COTTON 20c TODAY Cotton is selling for 20c on the local market today, accord ing to a report from the Forest City Oil Mill. Cotton seed is bringing $40.00 per ton. The high point in the cotton market was reached Saturday I when cotton sold locally for 21 l-2c. This price was af fected by the . government's market report. A feature *of the markets this week is the steady absorp tion of cotton by the trade. Gin nings are beginning to fall off noticeably, and it is said that this year's crop is the fastest ginned on record. The general belief is that the crop is short er than that reported by the government, and indications of bad weather in some portions of the south are having their effect on the markets, which will poss ibly react in favor of the grow- | ers before the end of the week.
