Smith Sees Good Promise.
President Smith, Of the cotton asso-
citation on yesterday issued the fol-
lowing interesting statement on the
cotton situation: II have just return
ed from a rather hurried trip to the
west. The serious decline in the price
Of cotton made it Of the utmost i'm
portance that 1 should get better
personal idea of the real situation.
According to the facts CLEANED, see
no reason why those who have spot
cotton need be uneasy as to the final
outcome Of prices. India is practically
1900, 900 bales short, America practical
ly. 100000 bales short; aggregating,
from these two sections alone, 4,O0O,-
900 bales less than last year; making
a reduction of 25 per cent In the
worlds visible and invisible supply.
The spindle capacity this year Is far
in excess Of that Of last year. There
fore more cotton Is needed. 1t Is es-
timated that there are being consum-
ed, at the present rate, about 1,000,-
600 bales per month. According to
the figures Of Mr.. Hester, there Is
available, for the balance OF the seas
on, a little over 100000. Therefore
by the first of September the stocks
of raw cotton will be practically ex-
hausted, and no reserve TO carry over
at all. Confidence In trade Is being
RAPIDLY restored, money Is getting
easier, the southern mills are report
ed as being practically without cot
ton. the northern mills are short of
stocks, and from all indications and
from every standpoint, If the present
holders of spot cotton are able to hold
on, somebody will have to pay the
price. We have learned valuable
lesson on account of the dependence
of so many producers on the stores
and banks. Let's reduce that depen-
dence this year by reducing our obli-
cations for home supplies and fertili-
zer bills. l was delighted with the
spirit Of cheer and determination al
