Timbers' strike, the usual supply of crop news lias been very much curtailed, nnd business 1ms been restricted to a considera ble extent. However, the demoralized state of affairs prevailing In Wall streot has been tho all-absorbing feature of the week, and In reality so far as cotton Is concerned there Is very little to bo sold In roferonco to new developments. From nil tho Information wo have been •ble to obtain It appears that tbo greater portion of the belt shows satisfactory crop progress, while that portion of Texas which lins been suffering from drought has re ceived very llttlo relief, although some showers have been reported in certain lo- rnlltler- Th« uncertainty of the Texas crop Is undoubtedly the chief support to the market at tho prevnt moment, nnd If the situation seemed to Justify It It lx more thsn likely we would hoTe witnessed a con siderable decline this week owlnir to the unfavorable finnnclol outlook. It would seem wlso at the moment to pursue a very cautious policy In trading, owing to the rather gloomy financial outlook, which Is not by any means confined to onr own country. We hare held to a bullish view on cottou not became we believed In crop failures, but because we believed In the expansion of the trade and a steadily Increasing de- I lunnd for our staple, and this, taken In Special to The Georgian. „ (From Hayward.

New York Commerrhil: Selling agents ■nd commission inerchnnts In the dry goods trade approve of the more cautious pur chasing of merchandise which Is In evi dence. They declare thnt buyers, whether representing converters, entters-up or th«* department store trade, are Justified In moving with greater caution than they did earlier In the season, owing to the persist- cut circulation of stories of a financial ■trlngeney. While this may not come to pass, it fs felt that the general confidence J'* the commercial world will be conserved ,. r the purchasers of merchandise limiting their operations for fall nnd winter rather than expanding and stretching their pur chasing powers. A* the present time there on the books of most houses In the wholesale districts larger orders on the fnll t|ae* than have been booked In any recent X**r, certainly larger than last year on cotton* and on silks.
