Mr. Wannamaker says the offe was. declined "because the associ is opposed to any combine o even any apparent combine tha would even seem iri^the slightest de crree to indicate that they approve* of or wished to profit by profiteer ins: or any apparent violation of tin anti-trust laws. They will gladl; abide by the law of .supply and de "v: * mand, holding their cotton uuti this law is submitted to operation "We refused this offer, first, be cause prevailing prices are far be iow a just price based upon supplj and demand and the price of th( manufactured product. Second, be cause the holders can finance theii own cotton and receive the great advance in price which is certain due to the fact that we are facing a fainino in raw cotton. The market is already enormously oversold. Third, because the demand for American cotton will be at ( least 15,000,000 bales .and even ~ i , .should the government estimate of 11,000,000 bales - which every indication shows is 500,000 bales too high, should prove \correct, still there is a tremendous shortage. "Under these conditions I urge '?j. ' the members of the association to hold their spot cotton. In addition to this, as October cotton on the New York contract is far below the cost of production. I urge the producers throughout the South to buy the amount of cotton they would . , . make for October delivei'y, plant ' ^ their lands in feed and food crops, which will prove far more profitable and a better business proposition i Both our experts and Prof. John A Tqdd, the great English expert or* cotton show an enormous world shortage in the supply of a raw cot_ v ton before the 1920 crop becomes available regardless of the enforcement of the strictest economy. The absolute pressing world demand for cotton has been enormously increasejd as a result of the world war. In America alone 500,000 bales . are consumed annually in fabrics used in the manufacture of automobile tires. Master's Sale. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of Abbeville. CJburt of Common Pleas. E.
