form my opinion from my long experience
In the bustness. and from my knowledg.
OF the great number OF breeding cattle that
nave been required to supply the demand
IN our markets for the past i've years or
L ore There should be no necessity. for
US TO be forced to guess at such matters.
II the cotton merchant could not esu-
mate the available supply of cotton within

You saw cotton sell at 4 cents per pound
last year and at cents this.
What was the cause of this enormous
advance? Do you suppose 1t was mere
chance, boom In cotton. as II were?
Not bit of It. The law CT supply and
demand justified the advance and tho
Gotten merchants were compelled to pay It.
III the supply Of cotton Is again reduced

In price, and. on the other hand. II the
supply should be increased very largely

It Is Of cotton.
Put, II IL believed by some that, this
law OF supply and demand does not orer-
ate the same In cattle as II ioes In other
products. They have arrived at this opin-
| ion from the fact that they have seen
| high prices paid In Chicago, when the
| shipments Of cattle were very large, and
! low prices when the shipments wee very
| small / will admit there IS some reason
