ever, as though the highest point has

either remain at about this figure or
take something of drop, the latter
being the most likely, as in some sales
prices went off yesterday. The mar

Attention is being attracted to the
takings by Southern mills of sea is
land cotton, which promise during the
new season to be upon larger scale
than ever before. One advice comes
from Quitman from a mill that they
have just started using sea island cot
ton there, with takings of seventy
bales, and that they expect to use
considerable cotton during the new
season. The mills at Columbus, and at
Lincolnton, N. c., are also using con-
siderable sea islands, while others are
expected to do so during the new sea-
son. The belief exists among the trade
that while the larger use of sea is
land cotton among Southern mills may
come slow, it Is pretty sure, judging
from the turn consumption has recent
" taken. Talk of new mills in Florida
to use sea islands is heard.
while the mill takings of sea island
cotton may be SLOW" said one man, ut
looks like 1t may develop along lines
similar to those which resulted in
Southern mills taking the upland crop,
and giving Europe a competitor In the
American spinner. Liverpool now looks
to the cables from this country with
as much interest as Americans former
ly looked for Liverpool. II the South
ern mills continue to take sea islands
the indications are they will have
much to do with making the price for
this cotton. Not long ago talk was
heard about large fine spinning mills
in Texas. all of which shows that at
tention is being paid to this cotton.
Moreover, any development along this
line means much for Savannah. as this
is the market where prices are made
and the bulk of the crop marketed
