CLEAR VIEW OF COTTON SITUATION
Federal
Reserve Theme Close To Hearts South
Business Men,

the banker, as to the wisdom of as
sisting in such an operation There
are matters for individual Judgment,
but / wish to call attention to tho
fact that cotton Is commodity which
has always shown itself susceptible to
marked and sudden fluctuations In
value. As case In point. ! may cite
both inclusive. In one of these years.
1904. the difference between the high
and low point In the price OF cotton
was 10.41 cents per pound. or more
than $50 per bale according TO OF
icial quotations on the New York
Cotton Exchangel. The least range
of values occurred in the year 1905.
In extreme fluctuations OF z.SS cents
per pound. or about SIS q bale. and
the average annual fiuctuation during
the entire period Of twelve years has
been 5.3S cents per pound, or about
S27 per bale. While cotton at some
time during some OF these years has
sold In the South around six cents per
pound, the average price during any
year would have been satisfactory TO
the cotton producer. As rule. the
active marketing OF cotton takes place
during three or four months of the
gear, although the process of com
sumption Is one that goes on during
the entire twelve months. The mer-
chants and bankers OF the South are
well accustomed to making advances
against crops still to be planted or IN
cultivation, but they have usually
been insistent that as soon as the crop
has ceased to be d potentially and has
become reality. that it be brought
to market and sold as rapidly as pos
sibie. Other obligations Of the farm
ers, such as for fertilizer, have in
many cases been made payable early
In the fall. so, with all factors tending
toward congestion. the basic situation
OF the cotton market must be ex-
ceedingIy strong to prevent q drop In
price during the time when the cot
ton OF the most needy producers Is
being marketed. This year certainly
no financial obstacles are in the way
OF more orderly methods in marketing
the crop. l would not undertake, Of
course. to advise any individual as 10
the course that he should pursue N
marketing his crop. but. viewing the
situation as whole, am convinccA
that the results Of gradual market
ing of the chop this season viii re
far more satisfactory than would be
the case were the crop forced upon
the market within short period. The
south mas now ample warehouse ia
cilities for properly caring Cor that
portion OF the crop on which loans
are apt to be negotiated. and the
banks can provide ample funus,
either out OF their own resources or
~ ause OF their credit in redisrount-
inx paper secured by cotton. to en-
able them to aid materially IN con +.
serving the values OF this great crop.
It has often. ha ppened heretofore that
the farmer has been forced to sell MS
cotton to meet the demands o. MS
creditors. or. In cases where he hid
no pressing demands and found tho
price unsatisfactory, that he found
himself unable to negotiate loans
upon his warehouse receipts. unless.
perhaps. at very high rate OF i3tsr-
est. The bankers and merchants Of
the South have At this tima great
as well as great re-
