AN EGG WITH A TAIL Col.

SPRING'S COTTON LETTER In reviewing the cotton situation for the past fortnight, we are impressed with the Government report issued on July 2nd showing a condition of 70.7 per cent, or an improvement during the month of 8.3 per cent which was the greatest gain that any crop has made during the June period since 1874. The acreage figures were also slightly higher than the revised estimate of last year and therefore, dissappointing to those bullishly inclined. Since the report was made up, namely: June 25th, continued improvement has been shown by private advices and it may be well to note that the" ten-year average for July 25th (the August report) is 75.6 per cent or only 4.9 per cent higher than the condition report as of June 25th this. year. Should continued improvement occur and the ten-year average be equalled by the npxt. Government. fifrnres. we would have better indications forecasted than at any time since 1914, ?n which year on an average two million larger than this year, a yield of 15,136,000 bales was harvested. ? Warnings against o^er-ex}ten'sion of credits by the Federal Reserve Bank are still frequent, demand for spot cotton remains dormant, and pessimism still exists in textile lines. On the other hand, history tells us that the crop is now approaching its most critical period, the weevil has spiv^jd from Texas to the Atlantic Ocean and from Florida to center qi;. South Carolina. The ravages of this insect cannot be prophesied. The crop is late, thereby making it more vulnerable to the late hatching of this pest. Wet weather will increase the weevil and drought conditions . may be more than bad to the sappy plants. At no time since 1911, has the August Condition Report been higher than the July report. While public interest is small the market is technically strong. High grade cotton is scarce and any reUval in demand for; cloth might easily cause heavy buying on the part of the mills, which would naturally provide for their future orders by heavy purchases on the Exchanges. The political situation is particularly fortunate from the standpoint of business men; both Presidential candidates being able and conservative, worthy and well i:*: ~ ~ 3 quaimeu cinu iiiiuu^u pa&t puunt i service, duly and truly prepared to fulfill the great duties that will devolve on one or the other. For the near future, the market will be dominated by weather from day to day, but as many believe that the cost of producing this years crop will be in the vicinity of 30 cents, the January, March and! i May positions appear more desirable and conservative than the n?ar premium months. Cotton Seed Oil The recent severe decline in Cotton Seed Oil was partly caused by a bad break in the lard market. Three unfavorable developments have lent their influence to the decline in oil during the past week. First, the severe break in Oriental oils, due to the financial situation in Japan; second, the large stocks of lard in BAimhm onH +Vi?rH +)lt> limiSllfll ( Cilia uvum/i j f Uitu v* , ?..v 'amount of refined oil on hand, (amounting to 1,033,000 pounds more than at the corresponding time last year. , It might 'be noted that stocks of crude oil are less than last year but 'that the refiners are holders of increased stock at the present time. Liquidation has placed the future market in a strong technical position, contracts being in the hands of those able to protect them and from now on the fluctuations of the market will ibe based very largely upon demand. Cotton Seed Oil contracts may decline further but in view of its recent break we feel that the careful consideration of purchases around present levels and on further weakness is advisable.
