r r ? MANUFACTURERS INTERESTED IN HIGHER PRICE COTTON. W illing: to Cooperate With the Farmer for Belter Prices.?Prefer Higher ^ ' Prices Says Prominent 3Lill / Man. W * ? y J March 15, ]919. | Air. E. H. Au 11, Editor. 1 Herald and News ^ Motvh** S C. Dear Mr. Anil:? IK Your editorial in the last issue of A The Herald and News in reference to the cotton situation is, if 1 have been informed correctly, misleading to the farmers, as well as an injustice to Wk / thp rnttnn manufacturers,' whx'ch 1 V feel sure is unintentional on your f part, however. HtTV Just a few days ago, I had the ^pleasure of discussing this situation with a prominent manufacturer and banker of Newberry county, who had rjuSt returned from the East. y ou speak of the bearish attitude' of the cotton manufacturer, white this man. ufacturer infoimed me that the cotton mill officials are as interested in the advance of cotton as any other business men. The* cotton mills to^ day* are making goods out of cotton that cost them 30 cents a pound and r above. Every bale of cloth they sal! at the/present time is sold at a loss, and as the Eastern bankers are not \ in j^yor of loaning the South rn man. mfacturer money for speculation, tha;. *s the holding of the goods for future high prices, every day the mills operate' they are losing money, provided they are notjtortunate enougu to u??f enough money to hold their goods for higher prices. It seems that the Eastern banker* think that every litre of business that -was enabled to make vast profits on I account of the wa% should now liquiw~* date and take their losses instead [ . ^>f retiring their outputs until prices U# advance, thereby creating a depresm . sion in all lines of business. They -even think the Southern farmer | should sell his cotton, and take his losses, because of the fight made on L . price-fixing through the Southern |k representatives 4n congress, as well \ as because the Southern farmer had ^ a chance to sell his cotton above 30 Js \f cents. Conditions were not favorable * 'TV to the local farmer, as the majority \of his; crop was not marketable* when L bigtt prices were obtainable, t Every line of business in the South is iirtuU accord with the -holding and acreage reduction movement, and is I co-operating with the farmer to the fullest extent. The fight is practical Lly won, and six months from now, the South will have more money than it has ever had. The Southern banker fis really doing more to make the folding movement a success, and de ^Jferves more credit than any other r business, but every business can cooperate with the banker in conserving credit, thereby doing *ts "bit." This is the substance of the inform^ion gained from one of Newberry county's leading manufacturers and bankers, and I feel sure you will be glad that you were mistaken as to the attitude of the cotton manufacturer, and will be glad to know that he is also interested in the advance and not decline of the price of cotton.
