Cotton Market

Editor PreSS-Dear Sir: 1t is very
evident that a determined effort is be
ing made to force the cotton markes
To- lower level. The futures are now
50 much lower than the market for
spots it shows a determination on the
part of the owners of real cotton not
to be stampeded into selling on the
basis of the paper cotton" market.
The situation is clear. the bull element
iS satisfied to let the bears profit on
a falling market-tnat is, the bears
are now permitted to shear the lambs.
When cotton has been forced as low
as conditions will tolerate. then the
talent will buy at low prices and up
GOES the market. If this is not tn"
situation, why is real cotton 50 mucn
higher than paper cotton? 1t is very
clearly a manipulated market My in
formation is that the SpinnerS have con
tracted for more cotton than there is in
existence and the source of that in
formation makes me all but know that
it is absolutely correct. | unqualifi-
edly advise yOu to hold your cotton
for 4 cents OF better. T. d. M'CALL.
