THE THOMSON COTTON MARKET
Certailily there can bo no just
ground for complaint against the
'Thomson cotton market ho fur
during tho present season . Frum
the time the market could fairly
said to be open to the present, the
highest cash prices hero been paid,
Rnd in nearly ovary instance the
prices hav« boon above Augusta,
when freight to, and expenses of
handling there are c< n i.lered and
on a numhur of days straight Au
gusta prices have been paid.
This is as it should bo. Every
interest known to the trade should
be represented at n market like
Thouisfui, and wlum they arc ho
represented the best prices can he
hud uny day in tho season.
The news of tho good Htrong
market at Thomson in passing
from mouth to mouth, and already
the tflVct is being felt by the com
ing of loaded wagons from greater
distances than usuul, and the
earjy opening «>f tho Fad trade.
Keep up a strong and vigorous
cotton market and Thomson’s
trade will be greatly increased
during th* present season.

That will take tno American spin-
'ners out the tho market during
tho month of October when tho
crush cf cotton is heavivst on t he
market, and by this means they

To begin with the theory is ab
surd. From the days of the In
dians the .Southern people have
used corn in both the
liquid states, and yet

Southerners who during the !nut
