THE NEW COTTON EXCHANGE
grows apace and in about ninety days the
Handsome structure will be complete Only
a wear ago seats in the exchange were worth
Int 500 each; one sold in September to Il
young 2o-year old friend of mine for $500;
to-day it commands 81 900 This was truly
a bonanza of an investment for young
man. whose cash capital in life's start did
not amount to $1,000. A seat was sold
at auction recently, to close up decedent's
estate, bringing $3.50. The price Of seats
in the Produce Exchange has also cons idc
srably increased bringing oa now v, n MA
b. but SIS to 500 in the early
mart OF October. These facts show
the yalrc of such institutions to a mercan-
tile city. One of these days Dallas may
wake M to the necessity ofposscssing one o.
them. She is large enough now
