GEO. D. WHEATLEY COTTON BRINGING
HIGHEST PRICES
I intended to have given you a carefully
prepared advertisement for display in our
usual space this morning, but have been un
able to do it, for the reason, that notwith
standing our force has worked day and night
during the entire week, yet our store
crowded to oyer-flowing with numerous un
opened cases containing the choicest styles
of

Fine Clothing,

all of which must be opened and marked up—
or rather MARKED DOWN, before we can
take care of the crowd whibh usually comes
our way after special advertisement in the
Times-Recorder.
We have already opened, however, a per
fectly gorgeous display of early fall Dress
Goods, Separate Skirt and Waist materials.

Yesterday was full of surprises for
the cotton fraternity, nnd prophets
who predicted a temporary slump
would have been without honor in their
own country and out of it as well.
Eloven cents is where booming prices
carried the staplo here.
Think of it; eleven cents now, when
the most optimistic “bull” never dared
hope for that figure earlier than Janu
ary. Lut that's the price now.
Instead of declining, as predicted,
the contract market advanced full fifty
points yesterday and carriod the price
of spots whirling towards the top, if
there is any top.
Some here believe that cotton is
cheap even at eleven cants.
They think it will bo worth twelve
before the holidays, and oven talk
abont fifteen cents next spring.
But it touched eleven cents in Amer-
iens yesterday, the highest point reach
ed in many years, and the ontiro pop
ulace rejoiced and made merry.
It is true that only a few bales sold
at that topmost figure, the ruling price
being 10, to 10J, but three warehouses
reported sales at 11 cents while it was
said that one lot of very fine cotton
brought an eighth better.
And it will likely go considerably
higher this morning.
fabrics, which at the attractive prices mark
on all should insure for us a busy week this of
selling.
Our new Carpets, Rugs and Mattings;
Chenille and Derby Tapestry, Portieres and
Table Covers, have also been opened, and you
would be surprised at the low prices which
our experience and opportunity enables us
to offer on all.
I am going to write you next'week the
promised advertisement, which will contain
many promises to our friends, and customers,
and it will become my privilege and pleasure
to see that every promise made is faithfully
carried out. Very truly'yours,

If Liverpool responds to Now York’s
advance of yesterday, eleven cents will
be the prevailing price today while
fancy grades will probably bring the
eighth. *
The first bale to be sold here yester
day at 11 cents belonged to Matt Hart
and was bought by the Georgia Cotton
Company. The bale was raised by a
negro named Seay, on Hart’s farm,

To the astonishmont of cotton men
here the market jumped nearly a hun
dred points yesterday, beating all
records, and at the close the gain was
not only firmly maintained hat strong
Bins were likewise made in Septem
ber deliveries, while spot cotton ad
vanced a full half cent.
; It was a stupendous j amp, and the
end is not yet in sight.
It was believed that a reaction would
follow the tremendous strides made
last week, bat instead of a stamp the
market soars higher than ever before.
Cotton men who had been in the
trade for years declared they had never
witnessed anything like it. January
contracts opened np sixty points above
Saturday’s close, tboneh this record
was clearly beaten by September,
which closed Saturday at 0.50 and yes
terday at 10.50, a gain of jnst one ham
dred points in a day.
This month made a dash of 40 to
points on the closing coll.
The monthly bareau report, issued
at noon yesterday, was not especially
“bnllish” as expected, the general
average being 08 02, and the great
jamp in prices cannot be attributed to
this sonree.
It is nothing more nor less than an
unprecedented demand for spot cotton,
and to what extent this may put the
market up still higher is only a matter
of conjecture where the opinion of
a bootblaok is worth as muon as that
