President Taylor of the National Associa tiea Issues Q Statement to Cotton Growers of the
 South.
The following statsment has

The following statement has been issued:
 Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 10, 1908. To the Ginners and Planters:
 Your reports indicate that the ginning has been gradually falling off since De-
 According to your reports there has been ginned from January 18th to February Tth Inclusive. 254,0o0 or about 1l0o0 bales per
 y isth S Maren s iTSm or about 1s.ooo bales per day. Over one-half of our sinners reporting this time say that the one-half of the balance say that they have less than ten bales to gin l judge from viii be about 10. soo.o .ooo to 10. 800 'ooO, pos- sibiy less This would mean commercial crop of about i1.ssO. o0o bales if the farm years. On account of the bales a1 being so SO much llghter 1t means less than II, ,00O, GOO bales of last years weights.
 September list. 1906. the visible supply of American cotton was ss4.000 last years crop added made supply for last year of was t,2s5.000. add 11.250,00O, gives 12.5s5,- 900 as the total supply for this season end ing September ist, next Of this amount over As there is no sale for them. being quoted as low as ic per pound, There is last years crop that is almost Worthless '.s, to spin. This would leave a little over IF, 100000 to supply the world, and out of this has got to came about 500.000 bales to pro- tect the future markets. Ellison the leading English satisfaction estimates the consump- ton at 1&,4OOs00O; so far the indications fa- vor this much or more European Spinners have taken over 125.000 more than last year. Southern spinners about 50,000 less So that the real loss Is the Northern spin ners. ordinarily they have at this time of the year enough on hand to run them for several months, but owing to the panic they have been only buying as they need it, hence they win be buying steadily the bal arce of the season. There are today about 100000 more spindles in the world run nlng than last year.
 During the last five years cotton has sold every year higher than 1t is now before the middle of July and four years out of five it sold for over SIG bale higher. As it only costs about two dollars per bale to car " 1t till then and less if you don't borrow any money on 1t. This looks like a good investment.
 So far the winter has been very mild in the South and the boil weevils have come through all right and unless we have weath. CT below xero In the weevil district. which covers now about 40 per cent of the cotton acreage we can only make a moderate crop.
 While trade conditions are not good. vel the country as whole is prosperous and as soon as the spring trade opens up I feel sure trade will improve and if it does the present supply will be practically exhaust ed before September list, and there will be q scramble for the rest of the crop. Don't pay any attention to the bear arguments there is not enough cotton to go around and the spinners will need every bale so you pay a reasonable price.
