A Sumter, S. C., correspondent re
ports the weather perfect for gathering
the crops, and cotton pouring into mar
ket : rapidly, although the crop is two
weeks late. - " ;'. "
At Meridian. Miss., it isstated that
the weather has been clear and warm all
the week, benefitting late cotton. Pick
ing is progressing well and the cotton is
better in grade and staple than ever be-
ore grown in this section. ";:
Advices from Augusta, Ga., says :
The weather has been clear arid pleas
ant, with light rain on two days of the
week. Accounts from the crops con
tinue unfavorable, " rust and shedding
prevailing to a considerable extent.
General reports from the country claim
reduction from last year s crop of
twenty per cent. Young cotton depends
upon the lateness of frost.
New York, September 19.
Hanckel & Riordan, in their, cotton re
port to-day, say: "The course of prices
for cotton contracts during the past
week has fairly reflected the inevitable
influence of large supplies of the staple
being forced upon the markets, in which
the demand for speculation, as well as
or consumption, was already satisfied.
Great Britain and the Continent seem
to have recovered from the recent scare
in regard to the new crop, and the for
eign spinners, being well stocked with
the raw material lor some time to come,
are evidently inclined to hold aloof for
the present and let prices take care of
themselves."
The fine weather of the last week
which has prevailed throughout the en
tire South, says the Savannah News, has
caused the cotton to mature very
rapidly, 'and is responsible for the heavy
increase in port receipts. The fields are
white now and picking, ginning and
marketing are going ahead rapidly. The
general opinion among cotton men is
that the bulk of the crop will be har
vested by tne latter part ol Uctober, and
that it will be rapidly pushed to market.
The experience of tne farmers last year
by which they suffered so heavily in
holding their cotton, has caused them to
give up all thought of holding this year,
and the crop will come upon the market
rapidly. The result will be that the re
ceipts during September and October
will about equal last year's, but the
probability is that there will be a big
drop after that.
Mr. A. B Shepperson has issued
his annual report on the cotton crop.
He writes: "In presenting the state
ment of the American cotton crop of
the season ending August 81, 1891, I
beg to state that it is based upon official
reports of the various Cotton Exchanges
and information kindly furnished me by
railroad officials, mill owners, United
States Collectors of Customs and prom
inent merchants. The figures are from
mail advices, and their correctness may
be relied upon. The commercial crop
is the largest recorded,- reaching the
enormous total of 8,674,417 bales aver
aging 501.47 pounds per bale, against a
crop the previous season of 7,297,117
bales averaging 498.14 pounds per bale.
I am convinced that the actual yield
was fully 200.000 bales more than the
figures of the commercial crop. : I make
Ihe crop about 22,000 bales larger than
some other annual crop statements
which have been issued.

On Saturday night last, at the regular

Company, which is experimenting with
it. It is a "Wedger's" torch, which can
be . lighted like : a match against the
wheel of the engine or any other metal
or hard substance. Rain or dampness
will not interfere , with its igniting.
When struck it makes a stream of fire
which lasts about half a minute, and the
engineer says he will not have to wait
in the house in future to fire the engine

OYSTER CULTURE
Estimated Profits of Oyster Culture It
: . Beats a Gold ' Mine And Will Hake
Investors Rich. 7 7 7
Dr. E. Porter, President of the East
ern Carolina Piscatorial Association,
left for Stones Bay yesterday, and
promises to exhibit some specimen oys
ters at the Produce Exchange, Thurs
day morning. It may be well for our
business men to hear what he has to say
on the subject. . ..
In the prospectus of the above Com
pany the profits, of oyster culture as
estimated, seem enormous, as will be
seen from the following extract from the
prospectus: . -
"In three years the young oysters will
so increase by growth that each bushel
planted will make three bushels of fine
selected stock, worth fifty cents per
bushel on the grounds. But for fear we
may appear extravagant to those unac
quainted with the capability of these fer
tile lands, we will modify this statement
and say that every bushel of small oys
ters planted, will make two bushels in
three years; and if we plant only 500
bushels to the acre, we will have in three
years 1,000 bushels of selected oysters
per acre, which are worth fifty cents per
bushel as they lie on the grounds, (these
oysters in the shell usually bring from
a dollar and a half to two dollars and a
half per bushel in the Wilmington, N.
C, market, and bring larger prices in
more distant markets.)
The balance sneet will then stand (at
fifty cents per bushel) as follows:
Dr. To 500.000 bushels of oys
ters planted at 12 cents. .$60,000
To incidental expenses (not
considering profits made
"on large oysters from na

the market) . . . . ....... ..$ 15,000

Showing net profits, besides the ; spat
left upon the ground as a basis for future
crooS. to be S425,uuu.
But remarkable as this estimate of
profits may seemthere are men of ex
perience in oyster culture who say that
the planting of the oyster can : be done
at a cost not exceeding six cents per
busheljust one-half the cost estimated
in the prospectus. :. It will be observed,
also, that fifty cents : per ' bushel for
selected oysters on the grounds is a very
low estimate.
