The COTTON MARKET
TAKES An ADVANCE
Local Demand Makes Raleigh

RECEIPTS ARE VERY LIGHT

Those ct Last
Year,

1t is most gratifying TO the tanners
to see that the price Of cotton on the
Raleigh market j. increasing, but It has
not yet reached the figure Of ten cent
which has been set Is the minimum price
it is worth.
Raleigh has been slowly but steadily adj
vancing from a figure which hung about
eight cents for awhile and has now
reached nine and a half cents, while yes
terday some few bales sold at a sixteenth
of a cent higher than this.
That the cotton crop in this section il
a small one as compared with last year
IS the report that every cotton planter
who comes to Raleigh brings, and though
the receipts this week exceed those OF
this week last year the total for the sea
son is way behind that Of last season. The
sales this week nave been $50 bales
against 500 this week last year; an ex-
cess Of 184 bales.
Up to this date last year there had
been sold on the Raleigh market 6,124
bales OF cotton, the prices ranging from
"a to 3-S cents. This year for the
same period the receipts have been 2.72S
bales, with an average OF about 8 cents q
pound. This makes this years sales here
four less than 3,400 bales Of last seasons
sales.
These figures show that the crop is a
small one, and this opinion is also borne
out by the reports from various sections
Of the State. While there is much cot
ton that Is being held back for 4 ten
cent price, yet this does noS account for
the marked decrease III the sales, which
show clearly that the crop in this section
is a small one.
A local cotton man said yesterday that
in the price paid for spot cotton Raleigh
was leading the world, and he accounts
for this by stating that the local demand
Of the mills here is responsible for this.

Little to be Thankful For.
(By the Associated Press

Ottawa, Ont, Get. 1.-THE Canadian
government has not yet received Official
notification of the proposed decision il
the Alaska Boundary case. If the deci-
SION Is as reported, namely. that Portland
Canal IS to remain IN Canadian territory.
there IS a feeling in official circles that
the Dominion has not much to be thank
ful for. Canada, in holding the Portland
Canal, retains Wales and Pcarse Islands,
which overlook Port Simpson, the pro-
posed terminus Of the Grand Trunk Pa
clic. 1t would be inconvenient to have
lost these islands, but as they were clear
iy marked on Vancouycr's map as being
IN Canada. It Is difficult to see how this
could have been done. North of Port
