Wc stated at the timi' that the anticipated larg ' movement would cnn tiiuie to have a depressing effect on thc market, and until we reached a point where we could approximately estimate the supply, tin- pri e ol' rot ton was but a qucsl ion ol' '..senti ment/ Let il- now argue the posi tion from a very conservative stand point, and ask the question, Mo pres ent priers discount a 10,000,000 crop? i by which wc mean .-. commer cial crop). Kir.Sl wc have to deal with thc smallest visible and invisible sup ply l'or year- past which existed on th'- lirsi ul' September, indeed JO much so. th;.: even in America many mills had to st > i working for want ul' sup plies, a circumstance which ha- nof happened -im-c thc American war. ii Klimpe. Loth in K ngia nd and on : lie. Continent, lnany spinners were ham pored for want of cotton: in other words, the lotal visible and invisible supply was probably l,L\>ir,OIJIl less than mi thc 1st ol' September, IS!|4. Wc lake that seasnu a- a cfit erinn. for it wa- during thc carly part of thc Spring ol' IS!iii that we experienced very low price.-. Next wc must take thc requirements which wc gave in our last circular letter, vi/..: !l,; U0, iinit a- a minimum I'or thc present season, am! in order that stock-at thc mill- alni in thc various markets should conic up lo those of ordinary seasons 'even leaving iSSCt.nut of play) we i'.i-t -et aside out "I" the present crop at least I 00.( M ll I hales for ilia) purpose.

We have laid great stress in our last two circular letters on thc date of the frost and we have, a.- you will IM doubt have observed, made due allowance fur tin-' .-ame. but we repeat to you that whilst nu tlic oilier hand a line open fall such as we experienced in IS'.M-'.'.'j may add a great deal to the etop. il needs a favorable season pre viously t" make a line plant. We stale emphatically that thc yield per acre in 1 SOI-!..") was a phenomenalouc, from the tact that from the early stan to tile lin isl) there wa.- ample rain and sunshine; in lad a magnificent .'-'row ing season created a line plant followed by an extraordinary line and open fall and unusually late killing frost. < >u the other hand we experienced this season a bad and late start, and bat tled with drought, oil' and un, fruin one section to another, lt is quite true that we arc dealing with a larger acreage this season, but even with this it requires au exceptionally fine season to give us a yield of even" 10,000,000. Having said this much un the ques tion of supply and demand, it re main- fur you now to luok at the gen eral-conditions-of trade in so far as they ailed ihc price.
