COTTON FACTS ANDIFIGURES.
But
opener?
wasn't yesterday a cotton
, The Texas cotton crop is now esti
mated at 20 per cent, below that of last
year. ; ' ' ' .
The weather recently has been
very discouraging to the cotton bulls.
But an early frost would stiffen their
backbones considerably.
The New York futures market
closed at a decline of one to six points
on the closing prices of Tuesday. Spot
cotton was a sixteenth lower.
Augusta Chronicle: I saw a num
ber of bales sampled yesterdny in a
leading warehouse, and in several of
them the cotton was badly mixed. The
farmers have been frequently advised
against this in the Chronicle, and they
are doing themselves a great injustice
to put poor cotton in a bale with good
cotton. Instead of-averaging up the
bale and working off the poor cotton at
a better price, they cause their good
cotton to lose in value. Cotton is class
ed by the lowest grade in the bale, and
where a farmer puts 100 pounds 7 cents
cotton with 400 pounds of 8 cents cot
ton, instead of working off his 100
pounds at the higher price, he causes
the 400 pounds to go at the lower price.
Farmers should remember this.
Savannah News : The receipts of
cotton at the ports yesterday proved a
considerable surprise to the cotton men
and a big point in favor of the bears.
The receipts at Savannah were 9,837
bales, against 7,753 bales the same day
last year. While this would have caused
remark, it was still more remarkable
when the reports showed the total re
ceipts at all ports for the day to have
been 38,411 bales, against 37,507 last
year. In the face of the unusually fa
vorable crop conditions and heavy early
movement of last year this was some
what of a surprise. The market went
off immediately. The prices upon good
grades from low middling to middling
fair declined of a cent during the
day, caused by the reports of the heavy
receipts and the decline of the New
York market from the same cause. If
this keeps up the market will go down
with a tumble.
The Liverpool Post after reviewing
the recent advance, says:
"There is no mystery at all about the
movement. The market has advanced
Jd per pound, not because of any
change in the facts of the case, but be
cause prices had by successtul bearing
and a mistaken diagnosis oi the situa
tion been forced too low. Those who
have had sufficient wisdom to grasp the
real condition of affairs, and who have
also had sufficient strength of mind to
resist the plausible blandishments of
pessmist writers, have done well, but the
victims well, they have done badly,
and it is to be hoped that they will
profit by their experience. As to the
probable course ot the market for the
immediate future, it is only natural to
look for a reaction. After a gigantic
business and a sharp advance, there
always comes a slackened demand and
an easing off in values.
RAILROAD NOTES.
The largest railroad shops in the
world will be ready for occupancy by
the Northern Pacific railroad in the
early party of September. The cost of
the same, including machiney, is $2,000,
000, and will enable the company to
build anything from a hand-car to a
locomotive.
During the month of July there
were 169 accidents on American rail
ways, in which 92 persons were killed
and 212 injured. The Railway Gazette
says that in but one month since it has
kept this record nave tne latauties oeen
so numerous in August, 1887, when
the Chatsworth disaster occurred on
the Toledo, Peoria and Western road.
A new method of ventilating rail
road carriages and preventing dust from
entering with tpe air has appeared in
France. The more quickly the train
moves the more rapidly the aparatus
works. The air is made to traverse a
receptacle containing water, which cools
it ana relieves it ui uu&l, unci ,mm.u n
goes through another filtering before
entering the carriage.
The Bishopville Railroad Co. will
apply to the next South Carolina Legis
lature for authority to extend its rail
road in a general northerly or north
westerly direction as far as the North
Carolina State line; also from Atkins in
a south or southeasterly direction to
some point on the South Carolina or
the Central railroad of South Carolina.
Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 14. The
best record for a long-distance run in
the history of railroading was made to
day by a special train of three Wagner
cars from New York o Buffalo. -The
tram left New York at 7.36 a. m., and ar
rived m Buffalo at 2.56 p. m., covering
the distance in 4.40 minutes or 4,26
minutes exclusive of stops. This time
of seven hours and twenty minutes in-"
eludes stops. The first was at Albany,
where engines were changed and two
minutes lost. At Syracuse three min
utes more were consumed in another
change. The most serious delay occur
red at t airport, a town about ten miles
east of here, where the train was stop
ped nine minutes by a hot journal. Word
was sent from Fairport to this city to
have another engine in readiness to take
them to Buffalo. This was not needed.
and the train dashed through the Cen
tral Station in this citv without stop and
running at the rate of a mile a minute
or over. This was at i.4up. m, rrom
this point to Buffalo the run was made
without incident in 67 minutes, a dis
tance of sixtv-nine miles. The fastest
mile was made in 48 seeonds.
BRICK PAVEMENTS.
Instructions in Regard to Brick Pavements
-vTh& Severe Tests to "Wnioh the Pave
ments are Subjected.
