BEARS HOLD PLACE OF BULLS.
Horned Element Run at Sight of the
Claws,

Element Run at Sight of the
Claws.
Bruin still stood erect III the cotton
pit yesterday and bid defiance to the
bull contingent, still in cafe retreat in
the tall timber. The market continued
to sag in the middle and curl down at
both ends, and by degrees values went
still lower
Nine and three-eights was the top
price paid in Americus.
This is drop of cent pound, or
IS bale within the past two weeks,
and the wonder IS that enormous re-
ceipts throughout the cotton belt have
not forced values lower.
Even this price is half cent pound
better than was paid as this date last
season,
The recent rapid decline will have
the effect of reducing receipts, and in
time prices are certain to advance.
Farmers are IN easy circumstances
now, having sold so much of the crop
at high prices, aud are in shape to sit
steady in the boat.
The entire South, every market, is
congested with cotton.
Such conditions as now prevail have
never been known before. Warehouses,
railway depots and congresses are de-
luged, this condition prevailing at
wellnigh every cotton point
With so much cotton in sight, to-
gether with the inability of railroads
and presses to handle it as rapidly as it
pours in, the price naturally declines.
The crop is not such an enormous one
by any means, but has matured and is
being picked all at once
Values ARE sure to rebound, and
farmers who hold their bales until
after Christmas will get a price we'll
above that now offered.
