Receipts of cotton In Atlanta show nn unexpected decrease as compared with last year and the year before, the figures showing a loss of 6,600 bales as compared with 1S05, the previous bumper crop. For the first half of the season re ceipts were running considerably ahead of last year and compared fa vorably with those of 1906, but dur ing the lntter half a slump began which continued up to the clone. The sharp decrease cannot be attributed to the buyers for the mills that have re cently been built In the territory from which Atlnntn draw* her supply. They have apparently Ignored the middle man and bought from flrst hands. Tho nverage price for middling cot ton for the season was about 11 l-3e.
