THURSDAY, SEPT. 1, 1921 The following letter will be read with interest by farmers with cotton to sell: Aug. 25, 1921. Deaj Sir: Seven years of subnormal consumption of cotton goods has created a scarcity that more than offsets the world's reduced buying power; coupled with the fact that if the^ same sum of money were expended during the coming year as was spent by the ultimate consumer during the past twelve months, present prices Avould furnish a demand for more raw cotton than would be obtainable. This, in our judgment, solves the consumption problem which is now agitating converter' and retailers and tends to a stability for the prices of couon goocis. Some of the larger converters have this week disclosed their attitude by placing orders at top prices as far ahead as the mflLs will accept. Mill stocks of raw cotton in America and abroad are down to a minimum and regardless of what may be feared for the general, financial situation, the mills will be compelled to buy steadily, even though they continue upon a hand to mouth basis. The new crop promises to be so small that the farmer is practically assured of a steady demand for his cotton in sufficient volume to equal the movement of the new crop cotton to market during the period of the heaviest movement. With the statical position becoming stronger as the season progresses, we do not concur in the generally expressed belief that the new crop will prove a weight. Mill takings are about 2f> per cent greater than last year despite the strained financial situation. While this indicates' a consumption several million hales beyond pre-war stand.ards, it also indicates a c^rry-over at the end of the present season, which will allow the mills to barely get through comfortably to the next year's supply. ' The reason a partial paralysis of production exists in the chief industrial nations, is not because the world has no need for commodities, but simply because they cannot be produced at a price which consumers are able to pay. The reason is not in the cost\of raw material, but in the cost of manufacture. Ilight standards of life disappear in the imperative necessity to . live?and workers must produce to live. All of this has an obvious relation to the world's situation today. When labor decides to do a fair day's work for a fair day's pay, the wheels of commerce will again.function. Building will become active, traffic will be heavy, pay rolls will increase, confidence will be restored and there will be the ability to buy, and the capacity for cheaper production enlarged. ? Tha' the tide has turned strongly in this direction, there' is abundant evidence ' both in American and , iiuroau.. rtr.fieiier spirit exists between . employers ami workmen ami there- "is a better outlook in the industrial world than has obtained for a long time. The news of yesterday was all constructive. Manchester reported activity in cloths. .Silver was higher. .Cables reported the textile trades in Germany. Austria, Czccho-Slovakin, .Finland.'Spain and Holland as much Improved. The French. Government will heln the textile indusfries in the devastated regions. North Carolina cotton strikes have ended and the troops have boon withdrawn. Fall River sales are increasing decidedly. Retailer's stocks are low. We reiterate our advice to our Southern fripnds, to market their cottop with deliberation, here is no occasion for haste and as the season progresses, it will bp disclosed that, ^cofrton is in a strong nosition. It is imperative for the welfare of the ' wotfd that the South should next year raise a large cron. and it is oh.. yious that a price, not below 15c. basis middling, should he obtained for the * present sunply. i Yours very truly, "r.'T * J.
