Linters consumed during the season
amounted to $4,000 bales, an increase
OF $4,000 over last year
During the period OF low prices both
Northern and Southern sp.nners
bought freely. and their aggregate TAX
inrs were 6,354 900 bales. a new high
record FOR the mills az this country.
While the year opened with doubt
and uncertainty for the American

The maximum consumption in the
South occurred In June, when the Off

mean that should the maximum con-

the South has a consuming capacity at
present OF 100000 bales.

ran into Judge Ostrander's presence,
and, gazing wildly about, wormed her
way toward a heavily carved screen

the clamor OF strange entreaties and
excited cries with which the air was
full; then a quick, hoarse shout OF
