Is enabled to accurately determine what
his grain will sell for in the future. The same

cotton board Is as firmly established planters can
look forward to what they win receive for the
great staple Of the country at n future time. Tho
receipts of cotton In this city up to this date
have not been large, but with the magnificent

former year There will be more small grain
