BRUIN GOT A PIECE
OF HIDE OF KING.
King Cotton Put to Flight
Yesterday.
THE ESTIMATE is a. wAoPPER
Ten Million Ginned to January 18th
Points to a Total Crop of Perhaps
10. 500, ooo-The Market Takes a
Tumble of Forty Points.

King Cotton was endorsed yesterday
and bruin ripped piece Of hide from
the hoary monarch ere he escaped from
the hot combat. It was all about the
ginners report and, as usual, the man
with the cotton bale was swatted by
the cotton bears.
Ten million bales ginned TO January
10Th was the estimate.
The actual figures of the ginners re-
port were 8. 998,111 bales. but this was
so very near the ten million bale mark
that ii amounted to the same thing and
prices hit the toboggan.
Down went the market sheer drop
of 40 points, and the man with the con-
tract bought around the opening figure
was ready for the coroner. This break
put many of the little fellows out of
business as, expecting a rise, their con-
tracts were weakly msrgIned.
The Americus contingent were bit
surprised at the bureau figures and
subsfq tent decline. as they had rather
hoped for an advance.
With a crop of 10000, 900 bales gin
ned to Jan. 10Th a conservative esti-
mate puts the total crop at 10000, 600
bales or probably little more, and
If this is correct the remnant of this
crop should still command a fancy
price-12 cents or perhaps more,
Spot cotton is still in active demand
and IN the Americus market will doubt
less bring II / OTIS easiIy,if holders were
disposed to sell.

Cotton Letter.

Americas, Ga, Jan. 23.-There was
some liquidation before the appear
ance of the Ginners' Report AID prices
declined TO points in consf quence.
The real activ'tef he ay, however,
came after the report appeared at
O'Clock. This showed considerably
more ginned to Jan. J6sh than gene~
rally expected, $685. The market
was already ripe for a reac ion by rea-
son of the large long interest existing.
Buying pow r has been conspicu~
ously lacking for several days past and
the beRrIsh report fund the market,
practically, without support un il II go
for May was touched, o decline of
nearly 30 points from the level previ-
ously reached. There was small but
false rally from the first sharp decline,
bat even this failed to hold and the
closing is at the lowest for the day, 38
down from the top eff the morning and
SO below last nights close.
The amount already ginned in round
figures, 10. 100000 bales, is accepted as
indicating a crop approximating 10 =
100000 bales, including linters, etc.
After this date, last year, the cotton
ginned and linters added was 800, 1000.
In day or two the census report will
have been forgotten and the public
mind will begin to speculate on the
prospect of the acreage and possible
yield of the new season, which will
soon be under way Demand from 81 in
ners will be largely the governing fea-
ture. and although the situation looks
weak at the moment because of the
very large long interest, much of which
may have to be l!quidated, a revival of
spot demand would instantly reverse
the present downward tendency.
Meanwhile it looks as if some further
liquidation is in order and prices may
go lower during the process. Liver

MAY SEND VANS NORTH.
Southern sweet Potato Growers Think We
Might Al Them.

WtBut AhNo Aucus
Something like IFS varieties OF sweet
potatoes may be produced in the South.
but for practical considerations there are
only half a dozen or less that are COM
mercially important.
These are divided by the Southern Field
into two distinct classes: First, the sorts
held in favor in the North, which must be
yellow, dry, mealy, small to medium in size,
and in the opinion Of the Southern grower
the less good quality they possess the better
they are appreciated.
Second, the varieties desired by Southern
consumers, which may be yellow, red or
white, medium or large in size, but must
be moist, sugary and Of rich havor-quali-
ties directly opposite to those demanded
In Northern markets.
The old pumpkin or yellow yam, the
vineless yam and the Red Providence are
considered the best for Southern sr1ael
These are good, whether boiled or fried.
When baked they come from the oven cov-
cred with a Drowned, sugary coating which
has resulted from the emulation Of the over
abundance Of sugar with which the potato
is loaded. They make pies and buildings
which are superior to those made from
pumpkins or squashes.
People are governed by habi even in
eating, and the Northern consumer, having
firmly fixed in mind the ideal for the Irish
potato-that is a dry, mealy potato-is dis
posed to sacrifice quality to make the sweet
potato conform to this standard.
While this il true it is also a fact that
Northern visitors to the South, many Of
whom have never had an opportunity to
buy in their home markets the varieties so
highly esteemed in the South, are quick
TO appreciate their merits when served on
the table at Southern hotels and in Southern
homes.
This has convinced many growers and
handlers Of sweet potatoes that some ade-
| quate movement should be inaugurated to
and good value Of the Southern type Of
sweet DOtatO.
