FORESTS GOING,
famine COMING.
Director Of United States Bureau
Describes Conditions and
Proposes Remedy.

/ Before one of the largest audiencei
Which have gathered In the jefferson
I Hotel auditorium this seasonh Hon.
Clifford Pinchot, OF Washington, chief
of the United States Bureau OF For.
lcstry, described last night In a clear
and Interesting manner the needs OF
the country In the matter OF the pres.
crvation OF forests.
With tho advance OF civilization. Mr.
Pinchot saId the forests OF the United
States. formerly thought to be mex
| haustible. have become smaller and
smaller, until now the country is al
most facing a famine" He went on
to show tho inestimable value OF for.
ests. aside from their mere use for tim
Der. In his judgment the people Of
| the United States who own forest lands
must be educated to the fact that the
proper preservation OF the trees Is as
important for other reasons us for the
timber they produce for the market.
The forests are the greatest sources
of power, and the prevention OF their
destruction is OF imperative Importance
| for the protection OF other natural re
| sources
Now the forests of the country are
being cut away about three times az
fast as they are grown said Mr.. Pho
chot. "The country Is on the verge OF a

has been evidenced by the recent hig!,
prices of lumber This. he declared
| is not only on account of the increased
demand for lumber, but because year
by year the timber is becniing scarcar
and unless something Is done to stop
the wholesale denudation of tie forests.
the time Is not far hence when there.
| will be not only no timber to be tut.
but none to protect the mountain sides
and streams.
AS remedial measures Mr.. Pinchot
suggested three as being the most
lpractical-hrst, that the government
hold all the forest lands it now has
and as fast as possible secure more.
using the modern methods of forestry
to make these lands prolific; second,
that the citizens recognize az their
duty the preservation OF the forests
and with the aid OF the government
experts. whose help they can get for
the asking take such measures as Will
best promote the growth OF their prl-
waite lands; third, that the States which
have taken no steps In this important
cause profit by the example of those
which have done So and pass laws
| in behalf OF the great resources which
are fast vanishing.
The labor of those who are trying to
avoid timber famine In the country,
he declared, is but forerunner OF that
which Will have 10 be done later ON
with much less to work on II the
people exercise in this matter the fore
sight that they have In other national
issues, 1t may now be averted
He urged that individuals take tho
matter UP and preserve their own
woods and those OF tilet, neighbors.
They will get ready and inexpensive
aid from the government. Concluding.
he said that Virginia, the mother OF
Presidents, upon whose sell the nation
/ first gained a foothold, should take
the front rank in this great cause.
She needs the forests for her streams
and for her denuded mountain sides,
and the other States need her example.

Profits on Futures.


 For instance, suppose that the mer- chant in question had agreed to de- liver the 10000 bales of middling cot ton to the spinner at cents and had immediately purchased future con- tracts for 10000 bales at ' F cents. If he is compelled to pay 10 cents for his middling cotton in the spot market, T would suffer a loss, since his agreement to deliver at cents must, of course, be fulfilled. If, however, while the spot market advances from cents to 10 cents, his future contract, purcha ased as a hedge, advances by a similar amount--from 7h to 91a cents-the loss of cents on the spot cotton will be counterbalanced by a profit of : cents on his future contracts.
 The hedging function is by no means as simple as might appear fro n this brief description, but it is com plicated, among other reasons, because of the large number of grades deliver able on future contracts and because the commercial differences between grades are subject to change under the operation of the law of supply and de mand. Spinners, as just stated, usual ly desire specific grades, and it is primarily the function of the cotton merchant to supply spinners with such grades. In ordinary business the cot ton merchant uses the quotation os some future month as a basis for cal culating price to the spinner, and then adds to that basis a certain num- Der of points to cover his expenses and profit. In the case of grades other thal middling he also either adds or deducts a certain number of points to cover the difference on or off middling at which he expects to get the particular grade
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-05-04

desired in the spot market. An i'm mense business in spot cotton is at present thus effected by using the future price as a basis.
 The risk of fluctuations in grade diff ferences is often a serious one. Thus, a cotton merchant may undertake to deliver a spinner good middling cotton at, say so points on the price of Jan uary futures, allowing, say, 40 points for expense and profit and 40 points for the difference on middling which he may have to pay for good middlin'y in the spot market. As matter ne fact, there may be such a shortage ai good middling that the merchant will be forced to pay for that grade 10) points difference on middling. In this case, since his contract bought as .t hedge is expected to advence only in correspondence with the price of mid ding, the additional advance in good middling, indicated by the widening the difference. would mean a loss to the merchant. This risk of huctuation 'n grade differences properly falls on the merchant. He assumes this element cf risk, but relies ,on his. future contract purchased as a hedge to remove the other element of risk as to the basis price itself.
 Principle of Hedging.
 The principle of hedging, especial'v in so far as buying hedges is- con- cerned, rests on the assumption that the price of future contracts for the current or spot month will maintain a fairly constant parity with the spot price of middling cotton. A cotton merchant who has purchased a future contract hedge ap certain mar gin or discount below the spot price of middling cotton will suffer a loss if,
