Lancastrians lioiiiing Cotton.
A sjaoini ;<> the News mid Courier
from Lancaster, Dec 17, says:
While it niuy bo true, as stated in
one or nioro of yesterday's daily
pa; crs, i. t farm tin various
n't - : f ih'1 'Slute .are selling their
cotton at ne pre .-'. ill 1<>W price,
control to the advice of li.o CotIon
Growers' Convention, such is
not the ea-o in thG locality.
T; i da\.s ago tin cotton receipts
here were about 700 bales ahead
<>i iho receipts the same tr.no last
year; now they uro about, even, so
your correspondent is informed
by the public weigher, Mi Nishet.
Un'j nine tubes wore marketed
here yesterday, and rouliy they
wore said ^o^n? lime ago, but not
delivered until yesterday.
There i- probably no doubt
about the f ict that thorn is still
considerable cotton in the country
unsold, but it is mainly in the
possession of fanners who ure able
to hold it, and nrs unlikoly to soil
until prices improve.
