Avery's Letter

The cotton market during most of the week has been influenced favorably by an increas sed spot demand. which has had the effect of stimulating the future mar kets and caused some slight change in sentiment among the bear element, re- sultlng in the covering of some of their short commitments.
 The weekend figures did not quite come up to expectations. This, together with persistent reports of increased acreage in both belts, caused large realizing of profits on long cotton today.
 MT. Harding's speech, seriously warn- ing the farmers of what they might ex- pect if they increased their acreage. was taken to mean that such increases were imminent and was construed bearishly.
 My personal inquiries confirm me in believing that increases are contemplated and if this absolute folly is persisted in, hope cotton will go to cents, as the price seems to be the only part of eco monies that the farmer can understand. or will try to understand.
 If mere intimation that the reports of increased acreage can take nearly dol lar bale off the price. would like to ask some of them what they think the actual acreage figures would do to the price.
 have written on this subject steadily for three months; Mrs. Mathis has talked it continuously from one end of the state to the other, and now MT. Harding says the final word on the subject and if the farmer persists in spite of these efforts, I repeat I hope cotton goes to cents which it will do. mark me.
 On the other hand, he has it within his power to put prices up not only for this year but for several years He is him decide what he wants.
