Fair prices have been paid lor the cotton sold But better prices could have been obtained .by the producers if they had all held their cotton, until the necessity of the manufacturers, forcod them to buy from the producer, at prices fixed by the producers; just as the farmers are forced to buy "supplies" at prices fixed by the sellers?i. e. merchants. But it is too late to discuss this question now, since the greater part of the cotton has been sold. We had better discuss the question of our future interests. There is danger of present high prices stimulating the increase of production until prices will be reduced one-half, and the cost of production exceed the receipts from sales of the product. We should raise our own supplies, and in view of the IUOR BAN'S COTTON I.KTTfcR Why licars Out The Ileal of hast Week's Trading. What l iiej Bunk On. Special to Tlie State. New York, Oct. 13.?This week has witnessed a revulsion of feeling in the cotton trad? nml the market has declined materially. By far the mos! important features of the week was the bereau report. This wnsensational surprise. Instead of the extremely small percentage expected the govornnion! estimated the condition of tin crop at the conservatively lihei al figure of (>/ per cent., fulh 5 per cent, better than even tin bears had hoped. The an nounceinent of the report w;iimmediately followed by a general selling movement, wliieli has continued since, and wliied resulted in a net decline f? : snort corn crop of this year, \vc should sow heavy of grain, especially wheat, as it seldom fails if sown in due season, and property ' fertilized. Oats, if sown early, will come in good time, to feed stock, and save farmers from increased debt for farm supplies, and the better enable the farmers to hold their cotton (if necessary) for remuneration prices. Draining and hillside ditches should receive attention, after grain is sown. Tf we wait till spring, we will not have time to attend to it. J. R M.

The Liverpool bulls have become discouraged by the bureau. by the impending relief of the situation tliero, by large shipments to Great Britain and by a rather bearish circular of Neills', and that market has led the decline. Prior to the bureau prices showed a consider able degree of strength on buying, based on frost predictions and fears that the report would he a very bullish one. At the decline southern holders of spots were said to be refusing to sell, The Chronicle's summary this morning was quite bullish, but a heavy weekly movement ol supplies more than oll'set t his. January closed to-day at 9.5'i <" 9.54, against 9.S9 last, Saturday. The decline incident to tin bureau is in itself a trivial mat ter and need not be of permanence. The real importance ol the figures lies in that they seeni to have brought the tr.uh into a state of reasonable con temptation of the possibilities for the crop in the event of ; long and favorable fall ! 1 i111 r to people have been disposed u shut their eyes to this ami n base their opersitions upon tin uiiftivorable advices of tin mo ment; hut all this has change< in the last few days, and now m every side one hears compari sons with years when largt yields were secured from gloomy beginnings Undoubtedly even day of favorable weather am deferred frost operates again* the market, and the high leve of prices gives to those who sol cotton a distinct advantage ,1 the start. The bulls, howc ver have had much of prosperit\ and, hacked as they are by in sistent private advices of croj shortage, it is certain that mud speculative buying will oecu as prices recede. 1 think suel buying, however, will but im pede the progress to a lowe; , level, which should logically occur; and I believe that tlu?-i . who soil the market w ill be 11 n ones to reap the profit. Tin r movement promises t;> com inn large, and although spinner p will certainly buy freely on al , concessions, I do not think th ( market can stand the weight, o offerings that will occur.
