Terms on Purchases amounting to over $3o. M. C. Howie Charlotte Cotton Hnjer Declare Xo Telling Where Price My (Jo. (From the Charlotte News.) "Cotton will soon be selling higher than during war times," declared a well known Charlotte buyer this morning as he came out of an office where the ticker were telling those interested In the sensational upturn in the cotton market that the ad vance Tuesday morning was nearly 17 the bale. The opinion ot this gentleman wus not generally shared by other buy ers, but the general sentiment was to the effect that 20-cent cotton would be a reality before Saturday night and that, unless some unlock ed for development turned up, 25 cent cotton would rule within the next two weeks. In fact, many buy er expressed some doubt as to where the price of cotton might go unless more favorable developments are speedily recorded. The situation over the belt Is re ported over the wires and by local cotton factors as affording a possi bility for 40-criit or 60-cent cotton, provided business shows any dispo sition to get normal at an early date, these men say. The severe weather of the past week has had a marked effect of de terioration on the crop, buyers de clare. The weather In this section where farmers are beginning to re port the premature burstini: open or cotton holl?, as well as shedding to a severe degree, is tor the most part duplicated throughout the onth. I Mecklenburg farmers say that cotton Is losing every day and thnt unless Ithe blistering Fiinshlne Is mingled with showers, what ten days au'o ap peared to be prospects for a dull crop In this county will turn out to be less than hair or a normal production. m a- Card of Tlmnks.
