Ought Cotton to be Held ?
It looks like cotton might go high
er, but our advice to the farmer is to
sell as rapidly as you can market the
crop. Not that we wish to see him
lose one penny that he might make
by holding but lor the following
reasons : '
i st. There is no certainty of a fur
ther advance.
2d. There is a chance of its going
lower. '' I
3d. It weighs more now than it
ever will again.
4th. Every man who planted must
have done so with .the expectation of
realizing from J to 6 . cents ai th;

net profit of at least two and one-half
