LANCASTER-Review, October 4 ::
Presiding Elder Campbell of Rock
Hill is reported to be rapidly improv'
ing from the effect of the injuries he
sustained by the running away OF MS
horse some days ago. .''''''''Captaln Il.
J. Perry, of Heath Springs is buying
cotton on this market now, for Latta
Brothers, of Yorkville. He has pur-
chased quite number OF bales since
his arrival here about week ago. '.''''
We note a tendency here and else
where to disparage Lancaster's claims
as a cotton market. 1t is alleged tnat
we are not paying as much for the
staple as neighboring markets are DO,
ing. Judging from the prices quoted
by our Monroe, Yorkville and Ches'
ter contemporaries, their markets have
been ahead of ours for several days,
but, as we all know, newspaper quo
tations are frequently misleading
Oftentimes the price paid for fancy
bale is heralded abroad as the prevail
ing price of a market for that day,
when as a matter of fact the most OF
the sales were far below in price that
of the exceptionally good bale. vi
course if our buyers are not keeping
up with the procession the fact should
be made known, but the market
should not be run down purely on
newspaper quotations.
