DON'T COMPLAIN. ua Wc were in for mind that on n cor- 8i? tain day last.week a nearby mi!! paid 0f 1 a little mere for cotton than our ?ei o T market price. We began an inveati- }>r< gntion and we found that it lud been Wo j done at two places. We do not e ve ab to publish the particulars but we bo readily fouud that the purr liases wer tin justifiable, and that the in irkcl price thi at these places were no higher than mi in Union.. We are away above N?w Qu York's quotations on Oetobor deliv- Co! cries, and therefore wo have no room to . ^ for complaint.

Now York quotations as was done be.j, fore our mills wore erected?the cot1 ton shipped to New York the amount ( of freight, of course, coming from the price paid for cotton would be say 07 IV cents per 100 lbs. iJ.tid per bale.

Now you sell a (j'(> iS 300 pound bait? in Union for 7;^you eal ns receive $80.87^. A saving on ac10 count of our factories being in the ^ market of $3.97? on every 3V pound tie (t) bale you sell, say the yield of Union do 1 county should be 20,000 bales.

Tiiis is a consideration not to bo sneezed afc.
