COTTON HOLDING

communication has been issued by
Harvie Jordan, president of the South-
ern Cotton association:
"Notwithstanding the recent heavy
and unathorized depression in the
price of spot cotton, due to bearish
speculative influences, the great ma-
jority of spot holders have stood firm
and refused to be panic-stricken on
the extreme tactics pursued by the
large cotton buyers and exporters to
shake out cotton from the interior of
the old states. We are now facing
° lantu oraers as
tar ahead as December and into next
year. Mill sales are based on the
future price of spot cotton, as spin-
ners realize prices will advance in the
near future. Remember that last
Marcn with cotton at 7 cents in the
ace of a 14,000,000-bale crop, those
who held received lOfc cents early in

men say the raw cotton if. worth 15

RECEIVER APPEALS
Case Against a Guaranty Company
Taken to U. 3. Supreme Court
GUTHRIE: Charles T. Cherry, re-
ceiver of the Capitol NaUonal bank
here, has appealed to the United
States supreme court his case against
the Fidelity and Deposit company of
Baltimore, Maryland, wherein fee sues
to recover on the bond of Charles T.
Billlngsley. president of the defunct
bank. The bond was conditioned on
a statement made by the assistant
cashier, R. Stewart Briggs, to the
egect that Billlngsley was not indebt-
ed to the bank, which its books
showed to be false. The receiver con-
tends that the officers who made the
statement was.n«t authorized to do
so and that the hank should not be
bound. The Oklahoma courts decided
against him.
