The indications are that Lam
caster is to have the best year ir
her history from a husness standpoint.
In every lino business it
active. We have had occasior
before to mention the activity ol
business at our four big salu sta
hies- how our dealers are whole
saling and retailing mules an<
horses?about thirteen car loadi
have been handled by them thit
month, at a small profit they say
but their low prices tiring custo
mors from all parts of the State
While strong competition amonj,
the stock men has made trade ac
tive in their line, strong competition
is also making trade liveli
in our mercantile establishments
Goods are sold as near the cost ii
Lancaster as anywhere in SoutI
Carolina, and, as a consequence
wo moot people on our strati
from adjoining counties, almost
daily, who come here to trade, li
is not an unusual tiling for one oi
two of our leading commercia
establishments t< take in frnn
five to six hundred dollars in casl
in a single day, aside from theii
credit sales It is low prices,
brought about by uctive com pet i
tion, that is bringing such at
amount of trade to our town
But, competition is not continet
to the mule traders and the mer
cantile establishments, we find it al
so among the cotton huyera. Cottoi
in bringing almost, if not quite a
much hero as it is iu Liverpool
S cents per poi nd has heen tin
ruling price here the past foil
days and about (J00 hales hav<
been bought. March futures ar<
onlx quoted at 7.Y cents in Nov
York, and yet .January spot i
bringing S cents right along at thi
place. The war is on, and tin
farmer is wise who docs his trad
ing at Lancaster and sells his cot
ton here this year.
YV e congratulate tlie farmers o
this, and adjoining counties thu
they have such a market as Lan
caster to buy in and to sell in
The I leal h U & M Co , want
your cotton and wants your trade
The Lancaster Mercantile Co., i
just a> eager for both. You an
sure to get the top in selling am
the bottom in buying.
