THE SITUATION AS TO COTTON

Der report of the condition of the cot
ton crop having sustained the esti-
mates of those who placed it at about
65 per cent of perfect, the Houston
Post thinks there Is reason for looking
for firmer market from now on
There being no room left for hang
ing to the suspicion that the stories of
deterioration which have been coming
from every quarter of the cotton grow
ing portion of the country were pur-
posely tinted with blue, freer taking of
spots should characterize the immedl-
ate future,
The first marked departure from the
hand to mouth policy heretofore pur-
sued by the spinners will probably be
made in England From all accounts
the departments report has been
awaited there with view to acting
upon such conclusions as it might lead
up to.
Those conclusions being such as to
strengthen the belief in short crop
and higher prices, it is natural to sup
pose that the coming week will wit
ness an active demand among English
operatives for American cotton.
With regard to the American spin
ners, it is probable that they will but
reluctantly enter the market as yet,
Deprived of further grounds for an.
ticipating a bumper crop, they viii

goods market is unsatisfactory as an
excuse for further delaying purchases
The way to balk the bears is to avoid
Quitting the market If the farmer;
will continue to let go of the crop by
degrees only they will remain in com
mand of the situation.
All things considered, cotton is no
dear at 10 cents this year, and i
should not be parted with on any
weaker basis. This remembered, there
is no reason why, for once, the prof
to be derived from taking advantage
of existing conditions should not go tt
the cotton farmers instead of to gam
blers on change.
