"That is strange" gently retorted
the actor. Il heard almost every

the HIGH PRICE OF COTTON


The recent sensational advance in the
price OF cotton is attracting attention n
lall parts OF the world There has been
gain OF cents a pound, or $40 bale,
in the past month. aud present prices
are the highest seen In four years, ana
over 100 per cent higher than the quota
lions obtained for long period during
1897 and again in 1898.
The bulk of the crop was sold by the
] farmer this season at 7q7 IL cents per
pound. Perhaps million bales were
held for the cent values recorded the
latter part of January and early in Feb
ruary, but since cent cotton was reached
there has been only case here and there
where the producer benefited by the
higher values. There is practically no
cotton left In the country and the prices
now offered are OF little benefit to the
South, and very few people anywhere are
profting thereby. The new crop deliver
les are now selling on the New York
cotton exchange at s cents and above,
however, and If these values can be main-
tanned the next crop will be worth over
$500, 900, 900 TO the South. counting upon
not over IL 100000 bales being raised 1t
is very evident that eleven millions next
year will not i've the world any greater
supply than was furnished by a crop OF
nine millions in America this season.
~
The worlds visible supply, as made up
by the Financial Chronicle, Friday Feb
ruary ., was S,63l0OO bales This is small
err than any figure since 1891. In that
year, on the corresponding date the
worlds visible supply of cotton was g.
$40, 600 bales, and cotton sold at 12c per
pound in New York. In the year
previous--viz: 1S96-the visible supply
for the corresponding week was 296s,OOO
bales and cotton sold in New York at
II 9-4c per pound.
Since 1890 the worlds consumption of
cotton has increased fully IS per cent.
Since 1891 the estimated increase is about
10 per cent. The figures may be tabulated
as follows:
