N'AINDO ASKS. FOR 1AlA ON COTTON
 IN PINE BLUFF
o,,orv to Tomlinson Indi- Sc cates That Thousands of
 Bales May be Shipped.

thousands of bales of cotton
 lllas q. Pine Bluff will soon be on it's hela .n a.nastward was indicated yesterday Ss way the ssyi receipt of telegram by Frank 9y Tn tTTomlinson from Director-Gener D: !: pailroads McAdoo, inqul11ng as to oI l, N~ N~nmber of bales of cotton here the ts, nu nud awaiting shipment. Informa- sclu seu 'it 'oihtained by A. M. Riat, manag- tlol ae J tbe Cotton Exchange, shows that ea,a CT ol s,, are nearly 12,O00 bales for which saxle talO of lading have been issued, and Durl,obably ul,,b 10000 more sold, and await !nS shipping facilities for the issuance llS af hills G of lading. Stocks here aggre- cate 6O,OOO bales.
 sHTffh The receipt of the telegram by MT. r.nlinscn M from MT. McAdoo, and the ',nhseouent ,Jt events, let it become gen. sso sso11v known that the nearly 12,O0O s,d' so1os of cotton receipted for by the rotton G@lH Belt several weeks ago, when snnouncement was made of the lift , ;no n of the embargo, was. never ship ms nad The order for the road to accept tho y cotton was countermanded before .-ears e.r could be supplied. About 1000 ial Sa1es have been compressed, and made ready for loading.
 The indication that the cotton al- ready sold by local dealers would soon be S accepted for shipment was well come here, especially by cotton men. finder the methods in vogue, cotton is not paid for by the buyers in the East until receipt of bills of lading show ing the numbers of the cars into which the inc cotton has been loaded. The carry ing charge here is about one-half cent per pound month., or $2.50 per bale, so that if a dealer sells 100 bales . a month before he can load it into cars he loses $25O on the transaction.
 Should the director-general instruct that all the cotton here sold and await ing shipment be accepted, it will mear the addition of about S2,000,000 to the amount of money in Pine Bluff.
