Our March Letter to Spot Holders.

Dear Sir: We are just entering the
month which n year ago showed the
largest receipts of any similar month
in the history of cotton marketing
During the month of March, 1905, there
came into sight one million, one hun
dred and seventy-eight thousand bales
and for the month of April, eight hun
dred and sixty-six thousand bales. In
other words, if the receipts this year
are as large as they were one year ago
during those two months it would
practically absorb every bale of
cotton in the south, as all of the crop
has now come into sight and been
counted except 2, 900, 600 bales. During
the past few weeks receipts have been
unusually heavy due to heavy sales by
merchants and the rushing of cotton to
the southwestern ports by large buyers
who had accumulated considerable cot
ton in the interior of Texas.
The large sales of cotton last week at
New Orleans, showed conclusively the
tight position the exporters are in as
they could not get what they wanted in
the interior of the states east of the
Mississippi river. If you and your
neighbors who are holding will tighten
up your grip for the next 80 days and
thereby decrease the receipts, cotton is
sure to advance in price. The buyers
are in the hole now. They have about

up to their contracts to furnish this cot
ton if spot holders continue firm, con-
sequently they are moving heaven and
earth to break the future markets, hop
ing by this means to demoralize the
cotton trade and stop ~spinners from
calling" their cotton until spot holders
have become panic stricken and given
the middlemen the means wherewith to
live up to their agreements. In other
words, the big exporters are crowded
so close to the wall that they are will
ing to ruin the business of their Gus
toners in the hone that cancellation OF
yarn and cloth contracts will make it
unnecessary for the middlemen to fur
nish raw material on schedule time,
something that it is impossible with the
farmers holding their cotton so stub
bornly. The mills want the cotton,
must have it and will pay fifteen cents
per pound to ecure the small remnant
OF the unsold balance of the present
crop. The man who is on the hot grid
die is the exporter who has agreed to
deliver it. There are two highly i'm
portant matters that must be handled
right in the next two months, one is to
hold the spots tight and force light re-
ceipts and a stronger m~arket-the other
is to hold down the cotton acreage UNI
der last year at least ten per cent and
increase the food supply crops. If these
two things are done the day of fifteen
cents cotton is near 1T hand. Fifteen

exhausted their supplies, while they are

exhausted their supplies, while they are
due the spinners heavy shipments of
contract cotton which has not been
bought. To some it may be tiresome to
continue to wait for an advance and
many have grown nervous and some
sold in the face of recent depressions.
But all great victories are won only af-
ter a hard struggle. Remember last
year when cotton sold at z cents in
March, those who held in face of a IA
0O0, 900 bale crop received 10l cents
early in July. This year the crop is
$500, 600 bales less, and where we had
unsold one year ago nearly 5000, 600
bales we have now only 2 GOO, 900 bales;
and of this amount not ovcr l, 25O, 600 is
in the hands of the spot holders, or just
about the amount of cotton sold during
the month of last March.
The legitimate cotton situation is the
strongest the world has ever known.
Many mills have sold their entire out
put on heavy goods as far ahead as
next December and light goods to Feb
ruary, 1907. Spinners are generally OPP
posed to any depression in the cotton
market, such as has been done by
speculation during the past few weeks,
as the prices of all cotton goods are
abnormally high and trade unpreced-
ented. The mills are now demanding
their contract cotton under the "call-
ing" system established during the past
year or two. The exporters cannot live

eCnted For His HeinOus Crime.

G~reenville, March End. = Andrew
Thompson, the colored rapist, who
criminally assaulted Mrs. Frank James,
wife of a respectable planter two miles
from Taylors, December 18th, 1905,
was hanged in the county Jail yard to-
day at 1:13 p. m. Death was pronounced
by County Physician w. l.. Mauldin in
exactly la minutes. This was the first
hanging in this county for rape. The Of
ficers here believe it to be the first law
full execution for this crime in the
state. The husband of Thompson's
victim witnessed the execution today.
The condemned man said on the scat
fold that he was ready to go and that
liquor caused his downfall. He con-
fessed his crime a week ago to this cor
respondent.

ENGINEERING FEAT TO START
Southern Pacihc to Begin Soon Boring
Through Sierra Nevadas-Ad-
ditiOnaI Block Signals.

Work will begin within ninety days with
an immense force Of men on the project OF
the Southern Pacific to bore a tunnel
through the Sierra Nevada mountains. A
track will be constructed from Truekee to
the mouth of the tunnel and buildings will
be built for the workmen and tools. The
survey for the tunnel was completed last
fall and the appropriation has been made
offcials Of the Hartman lines have de-
cided to block signal the track the entire
distance from Ogden to San Francisco.
Appropriations have been made, the plans
are being drawn and the work will be
started as soon as the snow permits. This
means that over 300 miles OF track will be-
equipped with automatic signals
