While the market for the raw material

with no let up In the demand In night, ns
shown by the following extract from the

There are many Incident* which intgut lie

pond, lost iiiouey, sfiuenled, aud caused two

Cotton that would go on contract In New

South. Hjnit dealers have, a* a rule, been
too busy filling tbelr commitments to pay
much attention to the iMMstbiltte* hi this
