COTTON CONTRACTS
UP 5 TO 11 POINTS
firmness of Holders Re
stricts Local Trading.
Net gains of 5 to 11 points were
made by cotton contracts yesterday.
After opening at advances of 1 to
6 points, values reached a higher lev
el, but at the close of the first hour
a sagging set in which carried prices
below the previous close. A female
statistician at New York was re
ported to he about to issue a state
ment giving the crop as 10,500,000
bales, and this was sufficient in the
afternoon to push the market up
ward. The sensitiveness of the
market to these low estimates Is be
coming greater as they continue to
follow each other.
Among the reports current was
one to the effect that Mr. Price has
closed out his short holdings and
taken the long side. Bulls are much
more numerous than a week ago and
it Is reported that a pool has been
formed to run In the uncovered
shorts.
The New York market opened
to 6 points up for the active posi
tions, but after a small advance, re
acted to a level 5 to 7 points below
the close for Tuesday. Prices firmed
up In the afternoon, largely on the
crop estimate, and the close was
to 11 points net higher for the sea
slon. Spot prices were marked up 6
points. New Orleans opened 4 to 6
points up. After some Irregularity
the market took a turn for the bet
ter. the close being a few points urn
der the best on realizing, and 8 to 11
points above the final figures for
Tuesday. 4ipot quotations were ad
vanced 1-16c.
Liverpool was due to come 6 to 9
points higher, and opened 5 to
points up. The market advanced
little nnd then eased off. The close
was barely steady 3 to 6 1-2 points
above the close for the previous day.
Spot prices Jumped 11 points with
sales of 10,000 hales. The English
market is due 2 to 3 points up
morrow, the market being closed
today, as will also he the American
markets.
Savannah received 2,510 bales yes
terday and New Orleans 1,444. The
estimates for tomorrow are: Hous
ton 11,600 to 12,000: New Orleans
17,600 to 20,000; Galveston 12,500 to
13,500.
In the Americus spot market trad
lng was light on account of the firm
ness of holders for better prices.
Small transactions were made-on the
basis of 10 3-4 cents for good mid
dling. with buyers actively out for
supplies. It was considered likely
that extra high running lines couM
have been readily sold on a basis
1-8 of a cent higher. The quotations
are advanced 1-8 of a cent over Tues
day. The receipts for the day were
14* bales.

SECOND CHECK FOR
$1,000 RECEIVED
Prof. Reddick Accomplish
ing Results for School.
Having Just received the second
check for $1,006 for tho Americus
Colored Institute from the General
Education Board, of New York, Prof.
Reddick was In a happy frame of mind
yesterday. This gift was made con
tingent on the raising of t£e same
amount by outside subscriptions, and
really represents -donations to the
school of $2,000.
In order to get the first $1,006, Prof.
Reddick raised $500 locally, but for
each succeeding thousand, up to the
limit of four thousand dollars, he
must raise dollar for dollar with the
gift from the Board. Thus far, then,
he has raised $1,600 and the Board
has contributed $2,000.
Prof. Reddick Is going to start af
ter another thousand dollars at once,
ns it must be raised by tho middle of
January to get the third installment
from the Board. He beHeves'he can
raise this additional amount
Prof. Reddick points out that Am
ericus gets the benefit of this money,
both or what Is contributed locally
and of the sums donated by the Board
Thus for every dollar contributed here
practically two are spent locally for
materials and supplies. This he re
gards os a strong argument for con
tributions, Nut well as the fact that
money will be used to educate his
race and make them better citizens
In every way.
A girl's dormitory has just been
completed, with eighteen rooms, and
a boys’ dormitory of equal size is be<
lng constructed. These two build
ings will provide needed accommoda
tions and will be a great thing for
the work carried on.
