on RhllrOadS ana In warehouses;.
Practically no cotton has been sold
on the Laurens market since the latter
part Of last week, warehouse room all
being taken, platform space being ov-
er-crowded and railroads unable to
handle shipments. The rush Of cot
ton to market during the past few
weeks has strained the facilities OF
handling with results that have prov
Ell inconvcnient to some and profitable
to others. While the cotton has been
kept off the market by congestion,
the market has steadily risen so that
those who have been forced to hold
against their wills have nctted over
$500 bale through their discontinue.
The New York and New Orleans mar
kets have been alternately strong and
weak during the past few days, but the
tendency has been gradually upward
so that local buyers would have been
willing to pay between 36 and 81
cents per pound yesterday had they
been able to buy and ship at all.
The condition appears not to be
peculiar to Laurens. Similar condi-
tions are reported elsewhere and en-
bargos were placed on shipments to
Greenville and Spartanburg early last
week. The first Of this week a SINH
lar embargo was placed on shipments
to Columbia, SO that this section is
almost bottled up. However, local rail-
road men hold out promises OF an
carly relief from present conditions
and 1t is thought that in day or two
the market will be open again.
