CLARK & CO’S COTTON LETTER.
NEW YORK,, October 23, 1907.
The last hope of the bulls went out
when Liverpool came 13 lower on con
tracts and 18 down on spots. All
Europe has turned against the mar
ket. Our session has been a tragedy.
There was some slight hope until
Houston wired that Texas holders
had lost heart and were selling. After
this there was not a buying order in
the market and values simply col
lapsed. Heavy withdrawals from lo
cal hanks added to the distress of
■ the buii s whose cross has now be
come too heavy to carry. Ordinarily
the South comes to the support of
their great product in times like
these, but just now ttih South is sell
ing cotton with great confidence. Cot
ton goods were slaughtered today,
and rumors of failures among the
large jobbers set the trade agog. Op
inions are of little value just now,
until this carnival of pessi
mism and hysteria has run its course

COTTON CONTRACTS
BREAK SHARPLY
Local Spots in Better De
mand in Afternoon.
Gloom enveloped the cotton con
tract markets yesterday on account
of the continuation of the havoc in
the financial market, and prices again
sought lower levels. Liverpool was
demoralized both in futures and
spots. Added to this a little later
were reports of a letting loose of cot
ton by Texas farmers and this swept
away the last vestige of bullish
enthusiasm. Before the day was ov
er however the market firmed up on
an improvement elsewhere and the
losses since the opening were gener
ally regained and in some positions a
little added.
The opening was at losses of 11 to
18 points for New York and 20 to 21
points for New Orleans, due to the re
ports from the English market and to
the Wall street conditions. Prices
showed some bouyancy after the ope
ning but soon eased off on rumors of
Texas selling. The loss was regain
ed in all positions except Deoember
at New York. The close was 16 to 23
points net lower at New York for the
active months and 18 to 20 points
lower at New Orleans. Spots in the
former market were quoted 30 points
lower, and at New Orleans % cent
off. Savannah was 3-16 of a cent low
er.
Liverpool spots lost 36 American
points, while futures were 11 to 18
English points below the close for
Tuesday, the tone at the last being
denominated feverish.
Local Market
In the Americus spot market
published quotations are reduced %
of a cent from the previous day, good
middling being quoted at 10% cents,
During the morning some business
was transacted on a basis of 10%
cents, with the demand poor. In the
i afternoon buyers were more interest
j ed in securing supplies, and in some
instances were willing to pay 10%
cents for good middling, with other
grades in proportion. Sales were
made on this basis, but the demand
was not sufficient to clean up the lo
cal stock. Planters and factors were
inclined to hold a part of the cotton
for better prices. The receipts for
the day by wagon were 305 bales.

LARGE TRANSLORMER
PUT IN BY COMPANY.
Electric Plant Being Worked
Nearly to Capacity.
The Americus Lighting and Power
Company has put a large transform
er in front of the Times-Recorder of
fice, substituting it for a smaller one
there. This increases the power
available for that section of the city.
The electric lighting plant is be
ing worked nearly up to its capacity
at this time.
Every year has seen an extension
of the city’s electrical requirements.
It has been apparent for a year or
two that the time was approaching
when it would be necessary either
to put in an entirely new plant or
to greatly extend the old one. It is
probable that but for the advent of
the new company it would have been
necessary for the old concern to
have arranged to improve its plant
considerably within the next twelve
months to meet the actual consump
tive requirements of Americus.
While no work is being done at this
time on the new plant it is generally
known that the delay has been caus
ed in part by the death of Mr. Har
rold and then by causes that could
not be expedited any more than they
have been.
The new plant will furnish a higher
grade of electric lights than are at
present secured. There seems to be
no doubt that its business will show
a decided increase over that done by
the old company and that electricity
as a lighting medium will be more
and more resorted to in stores and
homes.

AMERICUS TO SEND A
DELEGATION TO MACON
To Attend the Grand Lodge
Meeting.
Americus Masonic circles are in
terested in the annual conclave of
the Grand Lodge of Georgia in Ma
con next Tuesday, when two thous
and Masons will assemble. Both Am
ericus Lodge No. 13 and M. B. Coun
cil Lodge No. 95, wil be strongly rep
resented. The city auditorium has
been secured for the convention, as
the Masonic temple is by far too
small to accommodate the members.
The auditorium will seat at least
2,000, while the capacity of the Ma
sonic temple is less than one thous
and. Next Monday a meeting of the
public property committee of the
grand lodge will be held in Macon to
determine upon what should be done
in regard to a new r temple. It will
probably be decided to remodfel the
Macon building. It is estimated that
this can be done for a cost of not
over $30,000. The grand lodge is re
ported by Grand Master Meyerhardt
as having $30,000 in the treasury at
present.
NEGRO SKEDADDLED
HOTLY PURSUED
When two buggies came into vio
lent collision on Cotton avenue yes
terday as the alleged result of care
lessness upon the part of a negro
driving one of the rigs, the gentle
man occupying the other buggy leaped
out, whip in hand, and made for the
ebony pilot. But he never caught him.
Cuff saw the whip all right, and as
he knew the man at the business end
of it he struck a gait that would have
done credit to a quarter horse. The
avenuevians marveled at the running
but missed the expected finale.
SEVEN RAILROADED
TO PASCHALLAND
Another busy day in the city court
was yesterday with the result that
Supt. Paschal gets a half dozen addi
tional recruits from his zebra camp.
There were three convictions and
several pleas of guilty to gaming and
other like diversions in sportive
blackdom. Judge Crisp is still busy
at the helm, and today will like
wise be taken up in the trial of multi
tudinous misdemeanor meannesses.

REUNION SURVIVORS
OE LIGHT BRIGADE.
Twenty-Eight Left from Im
mortal Charge.
LONDON, October 23.—(Special)—*
Twenty-eight survivors of the charge
of the Light Brigade, immortalized
by Tennyson’s poem, will join Fri
day in celebrating the anniversary of
that famous encounter. The event
will be rendered notable by the col
lection of a fund for the benefit of
the survivors, nearly all of whom
are poor.
It was on October 25, 1854, just fif
ty-three years ago, that Lord Lucan,
commanding the British cavalry, at
Baiaklava, through a misconception
of the orders of the commander-in
chief, Lord Raglan, directed Lord
Cardlgau to make the historic charge.
With a battery in front and one on
each side, 670 horsemen hewed their
way past the guns and routed the Rus
sian cavalry. Os the 670 only 198—
“all that w'as left of them”—rode back
to the British lines.
