There has been a rather lively lovement in cotton on the Kingsree market ever since the staple eached the 7?-cent mark months go, but more lively still has it been nee it advanced to 9 cents about le first of April and then to its resent price of cents, middling asis. Most of the cotton sold on le local market brought 8 cents, ut since it advanced to 9 cents the rpflt. hulk nf the 5.000 or more bales Lored in the four tobacco wareouses of Kingstree last fall has een taken out, put on the platform nd soldy For a time the price of the great outhern staple was apparently at a ;andstill around 7 cents the pound, he small farmer had held his crop 3 long as he could, and with no 1 rospect of an advance in price he t it go at that low figure. Now, hen it has reached 94 cents on the cal market, with prospect of a furler increase, there remain in the ?cal warehouses only 300 or 400 ales unsold. 1 Patriotic citizens who hearkened : ) the "buy-a-bale movement" at 10 ?nts the pound early in the fall are elding on to their bale or bales and i all probability will soon be able to 1 >alize the price paid, minus, peraps, warehouse charges, and it may i ? that within the near future prices ill advance sufficiently to offset this ctra cost. With the general ad- i ance in the price of cotton, all ranches of business are picking up, 1 ad our merchants are now appar- 1 itly in better spirits than they have i ?en since the great slump in the 1 fleecy staple" became effective iroughout the country early last 1 ill. m J PLAY BALL! ?? association Formed Looking to etttng Klngstree In the Game. ] A mass meeting of the business < en of the town was held at the ( >urt house Tuesday night for the , jrpose of organizing a baseball ] isociation.
