Several records have already been
smashed by Savannah's cotton trade
this season and another one went yes
terday
This time a new record has been es-
tablished for the largest shipments
for any one day in the history of the
trade at this port. They amounted to
more than $4,000 bales, uplands and
sea islands, and their value, in round
figures. is $4,00O.0OO.
OF course not all of the ships car
rying this enormous amount of cot
ton sailed during the day. AS a mat
ter of fact one or two of them got
away Saturday and others Sunday,
though four of them left the harbor
yesterday. Under other circumstances

vided therefore between two days,
but because of the late clearances Sat-
urday and an intervening Sunday all
the cotton not reported up to the clos
ing of the exchange Saturday after
noon is therefore included in yester-
days shipments.
Rush at September's Close.
The tremendous rush Of cotton at
the close of September bid fair to
make a record and would have done
so had it been punched. as was that
at the end of October, but even then
it would not have equalled the show
ing made yesterday.
Though this new record is one of
which the members of the cotton trade
are proud, it does not equal in in
terest the record made in the matter
of receipts, this port having received,
to date, more than 675, 900 bales of cot
ton, 215 900 bales more than at the CORE
spending day last season, and the
largest amount ever received for the
same period during any season.
