S?5 'Hating Cotton. "
Messrs Rogers, McCebe A Co, Cotton
Exporters of Norfolk, Vs., have made a
general propoattion throngh their repre
aensatlve, Mr J R Ball,: to advance: all

and charges, but after that dale, regular
charges will apply.' -
There is one advantage In shipping
the cotton to Norfolk, aa that market is
bated on actual bntlnesi. Quota
tions are - made each day by a
committee of five, and are fixed by act
ual sales. In shipping Rogers McCabe
& Co, the farmer or merchant would
have the advantage of knowing that be
received the full value of his cotton the
day he concludes to sell. And bis tale
could be verified by the offiolal quota
tions of the No folk market,
Rogers McCabe & Co. operate their
own compress at Norfolk, tnd are In
position to handle cotton with tbe great
est economy for their customers and ob
tain the very best results;
