the other buying scattered part of which
came from commission houses. You
hear a good deal of reactionary talk to-
day.
The reason for this is that many re-
gard the bull side as becoming too
popular and expect liquidation between

He reckons that he could save 1,500, 900
bales for this years crop by his meth
DDS. A local cotton man, who for
years was a cotton grower, pronounced
the scheme unfeasible. Others ex-
pressed similar views. No one could be