The articles that have recently ap
peared in the Star on vitrified brick
for street paving have attracted much
attention and excited a great deal of in
terest, and in this connection the fol
lowing from the Asheville Citizen will
be found instructive :
Lay one course of vitrified paving
brick on edge on cushion of sand, made
even and . of the shape and form re
quired for the pavement when com
pleted; such brick to be laid in straight
Jines stretching from curb to curb (the
brick being assorted for that purpose, if
necessary), closely and evenly, edgewise
of the brickand crosswise of the street,
and at right angles with . the curb line
thereof (except at intersection of other
streets or avenues, where said brick
shall be laid on an angle of forty-five
degrees, or as said engineer may direct),
with the joints broken not less than two
inches; but no pieces shall be used, ex
cept to break joints, in starting and clos
ing a line of brick, and then not less
than half a brick.
Sufficient dry, medium fine, clean sand
shall be swept into the joints or crevices
between said brick, thus laid, to fill them
about half full, j
Said bricks shall then be tamped by
using a 2x9 straight edge, tamping back
and forth on said plank with a wooden
or iron tamper of sufficient weight (not
less than 50 pounds), until the uneven
ness is taken out.
The pavement shall then be rolled
(not less than half a block or whole in
tersection at one time) with said iron
roller, after filling said joints or crevices
with said dry, clean sand, until well
settled and made firm and secure from
any other settlement and to conform to
the grade and crown or angle of the
street or avenue.
Finally spread over such pavement
about three-fourths of an inch of clean
sand and leave it to be driven into said
joints and crevices by travel.
1 he quality of brick shall be as lol-
lows: They shall be straight, regular in
size and shape; free from flaws, cracks,
seams or breaks, made expressly tor
paving and burned to vitrifaction, and
able to endure the tests hereinafter
specified; but hard burned brick, made
expressly for paving and of the above
description, except as to vimtaction,
may " be accepted, if they will endure
said tests. J
The brick shall endure the following
tests: The modulus of rupture for
transverse strength must not be less
than 1,600 pounds to the square inch.
The brick must not apsorb more tnan
two per cent, of their own weight of
water;- shall not contain lime in such
quantity as to cause disintegration or
lniury; and shall have the power to re
sist abrasion equal, at least, to the best
Richmond, Va., granite or like grade of
granite, when tested under the same
conditions. A layer of sound, hard,
broken stone four inches in depth, pro
perly sized, shall be compacted by roll
ing, with small chippings of stone filling
the crevices at the top. This shall be
covered with a thick layer of boiling
pitch, when cooled and after sanding
shall be rolled to an even bed. Upon
this a bed of sand not less than three
inches deep shall be laid and rolled, and
on this the brick shall be set with close
joints.
The Mannfacturine Situation.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin says:
The cotton goods business is steadily
growing and there is a decidedly better
feeling among manufacturers in spite of
the improving tone in the market for
the raw material and the upward ten
dency of that staple. The excellent or
ders now being received by the jobbers,
especially in the West, are encouraging,
and the mills running on staple goods
have the prospect ot continued good
business, as orders are coming in freely.
Three new mills are reported to be
erected, and additions will be made to
several established plants.
There is an improved feeling to note
at Fall River. The price of print cloths
has been advanced slightly, and some
optimists predict that the tide has turned
and that instead of piling up, goods
Will begin to decrease.
A TOBACCO TOWN.
Rocky Mount on a Boom A Lively Trade
in Leaf Tobacco Many Buyers on the
Market New Buildings Going TJp.
Special Star Correspondence.
Rocky Mount, September 16.
Still they come. New tobacco buyers
arrive on every train to attend the mam
moth sales ot tobacco which take place
every day. The three warehouses yes
terday had fine breaks, or sales, and
prices ranged high. The farmers were
jubilant over their saljes and went home
rejoicing, j The buyers are specially
pleased with Rocky Mount as a tobacco
market and sav the leaf is, so far, su
perior to anything they ever saw. They
are determined to have the leaf, and
will oav the farmer full value fdr his
weed. It was verified yesterday, and
every day's sales are running high.
Twenty-five buyers are on the market
and when October opens and tobacco
comes in more freely there will be from
thirty to thirty-five buyers on the mar
ket. Building prize houses is now the
order of the day.
Seven prizejhouses are completed and
several more under way. The fourth
warehouse 180x70 feet will be com
pleted, and then business will be lively
when the numerous buyers plant them
selves and be in readiness to gratify the
farmer.
Last season over four million pounds
were sold, and this season it will reach
from eight to ten million pounds.
To show the prosperity of the place,
sixty thousand dollars worth of. build
ings are going up and unaer contract.

-SEPTEMBER STORMS.
The Latest Predicted by Poster Ougnt to
Be on the Way.
Prof. Foster's latest storm wave ought
to have left the Pacific coast Monday, if
it didn't. If it is a well regulated storm
it ought to be here about Friday. Prof.
Foster says it will be at its greatest
force in the Eastern States about Sept.
17 or 18, and that it will make a record
more than an ordinary storm. De
structive frosts will follow in the North
ern States, and will reach much farther
south than is usual for the time of year.
This storm wave, Foster says, and the
one following, it will be what is popularly
termed equinoctial storms, as they will
occur when the earth is near its equi
noctial. - Not the greatest storms of the
year, but notable weather events, were
calculated for September, and he will be
greatly surprised' not to see long ac
counts in the newspapers, with display
heads, relating notable weather events.
