BUYERS IN AMERICUS AFTER THE FLEECY Brisk Demand for Cotton Here MARKET ADVANGES FIFTEEN POINTS And Thirteen and Quarter Cents Is Freely Paid for the Better Grades -Crop Deterioration Here Is Great. An advance of fifteen points in cot* ton values yesterday put the price In Amerlcus warehouses back to 13% cents, and the demand from buyers at this figure was good enough. A11 offerings of good cotton here are very readily accepted. Over 275 bales were received yes terday at local warehouses. While the rain for two days past has interfered somewhat with pick ing, the harvesting of the crops is going forward rapidly and over 2,000 bales will come here this week. Distressing reports continue to come in from all parts of the sur rounding territory in regard to the effect of the present drouth on the Chiton crop. The young cottOn bolls that are not more than half matured are opening Tery fast and the lint is of course no good, while forms are dropping off by the thousands every day, the ground underneath the stalks ' being covered with them. Three weeks ago a splendid crop of cotton was in sight, but the con tinued dry weather has changed the conditions to an alarming extent . The outlook Is Indeed a gloomy one to what it was a month ago and where there was the best indications of a fine crop the changed conditions toretell only a third of what was then expected. These conditions appear to be gen eral all over Georgia.

I.—In res ponse to a call by President - Harvey Jordan, a meeting of the executive committee of the Southern Cotton As sociation will be held here tomorrow tu fix the minimum price of cotton. Members of the association bebe.e that a much better price can be main tained this year than last. Hundreds of bankers throughout the cotton states have promised President Jor dan their, support and co-operation with the planters in holding cotton to as slow a movement as possible maintain a high level of prices. President Jordan has advised farmers to check the usually heavy avalanche of cotton on the' market. October and November, to avoid decrease in prices such as always follows a congestion. The members of the association will store their crop, when able to do so, and market It slowly, using their warehouse re ceipts to secure temporary lopns from their local bankers to meet pressing obligations. The promised aid of the bankei3 will aid the association In maintaining the agreed price, and will aid the fin anclal Institutions to secure larger bank accounts next year. With a short crop In prospect many members of the association believe minimum price of 15 cents Is justifi- ... ,, uu (Notice—All -legal advertisements must be brought to the business office not later than Wednesday noon of each month to, insure insertion, ac- «*>mpanled with the fee.
