Cotton Market

The cotton shipping season is grad
ually approaching, and the market re-
mains very even, in spite of trouble
that has been experienced in getting
the product to European consumers.
The market has settled down to ex-
pectatiOn of a considerable extension
Of the war period, and the prices that
prevail are not based on expectations
of conditions following the war, when
much better prices will be expected.
The heavy destruction of shipping
during recent weeks is one of the fac
tors that tends to hold the price down
t. it's present level, and continuance
cf this for great length of time
might prove more depressing, as it
would make transportation more diff
ficult.
This years price level has proven
very satisfactory to local producers,
and there is to be a full realization
of anticipated acreage here.
