Among the shipping people there is
some concern about the cotton move
ment following the stormy weather
of the past few days at the more i'm
portant interior shipping points. I'm
less the cotton comes on time the
steamers here cannot load in time to
get away according to their expecta-
lions. Delays are costly, and these
will be avoided if possible. On soma
of the railroads washouts are report
ed and if there is any Interference
with traffic delays to the shipping are
also probable.
