In the financial community the opin-
ion was expressed frequently that pub
lie sentiment had become more den
hitely In favor OF the protection Of the
good points IN the methods of "big
business" Basis for this view was
seen in the expression by men in pub
lie life of varying political creeds OF
the intention TO do what they could
10 foster these business methods.

especially strong They were helped
BY the larger dividends for Atlantic

sorernments estimate on the size of
he crop will be. and what the atti-
tude of holders in the South and OF
spinners asSwell as that of the specu-
iative element will be. Therefore,
great Importance attaches to the char
acter of this coming crop estimate. and
III is TO be hoped that great care Will
DO exercised IN its completion In the
effort to approximate the total yield
as near Is possible.
Attrsctirencss of Present Prices.
The present range of prices for spot
cotton on the basis of middling quoted
on tho various Southern spot markets
from Wilmington to Savannah. Mont
gomery. Mobile, New Orleans TO
Shreveport and Little Rock TO Mem
phis and Dallas to Fort Worth, and
thence down 20 Houston and Galveston.
Is from Q TO Q lie cents. while In this
market the range of prices for future
deliveries during the current month I'M
10 next August is from 2 IA cents
down TO 9 cents for January TO SO
cents. This compares with the aver.
age of II cents realized during the sea
son for last years crop. and q bout IA
Ia cents for the previous crop.
1t is the first time the worlds spin
ners have had an opportunity to get
cotton so cheap since the spring of
1907: Then prices ranger from to
S 1-2 cents. As a consequence OF the
attractfveness of this comparatively
low price and the shortage of the In
dia crop, and likewise the smaller
Egyptian crop than last year, spin
ners are meeting the market and are
buying freely. especially when offers
are made by spot holders in the South
at any concessions from the present
level. European and Continental spin
ners have so fer taken TO date more
than they did last year, but both the
Southern and New Eng land spinners,
being nearer to the crop. are still be-
HING their taking to this time last
year.
The Outlook for the Future.
Any break In the price from . cents.
say. to 8 1-2 cents would make cotton
appear 80 cheap that heavy Investment
buying would doubtless develop. These
conditions, together with the readiness
of banks to lend freely on cotton In
collateral loans and the formation, of
the powerful, syndicate here headed by
Colonel Thompson, to help planters In
the South carry the balance of the
crop and realize higher prices for 1t,
is likely to keep the contract market
in a steady condition unless the future
ginning reports and the Agricultural
Bureaus estimate OH the size of the
crop should confirm the extreme crop
estimates still current in the trade of
over 1 ,50o,o0o bales.
Even in that event It Is believed that
break 10 anything like cents would
lead to a stronger holding movement
among planters in the South on the
balance of the crop. and induce heavy
curtailment in the acreage In the plant
ing for tho next seasons crop Thus
the market is attracting attention Of
Wall Street operators as well as trad :
ers throughout the dry goods districts
