WHY COTTON Is Low.
Col. Alfred B. SheppersOn Gives
Some Interesting Facts.

In an article upon The subject
in the current number of Textile
America, Colonel Alfred B. Shep-
person, of New York, the cotton
expert, undertakes to explain
why cotton has not advanced.
The reason Tor the decline from
July September prices, he says,
was the fact that the higher prices
which obtained during and be-
tween these months was purely
speculative, and on many coca
sions the quotations were merely
nominal. Meantime, cotton cloths
were selling at 9-19 cents per
pound, being the lowest for so
years. 1t has been found i'm.
possible TO force the price of
manufactured goods up to a
parity with cotton at s cents per
pound, hence the manufacturers
have not gone into the market
for more than Immediate neces
sary supplies. In some instances,
indeed, the mills have been work
ing on short hours, for the very
reason that raw cotton was rela
lively too high for the manufac.
tured products.
Colonel Shepperson concludes,
however, that prices have not
reached a level at which manu-
facturers can buy at a profit,
hence he looks for more purchases
by them. He is also of the
opinion, from Southern advices
received by him, that the crop
will be much short of the former
estimates by experts, and that
the manufacturers who 90 into
the market now will get their
stocks about as cheap as they can
te had this season. Should an
early frost come along the price
would 60 up "by heaps and
bounds Colonel Shepperson
says, and the manufacturers
would be left out in the cold.
"Those who entertain the idea
that prices will fall to the figures
of 1S94'95 he says, "are hug
ging a vain delusion. The con-
ditions were essentially different,
and | never again expect to see
middling cotton sell in New York
tor 3 GIG cents, which was the
price in November, 1895" But
the early frost has not come, and
1t is too late for it to come now.
