 The bale weighs 5O1 pounds and classes middling. It was raised by negro, Peter Minter, on the estate of J. F. O'Brien, near Burnsville, and. except for the rains or the past few days, would have been l marketed @ week ago. It was consigned to c. W. Hooper & Co. of Selma, and was stored at Erhart's warehouse. The receipt of the cotton had been aIl- ticipated,. and it created the usual stir among cotton men. R.. E. l.. Neil was auctioneer at the Cotton Exchange this morning and the bidding was brisk. This seasons first bale Is nearly a month later than last years. for the sea- son of 1902-0S the first bale came on July %. With the exception of one season, c. W.
