stopped and stepped off too soon. He
received a slight cut above one of
his eyes and was bruised about Ills
legs. He was able to walk to his room
after the accident, however.
Mr. Jennings is a man of advanced
years, and his escape from more se
rious injury was miraculous.

Spot cotton prices are hardening in
the South and almost nothing offering
for sales except low grades, whien
come from the last pickings. The
white grades are in the hands of
strong holders who have made ua
their minds to hold until January or
February. Many of them confidently
believe they will get from 12c to 15'-
per pound. Europe continues to take
the offerings at advancing prices.
The American spinners and manufac
turers are in a sad plight. A little
over three mouths ago there was a
handsome profit in spinning I2e cot
