WAY AHEAD OF LAST YEAR.
SaVannah'S Cotton Receipts 50 Far
More Than all Of Last Seasons.

The Total Receipts From Sept. to
Yesterday 1884, Bales-The En-
tire Receipts for 1898 Only
7e1,2I1 Bales-Savannah Pulling
Rapidly Toward the Million Mark.
The Market on Decline.
The movement of cotton here continues
heavy and yesterdays receipts, added to
the amount already received since Sept. l,
is ahead of the entire receipts of last sea-
son. The netreceipts since Sept 1, 1898, are
1884, bales, while the receipts from
Sept. l. 1892, to Aug. 81, 1898. were T91, 211
bales.
If the heavy receipts continue in such
an extraordinary volume, Savannah Will
reach the million notch before the end of
the season. Statistics show that during
last season, between Jan. % and Aug. 81,
10000 bales of cotton were received at
this port, and to reach 100000 by Aug.
81, 1894, Savannah will have to receive
207 900 bales more. This appears
very probable if the present movement
can be considered an indication of the
stocks still remaining in Georgia.
The large amount of cotton coming in
sight has caused sharp declines in the
prices. The market closed yesterday at
~ cents for middling. The price on the
same day last year was 81 cents for the
same grade,
