T. W. Hunter Co. say Of today's cotton
market: Merrily the race goes to see VINO
can sell his cotton the fastest and the cheap
est. To sell it, sell 1t quick, and sell 1t all
is the struggle by day and the dream by night
of the farmer, the merchant the buyer In the
country and the fever extends up through
the various handlers In the larger cities and
over all branches of the entire cotton trade.
llCuston's estimate of Al 900 bales, which was
mere than double last years receipts. is some
thing tremendous. and New Orleans expects
5000 bales more than the same day last year.
The railroads are bringing the cotton TO mar
Ike. as fast as their best capacity will permit
and still there Is only small hole made in
the solGid rush by feverish sellers of cent
cotton. They think It may be cents tomor-
row, cents next week and before the end
OF October they may have to pay premium to
get people to take 1t away from them. Cotton
is already many points below the cost or pro.
duotion. but this doesn't matter. The pro-
dutcr has taken front place as rampant bear
and why should anybody else try to help him
save his money. In few weeks. possibly In
few days, maybe already. he will have gotten
rid Of his crop. then the market will do bet
ter, and 1t will be best for the whole country
for hin: to sell out Just quickly as pos
sible

II seems as though new low record Is set
every day these times. AT the beginning VI
the cotton season the most rampant bear du
not predict such low prices as early in the
season as September, although they generally
looked for very cheap cotton.
That the Texas crop is enormous the re-
ceip,s at Houston verify. Last Tuesday all
previous records were broken when the rail-
roads landed 35, 226 bales In the city. To-
morrow that record will be knocked into
smitbereens, the estimated receipts being 40
