ed. Mr.. Small has the largest to-
bacco producing country in the world
in his district. 1t is the county OF
Pitt, and naturally he takes a deep
interest in the subject. There are
several bills before the committee
having in view relief for the tobacco
growers. One, introduced by John
Wesley Gaines of Tennessee, pro-
vides that growers may sell and buy
natural leaf at any time or place.
and permits them to stem and twist
their W product.
Mr.. Gaines said to-day that he had
letters from many States saying that
growers would be here in person and
that all the State tobacco %associa-
tions have written that their officers
will attend the notwithstanding
ton Post.

Proposed Relief for Tobacco Growers.

The bill permitting growers to
stem and twist their own tobacco is
coming up for a hearing before the
subcommittee on Ways and Means
in the House Thursday, February

ly if they have not sold cotton, and
if a break appears, to remember that
10 cent cotton was deemed a high
figure some months ago, and that
cotton sold at anything above this Is
being sold for good money, money

FIFTEEN CENT COTTON AT LAST
With a Steady Tone and a Strong De-
mand Cotton Sells in Raleigh at
Fifteen Cents Per Pound.

Fifteen Cents Per Pound.
Fifteen cent cottonl
1t is a high figure, but is it going
higher?
That's a question many folks
would like to be able to answer, but
the prophets who told of fifteen cent
cotton before the first of February,
say, owe were no Jonah men,"
The outlook for an advance is
promising, but was it not Henry
Grady who once remarked, "Cotton
is darned fool"
The market is firm and strong, yet
when you talk with cotton dealers
there is in their faces and in their
tones ample evidence that they re-
gard the situation as a tense one, SO
tense that a snap or a break would
not surprise them.
But when you study the situation
as it is, there comes a feeling that
the present figures are safe for a
time, and that the increasing compe-
tition for cotton by the mills must
necessarily drive the price forward.
Continental spinners are laying in
supplies at present rates as rapidly
as possible, cotton is called for from
abroad and the mills in this country
must be supplied. They can't do
without cotton and that they are now
paying Is cents a pound for it shows
that it must be worth that price to
them.
1t was stated yesterday in RALEIGH
that cotton goods made from 15-cent
cotton are selling at a profit. Not
the fancy profit made at lower fig
ures, but still a profit. AS long as
this is so it is certain that cotton
will be bought at a high figure, and
az the cotton mills of the South are
in supplies only on a 'hand to
mouth" plan, the price must be paid
to get the cotton needed.
There were sold here yesterday
twenty-five bales of cotton at prices
ranging from 14B cents a pound to
Is cents a pound. A year ago yes
terday cotton was exactly 6 cents
lower, selling for 9 cents a pound,
and on hat day forty bales were sold
in Raleigh.
Some mill men whose foresight"
has knocked the spots out of the
"hindsight" of other mill men, have
reaped a harvest of dollars in this
great advance. Some are known to
have laid in thousands of bales at
figures from 8 cents to 10 cents a
pound. Cotton that some months
ago sold at 8 cents, being now worth
Is cents, shows a gain of $50 a bale
on a 5OO-pound bale. That is 100000
profit on each thousand bales that
these mill men are to the good, and
there are some in North Carolina
who can multiply this by ten or ff-
teen.
A feature of the advance in the
market since 1872 cents was reached
is that it has been a steady one, with
