ton was worth in New York
the same price 1t brings there now, and the
| same figures ruled in Liverpool as to-day.
Futures in New York last year for January
were II 50, and in Liverpool 1916 for Jan
uary-February, To-day they are Selling
in New York for IL q twenty-nine points
below last year, and in Liverpool at ll-l6,
two-sixtecnths below the correspondents
day in 1880, From this it, would appear
notwithstanding the short crop, that futures
are not as strong as they were last year at
this time.
The total receipts of cotton at all the
ports from September LIST, 1851 to November
18th OF the present year were 2W2,-
OW bales against 2,3OS,0OO for
the same time last year, showing decrease
OF 2bOoo bales. New Orleans has received
over one-fourth of the entire amount this
season. In quantity received Savannah
comes next, Charleston third, Norfolk
fourth, Galveston fifth, and Wilmington
sixth. New York has only received up To
the date given 22,7iS bales.
The Terrell Star says: 1t is now thought
that the seasons receipts of cotton for this
place will fall short of last years, although
II continues TO roll in pretty rapidly up 10
date, There must have been several hun.
dred bales on the streets Wednesday.
The Waco Telephone has taken the pains
to make careful report of the receipts of
cotton at that point, and the probable fu-
ture receipts during the season. Ii SAYS We
do not offer the figures as absolutely cor
| rect, but think them so nearly so that thew
may be accepted. We find that since Sep
TENDER 9th there has been. compressed -.
$40 bales, the stock on hand taken from the
figures at the different yards is 300 bales,
and II is estimated that 800 bales have
been shipped uncompressed. This
would show the receipts ut this point l6, :
Oi5, which we must confess is rather light
but we are inclined to believe will show mn
as we'll, ifnot better, than at other places.
To the above amount may be added | 900
bales received during the month of August
and up to the 9th of September What we
are going to receive hereafter is now more
of matter of speculation and moment
than what has already been received.
We find that there Is the widest
sort of calculations on the part
of cotton men, and we have taken some
pains to get the mean between the two ex-
tremes. In addition to this we have talked
with leading ginners and farmers in all
parts of the county. From them we learn
with very few exceptions, every field has
been picked out, but now there is moro
cotton by far lying at gins and in farmers
yards than most people imagine. From the
best sources of information We believe we
are but very little wide of the actual
amount yet to be marketed
here, when we say 1t will not exceed
5000 bales. In other words we do not
rom all we can gather, incline to the opin,
ION that Waco can get over 25 600 bales this
year. This will be less than half of iast
years product, but the better prices which
have prevailed, the amount of money re-
ceiVed from the sale of cotton seed and what
money has been earned by residents NJ tha
