COTTON LOOMS UP 1
THE MERCHANTS TAKE A
HAND IN IT.
They Say That the Farmer* Shall
Have a Fair Price for Their
Gotten In GriSIn.
Yesterday cotton opened afc~7% to
8 cents.
It having been reported that cot¬
ton was being carried to other places
on account of the price the mer¬
chants determined to remedy this,
and after a short consultation a
petition was carried around and
signed by a number of firms agreeing
that they would pay 8% cents for
cotton in cash.
The effect was electrical.
The farmers who were in town
quickly heard of this and the mer¬
chants were kept busy handling the
staple.
It was noticeable that cotton in
the different circles began to look np
and by night 8Ji was the general
price paid for fancy cotton.
The buyers, although taken at a
disadvantage, did all in their power
for their customers.
A prominent merchant said lust
night: “We are determined to see
that the farmers get a fair price for
their cotton and that Griffin shall
pay the very highest market value.’’
A farmer who had sold his cotton
at Sunny Side for 8 cents was dis¬
consolate over the fact that he had
gone to the wrong market.
The cause of these rumors about
the Griffin market, we learn, was the
fact that a gentleman who lived in
Henry county had started to Griffin
with three bales o! cotton and was
told that the Griffin market was on¬
ly 7%, while at Suany Side they were
paying 8 cents.
The report spread from that and
the result is that t he fa rmexw lost a
good sum of money who carried
their cotton to Sunny Side, while
Griffin lost a few bales of cotton.
