THINKS COTTON
Will GO HIGHER
CROP IS OYFREST!MATED
MEMPHIS PAPERS COTTON EX-
PERT REVIEWS PAST AND
PRESENT YEARS YIELDS.

That the present price of cotton is
too low in view of the conditions and
that the crop of 1912 is being gener-
ally overestmated is the opinion of
J. B. Turner, the cotton expert of the
Memphis Commercial Appeal. Mr..
Turner presents an interesting re-
view of cotton conditions for the past
season ending August 3, and a con-
sentative study of the prospects for
the present season. His article, in
part, is as follows:
At the close of the cotton year the
trade is both retrospective and pro-
phetc 1t looks backward in order
that experience may guide to prop

shed some light upon the hazy future.
The season past was a most remark
able one. 1t produced the biggest
crop grown in America by more than
100000 bales, and witnessed the
most marked revival in the spinning
industry ever known in a short time.
Mr.. Hester places the commercial
crop at 16,l3S,000 bales, yet the sup
ply carried over in the visible is
scarcely 500 900 bales greater than
that of the previous year, when the
crop was 1920, 900 bales. There
may have been added to reserves l =
000,000 bales, but even SO, it is quite
evident that the consumption of cot

sumption, the new one holds wonder.
