COTTON PRICES
ARE Still UP
PRETTY HIGH
liza HIGHEST YESTERDAY
Only Small Supply in Local
Market

Americas warehouses are not the
centres of interest they were ten
days ago when cotton prices were rap
idly advancing to the high point of the
season. Values are still up, although
the contract quotations show a dispo-
sition to go the other way.
Spot cotton, the finer grades, were
quoted at II IA cents in Aericus yes
terday, although there is still lical
demand for the staple now. Local buy
ers have no important orders to fill
and only at intervals is a sale of cot
ton reported.
Stocks here are still quite consid-
cradle, there being probably 1900 or
800 bales held in Americas ware
houses. Much of this is fine cotton,
for which the owners may hope to
realize IL cents or better later in tho
season.

RAINS PREVENTED The
OPENING OF SHOWS
SWANS Shows TO Open Here
Tonight

On account of the fact that heavy
rains and thunderstorm came up
last night just at the time when the
show was to open, the management of
SWANS shows, which have recently
come to Americas for a stay, decided
to postpone the opening of the shows
until tonight.
A great feature of the shows to-
night will be the play, "The Cowboy
and the SQuaw," which will be pre-
sented in most realistic manner. This
is one of the best attractions that has
come here in many days. The popu-
lar prices of 10 and Is cents for adj
mission will prevail.
