when the cotton prices move. sttIl
there Is great difference in the price
movements of the two Whatever cot
ton is produced has to be sold as cot.
ton' ana when cotton Is needed Il
must be cotton alone that is bought
There Is no substitute, and IL stand,
on its own feet. with simply the SUP.
ply and demand for cotton that reg.
ulates cotton prices.
Not SO with cotton seed oil, In til.
nrst place. all the cotton seed produced
is not crushed and made into oil, but
1t Is also used for other purposes. An,
other important difference Is that tn.
Oh! Is largely used as a substitute FOL
other substances, and its price Is con.
comitant with the price and the de.
mand for the articles which II stands
for.
so. then. there are various factors
In the supply and demand Of the cot
ton oil products. The size of the cot.
ton crop, the price of forage, or fer.
tilizers. the number OF oil mills would
all figure In the supply of the cotton
oil. The demand would naturally de.
pend on the supply of lard. or greases,
OF butter, or other vegetable oils.
Altogether there IL little manipula.
ton to affect the cotton oil mill in.
dustry. There are no corners, for
mills of the country there is utilized
but about S6 per cent of the cotton
seed grown. And cotton seed will not
bear storing as will cotton. for future
deliveries.
And then. because there are
more Independent oil mills than trust
plants. the other phases of stock mar
ket manipulation are eliminated. There
IL little artificial huctuation. by these
reasons. and the price received by the
oil mill men depends simply upon the
supply and demand.
And here IL q fact which marks the
cotton seed industry as unique among
the big industries OF the world-the
| socalled trusts are no bigger, nor
more powerful. no more significant than
the smallest single press independent,
There Is no freeze-out games being
pulled OF in this branch of the world
the big man cannot AFFORD to do 1t. for
there is three independent plants to
every branch plant of the trusts. He
can do things more extensively. and
upon a Wholesale basis. probably, but
down at the bottom. the industry ia
one of the South and the Southern
people. and to no foreign capital will
