Thie farmers around mo'intvilie are
watching the cotton iarket with much
iiterest at present, and they are puz
zled to know Just (when to let go of
the staple, but In our judgement cot
toil lias about reached its turning
point, as it is iiot expected to advance
to an inl reasona ble price as some peo
ple miay t hink. So if you want to take
advaitage of :31 eieits per pound, sell.
