For the first time In cotton mill his tory In Georgia, « Georgia mill has just ordered 600 bales of cotton from Liver pool. and In order to get It has willing ly paid the transportation and other charges, which Increase the price of the staple about 1 8-4 cents a pound. Never before has such a thing been known to Atlanta cotton experts and they declare that this shows better thsn anything else the scarcity of splnnable cotton unagld In the United States. The order for thla cotton was placed through Inman, Akers & Inman, and not a member of this firm knows of another Instance where a cotton mill was ever compelled to buy cotton In , Liverpool to spin because cotton of that class could not bo secured In thla country. It Is pointed out that In the past cot ton has been shipped from Liverpool to New York and New Orleans, when j there was a corner, but this was cnly - done for speculative purposes, and w as . | not a case where a mill was compelled to go abroad to secure cotton of tho proper grade to spin. That such a thing Ir possible and yet , profitable Is shown by,tho fact that dry goods are selling at high prices, uml even by having to pay a cent and three- I quarters more per pound thero Is still - enough margin to moke It profitable.
