crop ia considerably smaller than that OF
last wear. not nearly as much cotton is reach
ing the ports as there did In past years when
the crop was no larger than II Ia this year.
In past years II was not possible TO hoid tne
not the money TO enable those owning It
TO do so. This year there is plenty of money
for that purpose. and II is not borrowed from
New York II is money belonging to the
south The country banks have an abundance
of money. Some OF them have more than
they can lend on such security as they want;

cotton can get 1T. and do get 1t. from the

The following telegram was received BY

New York, November i4.-Bull movement In
cotton not over; reaction has clarified stua-
ton Replies to 1000 kilograms received today
con vince us crop shorter than any one be-
lieves. and Sc cotton more probable than ever.
Price, Mccormick e. Co.
During the pnst week IT is stated on good
authority the continent bought about 100000
bales in Texas. Tho bulk of the buying at
the South OF late is believed by some usually
well informed TO have been by American
mills and spectators. Some think that many
mills have only three TO four months supply
OF raw cotton on hand, while at the same
time their production OF goods is sold ahead
for nine months. Another argument is TO tho
effect that large purchases by Southern mills
have had the effect of keeping cotton away
from Atlantic markets. thus explaining the
light receipts.
