wisely. it stopped committing itself to
such early estimates.
Whatever be the state of the cotton
manufacturing business abroad, ,s-for-
elgners are taking as much OF our
cotton this year as they did4ldst. and
the English spinners are really taking
more. the exports up 10 the end OF last
week amounting to. 797.6 .62S bales,
aeainst 7lO .499 bales in the same period
in 1896, of which 3S1, ,781 bales went to
ENGLAND. as compared with 376.762
bales in the former year. IL is con-
ceded generally that the minimum
amount of American cotton which the
! world will consume in the coming year
| ;s O 400 600 bales. To meet this con-
sumption and to make up the deilcien-
cy in the worlds normal reserve stocks
of cotton will require, obviously. an
American crop this year OF not less
than 10, 900, 900 bales. Assuming that
this crop reaches that figure. holders OF
cotton ought to consider whether the
price at which cotton is now selling is
not pretty low for situation in whicn
demand and supply will be evenly
balanced, with the hazards OF the new
crop year yet to encounter, and win
the well known law in operation o.
the strong influence OF low prices TO-
ward an increased consumption OF SC
commonly Used staple. Indeed, thf
question may be raised most seriously
whether the prevailing price does no
. discount much larger crop than tat
figure named. There is now no reasoi
! such as there was in the panic OF 1894
, why growers of cotton should rusl
their product to market. selling 1T TO
q whatever it would bring and selling 8
8 much of it at so low figure that II
i the latter part of the cotton year tn
n price increased more than two cents

q record and before the prospects {
another crop was known. AS the sui
n ceeding crop neared its harvest 1t wa
a seen 10 be n short one, and anothe
n two cent rise occurred.
n There IS much matter here for cotto
II planters thinking.

1.-THE late Heury Grady used to say
that cotton is fool, and so it ID.
prices are always low when they
ought to be high, and in spite OF in
creased consumption all over the
world and the opening OF new
markets, cotton has been going
Steadily down. When a man sits
down to study the situation or reason

cotton will do just the opposite OF
