%
President Harvie Jordan Ap- (
peals to them to Market
Cotton Slowly.
The recent meeting of the
executive committee ?t the
Southern Cotton association held n
at llot Springs, Ark., fixing the a
minimum price on cotton basis p
middling, at interior points at a
10 cents is as low a price as any t
farmer could be asked or advis- v
ed to hold his cotton. Ten cents- ^
per pound is practically the *
bread and meat line and cotton r
sold below that figure, however ^
slight, barely represents the ^
cost ot production.
There is no necessity and no r
kind of sensible reasoning why n
the South should sacritice t he
present maturing crop of cotton f<
at any price under 10 cents pei tl
pound. There is no good rea- a
hoii whv this croo should soil lot
less than that, of the last year.
which averaged a little over 11 *
cts. per pound at the ports. Since
Sept. 1,1904, to Sept. 1, 1900, .j
there have come into sight 25,- tj
500,000 bales of cotton, and ol t]
this enormous amount, all had rt
been practically consumed except si
about 800,000 bales. t<
The past two years, showing A
the largest production both c
years in tbe history of our cot
ton production, sold at an aver- I
age price ot 10 cents per pound,
or the grand total of $1,250,000,.
000. With the consumption of
these two unprecedented crops
selling at an average ol 10 cents, I
we ?shll find the demand for
finished goods enormous "and
the lull capacity of the mills un- i
able to supply the trade at verj* t
high prices (or manufacture. *
Since August 1, heavy and 1
continuous deterioration lias
taken place in the fruitage ot 6
n
the crop over the entire belt. ^
Tbe splendid expectations of an a
unusually large yield, ho bright l0
a month ago, have now dwindled t
to anticipations of only a normal c
yield. To meet t he conditions s
which oonfront t he present time, 1
there is hut one thing to do, and IJ
that is to sell the crop slowly a
and refuse to market the staple 6
rapidly during the next three
months. Every farmer who
can do so should store and hold
i n
his crop oil ihe market until I
tne price ??i 1 u cents ai least is|p
offered. The present price of A
cot'on is far below the true (.
alue ol the',staple and the people p
are hereby appealed to not toi<'
submit to such an unwarranted M
t
sacrifice ol the prodact of their! 1
labor, Prices are sure to adjust j
themselves te higher levels ^
when the trade at large begin* 11
to fully realize the extent ot tho,^
present and recent henv.v del eric. ^
ration in the crop all over tbe
i P
ce'ton belt. I>t
