Cotton Takes a Rise, Following Re ports on Short Crop. (By Savannah Cotton Factorage Co.) Savannah, Ga., Sept. B.—The cotton market continued to advance this week, October contracts closing ex cited and irregular today at 27.60, or 2 1-2 cents for the week. The advance was due to covering by shorts and speculative buying of the small re ceipts outside of Texas. One million, eighty-eight thousand and seventy-two bales were ginned in Texas up to September Ist, aud only 53,265 bales were ginned in all other states during the same period. Official ginning figures to September Ist were given out today, as follows: Alabama, 4,704 bales; Arkansas, 3,- 663 bales; California, 1,277 bales; Georgia, 19,756 bales; Florida, 803 bales; North Carolina, 445 baler-; South Carolina, 2,327 bales; Mississ ippi, 1,457 bales; Louisiana, 12,820 bales; Oklahoma, 5,268 bales; Text; 1,088,072 bales; all other states 745 bales. Futures dropped a few points im- • mediately after the report was pub- | lished. Then a wave of buying set in j and there was an excited advance to 27.90 for October, this moi.th closing , at 27.60. Based on the ginning figures above Texas has ginned neaily one-third of ; her crop, while the other states hava j just begun. There may be temporary dips from i time to time, but we see no reason | for selling cotton under thirty cents per pound. SHOWS ELECTRIC SIGNALS.
