HOLDING COTTON. Daily Receipts Lower Than Last Years—Will Sell at 10. There can be no doubt but the farmers in this section are in sym pathy with the movement to hold cotton, unless it can be sold for ten cents, for there has been a consid crable decrease in the receipts in the local market for the past two weeks. All during this time the price has been below ten cents. A cotton factor remarked yester day: < t There is a growing tendeti cy among the farmers who read the daily papers, and naturally, the Daniel J. Sully articles, to hold their cotton in hope of it going to ten cents thereby. They will wait a long while, in my opinion, for cotton will remain below ten cents until the first of the year. In the opinion of the more con¬ servative dealers, however, the de¬ termined stand of the cotton grow¬ ers is bound to cause a reaction and it is declared that they need to be faithful until the very shrrt crop is apparent, when the price will bound upward, ouch more.
