cotton market yesterday, and some two
hundred bales were bought. The price
was on basis of eight cents for mid

ding is offered on this market, the price
for the cotton bought was IA cents.
One buyer said 1.-THE farmers are
coming to the same conclusion that the
buyers who are long on cotton have
reached-that the price will not go back
to nine cents, and that the present price
is about all that we may expect. And
they have begun to bring their cotton to
market again. Cotton is selling on the
Raleigh market now at about the same
figure as New York futures"

TAX VALUATIONS.
The Indications are that There Will be
Little Change If Any from Last Year.


Talking yesterday with State Auditor
Furman about the returns of the valua-
ton of taxable property in North Caro-
lima, he said that the indications, from
the counties so far heard from, were
that there would be no decrease la valu-
alton of property.
The falling off in the assessments in
Georgia are very great, and it was feared
that the same falling off would be seen
in North Carolina. Instead of a reduc-
ton OF values all along the line, quite a
number of counties show increased valua-
ton in the tax returns There is an Ia
crease in Alamance of 1927, 594; Bun
eombe, a619, 470; Guilford, $312, 243; Moo. Q
$l13, 065; Forsyth, $53,621; New Han
over 1922, 234; Burke. 1896; Hartford,
$41 1878; Randolph, $17, 982; Union $4S,-
612, and other counties. TIE reduction
so far as reported are Wake, 1901. 746,
Johnston, $3.50, 343; Cabarrus, $177. 1886,
and Iredell, 1856, Ala, show the greatest
decrease, while the falling off is less in
other counties. In Mecklenburg it is
$50, SOB: Durham, sos, 002; Cumberland,
sl,101 Person, $52, 173; Sampson, $685.
o2s; Washington, $81, 843, and Wayne,
\$62, $50.
The falling off in Wake exceeds half
million dollars. Can it be true that the
fall in values has been so much9 Or
have the assessments in Wake been too
high heretofore2 These are questions
that concern every tax payer in Wake
county. There is no doubt that there
has been some depreciation in lands.
The horse sale yesterday showed that
there had been great depreciation in the
value of horses at least yesterdays
buyers thought so.
