COTTON REACHES 1880.
Price of Cotton Seed Advances Near
Iy Fifty Per Cent

It begins to look like cotton is go
ing to reach Is cents before many
days. The price in Wilmington yes
|terday was 1880, twenty-five points
higher than on las Saturday. This
price is said to be the highest reach
led on this market in more than
twenty years. With the present high
|prices very little of the staple is be-
ling put on the market. 1t is very
|evident that those who have cotton
are able to hold it and are willing
Ito run the risk of it going still high
Ter.
The price in New York yesterday
was 14.10, ten points below the price
reached several weeks ago.
The price of cotton seed has also
since the first Of the year.
The present price is nearly fifty per
higher than two weeks ago, hav-
Ing advanced from s12 per ton to SIT

price.
