of cotton brought ito our market
last year up to Octi. Ist aiid this

the prices of the two seasons,
we find a great difference. Last
year the books showed that
2,856 bales had been spld, this
year only 359. The ,price Oct.
Ist. 1900 was 10£f, Oct. Ist,
1901 it was There was a
(inference of 2,497 bales with a
reduction of 2b? in the price
which amounts to a great deal.

not be as short as is now Re
