say That World Il Now Facing Most
Serious Famine since War.
New York. April s-The position OF
cotton each season has its unique fea-
lures, but 1t is doubtful whether the
situation was ever more complicated
and peculiar than it IS At the present
time. Common sense and good tudg-
ment would lead TO the inevitable con-
clusiOn that buIhng cotton at l5c a
pound Is A hazardous proposition That
is TO say, The opportunities in the way
Of an Increase are 50 slim and few
cnat they Will not pay for the risks
involved This 3 a fact The sooner
this point Of view Is accepted. the
more money we are all likely 10 make.
II is time for complete frankness on
the part Of all interested in the cot
ton market and gray hairs and years
of experience count for very little IN
der the circumstance.
No one knows whether the census
report Of ~. 0o0 600 bales is correct No
one knows what consumption viii be
a such prices when present trade has
been built Up on cheap cotton and
again no one knows what the effort OF
crop news in May and June viii have
on TIE attitude Of consumers.
All the best Informed can say al the
present time is that the world seems
TO be facing the most serious famine
that has been presented to il since the
CtvN War. As TO what viii be the
result OF that famine on the price OF
cotton the opinion Of one man is just
az valuable as the opinion OF another.
But this much seems TO be beyond
controversy. There is very little cot
ton 20 be had The losses involved in
shutting down a big plant Is very
serious Msnufa cturers as a rule pre-
fer losses incident upon converting raw
material into goods rather than the
heavier losses resulting from complete
stoppsg &c.
Therefore. until there is some more
cotton for the coming season We do not
see where the basis for shoA selling
IN futures exists and We still believe
in the conservative buying Of cotton

This is particularly encouraging, as IL
Is fully year since any large orders
have come from that quarter Of the
globe. Spot demand has started up
again, and sales Of about 11.000 are
reported from New Orleans alone. This
morning there was more selling by the
same bear clique which has been &C

large that they are not in position TO

quarter Much stress is being laid by
the bears upon the large stocks now
held at interior towns. and it is argued
with some show OF reason that the IN
counted towns should hold a similar
excess, but the points in this calcula-
ton which is omitted is that holders
of these stocks are in position to carry
them indefinitely and that before ne
