Sales of Spot Cotton Here.
Instead of following even to a limi
ted extent the phenomenal advance of
January cotton, l which this week
scored a gain of 230 points, the other
positions, notably March and May,
have gone the other wav, the contract
market breaking badly yesterday.
March lost seventeen points, closing
at 0:10 from the opening 1 figures.
Americns cotton men would not be
surprised to see the market go several
points lower, tliongk a reaction will
pot quotations away above the present
level, Cotton has not yet renched its
highest, despite the belief that the
crop is larger than estimated some
time since. However, no one should
be misled by the present priee of spot
cotton in New York, as the valuation is
not a true one and is only arrived at
by the manipulation by certain bro
kers of the spot month (January,) in
the speculative market. There has
been a considerable short interest in
January and the market has been vary
shrewdly managed by those who had
in charge the interests of the longs, or
buyers. After waiting until too late
for tbo sellers to get tho spot cotton to
be tendered on contracts, they bid np
the market 2lo per pound, knowing
that they had control of all of tho spot
nary Suryev Here.
Instead of enlarging the buildings
now used here in tho manufacture of
fertilizer, the Yirginia-Carolina Chem
ical Co may decide to eject an entirely
new plant, larger aud better equipped,
and at some other locality than the one
now occupied.
The matter of building a new plant
is now being considered.
Mr. C. D. Borden, general manager
of the mannfactnring department, and
Mr. R, F. Sams, superintendent of
plants in Georgia, spent yesterday in
Americns on business.
It was stated by these gentlemen
that the Yirginia-Carolina Chemical
Co. was about ready to begin the en
largement of its plant in Americus,and
would do this either by greatly increas
ing the capacity of tho buildings now
used or erecting another plant.
The latter proposition might mean
the removal of the works to some other
part of the city or suburbs, where more
land is available.
This point will be determined after
beir reports to the company.
There are a half hundred available
sites here for manufacturing purposes,
aud there will be no trouble in getting
cotton that can be offered in the New I one sufficiently large for all purposes
