! standard. 1t is moving because
of the working of the great law
of supply and demand.
While we grew more cotton
than the world needed the price
was low. With the kind help OF
Providence we grew last season
less than the world needs and
buyers, having become convinced
that the supply is short, are bid~
ding higher and higher. Cotton
is at 9 cents not because there is
more money but because there is
less cotton.
Of course the general prosperi-
ty of the world helps, because
people have money to buy cotton
goods and their demands keep the
mills going at top speed, and the
mills are compelled to buy the
raw material to fill their orders;
but if there was a 13, 600, 600 bale
crop cotton would he selling at
hve cents, no matter what the
currency laws might be.
