Sentiment in cottan otrcles says that the present upward m ivement has not yet spent its course. It may go even higher. This n-*ws will welcomed by Georgians who have saved their cotton sot ' the high market. Excessive rains, Delaying farm work, heavy demand for goods rise in foreign exchange and rapid depletion of stocks of raw cottoi ire tsaid to lie the principal factor,- bdiind the rise. o LOST! LOST!
