OVER TWENTY-FOUR CENTS
PER POUND FOR COTTON
Highest Prices in Great Many Years.
Possibility it May Command Still
Higher Figures Is Prediction.

Friday the local buyers were Of
fering 241a cents for good middling,
while to-day on a rise following
weakening in the market, it will bring
above 24% cents a pound, which is
above expectations of many people.
1t is now believed by some that the
price will go still higher, and there
is possibility that the next crop
may command a still better price.
There is an enormous demand for
cloth with which to clothe the SOL
diers, not only of the United States,
but of the other countries that are
fighting against Germany. AS cotton
advances so will the prices of almost
everything else, as food supplies are
of much greater Importance than
cotton.
