SPINNERS ARE NOW SHORT
FARMERS MUST, IN GOOD BUSI-
NESS, HOLD THEIR CROPS.
Insurance Companies Are Putting Sto1
to the Burning of Cotton by
Stopping All Insurance.

New Orleans States, January g: eth,
farmers of the South have already sol,
100000 bales of cotton this year a
ten cents pound" said Mike H. Thorn
as, of Dallas, Texas, one of the biggest
cotton men of that State, ON the floor:
of the Cotton Exchange this morning
He has sold 5000, 900 bales more at nine
cents He has sold 1000 900 bales at less
than the latter price. Therefore he has
100000 to 100000 bales of cotton on
hand. l.
very we'll for these figures, but let
me give you some more figures that are
likewise facts - = -.->
THE spinners have sold from TO-
100000 to 100000 bales of cotton in
their future orders for goods for the
present year. That means they are now
are about 100000 bales short.
There you have it. The farmers are
long and the spinners are short. There
fore, as a business proposition, the farm
ers must hold their cotton. They are
holding it, and will hold it.
The Texas farmers and the cotton
farmers all over the belt are now in the.
very best financial condition. Our farm
ers in Texas, in many instances, sit in
their own homes and every morning call
up the cotton markets by telephone to-
find out at which one they can get the
best prices for their cotton. They are
men who are fully conversant with all
the facts and conditions surrounding the.
cotton market They know the facts !
have just related as well as ] know them.
And the farmer in Texas will hold cot
ton. @
Now what we want to do is to make
the farmers all over the cotton belt as
familiar with these conditions as they
are ii Texas. By holding cotton they
will Get their prices. The spinners must
have il to make good their future con-
tracts.
he matter of spreading this infor
nation tor the most part must be done
by the newspapers Of the South. They
have already done practically everything
IN their power along this line, but they
should keep up the good work until after
he convention to be held during the /
asst week Of the month.
We are going to make the statements
% generally made about the holding Of /
cotton absolute facts We are going to
,old cotton.
An Interesting story was going the
'ounds Of the Cotton Exchange this
morning to the effect that insurance COM
,anies were cancelling their cotton in
urance policies in neighborhoods Wherel
otton had already been burned in the
,outh and were greatly raising the value
i their policies in other localities wherel
he farmers have already threatened to-
urn their crops.
These facts seem to be authenticated
nd in this way the insurance companiest
ave already put an end TO the burning
+ cotton.
