Special to The Nscs. f-
Jackson. Miss, April 7.-The 5.527
bales of state cotton shipped from
Parchman to Gulfport few days ago
by the penitentiary trustees. who had
decided to ship it to Copenhagen, Den
mark, was sold at 1-S cents pound
late yesterday afternoon to the cotton
firm OF c. r. Boyce and Company. Of
Memphis.
This sale was made after 1t was as
certained by the prison trustees that
they could not secure insurance
against seizure of the shipment by the
warning nations while 1t was on the
high seas, and after they received a
communication from Secretary of State
w. j. Bryan saying the shipment
would come under the embargo de-
clared by England a few weeks ago.
After carefully considering the
whole problem at their meeting yester-
day afternoon. and receiving cash
bid from Boyce at price that was
very tempting, the trustees decided
rather than to- risk the shipment 1t
would be best to dispose of the entire
lot Of cotton. The purchase means
that about 100000 will be put in the
state treasury at an early date, as the
sale was for a cash consideration.
Another Bid Received.
A few minutes after the sale had
been consummated with Boyce and
Company the trustees received ten
tative offer from firm in Gulfport at
9 IA cents pound. but Of course
could not withdraw the contract they
had just made. and Boyce and Com
pany. even for consideration. declin-
ed to release them from the sale.
Whether Boyce will send the cotton
now on the Gnlfport docks to England
or some foreign country in the Nor
wegian ship .'Huso,' which had steam
ed into the Gulfport harbor expecting
to take on the cotton for the state. is
not known $3.50.
