Although yesterdays cotton market had
IFS usual proportion OF irregularity. the
undcrtono was distinctly better and buying
vas greater than the selling. 1t looked az
n the pressure resulting from few days
Of good weather In the Southwest had
about run its course and that sellers had
become rather nervous over the fear that
they might have been premature In con-
customs that crop prospects had made Q
definite turn for the better.
Although the forecasts for the past two
or three days have promised fair weather
scattered showers to keep shorts on the
anxious seat. Several wires from Texas
were received yesterday stating that
scattered showers were keeping the
crop back and that conditions were
actually worse than the cotton trade
elsewhere realized. There has been
a tendency to deprecate claims of in
fury from tho wet weather In Texas, as
tha, State has usually based its COM
paints Of Injury upon drought. Rains In
the early part OF the season. however. are
probably as Injurious in Texas as else
where. and several we'll known Texas cot.
ION men have written to friends In the
local market stating that fields were get.
ting very grassy In the central part Of the
state. while the iowlands in many Sec
lions were under water.
In the States east Of the Mississippi
River conditions could hardly be more
favorable. Alabama advices in particu.
lar are extraordinarily optimistic. Eu-
rope. however. has always been moro in
huenced by claims Of damage from Texas
than from any other portion OF the belt
and any real alarm is likely to be felt
there sooner than in New York or even
New Orleans
Trade reports in this country are some-
what unfavorable. The Southern Hard
Yarn Spinners Association at its meet
ing In Charlotte on Wednesday. agreed
10 curtail 80 per cent for ninety days.
This represents reduction in output of
about 100000 pounds of yarn a week.
On the other hand. the British Board Of
Trade returns on exports from the United
Kingdom make favorable showing. az
exports of yarn during April amounted
70 100000 pounds. against ls.51s. 1000
pounds last year. Exports OF cloth dur
Ing April amounted TO 532, 900. 900 yards,
against 5s7 1884, 900 last year.
Futures closed steady, to points

World Needs More Wheat.

Ottawa, Sept. 18.-As a war measure the Canadian govern ment will endeavor to have the wheat acreage doubled next year. A conference has been held between the Dominion min- ister of agriculture and experts in wheat production to devise means to enlarge the wheat a. creage of Canada for the coming crop.
 The British government has asked the Dominion to cooper ate in the work of increasing the production of wheat so that the food shortage in Europe result ing from the employment of men in war may be met.
 The Canadian wheat crop of this year is already being large ly exported to England.

THE ISLAND.

Farmers are gathering their cotton but cry slowly, on account of the poor market. Bankers, landlords an0 mercuants should help the farmer the backbone of the world-to hold the cottoA until the present situation is in be. condition. Let them suffer some along with the farmer. Then let the farmer enjoy some of the benefit with the commercial world. The man who drives old Beck every day in the hot sun, half clad and half fed, gets nothing, but the one who sets in the shade and wouldn't know how to bridle mule, is the one who gets the money that the poor farmers, their wives and children labor for.
 The army worm has stripped the cotton of it's foliage.
