson who
 are large cotton planters, some in the hill lands of east and south Mississippi, others of the Yazoo- Mississippi, where
 more cotton is made per acre and per team than anywhere else on earth, have returned home resigned in the belief that ! no fortune will smile on them or other | farmers of the state this winter. They declare that if other states are as badly injured by the winds and the rains as is Mississippi, an eleven and half million bale crop of cotton is impossible and that ! in dollars and cents the property loss equals that at Galveston or San Fran cisco.
 Railroad Commissioner Brady made a trip over the Alabama and Vicksburg railroad yesterday and made careful in quiry as to damage to the crops at every station. All with whom he talked de- clared they were next to ruined, and that they would not get half cotton crop. In addition to that the corn Is fiat on the ground and with another day or two of rain will be too rotten to feed to stock. All farmers who can get to their corn fields are busy hauling corn to their barns where they are spreading it out to dry before storing it away finally, hoping thus to save 1t.
 Judge James Longstreet attorney for the Illinois Central railroad is just back from his plantations in Grenada county. He states that cotton and corn are both on the ground, much of it covered with water and mud, that the cotton bolls have sprouted on the ground, and that corn will do the same if not gotten out of the fields in a very few days. He
 declares the disaster the greatest that ever befell the south. and Is confident eleven million bales will cover the cot ton crop now while a day or two more of wet weather will cut it down to ten million bales Judge Longstreet rode ] around over his farm yesterday with his overseer and they agreed the price of cotton would be bound to go to 2 cents l in a very short while. Grenada is one hundred miles to the north of Jackson, and where 1t was hoped the wind was | less violent but the Judge is inclined to believe the havoc there Is greater. How ever. that is impossible. according to reports that reach here from managers of the state and other farms in all sec- tions of the state.
 While the wind has laid. the rains con- tinue and the prospect is for several days more of the same brand. and which ! means ruin to thousand of farmers and the merchants who have furnished them | during the year on credit

SENSATIONAL BOUND TAKEN BY COTTON Big Gains Scored After Wide
 Fluctuations SALES WERE 100000 BALES Census Ginners' Report Caused New Bound After Notable Decline.
 Net Advance Over
 50 Points.
SALES WERE 100000 BALES

New York October 2.--It was another sensational and active day in the cotton market with prices scoring big gains after very wide fluctuations and the close was strong at a net advance of 50 to 57 points. Sales were estimated at fully 100000 bales.
 The market opened firm at an advance of to 12 points in response to higher cables and further reports of unsettled weather in the belt. There was heavy, strong, in fact sensationally heavy selling on the advance by recent buyers. The Liverpool bulls were evidently reducing their lines and there was selling by spot people and local professionals. In all 1t prominent brokers disposed of over a hun dred thousand bales during the first hour And the offerings were taken up with out making any special impression on prices. The buyers were the southern wire houses and New Orleans together with some Wall street people and in spite of all the pressure the advance was not checked until prices showed a net gain of S5 to ss points.
 Then it eased off just before the Sep- tember condition report was published, and after the condition of 716 per cent was issued, indicating deterioration for the month of 5.7 per cent when the trade had looked for per cent prices sold off to about closing figures of the previous day The census bureau published an hour later showing 2,044,0o0 bales ginned to September 25, against 2,35S,0oO bales last year, was followed by a second advance heavier and of even a more excited and sensational character which took the mar ket up to a new high level for the day and movement, with December at 10. 60 or about ITO points above the recent low level. The close was a little off in the best under realizing.
 Receipts at the ports today 79.S19 bales. against 67, ,303 last week and 69564 last year. For the week 330.0OO bales, against 27s,S45 last week and 351, ,9S3 last year Today 5 receipts at New Orleans 14,7s1 bales, against 1886 last year, and at Houston 25.- 252 bales, against 27935 last year.
