There is a hitch between the State authorities of Mississippi and Chief ilazen, of the U. S.

New York, July 16. North Carolina Since middle of June rains excessive, interfering with cultivation. Weather conditions now changed (sunshine) and crops are being laid by in fair condition, ith prospects of fine yield. Some of romised acreage has been turned to Other crops. Area 7,500 acres. South Carolina Reports from all sec- tinnft nnlp rmn in 1 oni rnnHitinn f having fully recovered from the drought of Spring and early Summer. Although acreage is leas than last year, under fur ther favoring conditions promises nearly average quantity. Poor seed used in some localities will certainly lower the standard and may develop weakness in plant and reduce the yield. Area plant ed, 32,500 acres. Georgia Growth retarded by dry weather, but under generally favorable conditions of late crops are developing finely. Reports confirm greatly reduced acreage, but as planters have selected the cream of lands, yield promises two thirds average crop. Area planted 10,000 acres. Louisiana Planting in practically completed, although not a little is still going on. The latter crops are lated or experimental. In, some sections acreage is -considerably less than last year, but in the majority the area is said to be quite that taken off in 1892. Wherever less, it has been that lands might rest or to give better care to that under cultivation, hoping for equal, if not larger results. Kaii'S have been frequent, yet the fall is scanty, only sufficient for immediate de mands. This causes apprehension among those making "providence crops." and also wherever the reserve supply is light or exhausted. Bearing exceptional in stances, early plantings show Vigorous growth, good stand, clean and' free of grass. Later plantings are germinating and growing finely. Area planted. 147,- 500 acres. BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS. Their Influence on Character Frugality, Industry and Promptness. Judge Seymour Dexter, of Pennsyl vania, speaking of building associations and their members, says : He has a feeling of ownership in the association, and a voice in electing its officers. He soon finds his savings ac cumulating, and discovers that he has hardly missed them in his weekly ex penditures. He is forming four habits which will be important in the effect upon his future welfare namely, the habits of saving, frugality, industry and promptness. 'If a man of familv and without a home, he has learned a practical way to secure one,' and his desire is stimulated. It inspires hope, not alone in him, but in all bis household. They are no longer content to expend all the earnings of the week in paying the bills contracted dur ing the week. As soon as a sufficient sum is accumulated to make up the mar gin between tne purcnase price- oi the home and the sum the associa tion will loan upon the property, he can borrow the money and purchase the home, and his dues and interest will but slightly exceed the sum he was pay ing for rent. The unmarried clerk or artisan has learned a practical mode of accumulating a sum to go into business for himself. The father, already tbnlty. takes shares for his children, and is en abled to train them to habits of saving more easily than he otherwise could do. The influences which radiate from these associations to a community are eajgva ting, and the results which they produce are in a high degree stable in their char acter. The most society can do for the individual is to give him the opportunity and to show him ho to keen himself. 'Place in the cities and business centers throughout the State many of these associations, based upon the idea of self help, saving, thrift and home building and home owning, and you have brought to pass a powerful influ ence for good. A man who is striving to earn, save and pay for a home, or has this accomplished, will be a better man, a better artisan or clerk, a better hus band and a better citizen. In the keep ing of such a future tbe Republic would be safe. I Keduoed Bate 8. A. Ii. On account of the Annual Tourna ment Colored Firemen's Association, at Durham. N.

C., SATURDAY, CO I TON MARKETS. Hubbard, Price & Co' Weekly Letter Accounts Regarding the Growing; Crop. New York, July 19. To write an in telligent review of the market which ex ists simply as a memory of the trade, is an exceedingly difficult problem, but one that must confront every one who at tempts to review even to a limited ex tent the cotton market during the past week. First and foremost, it must be deliberately stated that there is abso lutely no speculation in 'cotton, based upon the idea that the price is so low that it justifies an investment of capital simply upon the basis of its value. On the other hand it is well to consider, that from the character of the advices received from Europe a lartre amount of cotton has been sold for forward deliv ery by exporters in the interior towns and markets which has not been protect ed Dy tne purchase of contracts either in New York or in Liverpool. With the prospects of the crop, this is an unusual feature of the market at this season of the year, as the method of selling cotton is so simple ana only involves the outlay of a cablegram, that it is a temptation for many to resist. American spinners during the past week have been encour aged by the better tone to busi ness which is apparent throughout the country, as a result of the suppression the disorders in the West, re sulting from the action of the railroad employes. The fact that the Govern ment promptly suppressed what ap peared to be on the surface a serious con dition of affairs, has had the effect of di verting tbe minds ot people from the losses which they have incurred during the past two years and brought forcibly to their attention the fact that the coun try was still in existence and that it was possible to conduct business and earn a livelihood under present methods of law and order. Very frequently such a shock is needed to change the tone of mankind, and to this extent the troubles in the West have been beneficial, al though their immediate effect was to de range all business operations. Accounts regarding the growing crop which are received from the cotton belt are ot tbe most favorable nature, and tbe wonder of tbe trade is that their effect has not been more marked upon tbe values than records show. Scarcely a complaint is beard from any portion of the territory except murmurs regard ing lack of rain in Southwestern Texas and too much hot weather in the Atlan tic States, and predictions as to the size of the crop are freely made on an ascend- ng scale by those who like to indulge n estimation ot tbe crop on tbe 19th day of July. At the same time it is well to- note that the price of cotton to-day is practi cally the same as it was in May, and forty points below what it was in the month of February, after passing through period when all the influences had been to depress values. It is even as serted by many that nothing but the band of Providence can prevent the crop from reaching a large yield, but somehow the experience of the past years, even including the 9,000,000-bales crop, has been to show that at some time between this date and the market ing of the crop, some accident has hap pened which has caused those who based their calculations on an enormous yield on the crop prospects existing this week in July, to regret that they had not waited until later in the season. Doubtless it is the conservatism resulting from all this experience that has prevented the good crop advices from bringing about a sharp break in the value of cotton. Therefore at the mo ment the situation as it presents itself is that the prospects for trade in this coun try for the coming year are greatly supe rior to what they were at this time a year ago, and that the price of cotton is about $4.00 per bale less than in 1893, with a reduction of the visible and in visible supply of cotton as a result of this year's crop. To offset this we are confronted with the possibility of a large yield the ensuing year. The solution of this combination will be found later in the season. It cannot be decided imme diately. Criminal Court. The case of the State vs. S. H. Fish' blate and R. J. Jones, for misapplication of city funds was called in the Criminal Court yesterday morning.

Messrs. Strange, Oldham and Fowler protested in vigorous language against anything else being considered while the canvass was in progress. After further discussion the chairman said that he would read the paper and the members of the Reform committee announced that they would withdraw if be did. Mr, Parmeie asked the chair if he would accept the paper and the chair said that he would. Parmeie That settles it. Col.
