One day Of Gods good mercy gild

Why is such a dreary task,

UNDER 9 CENTS IT
DROPS IN ALuMP,
Americas is Still Handling
Fleecy.
BUT VALUES STILL GO LOWER
Under Nine Gents 1t Went Yesterday
and Buyers do Not Look for Any
immediate Reaction-The Bureau
Saturday Will Bring no Relief.

Down under the nine cents notch
the value of the fieecy staple went yes
terday. Americus cotton dealers were
not surprised at the ''drop" in view of
the condition of the market recently,
which has been steadily melting away
since the ginners reported. published
recently, pointed to an enormous crop,
possibly 100000 bales. In the Amer
icus market yesterday values ranged q
little above 81 cents, though few
sales at cents were made early in the
day. Cotton continues to be brought
in at the rate of 100 to 100 bales each
day and this is being sold as it arrives,
although many large lots are strongly
held here as elsewhere. The Bureau
report will be published Saturday next,
but it ia expected that this will rather
tend to further depress prices. Some
Americas buyers and warehousemen
are of the opinion that values will ad-
vance later in the season, but not in
the immediate future There IS a
great deal of cotton remaining in the
interior towns and on the farms, and
spinners know 1t.

LOSES ONE THIRD OF a PENNY
Decline in January Contracts is Thirty
Points.


The "talent' in Americus who toy
with the cotton market have struck it
rich quite recently; that is, if they
played on the right side of the market.
Unfortunately, not few played the
long side as usual.
And these lost the little dab If dough
backing their contracts.
One young man who backed his
faith with January contract is sorry
now that he was not arrested the day
before he bought and convicted upon
the charge of lunacy.
Others, however, played the short,
or selling side, and these are now in
position to buy plantations, christ
mas diamonds, order ton of coal with
reckless abandon and theR have money
left to start upon the new year.
For those who sold futures have beer
on the right side for once.
Since the frat of this month January
contracts have declined seventy five
points, or three-fourths of cent. Thit
means loss of So rs per bale in fou,
weeks. The slump in January contract
yesterday alone was 80 points.
And many are there who believe tina
the market is still long way from the
bottom. Eight cents by Christmas il
the prediction.
