HIGHEST PRCE REACHED
SINCE BEGINNING OF EU-
ROPEAN WAR
OFFERED FOR ONE
LOT OF SO BALES
But the Farmer Declined TO Take
H-Reported ON Good Au-
thority Staple Sold for 9
Cents Last Saturday

Cotton sold yesterday on the streets
of Anderson for cents per pound,
this being the highest price the
staple has reached locally since the
nations of Europe last fall became
locked In one of the bitterest wars of
history.
Yes sir" said prominent buyer to
q reporter for 1he InteIligencer, "you
can put 1t in your paper in the morn
ing that cotton brought 8 cents to-
day ON the Anderson market, the
highest price reached since the be-
ginning OF the European war"
The buyer went on to state that he
had Just made q prominent farmer of
che county an offer of 9 cents for over
80 bales but the farmer wouldn't sell.
Little OF the staple was offered for
sale or the streets yesterday, how
ever, and the buyer asserted that
there had been mighty little cotton
sold in the past several weeks.
AS matter Of fact, it was report
ed on good authority that cents was
paid for cotton ON the local market
last Saturday. But not until yester-
day did the formal market price go up
to 8 cents.
The cotton market has been sur
pFising. In the earlier months of the
season predictions were many, and
without fail were to the effect that the
price would be six or seven cents
and maybe less, here appeared to be
no hope for the market. The crop
was the largest ever raised. 1t looked
as il the export trade would be prac-
ticaily nothing.
Unlike most other years, there was
no rushing OF the market. The farm
ePs held back their staple, and fed
the market. gradually. The price final
iy began to rise and little by little it
worked its way up until now the nine
cent level had been reached-and con-
sidering the size OF the crop, this is
not such a bad price. after all. For
a time the price was >holstered up by
the condition of interior roads, which
prevented the bringing OF cotton to
the market. From the beginning, al
most, the export demand has been
larger than was anticipated.
The gradual feeding of the market.
the export demand. and the excep-
tionally large takings of domestic
mills have contributed to the rise and
firmness of the market The sS1s were
soon cleared OF German and Austrian
men-o'-war, and with this accomplish
ed exports continued to England, Ja-
pan, France and other countries, al
though the exports were smaller than
normal. England announced that cot-
ton could be shipped to Germany and
Austria, and would not be molested.
This increased the exports and the
price was again proped up. Added to
this favorable foreign situation, the
fact that the dema:.d for cotton goods

The drop-ball was extremely ef-

Just how. when. or why it passed

seem to have given it up. There used

ST. LOUIS, July 15.-Did you ever
hear a proud father rave about his
first born? Well, Manager Branch
Hickey. of the Browns, gloats over
George sisler, his new pitcher-first
baseman-outfielder. In that manner. To
hear Hickey discuss the wonderful

Other players of the Browns and
baseball men not connected with the
st. Louis club are less enthusiastic
about Sisters ability, but admit that the
former MichiEander is not an ordinary
ball player. but an exceptional player.
Sisler, as early as three years ago,
when he first started In his baseball
career at Michigan, was eagerly sought
by a half dozen major league clubs
who had been tipped off to his ability.
Since then he has Improved greatly.

Later he was declared a free agent
by the National Commission. In free

the event Sisler eventually decided to
play professional baseball he should
give the Pirates an opportunity to sign
him.
