little Cotton Being Sold.

Ordinarily several hundred bales OF
cotton are marketed in Fort Mill by
the end of the first week in October,
but this year little OF the staple Is
being sold on the local market, due to
two causes. 1t Is said-the recent big
slump in price and the inability OF
those who find 1t necessary to market
their cotton as soon as 1t is ginned to
Gather II on account Of the inciemcnt
weather Of the last, few days. Many
farmers In this section are in position
to hold their cotton for better prices
and will either store 1t on their places
on In the public warehouses, Others
are not so fortunately situated and
circumstances with them are such
that they must market their cotton
at once. even though they are forced
to sell for less than the cost of pro-
duction. Various opinions are express
ed as to the course of the market in
the next few weeks. Some are opti-
mistid, believing that the recent de-
cline In price Will soon be succeeded
by . better market, while Others are
|discouraged over the outlook.
