m V, HE ENTERPRISE
COVINGTON, GA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1905.
HOLDING COTTON.
Daily Receipts Lower Than Last
Years—Will Sell at 10.
There can be no doubt but the
farmers in this section are in sym
pathy with the movement to hold
cotton, unless it can be sold for ten
cents, for there has been a consid
crable decrease in the receipts in
the local market for the past two
weeks. All during this time the
price has been below ten cents.
A cotton factor remarked yester
day: < t There is a growing tendeti
cy among the farmers who read the
daily papers, and naturally, the
Daniel J. Sully articles, to hold
their cotton in hope of it going to
ten cents thereby. They will wait
a long while, in my opinion, for
cotton will remain below ten cents
until the first of the year.
In the opinion of the more con¬
servative dealers, however, the de¬
termined stand of the cotton grow¬
ers is bound to cause a reaction
and it is declared that they need
to be faithful until the very shrrt
crop is apparent, when the price
will bound upward, ouch more.
