TWO A SI EICIC'I’S BOYS
Are Caught by a Curious Trick in Colum
bus, (ia.
Tuesday night, while two young boys
from Ainericus were standing In the
union depot, they were approached by a
negro wearing the uniform of a brake-
man and asked If they wanted work
again.
That the outlook is rather discoui-
aging is not to be denied, and yet farm
ers and merchants have in their very
souls a grim determination to retrench,
to economize to the last notch and to
win the desperate fight at all hazards.
The local market went off a fraction
yestorday and everything was as quiet as
the tomb. It was exceedingly quiet.
A Timks-Rk< or i»kk reporter inter
viewed a prominent cotton merchant
yesterday morning concerning the re
ceipts of Americus this season and the
prospects for a rise in prices—a reaction
from the present stagnation in cotton
circles.
“Why arc the receipts so very small?
was asked.
“They arc not very small when you
take into consideration the amount of
cotton raised in the vicinity. Our cotton
receipts last year were about 0.1,000 bales,
the crop this year is 30 per cent, short.
Thirty per cent, now of 0:1,000 is 18,000
bales. Now take 18,000 bales from
<13,000 and It leaves 45,000 bales as the
maximum of our receipts for this year.”
“But, will Americus receive this45,000
bales this year?’’
“That question is easily answered by
referring you to the present receipts and
let you draw your own corclusions. I
can say that from present indications
that I believe that before the season is
at an end that the culminating figure
will bo In excess of 45,000. Our ware
house facilities are excellent, and taking
everything into consideration the people
oi Americus have abundant reasons to
feel pride in her record as a cotton
market.”
“What about prices 0 ”
“They are lower uow than anytime
within my memory for twenty years. I
am certain, however, that It will be next
thing to an impossibility for them to
sink any lower than they are now.”
“Is there much ungathered cotton?*’
“No, the crop is to all practical ends
gathered, and not enough remains in the
holds to aifect in a material measure the
present computations of the amount of
cotton produced.
The staple of cotton is much superior
this year than it lias been for years.”
