FLOOD OF COTTON SATURDAY
HUNDREDS OF NEW BALES CAME
IN FROM THE FARMS.
Very Little of 1t Was Put on the Mar.
ket. The Receipts to Date.
Crop viii Be Short.

A food of new cotton came to Daw-
son Saturday. Every street leading
into the city was lined with wag-
ons loaded with the staple, and there
were scenes of activity around the
warehouses all day long.
AT nightfall total OF 100 bales of
new cotton had been weighed by the
warehouses that day. A very small
per cent of it was sold, however, the
farmers evidently intending to hold
until the maket gets better. A promi-
nent buyer gives it as his opinion that
the number of bales sold Saturday did
not exceed hundred.
The receipts of new cotton by wagon
Tuesday at noon were 4, 403 bales.
There has been a slightly better
feeling in the market the past few days,
