Bio Cotton Prices

CHARLOTTE.-Insid the next 80 days
l-2 million dollars for cotton and Ia
million dollars for seed will be laid out
I'm cash by Charlotte banks to the farm
ers OF the county, making a total of over
81 900 900 an hard cash to be distributed
by the banAs.
With an thrush of 5000 bales OF cot
ton soon to be placed on the local market,
unless the farmers all decide to hold out
for higher prices, and with a present
figure of more than s6s per bale of 500
pounds, and 50 cents for seed available
on any local market, the financing OF the
Mecklenburg cotton crop for Ine season
of BOIL means that the sum of ST.
$4,000 as a minimum estimate, viii be
turned loose by Charlotte banks within
the next two or three months to the far
mers of the country for their cotton, ex-
elusive Of the now important asset rep
resented by the cotton seed, which
amounts to approximately Sl4 for every
bale OF lint cotton ginned and placed OH
the market
This in a nutshell is the financial story
of the marketing of Mecklenburg's por-
ton of the south's staple crop-cotton-
and with the exception Of the season just
closed. more money will be involved In
the handling OF the cotton crcx this sea-
son than has been known at any previous
time in the history OF the country, for
whereas prices have been higher. during
and shortly after the civil war, the
amount of cotton made was much less
than today. so that the claim is easily
justifable that this years cotton crop
will yield to the progressive farmers Of
the county more hard cash and ready
money than any crop ever made in the
annals Of the country.

Florida HomeSeekerS

ACKSONVILLE.-A large movement
of homeseekers, numbering perhaps 600
or 700 people from the middle west, are
due to pass through Jacksonville today
EN- route to south Florida. They are due
to arrive in Jacksonville over the At
lantic Coast Line railway using the
Seminole Limited South Atlantic Limit
ed, Montgomery route and Dixie Flyer.
A. w. Fritot division passenger agent
of the Atlantic Coast Line, stated yes
terday that the people to arrive today
are from Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and
various other western states, the points
at which they entrained for Florida be-
ing st. Louis; Chicago and Kansas City.
On all trains arriving this morning the
railroad is operating additional sleeping
cars and other equipment to accommo-
date the travellers. While 1t is expected
that some of the homeseekers will stop
off in Jacksonville, a majority OF them
will go on south, as the personnel of
those arriving belong to the thrifty agri-
! cultural element OF the middle west, and
! their object in coming to Florida Is to
seek new homes in a more congenial
/ climate
! Homeseekers' rates to Florida is a
: regular and permanent institution of the
various railroads operating here, and
/ they have been the means of locating
I many hundreds of new settlers in Flor
! ida 1t is a fact that the farmers from
the west on visiting Florida for the first
: time are so impressed with the climate
and other conditions that they invariably
! locate in the state.
J The conditions they find are strikingly
In contrast with those OF their western
homes. Out there they are only able
! to till and cultivate their farms a few
months in the year, while in Florida 1t
is possible to raise continuous crops
throughout the entire year.
Three-fourths of the new settlers COM
| ing to this state have been brought here
| through the efforts of land and industrial
i departments of various railroads, and
! these, together with land and real es-
tate companies, are doing magnificent
work for the state in this particular.

Chickens Are Scarce

MEMPHIS.-Poultry, chickens espe-
cially, is scarce in Memphis. The mar
ket is almost bare. and they are hardly
to be had at even exorbitant prices.
Commission men say that there never
was such a shortage of the supply al
this season of the year.
To account for the situation. commits
sion men are saying that it is due to
failure of farmers to provide for them
selves a sufficient supply of cured meats.
The fact is cited that the packing house
supply is high in price, and the farmers
are. therefore, reducing their outlay of
cash for meats by depending upon chick
ems and other poultry.
In evidence 81 the correctness Of this
contention 1t is pointed out that prac-
tically all the consignments of poultry
now being received in Memphis come
from points where. hogs and corn are
raised extensively.
