ton, In Brenham there is sharp
competition, there being eight
regular cotton buyers, who de-
vote their whole time attention
to handling cotton, and in addi-
ton to them many of our mer-
chants also buy cotton. A far
mer bringing his cotton to Bren-
ham can get spot cash for it,
every cent it is worth when sold.
The cotton exchange here gets
the market reports by telegraph
and if there is an advance the
farmergcts the benefit of it at
once.
