COTTON DROPS SOME
Eleven Cents the Highest
Point Yesterday.
Farmers are Cautioned Against Rushing il
Cotton as The Market is feyersh
and Uacertain.

The cotton market in Raleigh fell off
some yesterday.
The receipts were very light, as the far
mers seemed to get wind of the fall and
did not rush in cotton. But Sc bales were
sold, as against 1877 la st year on the same
dcte.
The prices yesterday ranged from 1875
to II cents, and the ruling price was
II cents. On Saturday the figures ranged
from 107s to ia cents and 286 bales were
sold here.
Last week the price kept close about II
cents, usually above that figure. During
the week 1921 bales were sold, as against
6S7 bales for the same week last year.
The market here is not at all steady and
seems feverish 1t is hard to calculate
on what it will do, but figures in the
neighborhood of eleven cents are to be
expected The fear is that the farmers
will rush in cotton and drive the price
lower, and they are cautioned against
closing this
The receipts of the last three weeks
have materially increased the receipts for
this season. The prices for these weeks
have ranged upwards from ten cents and
the farmers who held for this price have
brought in the staple. The receipts to
date this season are $685. bales. against
S,26S bales last year, this demonstrating
a short crop.
The mill men are in the dumps. With
the raw material going up and selling at
over eleven cents they say the market for
their products is inactive and that they
are not getting more than they received
IL 81 -
The market and conditions, as viewed
by Messrs. Charles E. Johnson & Com
pany, cotton merchants, of Raleigh, is set
forth in the following letter issued by the
firm Saturday.
The price of cotton has this week ad-
vanced sharply on what would appear
reasonable grounds, as crop reports from
all sections continue to force upon the
minds OF the most conservative the prob
ability OF a yield, which will fall short
of the worlds requirements. Should high
prices continue, and even higher prices
obtain later on, as predicted by many,
the outlook would be alarming did we
not believe that both yarns and goods
must advance in price also. Articles man
ufactured from cotton are relatively much
cheaped than other commodities Yarns
and cotton goods should advance, and We
believe they will.
"These are our views. We never advo
cate speculation in cotton, but it would
certainly seem the wise course for the
spinner under all the circumstances, not
to sell his goods ahead without providing
himself with the raw material out OF
which to manufacture them.
Some people are talking fifteen cents
cotton per pound for cotton next spring
and summer This would seem utterly
foolish but for our experience of last
spring and summer so all we can say Is
that while fifteen cents is by no means
probable, yet it is possible should the
crop prove much smaller than anticipated,
and below the worlds requirements

A STRONG STAFF.
The Power of Pure Food.

Some years ago when We lived n
New York City husband and l lost four
o. our little ones during the hot weather.
when we moved to Vineland, N. j.,
we made the acquaintance OF the eood
Grcpe-Nuts 1t was here that our little
girl, Majuba, was born but she was so
frail and skinny that we feared We
would lose her as he had the other
babies. When she was eight months old
we learned about Grape-Nuts and began
feeding her this food and now wherever
she goes our friends feel her arms she Is
so plump and her flesh is so firm.
Il am convinced that Grape-Nuts with
little white sugar and boiling water
would save many poor baby's life dur
ing the hot weathre when milk is sour
and the little ones suffer most.
After seeing the power of Grape Nuts
upon our little girl my husband began
Its use and all last summer when we
lived at Essington, Pa, he eat Grape
Nuts and no meat. Although he was
working at the hardest laboring work,

Cotton went down a little bit lower on

sixteenths cents, going from 10 IS to
10 rs.
In ony two cases was cotton sold for
eleven cents, and these cases the cotton

this is that the fluctuations in futures On
the New York market affected the mar

Joints in the market yesterday as early
in the day the market declined and then
later recovered.
There were sold here yesterday Ill
bales of cotton as against 90 bales the
same date last year when the price paid
was exactly three cents less pound than
that paid yesterday.
The farmers who brought cotton here
yesterday say that the crop is short and
