Old Dispensary IluihlingK In Columbia Now Produce about Three Per Cent Income on Investment. The Sinking Fund commission feels very well satisfied with the way In which the buildings on west Qervias street, formerly occupied by the State dispensary, have been temporally disposed of, no purchaser having ap peared at the minimum price fixed by the general assembly, $75,000. The arrangement which the commission now has in force is yielding a revenue of between 21/& and 3 per cent on $75,000, whereas, until this arrange ment witB effected, tbo plant was not only a dead load, yielding no return upon the money tied up in it, but watchmen had to be maintained day and night for Its protection and high insurance premiums were being paid for the same purpose. Value Enhancing. The plant comprises four acres of ground, upon which are located an Office building, several cottages and a big warehouse of two stories, contain ing eight compartments, each 48 by 100 feet In floor area. It Is situated in the wholesale district, which has expanded notably in recent years, late sales of realty in that quarter having indicated remarkable advances in value. Columbia Record.

CHARLESTON, S. C. THE COTTON MARKET 18 RATHER SLUGGISH Speculation is Listless with Prices Irregular. EAST INDIA CROP A MILLION SHORT Cotton Market at Present Is n Languid Affair, hi Which .Musi of the People me in iui Expectant Altitude Await* in it Something to Turn i'p to send (lie .1!;:; kcl I p or Don II. Speculation in cotton lust week was listless and confined for the most part to professional operators, ir regularity of prices has been notice able, but on the whole quotations have been pretty well sustained, de spite a certain amount of bearish scn .i tlmeht among commission houses who have been impressed by the con tinned largeness of the movement of the crop to market, the sluggishness of trade and the indifference of the outside public to the speculation at or near to the l&.cent level. There has been a fear. too. that the next ginning report may be rather bearish, showing a larger total than most people had been led to expect. Also the New , [York certificated stock continues rap-. Idly to increase and some regard it as j a standing menace to the market. Not a few speculators long of the market have sold out in disgust owing to the persistent lassitude of the specula tion. Now and then stop orders have been encountered. Liverpool, New Orleans. Wall street and local traders have sold. On the other hand, however, the Liverpool spot sales have been large enough to indicate that foreign spinners were buying there with a certain freedom. Lancashire's trade: Is active at firm quotations. Greek interests usually well informed insist that the East Indian crop is 1.000,000 bales smaller than that of last year. The Bombay receipts certainly show a noteworthy reduction thus far this | season. Spot quotations at the South have been on the whole quite steady. Very large spot Interests and spin-I ners have been among the buyers of futures here. Spinners have also been buying futures here on any re cession. At times the receipts at the ports have fallen off noticeably. This was attributed to cold weather, but there are those who believe that be fore long the decrease will be at once permanent and sharp. It Is argued by not a few that there Is no surplus of cotton at the South weighing upon the market. Exports have been lib eral and they are expected to reach 1 a large total during January. Very large New York and Texas specula tive Interests have given support to !'e market from time to time. It Is believed by many that trade in 1911 will show considerable improve ment "over thai of IDtO in conjunction With ah improvement in general busi ness, of which they think they see signs already. IJUt for the moment it must be con fessed thill the cotton market is a languid affair in which the majority of people are waiting for something new to develop. The public Is plainly loath to embark in aggressive bull speculation at !?"> cents unless some thing new shall appear to give them greater confidence, or until the bulls demonstrate their ability to put the price up sharply Ulld keep it up and advance it to higher and . higher levels.
