Another cotton year baa rolled nroond,
and again the fleecy staple le beginning
to roll Into the city.
The cotton men count A year from the
first of one September to the flret of
the next, and today the year le up.
The receipt# this year of new cotton
amount to leas than one-fourth of that
.revived up to date laat year, the pre
valence of wet weather accounting for
'.be delay of the crop.
Tho receipt* In Americus for the year
ending laat night amount to nearly
T,0,000 balee, divided aa follows:
1.. U. Council’* warehouse 10,075
Alliance warehouse 5,200

Johnson A Harrold’e warehouse.. 8,233
At compresses 21,000

The receipts for the past month are aa

The receipts for August 9! last year
were:

This makes a difference of 775 bales
in favor of last year’s crop, only one
