Americus cotton men watched with
greatest interest yesterday the bull and
,bear light in t'.l(a New York pit,
wherein the grizzlies were given the
most unmerciful horning that a bunch
of cotton gamblers have received io
forty years, or since the high prices
following after the civil war.
To twenty cents per pound, or $100
per bale, the bulls boosted tie price
in the August "squeeze."
It was a gambler's fight wholly find
one that did not affect rea, values one
iota, as evidenced by the fact that
tbe spot cotton market went off here
ar.d in Savannah, as well, in face of
the upheaval.
It was the day for contract oxtton
delivery, and tine bunch of "’olack-
who would not know a cotton
plant front a rubber tree were up
against it.
They had to deliver spot cottaa
which they did not have, and never
expected to have, or-else pay the dif
ference in the price.
And there it was that the hulls got
thie bears right in between Gehema
and the azure sea. Opening at 16 1-2
cents, the price of August cotton went
up a half cent and one cent per
pound until Unremarkable price of
20 cents was reached, and there it
stood until the day’s close.
ot in half a century, perhaps, has
the price reached this Mgh noich; not
even in the boom Sully time a few
years ago.
So fast did the price advance yes
terday that the telegraph offices her;
feared an error might have been made
until assurance was given that the
figures quoted were right. Seventeen
cents was reached at 9:30 o'clock;
then 18 cents, then 19, and finally the
29 cent notch.
It must have created the .wildest
panic in New York where the bear
had,to dig ip lively.
Of course, any one here with a con
tract bought around 16 cents, would
he a millionaire today, but no one in
Americus was so lucky as to be on tile
“long” side. As stated, the whirlwind
prices in the cotton exchange dii
not affect values of spot cotton to
any noticeable extent.
It was only a gambler’s battle, and
the price of good cotton, the real ar
ticle, was quoted at 14 1-4 to 14 3-8
cents in the Americus market yester
day.
