a SMALLER STOCK IN AMERlcUs
Reduced Nearly Half Within Short
Period

The stock of cotton carried in Amer
icus warehouses has been reduced very
nearly, if not quite, half since the
slump came which closed the warehouse
doors all over the South against the
cotton bears. Within the past two
months, since the price got well above
seven cents, sales here have been steady
and the stock thus very greatly reduced
A warehouseman yesterday ventured
the opinion that probably 5000 bales
remain In Americus warehouses, with
possibly 400 or 500 bales in the country
tributary and yet to be marketed And
while values remain at or above cents
the stock here will continue to be de-
creased gradually,
