ton, however. Is SO much stronger than
was the case a year ago. and financial
and other conditions are so very much
more favorable, that there can be no
doubt that If the South will keen cool
and refrain from merely weakening its
own position by unwise action, the
present nervousness regarding the
market for the growing crop will soon
disappear.
Even in the face of all the adverse
conditions during the last twelve
months the average price OF cotton has
pected for a 1900, 900 bale crop had
there been no war. and there is every
reason to believe that the average
price OF cotton during the next twelve
months will be higher
The real question is: Will Southern
merchants and Southern bankers and
all others Interested in Southern trade,
cooperate in securing for the cotton
producers the benefit OF this average
price, and will the cotton producers
themselves do their part?
My knowledge of Southern char
acter and Southern business conditions,
justifies a confident belief that an af-
frmative answer will be given"
