COTTON RECEIPTS PILING UP. SAVASNAH 1(1.000 HAI.Eft AHEAD OA LAST YEAR AT TMlft TIME. I'arnrn Either lla.klnc Their rol lon to Alarkrt Early or Sovoooah la Dranini From Sew Territory, nearly All of It (omlng In the Manfarf Mole—Thin 1 rar'a F.ipor li IllflOOO Hales Against 441.000 llnlrs Year'a nt Thin Time. TIM attention of th* cotton trade here and elaearhere la being attracted to the large volume of cotton al Savannah, and tha Increase which t shown over last sea sun Since the opening of the present season 119,574 bales have been received, against, 10t.069 for the corresponding time last jear. This means that farmers are either rushing their cotton to market sooner than they did last year, or that Savannah Is drawing cotton from new ter ritory and consequently Increasing Its re ceipts. During the past few weeks the violent fluctuations In the market have been enough to open the eyes of the most con servative holders of cotton, and cause them to consider seriously whether it Is best to hold their cotton for the advances which are generally expected later on. or whether they should let go now on the spasmodic Jumps. Bulls who were able io enjoy champagne one day have been forced to be content with beer the next, und the seme may be said of beers who wera forced to remain out In the rain that was drenching them fearfully for a lime. Not only have the unnatural gyra tions of the market caused hosiers of cot ton lo wonder, and to gat excited and push Ihstr holdings to niarkst for feat of lower prises but the cotton trade gener ally have been awaiting developments to find out where they "are at.” The general belief la that thla season's crop will turn out a short one. The visible supply of ootton at the opening of the new season was smsli. which means that spin ners will require supplies, and will prob ably want them shortly. It Is true many mills are closing down, but It Is thought enough will continue tlsolr operations lo keep the market fairly free of accumula tions. The declines In the futures market during the past few days has been attrib uted to hammering by bears on report* which were not very well founded more than to the shutting down of mill*. That these report* are not true In every In stance is fast coming to light, and conse quently they do not exert much Influence on price*. The export* from Havnnnnh so far this season hava been 61.991 halo*, against 46,- ♦34 last year, and 31.194 year before last. Of this season's exports, 17.03* went coast wise, 30,753 to the continent, and 4.260 to P*rance It is a matter of Interest that only 960 round bales, counted a* 450 standard hales., have been exported so far during the season. This Is less than last ysar. It Is said, ard would seem to Indicate that the standard hale Is taking the lead at Savannah The Improved condition of the standard 24 by 54 packages received so far show that the farmers are endeavoring to Improve upon the lax methods adopted for some time In the haling of cotton The meaning of a better standard bale, with belter bagging, and properly compressed. Is that the round bale promoter* will have more serious problems to confront In ths future than they have had In the past. I.IKK TK %r HHOOTim \ew> of Imrmt to Tkatr W tin In riiilgr In the Sport. The Fnrrat Ctty Oun Dub will dose the sea*on for trap * hooting by giving on afternoon a hoot on thtr ground* Thurs day. Oct. 4. from 2to * o'clock.
