COTTON SITUATION WAREHOUSE . COMMISSIONER TALKS OF PLANS TO RAISE PRICE OF STAPLE AND PROSPECTS IN FOREIGN TRADEFRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH EUROPE NECESSARY. J. Clifton Rivers, state warehouse commissioner, Monday gave out the following statement and observations on the cotton situation and his trip to New York several days ago: "I have been a^ked several times lately, since my trip to New York, to give to the public the information which was obtained at the cotton consultation meeting . at that time, and also my personal impressions regarding the future prices of spot cotton. It would certainly have appeared to the casual observer at the meeting that every interest concerned, growers, financiers, manufacturers, speculators and exporters, all of TirVi/vm nnra roTvrocantA/? araro -Q n v nuvut nv?v * v|/* vwvm?vmj nw?v * **<* ious for the prices to be higher-even going so far as to say that the higher the price of the raw product the more profit they made in dealing with the market, because of the greater volume of business that was done on an easy market over the kind which we have at present, which is very much restricted. "I was still further convinced that mv rxvtttion eoncerninic the market ! for cotton, which I have so often stated and which I gave out and was published in the early part of the fall of 1920, is correct. That is, until congress makes peace with the countries which we are tentatively at war with, and thereby establish mutual trade relations between the United States and the countries of Middle Europe, which are the largest export customers of this country in cotton; and until some basis is established whereby the rates of foreign exchange in relation to values of medium or currency are made nearer par than now, or at least nearer some equitable basis than at present we need not expect the volume of cotton exported to increase very perceptibly. "Io other words, cotton which is j bought from American dealers at a I low price in our money would cost the foreign dealer entirely too much in the medium or currency of the country to which it would be exported. These people are expecting the United States government to make peace with their countries and thereby increase the purchasing power of their money. Consequently they will not stock up on material which, when such peace As made, and mutual trade relations so established, would represent an inflated value; but rather they would buy from hand to mouth as their -immediate needs demand. This, of course, makes a slow restricted export demand. Our domestic trade is in very much the same condition on account of this foreign policy. Nobody knows or can calculate with any amount of accuracy what the price of cotton, either in its raw state or manufactured will be, so the cotton manufacturer in this country only buys raw cotton enough to keep his plant eoincr and for his near future needs. This unsettled condition has kept the bull speculator out of the markets, or restricted him In his operations. These things in my opinion, are why the price of cotton does not advance, and why it has been impossible to handle coton in any great amount since last September. "The things that would boost the price, in my opinion, are as I have said before the establishment of peaceful mutual trade relations, so that our coutry can deal with the countries, with which we are tentatively at war, which I hope to see consummated before long and the as surance to the cotton trade that a large crop this year will not be maaej.anci 10 my opinion, me easier financing, by reason of the change of policy, of the federal reserve bank concerning rediscount rates to aj standard, rather than a progressive rate, which has been the practice heretofore this esason. The extending of the time on acceptable agricul tural paper from six to 12 months will also assist. These items are being worked out now and I feel confident that they, upon their successful conclusion, will entirely alter the, whole situation/' : .it. r.
