SOUT CAROLINA COTTON CROP Two Hundred Thousand Bales Not Yet Sold-It Ia Being Held For Higher Prices, and at Ten Cents a Pound Would Bring Ten Million Dollars. "A. K." in the Charleston, (S. C.) News and Courier, has this to say of the cotton crop of South Carolina: The New Year has dawned with prosperity and good feeling all over South Carolina. The cotton situation is a serious one, but fortunately the terrible slump came after the State had gotten fully on its feet in a finan cial sense, and the bulk of the cotton now being held is in the hands of those best able to hold it. A representa tive of a large cotton buying firm was sent here from New York about ten days ago, and he has persistently tried to buy cotton, but in the ten days he has not bought over two hundred bales. This shows that there is no disbosition to sell and that the holders do not have to sell. The next question is: Is the cotton here? It certainly is, and It is 'being held for better prices, and those who hold it are not going to sell at present prices, simply because they do not have to. A close observer from Orangeburg County, the banner cotton county of this State, and the second largest cot ton producing county in the country, according to the census, has about 20, 000 bales on hand in the possession of the original producers. It is estimated that Orangeburg County raised this year 88,000 bales of cotton, and of this amount it Is stated that 5,000 bales are now being held in Amelia Township alone, and the remaining fifteen or twenty townships of Orangeburg Coun ty hold enough to a total of 20,000 bales in the hands of the producers in that county. It is this way in Anderson, and In tact all over the State. A gentleman from Anderson County said the other day that the cotton mills are holding cotton for farmers, and that in ad dition the ware houses over the State *re well filled with cotton. It is estimated that fully 200,000 bales of cotton are being held in South Carolina, which at ten cents a pound, are worth $10,000,000. It is further stated that most of the cotton mills have bought pretty freely and have their supplies on hand, with allow ances for filling in orders from the home territory. Many of the cotton mills of the State bought cotton when it was very much higher than it is to day. $60,000 Fire at Greenville.

TilE SOUTH'S WEALTH Notable Increase Shown During The Past Pear A STEADY INFLUX OF CAPITAL e The Remarkable Gain in Diversified Agriculture Notable-The Increase c in the Taxable Value of Property C 40 Per Cent-As Great as the In- R crease in the Preceeding 20 Years. t Baltimore, Md., Special.-The Man- it ufacturers' Record presents this week C the approximate figures of the assess- t ed valuation of the property in all the e Southern States at the beginning of E 1905, publishing a table, showing by a States a total assessed valuation of a $4,510,925,237 in 1890, of $5,266,594,044 p in 1900 and of $6,196,697,813 in 1904. a Commenting upon these figures The iz Manufacturers' Record says: t: "These figures,*subject in part to re- c vision-and, it -is believed in the case of two or three States, several millioa dollars below what will be shown by r the final returns on assessed values- t indicate the remarkable advance in a material wealth In the South between e 1900 and 1904. During that period, as 1 shown by these figures, there was a t gain of more than $930,000,000, or at an b average rate of $230,000,000 a 'year. The magnitude of this increase is strikingly illustrated when compared I with the progress -in the decade be- t tween 1890 and 1900, when the total increase in assessed valuation was $755,000,000, or at the rate of $75,000,- 1 000 a year. It was during that decade r that the price of cotton fell to its low est point since the war, but during the last four years-there was a steady ad- i vance to the exaggerated speculative o value of the early part of last year. It may not be possible to connect with 1 exactness the Increase in the price of cotton and the enhancement in the as sessed values of property in the South t but that higher prices do have a ma- l terial bearing upon the prosperity, a goes without question. "In studying this question, however, s it should be borne in mind that during t that last few years the increase in i diversified agriculture in the South has been almost as marked as the in- b crease in the value of cotton, and' ad- b ded to this is the really wonderful in- 1 dustrial development. The remarkable ' change from the low price of cotton of 1 six or seven years ago Is hardly more striking than is the increase in the pro, I duction of grain, fruits, vegetabled and other farm products. The total b increase in the assessed value of prop- t erty in the South in the 20-year per- e iod from 1880 to 1900 was $2,310,000,- C 000; or, in other words, In the last four I years the gain in the taxable value in i the South has been 40 per cent. as great as the total gain of the preceed- t ing 20 years. Bearing on the Increase in the as- ? sessed value of property, The Manu- p facturprs' Record gives in detail statis- d tics showing the great development of - diversified farming in the Soutif, which s in connection with Industrial develop- r ment has been a potent factor In the a enrichment 'of that sectio'n, and says: z "By reason of the short crop and i high prices of cotton in 1903 and the1 large 'crop and lower prices in 1904, v the world's attention has been so close- I ly centered upon cotton that the re- I mark-able development in diversified agriculture throughout the South, now 1 one ,of the most marked features of 2 'Southern farming operations, has been to a considerable extent overlooked. In 1~u3 the South produced suelh an exceptionally large grain crop that it t was haidly to be expected that there would be a fprther increase in 1904, although there is practically no limit to -the South's capabilities in the de- g velopment of diversified farming, In < 1903 the production of corn showed an t Increase of 138,000,000. bushels over e 1903. The aggregat,e production of I corn in the South for the last two years was 1,300,000,000 bushels, against 900,000,000 bushels for the two r preceeding years, an increase in two a years of nearly 400,000,000 bushels. r The total value of the corn crop of t the last two years was $720,000,000 % against $566,000,000 for the two pre. t ceeding years, or a difference in favor t of the last two years of $154,000,G00, C which was added to tne wealth of the 3 South by the increase in corn alone. There was no material difference in the wheat production bpt the higher prices of wheat in 1904 made a differ- C ence of nearly $15,000,000 to the South i as compared with the wheat crop of 1903 and a difference of $31,000,000 as compared with the wheat crop of 1902. The total value of corn, wheat, oates. Irish potatoes, rye and .hay producedI In the South last year was.$542,000,000 a gain of $36,000,000 'compared with' 1903 and of $140,000,000 compared with t 1902. .Outside of these crops and of I cotton, the value of other farm pro- C ducts, including rice, sugar, tobacco, a sweet potatoes, vegetables, fruits and E live stock products, was about $550, 000,000, or a total value of Southern- j: agriculture outside of ootton in 1904 C of about $1,092,000,000. The aggregate 3 grain production in the South last t year was 790,000,000 bushels, against c 607,000,000 bushels in 1902. a Rehearing in Rebate Case.
