 In an area of such extent as the great cotton belt ex tending through this and the adjoining States there is of course much diversity of soil and situation and hence we have often conflicting reports from the same neighbor hoods the appearance of the crops the rains have al so been unusually partial this summer and while many and by far the largest number have suffered from drought others have had but little ofcOmpaint Itls known also thata considerable portion of our cotton lands pro

 WORD TO THE PLAsrER-rrices ruled low last sea- but promise better next Wecannot say what rates market will open, the limited transactions which taking place not fair criterion by which to judge There is stock and but buyers who regard ing prices too high talthough the tendency has been favorable during the past week. careless about purchasing Prices will however open higher than last year. and not likely to descend low Should the sent favorable state of affairs in Europe continue may expect healthy demand at fair prices-but change in inevitably throughout the country Stocks the country light too much may he laid upon the anc decien cy in the growing crops ofett to which it should be remembered that the stocks In Europe very heavy million bales in Liverpool alone. We believe then that planters should avail themselves ofan early market without regard the local product crop the expeca tons based upon a deficiency in supply. Handle your crops in the best manner pack in small bales and you will make up in value all that is losiin quantity.
