Brunswick, Fopt. 8.—(Special.)—Six
teen days have passed and no new or
suspicious cases are reported.
Aroused by the action of Brunswick’.*
council yesterday, the government of
ficials realized flip mistake they were
making and extreme injustice toward
Brunswick they were displaying in con
sulting Health Officer Brunner in re
gard to raising the quarantine, and
they today atoned for their unwar
rantable mistake by wiring Surgeon
General Wyman to order the quaran
tine against Brunswick raised, as o'l
danger was over. The cities and towns
of Georgia immediately raised th.-'.r
quarantine, releasing Brunswick from
her barriers, aurt once more giving her
people a lighting chance for life and
business.
The majority of the 4,000 people here
now are laborers, and many of their
families are receiving help from the
relief commit*** but in a few weeks
their work will be resumed and the
battle for bread will be more equalized.
Help, however, will be needed for them
for several weeks yet, and contribu
tions will be gratcfuiiy received.
Officer Brunrnr ot Savannah, who ’*
commonly dubbed Brunswick's* arch
enemy, has been quoted hi telegrams
from Savannah as being determined
to maintain quarantine against Bruns
wick. If this is done the malice dis
played will be seen through clearly bv
the- people of Georgia, and Just con
damnation will be meted out to the
municipality that allows it. The harm
such action wall do Brunswick will ho
nothing. Brunswick is Savaunah't
business riva 1 . but it Is not believed
here that such an Infamous action will
be permitted b> Suvannahians. The
government surgeons have declared
Brunswick free from disease, anti their
statements can be relied upon.
Burgeon Magruder is here to wind up
the government's affairs. The govern
ment sent 115,00t here for the surgeons
to draw on for expenses, snd they will
be able to pay all bills contracted.
Burgeon Hutton is batter today.
Dr. R. E. L. burford has been ap
pointed assistant marine hospital sur
geon, and has taken charge of Bruns-
Wick's quarantine. He will remain at
quarantine periranently, hut will be
allowed to return to .he city after frost.
Ilia appointment is generally indorsed,

Washington, Sept. 9.—The Septem
ber cotton report of the department of
agriculture shows a decline from the
August condition of the crop of full
7 points, being 73.4 this month as
against 80.4 last month. This is the
lowest September condition since 18.81,
which stood at 70. The condition in
September, 1802, was 70.8, for same
month ,n the years of 1801 and 1800
it was 82.7 and S5.8, respectively.
The state aveftges ore: Virginia 03,
North Carolina 70, South Carolina 03.
Georgia 77, Florida S3, Alabama 78,
Mississippi 78, Louisiana SI, Texas 03,
Arkansas 80, Tennessee 07.
In addition to the unfavorable condi
tion among which the drought has been
prominent, correspondents of the de
partment ascribe the falling off in con
dition of crop to the ravages of insect
enemies of the plant, such as caterpil
lars and 'boll, army and leaf worms.
Dost as a cause of damage is also ex
tremely noted. The hurricane of Au
gust 28 caused much damage to the
crop In the states of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia and <n a
less degree in the state of Florida.
Reports from the state of Alabama
show an excess ot moisture in some
parts of the slate. In some places the
plant Is taking on a second growth,
which is not considered beneficial, and
others there is sprouting and rotting
the boll*. Seven counties of the
state report too rapid opening; eighteen
that the plant is shedding badly, and
forty-eight report rust.
Correspondents’ reports from Missis
sippi are to the effect that the crop is
doing finely and the weather is fnvoru
ble for the present condition.
In Louisiana excessive rains cany in
August caused old cotton to sited bad-
while young cotton was not bene
fited, os the growth was in weed
stend of fruit.
With the exception of the counties
Sebastian and Scott, the report,
from Arkansas show the crop to be be
low the average.
In Texas the plant Is small every
where, both early and late planting.

avenue.
If we look back over the first nine
days of our net# cotton year, we find
many things of importance and interest
to the trade. First comes Secretary
Hester’s report of the New Orleans cot
ton exchange, a carefully prepared doc
ument, full of information and showinc
the increased consumption of the south
ern cotton mills, in which South Caro
lina leads, with Georgia a close second.
Then came the government report on
the cotton crop, In which we are told
the condition is 73.4 against 76.8 last
year, and 80.4 on August 10, 1893.
In the list as given by states Georgia
stands at 77 again-1 79 a year since,
and 83 on August 10.
South Carolina la reported at 63
against 77 a year since, 75 on Au
gust 10.
It is but fair to say the government
report differs so materially with private
information the trade Is at a loss to
understand it at all, and they receive
it with many grains of allowance, for,
if correct, it points to a crop of about
1,000,UOu bales less than last year.
The figures are the lowest Issued In
any Bepteinoer since the disastrous sea
son of list, when the yield was cut
down to less than O.iMJ.Ouo bales.
Next came the report of the commer
cial agency, which assured us things
were looking better, mills resuming,
banks reopening, etc., etc.
On August 31 January futures closed
in New York at 7.89, and on September
9 the same month closed at 8.43, a net
gain of 54 points, equal to 63.70 per
bale.
Spot cotlon always follows more
closely, and is never as high or as low
as futures. Then tn this case It is a
close second, advancing in the same
number or days from. 7 i>-8 in New York
to 81-8.
The advance was caused by reported
d:u.<ug«. to tne crop by storm over It he I
Atlantic states. The continued light re
ceipt*, the fear of drought in Texas,
and the improvement in financial and
commercial circles, and the general be
lief that the crop must be a short one
and the conviction that the congress of
the United States will adjust the money
or the country and buatneas would re
vive. Again, two leading papers of
Texas a<iviscd their constituents to
hold their cotton, ns Texas wa» virtu
ally independent, and that light re-
ceipta would bring about a funner ad
vance. Fears ot another storm over
the Atlantic coast aud reports coming
from the Eastern states of, the gradual
resump-ion of work by the American
mills all had their effect..
MOVEMENT OF COTTON.
According to Secretary Hester's New
Orleans Cotton Exchange report. Is
sued on the 8th, the commercial year of
1893-91 opens with a much smaller
movement uf cotlon than, has been
shown In either Met year or the year
before.
The statement covers the past week
and the first eight days of the season,
making the amount of the American
cotton crop brought into sight for the
week 13,661, against 61.801 in Septem
ber. 1892, and 106,869 the same time In
1891. Fur the eight days of September
the movement Into sight has been 48.-
920, against 70.801 qnd 121,873. showing
a falling off of 61 per cent, from last
year, and 60 from the year before.
As was predicted In these columns
some time since, the total crop as made
up by the Financial Chronicle, which
is accepted authority, differs from the
New Orleans report; the latter makes
the total crop of last season 6,717.000
bates thundreds omitted.)

WHITE’S COTTON LETTER.
By Direct Wire to Lyon & James.
New York. Sept. 9.—Today’s market
was entirely dependent upon the bureau
report Before tecelving It fluctuations
were caused by orders which were based
upon opinions of what the report would
be, and after the receipt of the report
the market advanced, as the percentage
of the condition was far below expecta
tions and all that can be said on the sub
ject Is that If it Is true cotton is cheap
at preseiit prices. Many are fnoltnod to
ridicule it, saying tnat it is too bad to be
true.
The Chronicle this morning says: Over
a large portion of the cotlon belt the
weather has been rather unfavorable the
past week. Drought continues at most
points In Texas. Deterioration has taken
place in Tennessee, owing to lack of
moisture, rust, boll worms and shedding
has done damage in Arkansas. Mlssisslp-
