The negotiations for the properties

terrupted few days since by the
death TO Mr.. Uriah B. Harold, will
be resumed tomorrow morning.
In fact, the negotiations are practi-

to transfer the stock of tn old com
pany to the new.
This interesting point had been
reached last Tuesday, the party of
Philadelphia capitalists coming here
for that purpose, when the death
of Mr. Harold, who was largely in
terested in the old company, necessi
tated a postponement for the time.
But the transfer, it is expected, will
now be completed.
Col. w. A. Dodson was advised yes
terday by wire of the expected return
of the party here on Monday.

purpose are Mr. George r.

1t is understood that there will be

COTTON OFF THIRTY POINTS

Below u cents was still the ruling
price for good cotton in Americus yes
terday, and sales at this fallen fig
ure went steadily forward during the
morning. Americus talent was given
a surprise when, after the close of
the New York market at II o'clock
the New Orleans market took a sud-
den and decided tumble, the crash
carrying down values more than thir-
ty points at one clip. The cause of
the disaster was not known here, but

might have resulted from some local
cause. With heavy receipts as at
present there is no hope of getting
out of the IL cent rut Immediately,
unless it be a still further decline.
In a communication elsewhere this
morning President Johnson of the
Cotton Association calls upon the
farmers to hold firm for fifteen cents
and urging the cooperation of mer-
chants and bankers to this end. Just
at present fifteen cents sounds like
roseate dream.

were mingled with the shrieking of
steam whistles and ringing of bells.
The ball players were the heroes of
the hour and might have worn dia-
monds for the asking Crowds parad

demonstrations celebrating the base
ball victory are being extended into

Waterloo was nothing compared to
