LOCAL COTTON RECEIPTS
SHOW A LOSS WHEN COMPARED
WITH THE CORRESPONDING
PERIOD OF LAST YEAR.

Cotton receipts at the local yards
for the year amount to 1857 bales,
about 1000 bales behind last year.
The report of the compress for tn s
season when compared with last
season and the season before last
for the corresponding period show
deficit In the number of bales
pressed to be 3,720 as against last
year. and 722 as against the season
before last.
The cotton men state that In all
probability the receipts for the sea
son 19O7-0S will reach about the
same figures as last something over
$4,000 bales. Up to Saturday morn
ing the compress company has press
ed for export this season 34,322
| bales and for the corresponding per-
iod during the season of l906-07 the
compress pressed and shipped to ex-
port points 3S,O42 bales, and for the
season preceding 35,O9i bales.
The receipts at the yards for the
| present season are at the National,
G,S77, compress G,O5O. and at the
Farmers Union practically $3.50
| bales.
The receipts this season will be
| larger than what was at first ex-
pected although the crop Is general
| ly short throughout this section Of
the country and Texas. The season
this year will in all probability wind
up earlier and as soon as the weather
permits the receipts of the local mar
| ket will be larger tnan for the past
two or three weeks. IL is expected
that the season will IN all probable
ity close by the middle of March.

Discussion Of proposition TO

Mr.. Archbold has an aversion to see

papers or to having his portrait in the
papers at all. and for this reason COM
paratively few people know how he
looks. The countenances of John D
Rockefeller and II. II. Rogers have
long been familiar TO the public, but
there are not many who would know
Mr.. Archbold from having seen his
portrait in print. At the time of the
proceedings conducted by Attorney
General HaGlcy an artist began sketch
ing Mr.. Archbold as he sat in the
courtroom. Suddenly with leap from
his chair the Standard man was across
the room and struck the paper and
pencil from the artists hands How

Again he appealed to the commits
sfoner for protection from the artists
while he was in the witness chair. To
the reporters he said: "You newspa-
