LOCAL WAREHOUSES
REDUCE STORAGE RATES-
Local warehouses announce a re
duction in storage charges from SI.OO
per bale to 75c per bale, per month.
This reduction will mean a saving to
their customers of between four and
five hundred dollars per month, and
will no doubt be appreciated by their
patrons, as the new rate is the lowest
est in this section for the service per
formed by the warehouses.
Both warehouses .are full of cotton
at this time and the reduction is their
part in absorbing the general shrink
age in values all over his section.
