COTTON LETTER
il'nrnlslwd by MacDowell & Co.)
New Orleans. Sept. 23.?The re?
duction of 33 per cent in cotton goods
by the Amoseka,? cid ton mills. Fall
Ittyee. developed bearish sentiment in
the cotton market this morning. ,
Tlie lowering ?f values for cotton
goods cgn only result in more buying
by the trade and public thereby In?
creasing consumption of rn\v cotton.
Press advices to effect that a grad?
ual return to the law of supply and
demand as a governing Influence over
prices, and the end of war < barges
for necessary commodities was pre?
dicted by government officials in ex?
plaining the government's attitude on
credit extensiojt and that the return
to neatly i.ornuil or pre-war condi?
tions l#net far distant.
This may be true as regards com?
modities other than cotton, the pro
duetion and imports of w hich is larger
than for several years past and v. lie
the present indratid cotton crop Is
about one million bales larger than
one year ago, the fact that tin carry?
over of spinnable cotton into this sea
on u i on., mil ion h,i !? i smallei til.in
the surplus of the previous season is
not to be overlooked
Therefore. Insofar Si the indicated
supply of American cotton is concern?
ed this season, prospt'cts are for about
the same suityly as prevailed last sea?
son, which *was' Insufficient to keep
values from reselling the highest lev?
els In 60 years.
Because of the periodical reiteration
by government officials that commod?
ity prices are due to decline to pre?
war levels, it is necessary to keep the
facts betoi .? t ht I i .ob ? lira' sou I,
ern staple is involved, consequently
we have made n. of tin !? aillie once
inoi ?
Private monthly returns point to
a smalb i- crop than the government
predicted last month when 0 yield of I
IS.Ttt.etl Vile? was for- C teted. Two I
reports issued today estimate the
probable yield, St r:.2oo.iino and 12.,
300.000 respectitaly, cue of which e
