H I[ FiA COTTON IS FORECAST BY MANY Threat of Famine Seen by Authorities by Time for Next Crop. The threats of a cotton famine is finding all sorts of conjecture about the future price of cotton and many authorities expect 30 cents cotton or perhaps more, -this iwas the subject of a cotton article in Thursday's- issue of the New York Journal of Commerce. The article stated that many of the best posted men on the cotton situa tion in /England and in this country are seriously concerned over the gros pect of inadequate suipplies of Ameri can cotton to meet the world's neds. 'The official September crop estima tion was 10,135,000 bales, although a .few of the more optimistic cotton men, it. wa-s. stated, hoped for ten and a half, million. bales this year. Other figures go to show that If Amerioa us, es 6,500,000 'bales and sho'uld Europe call for practically thie same amount that will mdan over 12,000,000 bales Wvill be in demand, according t9 the number of bales in sight, the demand will' .reduce the amount of American cotton in tahe -world to around 2,250, 000 bales -by August 1, 1923. Then, it continued the 1923 supply of cotton 'will- 4o1po .in with eiif 500,000 balek of uxspin'cotton on Uctober-1, 1923, this beiig 'the smallest reserve since Civil War times..- - plan6 ' i1d two ad 014 Tag :Iwijl biegin h~aendiat y. la Q;$tye - ~eoden Mids Sar b Ropo'4n,' e1ifa TheZin otored 6 the .f ae' hpnoe at Gray Ciurtp dar e bonl.'
