C., WEDNESDAY WH Y COTTON IS LOW. Col. A'fred 11. Sliepperson (live! Some Interesting Facts. in an article upon !he subject in the current number of Textih America, Colonel Alfred II. Shop person, of New York, the cottoi expert, undertakes to ex pi air why cotton has not advanced The reason tor the decline Iron July-September prices, he says was the fact that tlie higher price: which obtained during and be tween these months was purely speculative, and on many occa sions the quotations were meieh nominal. Meantime, cotton clothi were selling at 5 9-19 cents pe pound, being the lowest lor .">( years. It has been found iin possible to force the price o manufactured goods up to j parity with cotton at 8 cents pe pound, hence the manufacturer: have not gone into the marke for more than immediate neces sary supplies. In some instances indeed, the mills have been work ing on short hours, for the ven reason that raw cotton was rela tively too high for the manufac lured products. Colonel Shepperson concludes however, that prices have no reached a level at which manu tacturers can buy at a profit hence he looks for more purchase by them. lie is also of tin opinion, from Southern advice received by him, that the cro] will be much short of the forme estimates by experts, and tha the manufacturers wlm i?n int. .. ?W px/ "??" the market now will get thei stocks about as cheap as they cai be had this season. Should ai early frost come along the pric< would go up "by heaps am bounds,*' Colonel Sheppersoi says, and the manufacturer would be left out in the cold "Those who entertain the idei that prices will fall to the figure of 1894-'95," he says, "are hug . ? 1 1 "" King u vain delusion. The eon (litions were essentially different and I never again expect to set middling cotton sell in New Yorl for 5 9-16 cents, which was tin price in November, 1 sb5.'' Ku the early frost has not come, am it is too late for it to come now A?ot ice. All parties indebted to us, pb peeially those whom wo have car ried over from last year and long er, must come forward and setth at once as no farther notice wll be given.
