COTTON RECEIPTS MAY GO TO 30,000
OVER 29.O0O BALES HERE
COMPRESS RECEIPTS SHOW ORD-BREAKING CROP
 GINNING FIGURES.

That the receipts of the Conway Compress Company for the season l913-1914 will lack but little of reach ing, and will possibly exceed, 30,OOO bales was the statement today of Manager w. J. Murrell The number of bales of cotton received at the com. press up to today is 28,9OO. There are about 300 bales yet in the hands of local buyers not delivered to the con- press. making the total amount in sight at Conway approximately 29,- 200. Eight hundred bales more will push the receipts to the 30,000-mark, and Manager Murrell has strong hopes that this figure will be reached, if not surpassed.
 Of the receipts at the compress all except 2,80O bales represent cotton marketed by the growers in Conway. This makes the net local receipts to date 26,400. Cotton in this territory still unmarketed will doubtless bring the seasons total to 27,000 bales, ex- ceeding by over 4,000 bales the re- ceipts of any previous year.
 The stock on hand at the compress totals 4,379 bales, according to Mir. Murrell. Subtracting this from the total receipts indicates the shipments to date to be 24,521 bales. This figure is verified by the record of the Iron Mountain freight office which shows the shipments up to March Is to be 24,326 bales.
