This applies to everything ex cept cotton. Just watch theMinan- cial news during the month* o' Sept ember, October and November and see tho gold exporta :.-om Paris and London to New York. This vast, hoard of gold is the annual contribu tion of the cotton planters of the South to Wall Stree;—a potest en if demanded, much of it consists in mere transfers of credit of the books of a bank, through the use of checks and drafts. In spite rf this, however, the large amount is such a drain upon even credit money that -the "Crop moving” period Is always one of stringency, and would cause an annual money panic, if tt were not tii£t the contraction produces an ac celeration in the speerf which money with the downward tendency in the pri c of cotton awakens the spirit of speculation and tne buying of fic titious cotton steadies the market for the actual cotton.

Thus it will be seen that I have reicived say, seven and one-half cents per pound for Cotton during the three moniiis when I was compelled to sell. The average price is ten cents and twelve-one-half cents the maximum price, which I would raceive later when normal money conditions bold away.
