My Dear Sir: Yoi:rs of the Gth ins:, to hand and no apologie3 are necessary for asking my advice auout cotton; I am always ready to >ro wliat I can to help the price of cotton. The report of the government shows a very short crop and it is my op'nio^ ' that the crop in this State has detiorate3 pi lo-st 1." per crnt. since the data for the government report was .con-piled. There is undoubtedly a concerted effort to put the price o! cotton down for speculative purposes, it is possible that thr debacre in Russia has a depressive effect as it length nns ti e war. This would not account however, for the tremendous decline which is occurring. Cotton may gc lower. It will certainly go Gown sc low that farmers will, refuse :o sell before it goes much higher. I have ' " nltimnfA h 12" rjrC&t COR nu l? lice ia me ?w price for cotton. The spinners car pay 35 cents a pound for cotton anc then make more money out of It thai the farmer can growing it at 35 centi a pornd. I was North last week anc I know of a merchant who ha<l an un exp red contract for a certain grad< of cloth at 20 centa a yard and was ; required to pav 25 cents for a renew I i al of control. I investigated tHi number of pounds of cotton (tatinj , into account the loss from waste) rc [ ">uirtd to mate this clots and roun< that fh^ cott?n in the -cloth vaa sen iag approximately at $2 a pound. Tha , government fixed the 'minimum prlo .'or wheat and other food products an* this bag a tendency to drive apecuia tion to cotton. With cotton at 2! cents to 27 cents a pound the ?cl8n tific thing for speculators to do w& ? ( to depress the price and then bur 1 when they get it as low as they can , When they reach the k>w point m: prediction is that you will see a bul movement which will exceed anythin; ( ever witnessed, unless the governmen floes fix a minimum price fcr cottor We have made this crop on a 25 cen ( Vasi3 and the South will not make an; , c-Uar money unless they do sell th ;:iuy iui zo fcut.-}. it 10 an IU IU I hands of the farmers, of course; i they are foolish enough to sell beloi , the cost of production they hare n-: one to blaine except themselves.
