The Times Recorder article yester-
day morning upon the subject OF
cordage mill was read with a great deal
of interest, and at meeting Of bust
ness men held later IN the day every
assurance was given that this enter
prise would be secured for Americas.
No other effort in this direction, pre-
Vioubly made, has ever received such
earnest consideration or promised such
results.
And in less than six months the plant
will be in operation.
Conservative business men, those
who never take hold Of a scheme that
is not entirely safe and sure, attended
the meeting yesterday morning, and
not only pledged themselves for large
subscriptions but commended the en-
terprlse very highly.
ct is the very best offer that has
ever been made here" was the comment
Of one of them, and in this opinion all
others coEcurred,
The mill man before them made q
clear. business proposition.
He will subscribe, in cash, s., 600.
our people raising the sum of $50, GOO
OF this amount $4,000 will build and
thoroughly equip the plant, leaving
a., 900 in the companys treasury as
working capital Americas men will
control all the affairs of the company.
The output of the plant, cotton rope
cordage of every kind, yarne, etc can
be sold far faster than it can be made,
and at handsome profit to the manu-
facturer.
In fact, it is believed this little mill
can be made to pay 20 or % per cent
the first year.
And in less than three years it will
have grown into a hundred thousand
dollar plant. Such has been the expe-
rience of other covdage mills. The
gentleman who will manage it is thor
oughly experienced, and has success
fully Established other mills
A committee from yesterday meet
ing will 60 out, possibly. today, to raise
whatever subscription may be required
At least SIS, 600 was pledged at yester-
days meeting.

COTTON IS A LITTLE BETTER,
a Slight Improvement in the Contract
Market

The downward tendency of the cot
ton market was checked yesterd ay,
and after a loss of fifty points, sr a
half cent, contracts rallied sharply ere
the close and the market was very
steady. The gain in futures was a
dozen points all round, though spot
cotton was affected but little by the
rally in contracts. Eight cents was
about the best offered yesterday for
good middlings, though further ad-
vance today would cause no surprise
