STANDS RIGHT AT ONE FIGURE
Little Change in Cotton Values Re.
Gently,

While Americus cotton men are
hopeful of higher prices, and that very
soon, the market persistently stands
with scarcely change in the figures
from day to day. Spot cotton is worth
1l14 cents, although there is no dis
position to sell even at that seemingly
fancy price, and the,3, 900 bales held in
stock here are still away back in the
warehouses. Tn resolution adopted
yesterday by the convention in New
Orleans, pledgi 'g the holding of the
remainder of the crop for fifteen cents,
will have good effect, and if all the
farmers will stick to the agreement
they will get that rice ere long.
