COTTON.

About 1900 bales of cotton were
brought to market in Macon this
week. 1t is roughly estimated
that about a third of NoXubee's
crop has been morketed.
Last Friday spots at Macon
brought 14.5O; today bringing
1885.
The future market has shown
an advance all the week. Though
the fluctuations daily ranged up
and down 20 OF so points, each day
saw an advance over yesterdays.
New York December one week ago
was IA 40; today 1895.
MACON AS COTTON MARKET.
The Columbus Dispatch of last
Sunday quoted spot cotton at 14.4O
in Columbus Saturday, which it
stated was higher than the price in
surrounding towns. This was an
error, as spots in Macon sold the
same day at II. - OrS1. IS per bale
over the Columbus price.
