Land Safely t When a man makes one dollar and escapes losing nine others, he can figj, ure he is just ten dollars better off ( This is exactly what we try our best to help our customers accomplish ev^ cry week. Our last week's market letter was delivered last Monday. Wc ended it with these words: *'In thi event a fair Sized reaction takes placi I early next week, we urge that pur' chases be made on a scale dow iward.' On that very day cotton b oke 6( points. Three days later it was bacl ^ up over 100 points. Our price predic ( tions have been just th.s reli ible foi two years now. October sold Jowl tc 21.70 last Monday. Thursday it was T 22.84. p. We still have excellent rea .ons foi . believing cotton is e entanlly goin* s even above 25c?could almost'p >v? j( it if we had the space, bul we ate i . little fearful of the next three or foui days because we are beginning to h ivi n too much company in this scif-sntru belief. We run faster than a fri/ht. . encd Ford when we find the ma jo "itj (] agreeing with us. We just w n't h ivi it that's all! When cotton was be tween 15c and 20c everyone seemec n dead set agin us. We were alone an ? lonely in our views?but now tha i prices are up more than 700 p ?':nt! ? | most everyone seems to be trying ti (j climb on our band wagon. We ar< (1 getting suspicious! Too much com pany for one thing. Have a caie? have a care! The July option, we firmlv believe will expire in a perfect blaze of gh>r> ?tho "shorts" are going to have the juice squeezed out of them. This will take the courage out of the professional benrs and make them timid about attempting a wholesale raid or the other months. However, the whole market could easily sell off from this level with very little effort, in fact, a fair sized reaction, or shake-out, would really prove technically hea'thy for the market. Now, understand us, we are not predicting any big or continued decline, but we do urge extreme coution for a few days. In any event don't reach for the top. Wait! We started talking about the boll weevil long before the frost was out of the ground. Now, most everyone knows that over 70 per cent of the cotton belt is infested with this pesky pest. Yes, and from this time on he is going to play haVbc, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Were it not for him the South would raise more cotton this year than even the most tabid bear even suspects. . . . After a careful research today we found that only three or three times in the last 50 years has the final crop been larger than the government's first I estimate. And this is sure to prove one of those kind of years. The govI crnment's first estimate indicated 11,. . lAAAAA .4- .4 -4 4 - 4^4 A^V 4^4 4^4 A^a A^A A^A A^A A^A A^A A^A 4^4 J ORD HFI 065,000 bales. WaJteh now and see if it is not much neared to 12,000,000 bales. But don't worry about It! The u world will easily gobble up this I amount in short order and cry for c more at most any price. j, The American consumption for the last 11 months is close to 6,000,000 bales. Think what this means in the face of serious mill, coal and railroad ' strikes, to say nothing about the p ' messy affairs abroad. Why, do yo\|, ^ i realize that if everything was run- p - ning smoothly throughou: the world ^ ' the chances are you would have to ) buy cotton in little dabs at some ; jewelry store instead of by the bdle. ^ No, it would not surprise us one bit ^ r to see prices sag between now and > next Tuesday or Wednesday, but in g ? the long run they will be so high the v present level will look low indeed, p f This one time the South is going to , make a little spare change, the direful r . predictions of the croakers notwith- j t standing. A 12,((00,000 bale crop at ^ r from 22c to 30c per pound is a whole ? lot better than one of between 14,- j , 000,000 and 15,000,000 bales under 10c. Figure it out yourself and see what it means to the entire South. . Oliver & Houghton.

The driver of an automobile, as he' its at the steering wheel, has a clear j iew ahead and ought to be able to rotect his passengers from danger t the railroad grade crossing. The isk of being killed by a train of cars } something we all learned in chilood days. There should be no haphazard drivig across tracks. Any driver who ssumes that because trains run only t occasional intervals he is relieved f the necessity of being vigilant evry time he crosses the tracks, cerEiinly takes a big chance of being umb.red with the slain, r-..
