announcement today.
The Americans nearly were cheat

A proclamation has been issued

such sales and declaring them void.
Everything thus sold has been ordered

The price Of cotton is dropping.
IT dropped the day before yester-

there may be comfort for farmers,

price Of cotton not limited.
Cotton growers must get now
what they can, :he Government
having guaranteed them nothing.
Whereas wheat farmers under a
Government guarantee will get
$3.50 for wheat now selling for
