This is the information received in

This news will be received with
genuine sorrow In Sherman and other

Until Internal.disorders lli England

Rountree A Bon, cotton exporter* of
thla city.
Two hundred out of 240 mills In the
Oldham dlatrlct In England, which are
Targe consumers of American cotton,
are closed down because of the«coal
strike situation there, Mr. Bouatree
learns in a letter received Wednesday
from TuckiUss, Carr k Cv., at Liver-
IxxH, British firm for which hi* firm
buys. It is this closing down of the,
English mills and the slackening of
demand from this source that has cre-
ated the present decline -. In prlcees,
says Mr. Itountree, who strongly urges,
farmers of this section to store their
cotton and hold It for better demand
ami prices, rather than dump it on
the market at the prices which It
brings at the prosent time.
Under date of Aug. 10, Mr, Iloun-
tree had Inh>ii advised In a letter from
bis English "correspondent that "re-
ports from Manchester Indicate a
slack piarket, and 'looking on' policy
adopted in all sections." "We think,
however," the firm wrote, "that there
is a large business waiting to be done,
and that this will materialise, once
stable prices for rsw cotton arc more
or less assured." Till* was followed,
however, by the letter Of Sept. 22.
