S6OO,0OO WORTH OF COTTON SOLD HERE COhWAY'S GREATEST DAY
s. G. Smith Turns Loose 4,400 Bales and Other Large Deals are Made
 Price Goes Higher.

Sales of cotton by local buyers and planters approximating in value near ly S600;000, the largest days trans actions ever made in the history of Conway, were completed last night. A total of about 6,500 bales were dis posed of in several different deals, all of which were made yesterday afternoon and last night.
 s. G. Smiths list was the biggest. He sold last night to Charles C. Fer rall, the Little Rock agent of George H. McFadden & Bro. of Philadelphia, 4,400 bales, the consideration total ing S406.000. Frauenthal & Schwarz sold to Leo Hamberg, local agent for the Lesser Goldman Cotton Company of St. Louis, 1,600 bales, constituting about half of that firms present stock. Mr. Hamberg also purchased from w. M. Harrell < Company, J. E. Little and others smaller lists, making his total purchases for the day over 2,O00 bales. The pound price of the different sales was not made public but local cotton men es- timated that total of very close to $600,0 ,000 will be brought to Conway as result of one days transactions.
 While not the largest number of bales, this is the largest money con- sideration for cotton ever recorded here in one day. On January ' last S. G. Smith sold list of 5000 bales, his holdings for the entire season, to Leo Hamberg for the Lesser-G Goldman Cotton Company This transaction in- volving total consideration of $536,000 and stands as a record in the cotton business of the south Mir. Smiths sale last night is said to be the third largest ever made in Ar kansas.
 New high records, which have como to be almost a daily occurrence, were again set in the cotton market today. Futures are about Il points higher and on the local market 1870 cent> per pound, the highest price ever known here, is being paid for average receipts today, and an advance of $1 per bale over Tuesdays prevailing price.
 Where the advance will stop no one is able to predict. The effect of the submarine scare, which caused a break Monday, seems to have entirely and the rebound has carried values to the highest figures known since reconstruction days. Farmers are still selling as rapidly as they can get their cotton ginned and the marketing season at Conway is expected to end simultaneously with the conclusion of picking.

OVER A THOUSAND
 MORTGAGES PAID

A striking evidence of the pros perity which Faulkner county is en- toying at present is shown by records in the office of Circuit Clerk and Re corder A. M. Ledbetter, showing that over 1000 chattel and real estate mortgages were satisfied during the month of September. This is said to be more than 10 times the number paid off in the same month in any preceding year. Practically one-third of the $500 real estate and chattel mortgages on record and filed in the recorders office have been paid off already, at time of the year when such payments are usually just be- ginning.
