THE LOCAL COTTON
SPOT MARKET SUFFER-
 ED A BACKSET
Traders are Advising Buying of Futures But Some Holders are Turning Loose Their
 Product.

spot cotton suffered a bsckset yesterday influenced by decline of about Is points Tn the future markets although there was little doing in spots
 When one reflects that year ago spot cotton was about four cents under the pres ent prices. II cents is not so bad It was reported yesterday that one large grower of this section had sold round lot of 500 bales at 11%c and other smaller sales were re- ported. In the main, however. holders are swinging on to their product.
 Little cotton is coming to town from the interior Of Montgomery County and 1t is doubtful if there Is much in the country to be sent forward.
 Most of the New Orleans traders are bull fAh on the market and telegrams from there yesterday freely advised buying on all siurups.

Afforded to turn the tables on the
County CourciI of StaffOrdshire as
the Duke of Sutherland has recent
ly done. He enjoys the double graf
ification of putting its members in a
hole and at the same time heaping
Goals of fire on their heads.
Some months ago, it may be re-
membered, the duke publicly an
nounced that owingl to the polluted
condition of the river Trent, which
flows past Trentham Hall, his mag
niticent Stafordshire seat, pllysi-
clans had pronounced it an unsafe
and insanitary abode for himself
and his family. and therefore. he
had decided to close it up. The con-
dltlon OF the river is due to the use
made Of it by the potteries which
are centered at Stoke-on-Trent.
The duke had appealed in vain
to the Staffordshire County Conn
Gil to adopt measures that would
abate the nuisance. That demo
cratic body would do nothing. It
did not propose to interfere with
an Industry which provided maav
poor people with a living just to
make things more comfortable for
a duke and his family If he could
not put up with the stencil and run
the risk of typhoid, as humble folk
had to, why he could so and live
somewhere else. So the duke turn
ed out, the county council triumph
ed, and the Trent continued to flow
its polluted course.
