European manufacturers, it seems.
have just realized that the cotton crop
is short, and the price OF the staple is
steadily advancing, u number of the
exporters believing that it will reach
ten cents. We hope that this will not
prove an incentive to the farmers to
plant large crop this year. If the
farmers will plant less cotton, keeping
the crop down to eight or nine million
bales, they will receive more money
than il they raised an enormous crop.
