MOBILE
A Better Cotton Market
Than Ever!

In the days "before the war;" and for many
years thereafter, nearly all the cotton from your
section came to Mobile. In those "good old
days. Mobile had facilities equal to require
ments but no such facilities as it offers cotton
owners today. 1t had no modern warehouses
like those operated by this Company, with in
smance rates reduced to the minimum and with
an expert service always at the command of the
cotton owners while holding or when selling.
And in those days neither Mobile nor any
other market had the wonderful STANDARD
Compress which operating and which
reduces the size of the bale to the minimum and
standardizes its form, thus effecting big savings
in ocean freight rates and attracting buyers and
in price paid for cotton sold in this market.
Mobile is not only better cotton market than
she has ever been BEFORE but, with our ware
house facilities and modern STANDARD
Compress, she is destined to become one of the
best cotton markets in this country.
1t is good business to ship your cotton to u.s.
Advise us when to expect it.
When cotton is received, we issue to owners,
IN THEIR OWN NAME, NEGOTIABLE RE-
CEIPTS, showing weight and grade of each bale,
thereby giving OWNERS COMPLETE CON-
troll OF THEIR COTTON. With the informa-
ton on the face of these receipts they are en-
abled to offer their cotton advantageously to
their local buyers and sell quickly when they
desire; or, returning the receipts to u.s. they can
instruct us to sell when prices obtainabe are
satisfactory.

his private safe, with family jewelry
and valuable papers, and the combi-
nation Out of order so the safe cannot

Mr. Barnes represents big powder

on it, mad had SO damaged the lock
combination that it would not work.
He is afraid to have the safe worked
on for fear the dynamite caps will ex-
plode, and even were. he willing to d.
SO it is doubtful that. he could find o
safe expert who would tackle the job.
Consequently Mr.. Barnes is up in
the air" as there are papers in tho
safe which he needs, and Mrs. Barnes
is anxious to know whether the. bur
glar got her jewelry before he damaged
Ethe lock.

thirds of the months imports entered
free of duty.
The excess Of exports over imports
amounted to $215,9O1, 408 in February
and to $1,295,217,4 62 during the eight
months ending with February. Last
year February showed an excess of
$174,6S2,478 and eight-months period
an excess of $57S.S34,39O, or less than
half that of the current period.
The excess of exports over imports
amounted to $215,9O1, 40S in February
ard to $1,295,217,46 during the eight
months ending with February. Last
year February showed an excess of
s174, 682,47S and eight-months period
an excess of $57S,S34, 800, or less than
one-half that of the current period.
The international gold movements
for February included imports valued
at $6,O16,006, against $12,726,492 for
February, 1915; and for the eight
monthsc, 1926, O54,S92 in 1916, against
$46,267,2O in 1915. Gold exports in
February totaled $1S,6s4,667, against
$1,05S,S79 in February, 1916; and in
the eight months, $47,741.575, COM
pared with $14O,3S7 ,O09 in like period
OF 1915. The current fiscal year to
the end Of February showed net in
ward gold movement OF $2S0,312,s17,
while corresponding period last year
showed a net outward gold movement
of $s4,11s,soO.
