taken place In the culture of raw cotton
is proof positive that the net profits en-
5oyed by the manufacture have been
relatively greater than the net profits en-
Joyed by the farmer, consequently read
justment that will result in more equita-
Bile division seems logical enough.
Fifteen cents for raw cotton has not
checked consumption to an appreciable
extent. The true test of a just distribu-
ton of an equitable division of profit
is a maximum price that will check con-
sumption and minimum price that
will check production. At present prices
there is no danger of deliberate raw cot
ton production curtailment, but since
present prices are not checking consump-
tion they can hardly be called high"
The cause Of the future market de-
cline Of 100 points from the top could
not be traced to free selling of spots, or
to restricted demand for spots, since the
actual cotton market has refused to fol-
low the downward course. Fear on the
part of stock market interests of the
Presidents attitude on corporation legis-
lation caused the free selling of securi-
ties. decline and calls for margins
which in turn forced some security mar
ket longs to liquidate cotton market in
terest In order to secure profits. This
in turn depressed the future cotton mar
ket But spot cotton longs have laughed
at the decline since future market for
shorts must ultimately buy from spot
longs the cotton they will need for de-
livery on contract, and the mills have
stood ready to pay more for spot sup
plies than spectators are now In posi-
ton to pay without serious loss
With cotton selling at Is and 16 cents
future market reaction of 100 points is
less strenuous and more to be expected
than 50-point reaction when cotton is
selling at 10 cents. The truth of the case
is. the market has advanced so steadily
and so persstently during so many
months that most people had begun to
think that declines were not coming.
Thus the enforcement of some funda-
mental economic law has walked them up,
but has not harmed the cotton market in
the end

EXPL ANAT|ON OF
BREAK IN COTTON
Future Market Had Become
Very Top Heavy
SITUATION Is BUlllSH
statistician Says Cotton at Twenty
Cents a Pound Is Not Too High
Under Present Conditions
of Trade.

New Orleans, January 7.-(Special.)-
Wednesdays sharp break in cotton was
more apparent than real. since the dis
turbancs incident to the clearing up OF
the future market, which had become top
heavy, has not had corresponding eff
feet on the spot situation. In support or
this view of the weeks cotton market
occurrences the statistician of the firm
oy Jay, Keplinger & Brown, after month
of careful research, has published an
elaborate compilation showing the COM
parative worth of commodities in general
and by a series of logical deductions
draws the conclusion that 20 cents a
pound for middling raw cotton would not
be a heroic figure II cost of production
and shortness of supply be regarded In
its proper relationship to scope of re-
quirement.
Saws this careful writer: Although
cotton has advanced 715 points within
u months there has been no serious stop
page of spindles and consumption con-
tinues at the rate of 100000 bales and
more a year. Meanwhile prices of man
ufactured goods are gradually being ad-
justed to conform with the cost of the
raw material
american mills are well engaged with
forward contracts, and their operations
thus far will justify the usual divi-
dends.
I'm spite Of the advancing tendency Of
manufactured goods their consumption
appears to be increasing. short raw
cotton supply will ultimately necessitate
decrease in the production Of manufac-
tured goods. whether consumers so de-
sire or not.
Compared with wheat at H.1S per
bushel, corn at &c cents, and pork at
s22, cotton at 20 cents pound will not
appear relatively high, when 1t is re-
membered that the majority Of cotton
planters buy their bread and meat on the
basis of these prices"
According to Professor Burkett, In his
able book on Cotton" one pound Of
cotton at 10 cents will make:
One and one-half yards denim, worth
% cents
Four yards brown Cheeting, worth 20
cents.
Four yards bleached muslin, worth SO
cents.
Seven yards calico, worth IS cents.
Six yards gingham, worth H cents.

Ten yards lawn, worth $3.50
Or Sc spools No. y sewing thread, worth

1T should cost more to transform raw
material into a manufactured product
