GENERAL DEMAND FOR COTTON
GREATER THAN FORMERLY
]. h. CO0DeII, Former Head Of A.
& N. College, is Secretary Of
Texas Cotton Commission

Dallas, Tex Nov. 10. - If the
brakes which have considerably
checked the rush OF cotton to market
shall be clamped a bit tighter, the
price of the product will quickly ad
vance to Sc, basis middling, and the
remainder Of the Texas and Oklaho-
ma crop will sell at price ranging
from SC TO sc a pound, is the con-
fidently expressed belief of j A.
Kemp, head of the committee Great
ed by Texas bankers to deal with the
cotton situation, and of j. II. Connell,
president for Texas of the southern
cotton association, who is co-operat-
ing with the bankers organization.
They are sending out impressive
and convincing arguments as to the
way and how of putting on the
brakes.
Attention has been directed here
tofOre to the fact that Texas and
oklahoma cotton this year is of un-
usually fine quality, much of it will
class above middling Consolation
has been derived from this fact, for
it means that as compared with last
year, when the quality of cotton was
low. Texas cotton is not selling so
cheaply as is indicated by compari-
son of middling quotations.
Ideal Product to Hold.
But Professor Connel gets more
than consolation out OF the fact
Texas cotton of this years growth
is an ideal product to hold for bet
ter price" he says. Texas has pro
duced cotton of unusually fine quail
ity and it is the only state to do so
this year There is always a demand
for high-class cotton. A friend tells
me that in his twenty eight years
experience as a cotton factor he new
er knew Of a surplus OF the better
grades of cotton.
Here is an additional reason why
we should hold the remainder of our
lotion for a reasonable price We
know that this kind of cotton will be
n demand We can, therefore. hold
{ with greater assurance than If it
we're of ordinary or low grade, for it
s quite unlikely that next years cot
on will be so good as this.
ITS Ours; Protect IT,"
These are the especial reasons
Why we should put forth every pos
ible effort to save the remainder of
'ur crop from distress sale. Aside
rom these. cotton ideally lends it
elf to holding It does not need 20
e fed, as would hogs or cattle, and
t will neither be corrupted by moth
