The price of cotton is now 80
cents dcarer than last year, OF cents
dcnrer than in 1894. and 1.65 cents
cheaper than in 1898 for March con-
tracts.
The amount Of cotton that has been
marketed from September 1st to Jan
uary l -four months) for the cotton
years mentioned below was as follows
1896, 1881, $40 bales; 1895. G,99t, ,6?3
bales; 1894, 5, i6G, 092 bales; 1898, A.
T90,455 bales. The amount, there
fore, that has como into sight this
year to January lst is 2,062, SOB bales
less than last year, 534. 222 bales less
than in 1894 and 141 ,4i5 bales more
than in 1899.
The average percentage CT the total
crop marketed by January for the
past ten years has been -. - per cent.
and if the 1921 $40 bales that has
come into sight to january / should
prove to he G2.l2 per cent. of this
crop the actual total crop tor 1S95-'9G
would be G,SlO, ,O93 bules.
Our advices from all the Southern
States continue to report rapid ship
ment OF cotton to market, ana that
the amount remaining in the hands of
planters, is less than for many years ut
like date.
Since November 30, the date of our
last circular letter, the price of cotton
has declined about 60 points, nearly
half of which has been recovered.
In fact of the apprehension of war
with England, which caused panic
and heavy depreciation in securities of
ali kinds, and other adverse Influences,
We think the price of cotton held UP
remarkably we'll. Nothing but n
widespread opinion that cotton was
cheap ut current prices and the in
hcrent strength of its statistical posi-
tion could have supported it against
the violent disturbances in the none
tnry world. Holiday receipts were
unexpectedly large nud thai alone
might have induced more than half Of
the decline that occurred.
The holders of cotton have cause to
congratulate themselves on the way it
has stood the storm, and now that
Americans far and wide have voiced
their endorsement of the President y
patriotic and dignifcd message, and
the recent scare III speculative and
financial circles seems to have been
without any adequate cause, the indi-
cations are that prices for cotton and
business generally viii improve ma
ter;ally with the new year.
