A SHORT COTTON CROP.
Buyers in Wagons are New Seeking
the Growers.

Gainesville, Fla, Sept s.-Plsntes
all over the county are bemoaning the
rains, which are greatly interfering
with their crops, particularly the cot
ton crop.
In the largest cotton belt in the
county, from Hague north, and from
the BeviIle section west, planters state
that the cotton crop has shielded or
account Of the rains, and that it viii
not be half what it should be, even
under ordinary circumstances.
Not only has the crop been cut short
by shedding at least one-half, but the
various insects have also affected it to
some extent, and what little of the sta
pie is left viii surely bring a handsome
price to those who are able to hold it.
One man stated Wednesday that he
had eighty acres, and that it would
yield a bale to every seven acres in the
entire piece, while up to the LIST of Au-
gust it was one of the finest patches to
be found in the county. He states he
] has visited a number of sections and
finds them all in about the same cOndi-
ton.
At present they are paying 81 per
hundred pounds for picking, which, Ow-
ing to the wet conditions, growers claim
really amounts to about $3.50, but they
are compelled to do it or let the staple
stay in the field.
Alachua has been paying 5 cents fol
the staple in the seed, and q cents in
the lint, while it is rumOred that the
Tucker interest in Gainesville have
been beating this price, paying 81 cents
in the seed and as high as Is cents il
the lint for some really choice cotton.
Cotton buyers in wagons are now be-
ing scattered all through the county
/ and it is said they are picking up every
thing they can getat thepresentprices,
/ for it is believed that the great scar
city of the crop will compel it to go a;
high as 30 cents before the season il
