Cotton Ties.
They Will be Raised to Twice
the Price.

For some time merchants and plan
ters have been enquiring of the cotton
tie dealers what the price Of ties would
b.. Those 10 Augusta who sell TO job
bers were unable to answer until yes
terday, when there was an announce
ment that was altogether startling
The manufacturers of ties, located
mostly in the iron regions Of Pe"nsyl-
vauia, have pooled their interests, and
the farmer will pay twice as much this
year as be did last for his ties
Here are the 6eeres as they we're
quoted here on yesterday:
In lots Of 1000 bundles. 81 % l-2.
Ii lots less than 1000 S1.27 II.
Last year ties sold at 65 cents per
bundle to jobbers
ibis year the poor farmer will pay
perhaps 81 80 or Sl35. according to
bow much prc6t the merchant vshes 10
uakc of him.
In speaking of the raise in th4 price
by ;ha trust. ooe of the mosr orotDinen'
dealers in this city said to Chronicle
reporter yesterday that it was oatural.
For the past few years, SAID he the
manufacturers have been literally cut
tiug each others :hroats in their Efforts
to outseii. They have sold ties at a
price for which they could not manu-
facture tbem. and hence bave lost much
money. and uow raise the price 10 order
that they may get back some of the
money they have lost in the past few
years fighting one another
OF course the price this year is more
than ties sold for several years ago.
when there was no war on.
In the long run the farmer is losing
nothing. for be has bought ties much
cheaper in the last few years than for
merly. The hardship comes ip having
to pay back this gaio all 10 lump
1t was learned yesterday that the
larger merchants Of Augusta have on
hand perhaps Is per cent. of the ties
they bought last year, DOT having sold
them out because the crop was short
one. % these they realize profit Of
nearly 100 per cent.
Baggiog is also slightly higher. but
the farmer can make up these little dit
fences by putting bis cotton in heavier
bagging, thereby getting the same
price for it that he does for bis cotton. -

as strange that there is not a dancing
club in Lincolns Oh. yes. know you
you will mention the Patriarchs end the
Lincoln club and the Pleasant Hour

there are lots OF good people in the
