COTTON SELLING
FOR 6 1-2C HERE
Good MiddIing Brings Six and
Three Quarters,
CROP WAS 0VERESTlMAl Ed
This is the Cause of the Rise in Price
Some Farmers Are Holding
Back Crops fer Bigger
Figures

Cotton has taken another rise and Bir-
mingham buyers are Low paying Ga cents
for mddling IL round lots. Good middiing
finds a ready sale at ga cents.
Local buyers are keeping up with the
stock market and from present Indications
the prices FOR spot cotton will continue to
advance. 1t is said by leading cotton ex-
perts that the crop was oyerestimated by
a misiion bales or more and this accounts
fol- the sudden rise in prices. Il has been
previously estimated that She crop would
reach 100000 bales bus il IS nov appar-
ent this will fail over million short
i ii (; tci :'atl.
Local cotton men are of tie opinion that
the highest price mas not yet been reached
and thai farmers will be getting cents
fer tseir cotton before the sid of the sea-
sen The planters are also of this belief
ard are now refusing to ell All that is
bong bought in by merchants Thu jnghout
the state is being stored IN warehouses and
tie cotton Buyers aie having a hard time,
Every one is holding back for another rise.
On the first advance everybody was willing
to sell on tie grounds that the huctuation
vas momentary. The continued advance
has caused a clog in tie market, however,
and comparatively few sales are being
made.
Shur:uess ot the Crop
Tho shortness of this years crop is the
greatest blessing Alabama farmers have
received fer years. Many mortgages which
would have been foreclosed with cotton
at four and five cents are being paid off
under the present price, some planters
clearing money.
Hundreds of farmes who had come to the
conclusion tnat cotton raising was I'M
profitable are overjoyed at the prospects
Gu paying out of debt this fall
The good grade of cotton that is being
gathered is also source of joy. The crops
are probably in better condition than they
have been for years Very little dirty cot
ton is being marketed. The falling of
parched leaves has injured the staple to a
certain degree, but the scarcity of rains
has helped the condition of cotton consid-
erably. Middling is common throughout the
state and many bales of good middling are
being bought daily.

Wallace Circus Arrested.
The Wallace Circus was arrested in
Greenwood last Wednesday. The cor
respondent of the Columbia State tells
the story: "The entire Wallace show
outfit was under arrest for several
hours in this city last night, and at one
time it looked as if the show would
remain here indefinitely. At the af-
ternoon performance several gambling
games were in full blast under the can
vass and S. H. Horne, well-to-do
farmer, went up against one of the
games and came out loser to the
amount of 5000. Mr.. Horne reported
the matter TO the police and also EN-
ployed Mr.. F. B. Grier to look after
the case. Mr.. Horne, acting under
the advice of his attorney, swore out
warrant before Magistrate Austin
against men named Hines, Smith and
Others connected with the show, charg.
lug them with conspiring to defraud
him out of the sum mentioned. Smith
was arrested and placed in Jail, and
the word 'others' used in the warrant
was construed so as to include the
drivers of the wagons. AS they drove
up to the cars to load the circus para
phernalia they were placed under ar
rest and carried to the court house,
and the court room was being rapidly
filled. The work of loading the cars
was summarily stopped. Finally one
of the managers of the circus saw
Horne and the case was settled by the
circus paying Horne the amount he
claimed to have lost, 1920. The men
under arrest were, therefore, released,
and the work of loading the cars was
resumed about 10 o'clock. A number
of other parties were heeced by the
fakirs connected with the show; but
the amounts were smaller than Horne's
and no other case was made out"
