"So and so," remarked a citizen yester day, bought out the Inteiests of "his tenants in his cotton yield last fall on a basis of 12 cents a pound. Sev eral days before the bull campaign started he sold this cotton at eleven cents. He, therefore got nothing from his farms." Mr. Joe Barrett. Matthews busi ness man, was. in Monroe Thursday congratulating himself on bis decis ion not to sell 23 bales of cotton at 13 1-8 cents, the price offered him several weeks ago by a local cotton buyer. He could have got over 20 cents for his cotton yesterday, $1800xinore than he would have re ceived had he sold at the 13 cents quotation. "No apples this year," Is the bad news suit to Mr. T. L.

Several Monroe men bought contracts shortly after the "bull" movement began. One local man Is said to have wfcn over $400 In a short whll and another man Is reported to have bought an automo bile 'with his winnings. A number who are dealing in small lots have profits ranging from $40 to $200.
