THE QUOTATIONS
IN AMERICUS
At the opening of the cotton mar
ket Wednesday prices Jumped 13 to 26
points over the close for the day be
fore. Liverpool was about as due at
their opening but. by the time the
American markets were ready the
English market had overcome the
early losses and was actively on the
road to higher values. Spot sales
In that market were enormous and at
aa advance of 10 points. As was to
be expected, the advance In the Liver
pool market, which bad held back for 1
so long in the face of the recent ad
vance on this side, was the signal
for a response here. Prices were
pushed beyond the opening gains
bnt at the best a flood of selling or
ders, of which a large number were
from the South, came on the market
and the bulge following the opening
was more than lost. The close In
the American markets was at gains
of 13 to 23 points as compared with
the figures at the close for Tues
day.
New York opened 13 to 26 points up
With December Bllghtly In the lead.
January then made quite a gain, with
the other positions trailing some
distance behind. In the afternoon
the market weakened, the close being
practically at the low point for the
day, 13 to 16 points above the previous
close with the tone steady. Spot
prices were advanced 10 points. New
Orleans opened 18 to 25 points
December leading, and after a little
irregularity moved to a still higher
level. The close was at the lowest,
steady 21 to 23 points above the close
for Tuesday. Spot quotations were
unchanged.
Liverpool was due’ 2 to 3 points
lower and opened 1 1-2 to 4 points
down. At the 2 o’clock call the los
ses had been turned Into gains of 5
to T points. The close was steady, 10
points above the - final figures for
Tuesday. Spot prices were marked
up 10 points to 6.33d, with salerf of
15,000 bales.
In the local spot market the de
mand continued throughout the day.
When New York was at the highest
a good-sizod block of choice cotton
was sold on the basis of 11 1-2 cents
for good middling. As prices In the
controlling market eofted off, local
buyers were bidding on .1 good mid
dling basis ofM 3-8 cents and then
11 1-4 cents. At the two prices some

L. C. Joiner will serve a term

spend six months In Jail or pay a
fine not exceeding $1,000, In the dis
cretion of the court, as the result of
his trial in the superior court Tues
day afternoon upon the charge of
forgery.
The jury, at 8:30 o’clock last eight,
rendered a verdict of guilty, but rec
ommended a misdemeanor punish
ment for the crime.
The -recommendation alone saved
Joiner from a worse sentence.
Joiner heard the verdict with the
same Indifference which marked hfs
demeanor throughout the trial.
Judge Littlejohn will pass sentence
upo.n him this morning, quite likely,
and his fate will then be definitely
known.
Unless Joiner Is demented, as his
counsel vainly Attempted to show, he
did some really excellent acting
throughout the trial yesterday. With
hair disheveled, unshaven and un
tidy withal, his appearance was that
of a craxy man, to say the least.
But the jury thought such on as
tute business man and capital horse
trader as he was three or four weeks
ago could distinguish between right
and wrong, so found him guilty.
And the alleged forged notes were
In evidence to aid the jury In arriv
ing at this conclusion.
So an attempt was made to prove
Joiner mentally Irresponsible. This
had been done successfully before,

This Christmas trade Is going to be
the best In a long while. Times have
been a trifle tight, but the purse
strings will loosen up just the same.
The fierce weather of the past two

withstanding, and a delightful event.
Last week was a dull one In
superior court, but with the trial

the opaque gloom will be dissipated.

GODWIN FARM BROUGT
FAIRLY GOOD PRIGE
No Other Land Sells at
Public Outcry.
The fact that several parcels of
land were advertised for administra
tor’s sale Tuesday attracted a crowd
of buyers to the courthouse- at 11
o'clock. The first property offered,
the Arnold Godwin farm of 606
acres, was sold by the administra
tor and bought in, presumably for
the heirs, at the round price of $9860.
The Pennington place was cried, but
the sale finally withdrawn.
