IN SO SAYS CAPT. J. H. RUCKER. The conditions of the Cotton' Market outlined by an Able Finlander— The General Condition of .the Country. Tbe condition of affairs in the South , n i the entire Union just now as to the muuO uiariut io aiaaotiug wore atten- tij.i tiiau anything else. Cotion is at the low figures; money is extremely tight; and men are dis using in every community the best n , e tiimls of tiding over their affairs in this tiiiancial crisis. Tti.‘absorbing topic of conversation in thu .South at this time is the condi tion of the money market and the price of the fleecy staple. With cotton at a good figure, the South can very easily stand a financial stringency, but when her staple crop comes down to seven ivnts, the great pressure mast be felt. and under such conditions the business interests of this section, stretched to their utmost ten cion, must eventually break in many places. Last year about this time advice was being L'iven by the Alliance leaders to bold cotton for better prices. What i» the advice given this year by those whose opinions have weight iu such a matter? CAPT. J. H. KUCKF.lt*8 OPINION. Capt. J. H. Rucker, one of the most distinguished citizens of Athens, is re garded as splendid authority in finan- cia. matters, and his large expe rience in the handling of cotto 1 , renders him pre-eminently fitted to give an opinion on the question touch ing the sale of the fleecy staple. Capt. Rucker* was seen yesterday by a Ban.nkk reporter and queite a lenghty conversation was held upon this subject, in which many valuable opinions were given by Cap! Rucker. “The extremely low price at which cottou is quoted today causes all south enters to s*u themselves to thinking on this question,’’said Capt. Rucker.‘*Cot-. ton is going at. a lower price this season: than it has since the war. It is lower than it has been in fifty years, and only twice in sixty years buve the prices dropped below those now quoted This fact plainly convinces any rea soluble man that something is wrong in tbe matter, aud that it needs a rem edy.” THE CAUSE GIVEN. ► "What is the cause? It can be an* sveied very briefly The immediate cause of low prices results from tbre» thiui-: l>t —The last year’s crop was a very large one. It was at least 9,000,000 bales, and was unprecedented. The far tners umlor advice held their cotton, ami as a matter of faui lost a great deal of money on it. Tbi year they have been com pelled to market the crop very early it order to meet their obligations. The prices have been lowered in that re spect. dud.—The crop this year has been marketed at an ext.omely rapid rate. Las year’s crop held back and this sea son’ crop rushed forward, brings the bulk ol the two crops together on tbe market aud the result is seen in tbe enormous amount of cotton now held at American ports. A great many say the crop is short this year, but the best indications point to at least an 8,000,000 bale crop. There have already been uiarketedo.OOO.OOO bales in three months aud it stands to reason that in tbe next nine months there will be3,000,000bales added to the receipts for the season. 3rd.—The most potent reason for low prices is the fact that tbe nation is now passing through a terrible financial cri sis. Taken all in all, the South has never seen a worse year in regard to money matters since the war. The re sult ol this stringency is to force the ■uruier to sell bis cotton and to cause tbe merchant to have much less money to pay him tor it.” These three reasons show clearly why cotton is so low in price, and the far mer is left to determine what he will do w ith big cotton that is remaining upon the farm. SELL YOUK COTTON NOW. "The truth of the matter is” said Capt, Rucker, “that the ootton crop of this section is short. It is evidenced not only by our receipts being so low but by the general tightness of the money market here. Athens- will get barely more than half her receipts of last year, mostly on account of short crops and to a targe degree from rail road freight discriminations. “Should the farmer sell bis cotton now or hold it?” was asked by the re porter. ‘Sell it by all moans,” was the reply “I speak as il I was in the farmer’s place and seeking the best w ay out of the difficulty. The prluc of cotton may go still lower than at|pr^en’, although 1 btlieve it has reached its depth. If the Cr , P should go to nine millions, prices would go below sis cent*. While l do hot believe the prioes will 'fit much tower, if any, still at the same time I do not believe there will be any appre ciable rise; at lea-1 not enoucb to 'var iant the farmer in holding his cotton, if he holds it until May or June it .will cost him at least one cent per ponrd, *nd I do not believe tbe prices will go U P that amount during this season *he farmer has absolutely nothing to 8*in by holding his cotton. On thg other hand it would be much _ for him to sell it now for wbat i l only one thing that is absolutely nec essary, and upon that proposition al most every one will agree when they look into the true state of affairs with out passion or prejudice. The Cotton Chop Must Be Reduced. There is no donbt but that the people are suffering from a lack of money, hut be money plentiful or scarce, the cotton yield must be re duced. I know it is a hard thing to do, and the farmers are increasing their acreage every year. But under the ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNING DECEMBER 8, 1891 TOTHE PUBLIC.

Mr. Crisp is the younger of the two, of con ceded ability, of amiable character, ahd if elected wid make a good speaker. The effort at tempted in some quarters to revive the old line of high tariff has conspicuously failed of materialization, ntvi never had anything buck of it.
