(By walter parker)


New Orleans, La, Sept 1.-THE
war in Europe has progressed far
enough to develop phases which con-
vince the students OF the trade that
the established system OF internat-
ional commerce the only system
the business men of America have
been trained to work under will
not be destroyed. In other words. the
far seeing men are now convinced
that the Teuton's industrial system
which in late years has harrassed the
Enelishmen, Frencbmen and Ameir-
cans, the fear OF which has been
big factor in spreading the trade pes
simism since the war began, will not
gain domination over the world bust,
ness as result of the war.
This. OF course. means that such
merit as the Teutonic system posses
ses will prevail only through the slow
process Of evolution in peaceful time
and not suddenly by the might Of
arms.
The effect of this conviction on the
minds Of the cotton men cannot fail
TO be felt in a bigger and bigger way.
since they are now beginning to real
ize its shock to commerce. and trade
viii be that OF temporary checks
rather than revolutionary changes
New avenues Of trade will be OPP
ened to America. and the fact that
the system Of carrying that trade on
will differ is no important respect
from the economic system that has
existed all along must soon engender
decidedly better feeling.
Thus II follows that the cotton
trade. more and more especially, will
lose It's fear of the future, that the
promised surplus from the growth of
1914 will come to be regarded as a
means Of encouraging expanding OF
consumption that profitable markets
for food crops will automatically re-
duce the acreage planted to cotton,
and that the impulse given to diver
sified farming will assure sustained
prosperity and a greater measure Of
price making influence in the south
during many years to come,
Meanwhile. a great deal is being
done throughout the belt to assist
the farmer in Withholding his cotton
until satisfactory markets shadd be
developed. Warehouses are being
erected in practically every county
and many of those are bonded ware
houses norder that the receipts may
be used for collateral in case of em-
ergency for currency. The Buy a
Bale of Cotton Movement" has at
tanned large proportions. Many OF
the merchants are holding the farm
er's cotton with the price wide open,
thus protecting the accounts of the
farmer as well as his own. In the
very near future the cotton exchange
is expected to find way TO open the
rings to hedge the trader.
From all of which. in the last few
days, distinct tendency toward
greater confidence in the future cot
ton market has begun to develop
and, as consequence. interior val
ues have advanced half a cent a
pound.
on September 20 delegates repre-
senting the farmers. merchants. and
bankers, from all of the cotton grow
ing state, on the call of the southern
Cotton Association, will assemble in
convention at New Orleans. At this
