GAINESVILLE COTTON MILL.
Project Is Well Under Way to- Build
n 100000 Plant.

Gainesville, Ca. March "A 500. COO cot
ton mill is the latest thing in the way of
factories for Gainesville. The indications
point toward the success of this project.
Mr.. J. T. Woodside of Greenville, S. c.,
has been here recently, and after con-
ferring with some of our leading citizens,
made the proposition that If Gainesville
would raise 100000 TO put in cotton fac
tory. he would invest an equal amount
A number of citizens agreed to give him
their earnest support to secure this
amount.
Several of them conferred with Mr.
Woodside last Saturday. Several thousand
dollars were subscribed at the conference
and a site chosen for the mill, as well as
a name. The name of the mill is to be
Woodside Cotton Mill. The stock is 10

On Monday, Mayor r. D. Mitchell and
several of the most prominent bankers of
the city went among the leading business
men of Gainesville to solicit subscriptions
About SOS 900 was subscribed before night
Mr.. Woodside<is a brother of Mr. j. j.
Woodside of the Gainesville Oil Mills. Mr.
]. d. Woodside came TO us with a similar
proposition in regard TO building an oil
mill last year. The oil mill has been built
and has been doing a thriving business for
several months 1t is paying nearly 20
per cent. and the stock is hardly purchas-
able at any price now.
The question now before Gainesville Is
will she raise the required amount or will
she refuse and let the mill go elsewhere IL
is almost certain that the amount will be
raised.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, March "A very large bust
ness was transacted in cotton to-day with
the course of the market irregular from
start to finish. At the outset there was an
advance of Tm23 points. This was largely
owing 10 better class of cables than had
been looked for, leading to active covering
and some renewed speculative buying
after which there was a period of reaction
which reduced the advance of 10d17 points
The reason for this drop was found in the
failure of the English market to maintain
ell the earlier advance. The easier ruling
Of the public cables were attended by pri-
waite cables to the effect that spinners were
holding large supplies; that sections of
the Oldham railroad sheds were over
crowded with cotton; that the early ad-
vance al Liverpool was largely due to out
side speculative buying, including the
purchase of 5000 bales July and August
cotton by an Egyptian party
Receipts to-day were a bullish factor
Later trading became very active and the
market was decidedly firmer; prices ad-
vanced 10 level 23GIH points above yes
terday's closing figures. The rally was
largely due 10 an influx of orders follow
ing telegraph dispatches sent all around
calling attention TO New York as the low

Morning News Office. March 9--The To-
cal cotton market furnished the features
of the weeks business. Conditions were
wholly unset tiled, towing to the excitement
which prevailed in the New York future
market, causing it to advance sharply on
covering by shorts, and 20 later react
promptly under favorable conditions. The
break on Thursday was from 10 % points
the reaction to-day was from 20 to 36
points. Throughout the week sales in New
York .have been very large. The. furry
there has NOT had much influence in the
local market, however. as holders have
stood pat, and refused to sell at the de-
clines, believing that the market would
recover its losses.
Factors did fairly good business dur
ing the week, Notwithstanding the dis
erations. The total transactions on the
table were 72l bales, and 74,OT9 bales for
the season. The receipts for the week
were SO,2SO bales, and the exports 4O,64s
bales. The advance of 1-16 cent to-day on
all grades is believed to be a starter for
the recovery of recent declines, which it
seems probable will be made up shortly.
Naval stores was at a standstlll during
the week. and only nominal business
was done. Spirits turpentine went off
gradually, closing firm to-day at 53i5
cents, with sales of so casks. Resins clos
ed unchanged, with nothing doing. Until
there is a decline IL is not believed bust
ness will be done in resins 10 any consid-
cradle extent.
