y. e. LATHAM'S MARKET LITTER,

Wheat is selling at the highest
prices ever recorded in many Of the
interior cities of the West, and the
newspapers report that Mr.. Patten
and his associates nave made many
millions by their s~hrewdness in corn
ering the grain and meat supply Of
the United States.
Mr.. Harrimal. the railroad king,
is quoted as saying thataethe reason
business is not good is because peo-
pie are econO1niZing and not spending
money. The rea reason is that food
is so dear the market basket is
filled, there is no money left to buy
other things. Therefore, the food
producing sections are rolling in
wealth while the balance Of the
country is struggling to meet expenses.
The above is mentioned because the
belief is widespread in Europe and
America that the South will plant
every acre possible in cotton regard
less of the low prices of cotton or the
highsprices Of food. This opinions may
be correct, but inasmuch as the2South
has these corner prices for food.
fresh in mind it is hard to believe it
is a section Of fools. In the first

place, there is more money in corn
than there is in cotton at present
prices: and furthermore, h cotton
grower should be interested in reduc-
inc the price of food because such a
reduction would increase the buy1ng'
power of the masses and thereby
cause a larger demand for cotton
goods.
Business from the cotton mill stand
point is unsatisfactory. but there is
Improvement and this years consump-
ton Of cotton is going to be full.
Last year we had a large increase
in acreage and nearly perfect weather
prevailed from preparation to pick
ing-the result, a big crop n low
prices. These conditions may be re-
peated this year, but the recOrd book
showing averages does not so indi-
cate.
Cotton is selling at comparatively
and relatively low prices. From an
investment standpoint, the risk IN
buying seems only moderate; from a
speculative standpoint the possibility
of large profits makes the cOnstruc-
tive side very attractive.
I believe the acreage Will be re-
duced.
