COMPARISON OF PRIMARY MARKETS IN THE PIEDMONT SECTION. 



A comparison of the average prices paid for the same grades of 

 cotton on the same dates at certain towns in the Piedmont section is 

 given in Table IV. 



Attention is called to the fact that with the exception of Salisbury 

 as compared with Statesville the markets compared as to prices in 

 direct ratio to their average length of staple. A possible explana- 

 tion of this exception is that there are supply merchants who buy 

 cotton at Salisbury, while such is not the case at Statesville.
