C., NOV. 24, 1920 The Advertiser will not make any prediction as to the price of cotton, but it Is certain that the supplies of cotton goods now on the market will be con sumeid sonie time and that it is equally certain that the cotton goods inanu facturers are not going to add to their sturplus supply if they can help it. With the surplus removed and demand again open up for cloth, the mills will again start full production and create a demand for our southern product. Something like this must occur in the course of a few months, after which the cotton market and all other staple markets should begin to improve. In the meantime the farmer 01r anyone plse who owes money at this time is helping himself as well as his fellow producers by facing the situation couragcously, playing fair with eredi tors and making conservative plans for the future. 4 * * GIVEi T H AN id Tl arraia of Thanksgiving Day again finds the nation delpressed in spirits.
