Distress Among Cotton RMiscrx.
The tremendous slump in cotton
has been the sensation Of the week.
The government report OF cotton
ginned up to Dec. 18th, gave the a.
tonishlng figure Of 11.Ss6, SO hales.
This shows crop Of nearly II, ,50O. 600
bales. As consequence the price de-
clined to 6kc for rniddifng. The best
informed cotton men advise against
selling at these figures. .as they be-
lieve that by tiding through the liqui-
dation OF the first days OF January
an Improvement in prices may be ex-
pected In spite Of the big crop reported.
