SOME GOOD REASONS. WHY THE COTTON ACREAGE Kliorid) HE REDUCED. A Mg Crop This Yoni' Montis Elvo Oonf Coll?n aiMl Haid Times For the South. Tho following circular letter has been sont out hy Mr. J. A. Taylor, president of tho National Gimlet's assoc in Hon: Cotton has reached tho lowest,point since Jan. I, 1903, except from No vember to May of the big crop .'car of 1904-0.r>, when it sold two centb per pound lower than tills. What' bas caused this decline of three cents per 'mund in spite of (he fart "that the cotton crop of the world ls about 4,600,00 short of last year's crop? Tho only answer Hint I can lind ia "Luck of Confidence." The rotifer is not buying except ns he nevis the goods, the jobber is doing th osante, consequently the mills have no orders ahead, while last year, and fo ? sev eral years past, they have bau o: dorn boo'ked from three lo six months iu advance. What causes this lack of confi dence? They are afraid we will raise a bumper crop of cotton again this year. Why are they afraid of a large crop? They look ut the past. In 100n we bad a short ero)) and good prices, which was followed by a large acreage ?tad good seasons and a hum per crop. The next year. I OOfi-OC, we had a short crop and good prices, which was again followed by a large acroage und a bumper crop. Had it not been for the September storm in Um Mississippi valley and the exceptionally good trade the mar ked would probably have gone io eight ce??s or under for Hie crop. Wo got a good average price for the good gradea in Ibo Ct'Op, and a large acre age was s? t asine for cotton last sim son, but owing to th ewes (her dur ing planting time tue acreage was out some and crop poor in Texas and Louisiana enabled up to gel a good price for Hie most ol this crop. A month ago every indication was that we would have a large tic ron go this season, and the people did tun care to place heavy orders for cot ton goods, knowing that with a large acreage and fair season we would produce more cotton than (be world needed and the price of cotton goods .?eed hn?d be a moderate crop raise,! mis year and we will have Hie old linn activ ity in tho cotton trade. Jobbers will place their orders ahead io enable thom to suppl) theil' Made and the milla will contract in advance for supplies of cotton and Hie market will advance much faster (lian il has declined. The result will be thal you will inarkof a ?roi) of lt,GOO,000. If the weather conditions should be unfav orable for the gro.ving crop and it ?mould turn oui ti million bales les.1 it would sell for 15 cents and bring a total of nearly $800.000.000 and add lo this the value of tho iced Cl'opi (hat <an be grown ort the ncrcagi intended for cotton and it will give us another $50,000.000. Suppose thal you plant the sam! acreage as last year and with favor able weather we would likely maki anyway 13,000,000, possibly more What' would the price he under tin present trade conditions? Not ovui ?in overage ol 8 tents pei pound and persaps lower. Saj th il I ii averaged $10 per bale thc crop would |>rt hf $520,000,000; at loasl $300,000 (nil loss to Ibo south.
