Hubbard Bros. & CO.'S Cotton Review.

New York, Nov. Hubbard Bros, &,
Co., in their market circular, say of cot
ton: 1.-THE feature of the week has been
the continued selling by disappointed hold
erS who bought cotton at about a cent a
pound higher, believing that the general
improvement in America would lead to
higher prices for the staple. They forgot
that the high price of breadstuffs and the
belief in a large crop would govern prices
rather than the home trade improvement.
Now, after a long decline, prices have
been reached which are below the CONNER
cial value of the staple. In other words,
with cotton selling IN the south at 41ac
for middling, and the planter obliged to
pay about NC pound for gathering the
crop, it ceases to be profitable to culti-
Vate cotton. OF course that does not do
away with the fact that the crop has
been raised and will be sold regardless of
price, but it does bear upon the present
position of the buyer who is obtaining
something which cannot be duplicated at
the same price.
Under such conditions traders at home
and abroad are waiting to buy on as low
a basis ass possible, and feel that they
need not be in any hurry as the present
demoralzed condition of the market will
enable them all to buy at the bottom.
They admit the strength of the price as
factor in inducing SpinnerS to lay in
large supply, but feel certain of a further
decline. They argue that the south has
thrown away its opportunity to control
prices, by raising a bumper crop when
only an average one was needed, to secure
highly profitable remuneration for its la
Dor, and that having done so, is evidence
that it will raise another large crop next
season as in 1891. They simply believe
the south will raise cotton whether it is
profitable or not. and that while it has
to be sold, any one is foolish to stand in
the way and own any cotton.
THAT was an excellent argument at &c
a pound higher, but one which does not
hold good on the present basis, as the
surplus, if the crop is a bumper one, must
be carried, and when it can be purchased
at less than cost, the disposition to own
cotton grows among an ever increasing
number of merchants, who take a purely
commercial and non-speculatiYe view of
the outlook.
Therefore, we feel that conservative
buying of the staple from the present ba-
sis, to lower one if necessary, will as
surely yield a profit to the holder as did
purchases of 55c wheat. Never forgetting
that, While wheat has become crop pro-
duced largely by machinery, cotton must
be raised by hand labor. which is a known
and important factor in either diminish
ing or Increasing the CROP"
