RIVERS DISCUSSES"
. 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/'
