MAditor Tihe Advertiser: I feel impelled to give to the readers of your paper, . and more especially to the holding farimiers-' of cotton, a few facts and Ilgires regarding the present cottoli situation. I want at the )eginning to state that from what I am able to gather from ov er the cotton growing states, this hold ing movement Is general over the enl tire cotton hel. One has only to read the leading Comimercial newspapers to learn that this holding of cotton by the farmner is fagt coiimanding the at tentionl of the best busliness minds con nected with cotton in Its finiislied pro It has Ieeii but a few months ivi'i tle slightest talk of cessation of Ohe war1i was ielet'(ted by aii upward iiimP inl totton. Now that the armnistice has been signed, anid peace is assiur-ed to le world, it ap-pears that every avenue Iadi ng from tlhe product ton, of entooll feels that we have got to fall bak 1" pIe-war basis "over-ilight".

In ,order to make these spindles buzz, she imust get the raw Cotto(. The cotton farmer canl help thei out If they are willing to make up for the loss caused them in 1914, "en the farmer sacrificed all. In last week's Commerce and Finance, Theo. 11. Price predicts an early demand from Europe for the finl ished products from our American Mills. I hope he is right. The Ameri '.in mills need a good prol t for their produilts, pnd when they have good !Irofits they spend freely for the I geI cral weft'are for their employees. h'lierefo re, it seeis that tlie edfton in dustry of A mneriea, as we 'Is the cot lol falm'r, is abouit to revolve iito a 'period of great prosperity.
