Ing the loaded cars. the letter says,
is along the side OF warehouse, and
can be approached by a wagon for
unloading the cars only from the
side next TO the main line track. and
there is not sufficient room between
the two tracks for a wagon to stand

WATsoN'S CROP ESTIMATE.
SOUTH CAROLINA PRODUCTION
WILL BE 1,O98,5 BALES.
Crop OF 1905 Showed Conditions Abo,,,
Equal to Those OF 1GOS-Rcnorts
From Other States.

Columbia Nov. 17.--Commissione
Watson estimates the cotton crop of
South Carolina for 1908 at 1.O9S.536
running bales. The estimate is made
by Mr.. Watson, who is chairman Of
the special committee of the Southern
commissioners of agriculture, and i'm
a few weeks he will be able to issue a
statement giving the estimates for the
entire South by States.
Mr.. Watson has been very fortu-
nate In his estimates since the depart
ment has undertaken the work, miss
Ing the totals. as afterwards shown
by onicials government reports, only
few thousand bales. The method by
which the estimates are given are very
interesting.
On November 1 of this year the gov
ernment showed S22.sss bales ginned.
The only other crop which had wealth
er and other conditions, with the pos
sible exception of labor, the same
was that or 1905. when the report on
November 1 showed S22,2s2 bales
ginned. In no case in the history of
cotton reports has any higher than
7S per cent. Of cotton been ginned on
the LIST Of November and it is usually
below these figures. The total crop of
1905 was 1.112,363 bales and with the
basis given above the estimate for
1908 was accordingly made
The acreage for 1908 will be about
2.512.260 and for 1907 the acreage
was 2.463,O00 acres. The 1907 crop
was the second largest in the history
OF the State. being 1,163,565 bales. The
largest crop was that Of 1904 when
l.1s2.926 bales were produced. The
1904 crop was the first going over a
million bales.

THE BALKAN WAR CLOUD.
There is Possibility Of war-An De-
pends on Austria's Note to Russia.

st. Petersburg, Nov. I2.-Althougb
an air Of outward calm is maintained
at the Russian foreign office. the Bal
kan situation has now reached an
acute stage, where everything depends
upon the nature OF the note which is
expected from Vienna tomorrow and
the outcome of the mediation which
Russia. France and Great Britain have
undertaken at Belgrade, at Austria
Hungary's request. with a view of
limiting the belligerent activity OF
Servia. If mediation is not successful.
war is recognized as a possibility in
authoritative circles.
The Austro- Hungarian relations are
too strained, 1t is believed, to permit
present conditions to continue indefi-
nitely. The Austria note will definite
ly outline the attitude Of that govern
ment regarding the discussion of an
nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
and the compensation to Servia and
Montenegro, and the nature of the
note will determine whether or not an
international congress can be held.

say:
Expectations are being fully real

there is a sudden pressure to meet re-
quirements that assures activity for

I'm the primary market for dry
goods, merchants are operating on a
more liberal scale than at any time
since year and a half ago. Cotton
mills are rapidly resuming, but accept
business only where the raw cotton is
controlled and an assured basis OF
profit can be established. Some prices
have already been advanced and other
business continues restricted, foreign
buyers considering the higher values
as excessive. While ciothier's trades.
man have ascertained the trend of de-
mand. there is still an inclination to
proceed cautiously in placing orders
for duplicate lines OF spring wooiens,
so as to be prepared for the normal
quantity OF cancellations. A better
movement OF spring goods is antici-
pated as soon as colder weather re-
duces stocks Of heavy weights.
Manufacturers OF boots and shoes

ers. whose stocks have been allowed
to become depleted. and who row an
