Organize to Determine Action.

Bearish influences in the different
departments of the speculative, buy
ing and consuming cotton world are,
as usual, getting busy to hammer
down the price of cotton for both near
and fall months delivery. There are
two arguments now being used to de
press the price of cotton; the first,
that the consumption of manufactured
goods is not satisfactory, owing to
continued trade depression in this
country; second, that the prospects
for large yield of cotton this year
is good in practically all sections Of
the cotton belt, except Oklahoma. Up
on these two propositions the fall
months are being hammered and DC,
tober deliveries are now around go,
while December futures are quoted at
about 9 cents by the New York Cotton
Exchange All cotton sold by export
ers for delivery in these months are
based on New York quotations, plus
whatever premium the contract be
tween the exporter and the spinner
is agreed on. If several million bales
are sold on the basis of these figures
every effort will be made to hold down
prices until these contracts are 1iqui-
dated. If the growers begin to rush
their cotton TO market as usual in
September and October it will be I'M
possible to stem the disastrous tide
of these Oppressive influences If
the farmers are not well organized
and secure the cooperative strength
of the banking and business interests
of the South they will have a hard
struggle ahead to maintain fair prices.
Lint cotton is worth more than its
fair market price today, and ii Will
be worth much more in October than
the present future quotations for that
month indicate. There must be some
thing done aside from the mere work
of organization. That is, of course,
the first step, provided organization
Is based on sound business princi-
pies. The business end of marketing
cotton is the most vital and impor-
tant part of the cotton industry to
farmers. If the crop is not sold at a
profit there is but little satisfaction in
the industry. The Cotton journal.
