Marlin, Texas, Wednesday, December 4, 1907

-----

    COTTON CLOSED HIGHER.

 

Thirteen Points Up Said to Be

Due to Shorts.

 

    The cotton market closed thirteen points up Saturday.

    The slight advance is said to be due to shorts in the eastern markets around end of the month.

    Good cotton was worth around 11 cents in Marlin Saturday.

    There were but very few bales on the market.  What was offered at prevailing prices was bought and the cash paid for same.

    Two hundred bales were bought at Otto Friday for Weld & Neville.
