COTTON SITUATION. 'al and Finacial World. it is true that there w - -a 1 drop in cotton quotations on y last, it is at the same time that the bears have really "not to stand upo.., '' as the old ing is, when it comes to any calm seientific analysis of the actual ton situation. n tile other hand, there is an rwielming mass of evidence go to show that while the consump demand for cotton is going to be ater than ever, the actual sup is going to be smaller. than in rs. When demand is greater than ply, hither prices are .inevitable. This is certain. although the bears are prone to lose sight of the fact. On Monday last the Census Bu reau issued a report showing that 7, 612,317 bales, counting round bales as half bales. had been ginned from t.he growth of 1909 to Nov. 1, .a' com pared with 8,191;557 bales for *1908. Round bales ineluded this -year are 109,665,' compared with 149,866 for 1908. Sea island, 54.352, compared with 45.479. for 1908. The report shows the following comparison of cotton gianed i1 the several,States up to Nov. 1. compared with the same date in 1908: State. 1909. 1908.

Mr. E. G. Scales.of Texas, who is a member of the bull pool which in eiudes James A. Patten, W. P. Brown and Frank B Hayne, says that he has not changed his opinion of the. oottor market as -a result of the break of the last few days. Prices , will g back he says, and ultimately cotton will go to 20 cents, "and there is mothing on earth to sfop it,'' he added. It is quite certain that the cottor ifarmers of the South are determinei: to leave no stone unturned in the ef fort to reach 20 cents cotton. They know that they have the game it their own hands if they only stant shoulder .to shoulder. The following letter, which has had a wide circula tion at the South, idicates somnething of the feeling existing there: Tupelo, Miss., Nov. 6, 1909. To the Farmers. Merchants an< Bankers of the South: Stop. thirnk and listen. Do yoi know what you are doing? You art For E Spraifls Sloan's Liniment is the best remedy for sprains and bruises. It quiets the pain at once, and can be applied to the tenderest part without hurting because it doesn't need to be rubbed-all you have to do is to lay it om lightly. - It is a powerful prepa ration and penetrates instantly relieves any infiammation and con gestion, and reduces the swelling.. Here's the Proof. Mr. L ROLAND, Bishop of Scran ton, Pa. says:-' "On the -7th of this present month, as I was leaving the building at noon for lunch, I slipped and fell, spraining my wrist. I returned in the afternoon, and at four o'clock I could not hold a pen cil in my hand. I returnell home later and purchased a bottle of Sloans and used it five or six times before I went to bed, and the next day I was able to go to work and use my hand as usual" Sloan's Liniment is an excellent anti septic and g er m killer--heals cuts, burns, wounds and contusions, and will draw the poison ' from sting of poi E E sonous insects. 25c.,50c. and $1.00 hore, cattle shee Dr. Earl S. Sloan, Bot., a s., . U.s.A. fli'oding the wor. With cotton. You are rushing cotton into the market and selling it ten minutes after it is ginned. The cotton States have already sold seven million bales of a. less than ten milion bale crop, in a period of two mouths, when you should have sold that much in seven months. How do you expect banks to pay for it, es pecially at $75 per bale? Did you know the spinners of the world were fighting you and that you are furn ishing them ammunition to fight you withl Did you know that .there were only three million bales more to come on the market? Do you know that for S these three million bales you can get 20 cents just as easily as 10 cents if you will wait! J What must we do? Do not sell a bale, Mr. Farmer for 60 days. Your nerchant and your banker will help you gladly. The merchant and buyer cannot hold. If you force him to buy from you, which you are now doing every day, he will soon be forced to ask the spinner what he will give for this cotton. Shame on you! Be men once t more and remember ihow you rallied around the flag in '61 and oommand-I ed the admiration of the orld. Do you know what it would mean if you did not sell a' bale for 60 P days It would stir the whole world. I Every country-England, Germaay, France, Spain, Russia, China, and Japan would be affected and buyers i hi these countries would burn up the cables.trying to buy cotton. e As a business proposition what would it cost you Where are your union warehouses? ir Storage for six months can be secured for 25c. per bale.' -If you have any pressing oblia tinsr to your bank and borrow $5.0 per bale and hold your cottn. If you do not do this cotton will go down until' you are through selling and you have sacrificed your cotton to the spinner and made the name Sou therner a byword and the Southern people the laughing stock of the world. t Tag every bale you have left aid t let it read "20c. or $100 per bale," i and if you do not sell any in 60 days t there will be five buyers for every bale at that price. ( -The mereihants mark their goods- a why not YOU? I am a resident of Lee County, t Mississippi, aid will lend every far: 2 mer in this county $50 on every C warehouse receipt for a bale of cot ton. Business is war. Cotton is the best t breastworks and- flags in the world. Rally 'round the flag and kill ev ery man who tries -to storm our: Ibreastworks. Yours for the South and the U. W. II. Armstronig. On 'Wednesday there was a small < sized panic among cotton shorts. Like < the mercury in the -thermometer on a< hot day, prices climbed 30 to 33 points, or $1.50 to $1.65 a bale. 1 There was the same intense excite jment and geat 'activity that have been witnessed in the local pit in .the at two or three weeks sinee the un loading of the bull pool for profits began. At Wednesday's high level the marker was u.p more -than five dol-I lars a bale since the bottom liguresj of Monday. It has sometimes taken ~ otton a year to advance to . the' same extent. The trump card of- the bull crowd is the remarkable strength of .the Southern spot markets. Despite the fac: that futures last week declined $5 a bale, there has been -no weaken- ]. ing by the Southern producers, ori any eagerness on their part to dis- 1 pose of their e.ot.ton. During the next few weeks there will be, of course," many flucttiations, but the bulls have the whip hand, a-nd they are as certain to put prices up to where they want them as day i to fol'ow night. The campaign is I: Ioe tha: means scores of millions ofi dollars o the South, and to the men who get on the right side of the mar-1 'ket. The spinners have begun to take on cotton, dry goods houses re-] port improvement and duck and yarn firm announce advances in their commodities. Interior receipts are de eidedly bullish. NOTICE.
