Houston. thursday, APcct''oe' ~
Spot cotton is quoted In Houston today
at csc for middlng. against sac on tnis
day last year. The justification FOR TINS
difference of Iac IS the belief that the
1861 United States crop will amount 10
fully s0oo.eN bales. according TO the specu-
lators who have forced prices down. Las,
September. when I was believed ny tne
trade tina, the crop would not be greater
than 75eo,U 900 bales, the price OF iniadnhs
in Houston went TO 3-l6c. Just about
that time the president OF the American
Cotton Growers association .ssued
lengthy letter advising farmers to market
Their cotton slowly and predicting thai
prices would 70 much higher as the sea-
.oa progressed. Naturally bis opinion WAS
based upon the belief that the drouth had
cut down the Yield. ard that. with small
visible supply left from las; season, there
was a probability OF cotton famine be-
fore the mex, crop came upon the market.
The day after this letter was issued the
commercial department of The Post took
occasion 10 state tina: such adv co was
both III timed ana unnecessary that tho
farmer was the bgst Judge Of his asAty
10 hold cotton. that holding the staple for
an advance seldom proved financial sac

Ell to the good prce cotton was thc.. COM
