tors. Try to Effect Sales.
St. Matthews, June 7.--J. Skottowe
Wannamaker, president of the Amerl
can Cotton Association, in a statement
issued here this afternoon declared
that "the same bear speculators who
sold an enormous amount of cotton
for July and October delivery with
the full expectation of depressing the
price of cotton to a starvation point
that is. around 12 1-2 cents per pound
basis middling-are tho people who
are today breaking the cotton mar
ket." le declared that "their only
bopes of saving themselves a tremen
dous loss is to frighten the holders
of spot Cotton into selling their cot
ton." Ie declared that if they sue
Ceed it will prove truly a (alallity.
.I wish," said Mi. Wannamaker in
Ihis statement, "that I could write all
that I know concernin.? the inside

that this woul be for the best. Some

not only a seolnsation but a scanedIaI.
When the curtain is pulled aside and
the public is permit ted to g(I a clear

and how thle price va- desIse)(.(d and
IIi initated since 191 , the result will
he a complete shock.
"Political ecolonmist:'. .1r'te agreed
that the Irice of colmodeities will rise
or fall as the valuii of moiney is in
cr(ased or diminished. This econolie
law is unalterable ani! unchiangeable.
On the bazis of currency iiilliatioll. the
p8c'c of cotton today wotld he as fol
lows: In 191 1 the end of the fiscal year
showd under the old natiolal bank
ing system a gold rieserve of about
$u00. 1-1.000. The last.-eport from IIe
federal reserve system I- about $1.,00,
tcf.11(0. This is an ine"ease on a ratio
of three to one. On th hasis of car

close of July, If the mills do not con-.
sume 3,000,000 bales within litis period
it means there wil! be great suffering
on account of the undersupply and
the need for cotton goods.
"Spot cotton in lar.:Q quantities Is
being shipped to Europe and just how
much may be shipped abroad during
the next three months is only a ques
tion of available tonnage and a speedy
acceptance of peace !-onditions, and
the completion of the export corpora
tion to furnish credit'-. If the peace
conditions are aecepted. !be tonnage
supplied and credit. furnisihed, E'urope
vill take alone an amount of colton
in excess of tie amouint in the Ameri
can and Iuropean milk."
