Special to Independent
Little Rock, Oct. 30.—The)
Board of Penitentiary Commis- j
sioners is in the market with I
250 bales of long staple cotton, t
and find a scarcity of buyers. \
The Commission has gone about!
the marketing of its cotton in a j
most business like manner. It i;
has leased offices in a downtown |.;
building where many of the cot
ton concerns are located, and f
there the samples of all cotton j
for sale are kept on display. It j
was almost impossible to get the i
cotton buyers out to look at
samples when displayed at the j
penitentiary or Capitol. The j
Commission has heretofore sold j
201 bales. A crop of 2500 bales j
was expected, but the fall rains ,
have decreased the yield.

In the statistics for cotton
ginned in Jackson county up to
October 18, the government sta
tistician, II S. Simmons, re
ports 8,605 bales ginned to that:
date, compared with 7,465 upon
the same date last year, which ;
shows that the farmers of the!
county have made remarkable
headway considering the weath
er which has prevailed.
All Jackson county needs is'
a dry and fairly warm November
to market the crop raised at
prevailing prices and her peo-,
I pie will be prosperous as a rule.
