There is no denying another import
ant fact, and that is, that with the
small visible supply of American cot
ton carried over on September 1, 1906,
and the crop now being gathered,
there will not be sufficient supplies to
meet the demand Of the spinners dur
ing the next twelve months. It is
openly admitted by conservative cot
ton mill men both in this country and
in Europe that the worlds consump-
ton of American cotton during. the next
twelve months will be at least II, ,500,:-
600 bales if the supplies can be obtain
able.
1t is well known to the trade that
the prices of all lines of manufactured
goods are advancing in prices to high
er levels. It is well known that the
demand for manufactured goods by
the jobbing and retail trade is far in
excess of the combined ability of all
the spindles in the world to supply
running on full time. It is also well
known fact that the trade conditions
of the entire civilized world was never
more elastic and prosperous than at
the present time. What do all of
these things mean to the men who
have cotton to sell this fall and win
ter? It means that through the i'm
mediate Inauguration of a correct
system of judicious marketing, or
selling the crop slowly, that this crop
can be easily marketed for the great
est amount of money ever received
by the South for any previous crop.
