Bullying PRICES
OF COTTON TIES
CREATES ALARM
SUPPLY SEEMS VERY LIMITED
Americas Dealers Cannot
Have Orders Filled

Americas supply dealers as we'll as
others throughout the cotton belt ar
not little disturbed at the rapid ad-
vance that has been made in the price
of cotton tires, and the difficulty ex-
perienced in having orders filled eve
at the advance 1t looks now like a
tie famine or, at best, much higher
prices for that necessary article.
From 81 cents per bundle the price
has advanced quite recently to $1.30
cents, local dealers state, and figures
are going higher still, it seems GER
tain.
Mr. Frank P Harold, of Harold
Bros, stated yesterday that his house
had wired various Georgia cities for
ties, desiring to purchase large
quantity for their trade, but succeed
ed in getting very few. New Orleans
dealers, Mr.. Harold stated, were o.
fering $3.50 per bundle for all the ties
they can procure This is an advanc:
of fifty percent over the price paid fol
ties by farmers last season, when they
sold in the Americas market at 81 pc
bundle. Local dealers will continue
to sell them at the old prices so Iona
as the supply lasts, and this will not
be very long.
| The phenomenal advance in the
price of ties is probably due to tht
Trust, which has the ability to fix in
fated values.
There has been no advance in tht
price of jute bagging, which sells her:
at 13 cents per yard, or $3.50 per roll
the same prices that obtained las
season. The advance in the price d
ties came unexpectedly and just al
the beginning of the harvesting of the
cotton crop.
| By the way, under the ruling of thc
ocean carrier companies, only jute
| bagging of good quality can be used
this season, and all coverings of suga'
sacks and other substitutes are bar
red.

Such law would command the sup

Rain There Would Cause a
Sharp Slump

New Orleans, La, August 11-TEis
week the cotton market will be chiefly
concerned with the weather in Texas
and Oklahoma. If drouth conditions
continue to prevail alarm is bound to
be felt over the outcome of the CROP
in wheat section of the belt, which
this season, is more important than
ever because of the large acreage
planted From the first of the year
the ebarish element in the future
markets of the world has figured on a
large crop in the west and to disap-
point these expectations means heav;
shortly covering.
1t is doubtful if the western belt
can go without good rains much long
er without experiencing severe CROP
damage
Probably not much attention will be
paid to the eastern belt, as nearly all
states in it have had sufficient rain
for the time being and are sending in
encouraging crop accounts. If these
reports continue to improve they
may, to some extent balance unfavor-
able news from the west.
1t is a certainty, however, that con-
tinued fair weather west of the Mis-
sissippi river will cause buying. Any
thing like general soaking rains
would probably result in a sensation

reason for the small receipts anG
that the trade is holding off from fill

ing season in an unusual way.
This, by some, is said to be caused
by the fear of buying or selling hedge
es in the future market because of the
attempts now being made to induce
congress to pass laws that would kill

that hedge buying, particularly, viii

HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL? -. 50 -. 80.

If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques-
tons may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces-
saries of life, we venture to say:
"The quickest and surest way
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times
Recorder-one that has a high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
of its readers.
"rhe most dependable articles
sold today are those to which
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label--that is to
say, his reputation.
Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu-
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
"The combination Of manu-
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum Of satisfac
ton to the purchaser"
