A'ashington, August 4.?Condi11s that confront the South in I idling the 191.1 cotton crop and ( conditions a year ago are consted by \\\ P. G. Harding, of the eral reserve board, in the current ue of the Federal Reserve Bulle. The position of cotton today is ch stronger and financial and ler conditions are much better m a year ago, in Mr. Hardiirg's nion. and if the people of the ith will not weaken their position . unwise action." they have little fear. "The cotton tragedy of 1914," s Mr. Harding, "will be succeedin 191.1 by nothing more serious in a drama." Mr. Harding warns > South in its desire to see a broad rket established for cotton to do hing to embarrass President Wili in his conduct of international n're "If should be remembered." s .Mr. Harding,' "that the presilt owes k higher duty to the South, the whole country and to manid at this juncture than the esilishment of cotton values. Seri3 complications between this coun and any great foreign power cernly would not enhance cotton lues." ^ A.fter comparing conditions affect; the market this year and last. . Harding says: Comparison of Conditions. "Under the most adverse condins conceivable, with demoralizan in every money market, with jh interest rates, with emergency rency being issued daily in large lume, with enormous gold ship-1 nts abroad, with crippled shipping ilities, without adequate insurance Mection and with ocean freights ee to five times normal, we began August, 1914, to market a crop of irly 17,000,000 bales of cotton, tancial institutions, already hard issed, were unable and unwilling make advances on cotton. In adion to this the Southern farmers, 0 have this year planted record;aking food crops, were faced with deficiency in home-raised foodffs, and were in many cases forcto sell cotton to pay off pressing lebtedness and to secure adequate >d supplies." attention is called to the fact that > high prices for cotton now preling in Germany and Russia, about rty cents a pound, will attract cot1 to those countries in spite of ap ently insurmountable obstacles, it as high prices paid for cotton oad during the civil war made ckade-running a steady business. Funds are Ample, rhere seems to be no question that pie funds can be obtained to flace in a normal way a much larger ume of cotton than was taken care last year, and that even if Gerny and Austria-Hungary should be L'ea LU suspcuu iuaiiuiatiuiiii{, su- | ;ly, statistics show that the mills the United States, Great Britain, lin, Russia. Italy, Japan, China 1 India have spindles sufficient to torb every bale of cotton that is sly to be cultivated. 'It should be noted," says Mr. rding, "that the reduction- in lerican cotton acreage this yeai ounts to more than 5,000,000 es, and that Egypt and India have 0 made radical reductions in cotacreage. It is probable that the rld's cotton crop, based on an ^rage yield per acre, will be about 00,000 bales less than last year. 'Cotton, unlike grain, is a comditv the market value of which deciates in time of war, and the ith as a producer of that comdity has suffered. The actual position of cotton, howr, is so much stronger than was case a year ago, the financial and er conditions are so very much re favorable that there can be no ibt that if the South will keep cool 1 u-itl pofmin frnrn nierelv weak ng its own position by unwise ac1 the present nervousness regardthe market for the growing crop 1 soon disappear. 'Even in the face of all the adse conditions during the last dve months ihe average price of ton has been about what might e been expected for a 17.000,000 e crop had there been no war, and re is every reason to believe that average price of cotton during the :t twelve months will be higher. * real question is: Will the Sourn merchants and Southern bankand all others interested in Sourn trade, cooperate in securing for cotton producer the benefit of s average price, and will the cot- J producers themselves do their I t?
