ALMOST REACHED
ELEVEN PENNIES,
Price of Cotton Went Within a Quar-
ter Cent.
AMERICUs is STILL A LEADEE
Price Advanced Another Quarter Yes
terday and Fleecy Went Near The
Eleven Cent Notch. A Slight De-
cline In Afternoon.

1t is "the calm after the storm" in
cotton circles, and after t. he most SEN
sational experience in years the mar
ket is now beginning to adjust itself
upon a solid basis at the highest level
to which prices have advanced in a de-
cade. The past week was indeed an
eventful one.
Rarely has the market been in such
a wild state so long time,
Fortunes were made and swept away
during the whirlpool of excitement,
but fortunately this did not affect any
one here. It was the steady advance
in price that helped us.
At the opening of the market yester-
day an advance of dozen points in the
several positions was noted, though
this was not very long maintained. In
the natural order of things there was
gradual decline from the highest notch
until a loss of twenty-five points was
noted.
January lost "a for the day, Septem-
Der 40 and October 80 points.
Before the slump began, however,
Americas buyers paid the highest
prices for the staple, the market reach
ing ten and three-quarter cents while
a few very fancy bales were held for
eleven. But it didn't touch it.
AS rule farmers were quite willing
to sell at prevailing prices, and many
bales went at 1O4 to 1O1 cents and some
at the highest-103cts.
This made the average bale net the
producer $52. so to $58 20 per bale.
This was about double the amount he
received for bale at this date last
year, when cotton sold around the 81
cent mark. The farmer is indeed
lucky fellow this year, and feels happy.
It is hardly expected that the market
will drop as low as ten cents, in the
event of a temporary decline, and it
will eventually go higher than it has
gone yet.
