do not think the South can increase
her acreage in 1912 because of a poor
cereal crop. / do not think India, with
z per cent less acreage and thus far
unfavoring conditions, will contribute
within one-half million bales of her
last years supply; or can Egypt afford
her usual output. Last years worlds
cotton crop was the second largest in
history and the over surplus was a
bagatelle-so small that forced cur.
tailment for four months was neces-
sary.
This years world crop might prove
but little larger. At today's, or at
lower levels, think cotton an excel.
lent investment and unless some war
or pestilence or panic should inter-
fere, ! expect to see cotton return to
the lucent level before another crop
begins to move, not from any specula,
ton but of its own inherent merit
which the owners of the staple them
selves seem least to understand. We
will export nine million bales out of
this crop and get s25 per bale less
therefor than Europe would gladly
send us If we had the courage to ask
1t and the patience to wait for it.
"The value of cotton for the mo-
ment and for the next thirty days is

Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1911-10-02
COTTON is SELLING TOO LOW.

Too many people, including farmers,
form their opinions from appearances.
making no allowance for anything
that Is not in sight. Such people see
ing the warehouses and yards full of
cotton and immense piles of bales in
the streets naturally take this as an
evidence OF an immense crop and
hasten to sell for whatever price they
can get. The spinners and spectators
are not slow to encourage this frenzy
OF the farmer to cheaper the market.
The average cotton farmer judges the
size of the crop by what he sees, and
neither knows nor cares about Stats
tics. He does not even consider that
ten cents a pound now is hardly the
equivalent of what six cents was few
years ago.
A correct diagnosis of the cotton
situation, We believe, is presented In
this extract from circular by Mr..
]. c. Hill of the New York cotton ex.
change:
We are facing a situation today
that seems but little understood, all
eyes being centered upon the prog.
ress of the crop. A conservative esti-
mate at the moment is thirteen and
one-half million bales, with the
chances of adding to these figures not
so great as the chances OF being
forced to lower them. Early ginning
and early movement has always char
acterized crops whose maturity was
forced. The waiting attitude of trade

to buy cotton, and to buy goods, has
left an impression of bad trade which
Is exaggerative, and If the South
should make a determined stand for
increased prices for their product they
could easily establish a higher level
OF values The world only took twelve
million bales Of American growth last
year, but twelve million bales was all
America raised.
Whether the coming crop is twelve
or fifteen million bales, there will be
no plethora, as one million bales of
1t might go into the visible and one
million be added to the invisible sup
ply, and still not be burdensome at
present price levels. To those who
see in the increased gold supply, the
increased population and the in.
creased desires of that population, the
annual necessity of a large cotton
crop, the present situation invites in
vestment. To those who think the
mills can not make a profit, would
suggest an examination of their divi-
dends during periods where they paid
more for the raw material and sold
the finished product for less than ex-
listing prices; and to those who boast
that they can raise cotton at 10 cents
per pound and make profit, | heart
lily suggest adding some practical ex-
perience to their mere statement
The forthcoming ginning report
will possibly show three and one-half
million bales ginned to September %;
the end of the month movement fig
ures will show one and one-half mill
ion brought into sight Both of these
figures would be records, but they
mean only an early crop, forced ma
turity, increased ginning facilities,
perfect weather for picking "a condi-
ton which might extend itself to the
october Is ginning report, which
might exceed seven and one-half mill
lon bales ginned), and still we might
have small crop. In fact, the 1909
crop Appropriated record ginning
on September 25, but ginned less than
hve million bales after October IS.
Both 1905 and 1909, which we're ten
and three-quarter million bale crops,
showed more cotton ginned to October
Is than did 1906, which turned out
thirteen and one-half million.
The more cotton sold now by
