$500 BALES GO
WHEN MARKET
TOPS 20 CENTS
VIII Mean Much To Community
In Easing Credits By Liqui-
dating Debts

Cotton worth nearly $15o,000 was
sold in Americus Friday afternoon,
most of it after the close of Che fu-
lures markets. The sales for the
day totalled about 1,500 bales, o.
which 1000 bales went from the L.
G. Council warehouse. The price
paid~for most of it was 20 cents for
round lots, or $1,000 per bale Of 500
pounds.
Sales today were negligible, yester-
days market having cleared the
boards of practically all the local
cotton being held for 20 cents.
Stocks remaining in Americas ware
houses no wtotai about $500 bales,
which is rather low for this time Of
year, and the bulk of it being held
for an unnamed higher price. Cot
ton on hand in Amcucus last year
in August, at the time the new crop
started coming in, totalled more than
5000 bales. 1t is believed that the
warehouses here win be practieaiIy
cleaned out this year when the new
crop begins coming in, condition
rarely seen.
The sale of $4,000 of cotton,
some of it three and four years old,
will mean much to the community.
Practically the entire amount will
go to the liquidation Of debts and
accounts, thus easing the credit con-
dition locally and permitting prog
ress logn held up to the get under
way again.
The strength Of the cotton market
is resulting from continued rains over
the cotton belt which has deteriorat-
ed conditions and heightened the
propect of another very short crop.

report just issued, estimated the
average condition for the entire belt

repetition Of last years crop condi-
tions throughout the season.
There are others, however. who
are more optimistic. 1t is pointed
