NEW RECORDS MADE
 IN COTTON TRADE
Spring Deliveries Selling at 13 Cents on Active
 Trade Buying

New York. December 20.-Cotton
 made new high records for the sea son early in the week with spring de- liveries selling at 13 cents on active trade buying and covering but pre- holiday realizing then became general
 while there was also considerable pres sure from bearish Wall street sources and in spite of light ginning returns prices have suffered considerable re- action. The census report showing 12.- 424,S53 bales gnned to December IS was about in line with bullish expecta- tions and the falling off as compared with the returns of the previous period
 was said to be even greater than re- quired to confirm the governments crop estimate of 13,S20,oO0 bales. excluding linters as the average amount of lint cotton Einned after December 13 for the past seven years has been only 1,342, GOO bales. Some, however were inclined to attribute the very light re- turns to unfavorable weather and prob ably the most general effect of the figures was to increase confidence in
 the approximate accuracy of the or iicial forecast or in a commercial crop of about 14,250,00O bales. As if reflect ing the decreasing ginning the into sight movement is now beginning to run much smaller and after having shown an excess of nearly 250,000 bales over last season experts are also be ginning to fall off. while the census figures on supply and distribution in- dlcate that American mills added large ly to the raw material supply during November and at the beginning or this month held practically three months requirements. Domestic mill consump- tion so far this season has been at the rate of about 5,70o,000 bales per year, and bullishly disposed traders arc Sin comparing the big estimates of the worlds needs with the indicated crop and emphasizing the prediea-. ment in which those who may have sold forward delivery to spinuers might find themselves should southern spot houses become still hrmer in their price views on the other hand, with the size of the crop practically deter mined. claims are heard that bullish features have been discounted and that the price is high enough to induce the cultivation of largely increased acre. age next spring.

GILMAN PLANTER SHOT AND KILLED
Will Holland Is Fatally Wounded By Farmer at
 Garden City

Cullman, December 20.--( (Special.)-Wil Holland of Garden City. this county. was shot and killed by man named Knighton last night on his own property. MT.

another lesson in how to run live little city under the commission form of gov elnment. Mayor Taylor states that they profited by their trip, gaining several good pointers and widening their horizon no little. He did not, however learn much in Memphis about how to sup press the liquor dealers, and that Is one of the gravest and most difficult mat terg against which the commissioners will have to contend in Jackson.
 Mayor Taylor was asked as to the re- port or rumor current on the streets here to the effect that Thomas P. Barr is to be the new chief of police, but stated that the commissioners have never discussed anything of a personal nature, such as offices to be filed using the time at their command on policies of gov ernment-a much more serious proposition than the personnel of the officeholders.
