Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau. Mobile, April Il. Around the Mobile Cotton Exchange l the past few days there has been an ! air of inactivity because of the quiet | ude pervading in New York and New Orleans in transactions in the feecy staple. The wiseacres, men of long years experience in cotton. have sat | themselves down to patiently await de- velopments. So far as receipts and ex- ports are concerned, Mobile. the present season, has had just cause to congrat- ulate herself, in so far as receipts and exports are concerned. The ware houses and congresses have had and are eyt having a harvest and the end is not yet. At the close of business last night the board showed the fol- lowing fiattering figures:
 Receipts since Sept. 1..265.456 19o,769 Exports since Sept. l. ..232,20S 1S2166 Stock on hand. 31,s7S 5,41l Not a day passes. Sunday included, but at least a few bales of cotton come | in and information is at hand that there is still a considerable amount | of cotton stored away which will ulti- mateIy find its way to this port When prices began soaring upward | in the latter part of last fall many | knowing ones jumped in and bought, | the result being large bank accounts | in every instance. Some there were | who got from under before the trigger | was sprung and the drop came. But | there were others. There has been the past few months, until March set in, much speculation, but not on the | large scale which marked the feature l in trading in the earlier months. Some hit the mark: others went wide and | results followed accordingly. The pre- | diction just now, locally, is that there will be something doing in the near fu- ture so far as cotton is concerned. | The Advertisers bulletins at 11:s0 o'clock last night to the enect that | Teague had three to one votes over Forbes for the mayoralty in Mont gomery's municipal primary found many readers. Among these were a number of Montgomerians. There l were many Mobilians, however, who I expressed interest in the results and when the theatre closed the bulletins were eagerly scanned. Many T told | you sol! expressions were heard. Admiral Schley last afternoon was a visitor to the Mobile Cotton Exchange He was the center of attraction for a full hour and his stock of jokes, ap- parently inexhaustible, were eagerly | grasped by his hearers. He declined | to announce ms lIlneraTys put VIII leave for Washington Thursday.
