The managers of the Edwards
Manufacturing Co. in this city are not
disturbed by the fact that the price OF
cotton has jumped to 9.17 cents per
pound. for they have on hand 4
sufficient quantity of cotton to last the
mills until December. When it is un-
derstood that the Augusta mills of the
company use 225 bales of 500 pounds
each every week, or a trife over Sc
tons. it may be seen that the supply of
cotton on hand aggregates to quite a
respectable amount. The boom in cot
ton is caused by the backwardness of
the new crop, and the bulls" in the
market have taken advantage of this
condition of things to push the price
upwards. Two years ago when the
position was less acute than it promises
to be this summer, cotton sold for IL
cents per pound before there was any
substantial diminution in the world S
demand.
