Many cotton men aro of tho opiuiou that after tho next government report ?B issued there will be a sharp rite in the market, while on the other hand the bears are look ing grum at thc bulls and aro claim ing that thc price will go further down tho ladder. Immigration Commissioner E. J. Watson has declined the offer of Au guota chamber of comincvce secretary ship at one-third moro pay. Ho feels it his duty to himself and his State to get his new bureau on a better basis beforo leaving it. Mr. Watson was appointed to the place in March, 1(J04, when tho bureau was created. Ile was then doing nowspaper work in Columbia as city editor of The State. His work as commissioner has attract* ed much attention throughout the north and west and will result in doing much good for South Carolina. Some time ago thc Charleston branch of tho Southern Wholesale Grooors' Association adopted a reso lution recommending that all mer chants and shippers usc cotton bag?, instead of jute or burlap, for tho ship* jnent of suoh commodities as rice, corn, meal, grits, sugar and tho like. Tho movemeut is a good one and should bo extended. Not only is the cotton bag nester in appearance than the jute bag, but it is more economi cal in that it is stronger and will last longer, and when empty is of greater value. Furthermore, ootton is a na >. ?ive Southern product, while hemp and jute have to be imported. The use of ootton for bags would largely increase the demand for the South's great staple crop. Another great ?pening for the uso of ootton ?B in twice trade. Immense quantities of coitoo twine are now used, but the farmers of the Northwest continuo to uso hemp twine with thoir reapers and binders and for sewing their filled grain Backe. 0UR*MERC1I?XTS.
