COTTON CONTRACTS
EASED OFE EEW POINTS
But Better Grades I -8c
Higher Locally.
Net changes were very small in the
cotton option market yesterday, losses
being the rule however. Liverpool
made a satisfactory advance with
spots selling 1 point higher than for
the day before. In the English con
tract market the near positions show
ed a little more strength than did
later months. The American markets
opened higher, but the disasters in
the stock market discouraged any
bullish support. On the other hand
the bears were none too« confident.
The agreement of the longshoremen
at New Orleans to return to work
was considered a favorable incident.
During the morning prices eased off
a few points, but firmed up late in
the session, then weakened a little at
the last. The close was several
points below the opening, 6 points
lower to 3 points higher at New
York, 4to 6 points lower at New
Orleans as compared with the previ
ous close. Spot prices were un
changed.
Prices in the local spot market were
revised, the differences between low
middling and above being widened
by the advancement of the bet
tening of the futures markets being
ignored. The receipts for the day
were 524 bales by wagon. Holders
were willing to sell at quoted values
ter grades 1-8 of a cent, the sof
ply was exhausted.
MONEY IS MADE ON
SMALL BIT OF LAND
Mr. Thomas Joiner, of Americus, is
devoted to his garden, and his spare
moments are spent there and with
good effect. His garden is but a
small plat of a few yards square, yet
he has sold $65 worth of vegetables
from it recently, besides what was
consumed upon his table. He also
raises pigeons as pets, and the sale
of these birds recently has netted
him S3O. Thus, with a little care his
back yard products amount to the
neat sum of nearly S2O, and with no
expense attached thereto.

COMMITTEE TO PASS
UPON THE PETITION
of Military In Request For
Assistance.
To the Finance Committee of the.'
city council is left. In large meas -
ure, the fate of the Americas Light
Infantry. As is well known, the
military company is sorely in need
•of financial assistance. In fact, to
such extent that its very existence
is at stake. The oompany, through the
Board of Trade, has petitioned coun
cil for assistance, and at the meet
ing Thursday night the request was
referred to the Finance Committee to
report back to council at its next
meeting. Doubtless the Finance com
mittee will do whatever is possible in
the premises, as that body as well as
all citizens realize fully the impera
tive need of maintaining the military
organization.
