MUCH HIGHER PRICES FOR
COTTON PREDICTED.
Especial 70 News ana Observed

'0I'flNt 9 '.h@ NNl Rtn.t '#ts'
New Yorl. oct. 3 The United Sute,
government report on inc condition OF the
cotton crop. issued today how ~ aver
age condition throughout tn cotton pro
dueirs area OF SIS. as against Glf last
year, when the actual production was
about ten million bales. g IN 1000. when
tho production was lo2-ooau st in
1900. when the crop was . SOC. 600. aud
co.. in 1929. when the crop was 600, eDe.
The condition in Texas j. - ~ against
Il last year. IS in Zoo. - IN lSa" and -
in 1896. The condition OF the n hole lAlt
therefore is . per cent below the pre-
vious low record. while the condition in
Iexas is I per cent below the previous
low record.
There is no escape from tho conclusion
that these figures point TO an exec -dinriy
small crop. i'm my opinion not over 9. LOOT
o00, and there is further no escape from
the conclusion that such a supply is
entirely inadequate for the demands at
present prices ana that cotton must 30
very much higher. / therefore repeat
the advice | have previously offered to
southern holders and producers Il cot
ten and again urge them not to be IN
flucnccd by p@sa!ng speculative ilurrlrs
into an acceptance Of any lower prices

FIGS. ! feel entirely confident thet cot
ton will this year scll at 10 cents a

That is q good letter. A good man

Now, here is a gentleman OF more than
ordinary intelligence and education who
does not know that the sin of slavery
began in New England among his fore
fathers-not ours-and from there was
gradually crowded southwark until it
got to Georgia. and that Georgia was the
first State to prohibit their Importation
See Appleton's Cyclopedia (Slayery and
! the Slave Trade. He does not know
| that long after New England and New
York had abolished slavery their mer-
chantmen continued to trade with Africa
and sold their cGrgoeS secretly along the
| coast and never did but one reach Geor-
gia and that one. The Wandcrer.' was
seized and confiScatcd and its officers ar
! rested. 'tThe Wanderer" was built at
| Eastp0rt. in Maine. Was equipped as a
shaver in New York and differed there

slave trade with Africa was still going
on apd Boston merchants and Boston

| brows in its infamy. He does not know
that when our nations existence began
| the feeling against slavery was stronger
in the southern states than IN the
| Northern. Georgia was the first to pro-
hibit it, but later on the prohibition
was repealed. New England carried on
the traffic until 1St5-and is doing it
vet if they can find a market, and can
get the run TO pay foT them. The last
| record of a shaver caught in the act was
in 1861 off the coast of Madagascar, and
it was an F.astpOrt vessel. Ire save
