COTTON NOW AND NEXT SPRING.
The Atlanta Constitution Predicts
Higher Prices Later On.

Cotton experts, including middle
men and purchasing agents, agree in
saying that the reason why the in
coming crop is selling at 9 cents and
fractions above is because of the con-
ditions in the money market.
While it is admitted that there
is money enough in the banks and
available to them to handle the crop
at 10 cents and more per pound, and
the mill people would gladly stock
up for future needs around that
figure, they cannot get the ready
loan money from the banks for that
purpose. Even now the southern
mills are buying in only small guam
titles because of the possible contin-
gencies of the market and the IN"
willingness of the banks to advance
money for larger supply stocks.
Many mills that use from twenty to
fifty bales per day have out orders
to purchase so many day by day, and
urging sales of their goods to sup
ply cash for current purchases.
The banks are keeping close watch
on crop reports and on the cotton
goods markets. The latter have been
very tight recently and no great in
crease of demand for the piece goods
is felt even yet, with the oncoming
of winter. Prices do not rise because
the consumption of the goods has
fallen off, indicating that the people
cannot or will not pay more for
them.
Yet this condition cannot long re-
main. The cotton is needed and must
be taken up by the manufacturers,
who cannot afford to allow their
plants to lie idle. Cotton is cheaper
today, calculated on the basis of vis-
ible crop and probable demand, at
10 cents per pound than it was a
year ago at $50 cents per pound

they could in saving goods and inn
peding the progress Of the file. One

the Manning Grocery Company, was
total loss.
The losses. as near as can be de-
! termined, are: W E Jenkinson, loss
on stock between 100000 and $40,-
900, With $4,000 insurance. The
goods in the millinery and furniture
departments, valued at some 5000,
were saved with considerable damage
thereon.
The above losses do not include
the building, which is valued at scv-
eral thousand dollars, protected by a
reasonable amount of insurance, and
owned by the Rev S A Nettles, of
the South Carolina Conference. The
Manning Grocery Company loses
about $4,000, insurance $500. The
r B Loryea drug store will lose by
damage to building, by falling wall,
possibly 5000. B A johnson, gen
eral merchandise, lost, in removing
stock, possibly 5000 or more.
