THE PRICE OF COTTON

TWO years ago this fall, when the 'buy-abae move
ment under way to the present is not lar cry
But in that brief span have witnessed the price OF cot
ton jump practically three times the amount tor whch
it was selling at that time From drug that market
it has risen in price to point which makes one OF the
most valuable crops in the agricultural catalogue
An increasing number OF people asking why lhey
cannot understand the marked fluctuations which have
characterized the cotton market short space OF time
First and foremost must bear in mind that when
the "buva bale" movement the price was unduy
depessed by conditions growing of the war involving
the principal nations Of Europe England had conman-
deecd of her merchant marine, and as result cH
ports had practically stopped All foreign demand had
been shut off Germany was hcmmed in and the allies
too busy with other matters give immediate attention to
cotton imports
But when the situation incident to the outbreak OF the
war clarified and it that cotton was quite as
essential commodity in times we'll as IN peace the
foreign demand revived and the price began advancing
The foreign demand has grown stronger month by
month from that day to this % r
We cannot find a satisfactory explanation here, how
ever for the present price of In order to do that
we must take into account the apparent SUOUO-bale
shortage in the crop for the current year as we'll as the
readjusment of financial system, which admits OF
much wider extension of credit than have ever known
in the past The decentralization OF credit incident to
the federal act has proven great boon to
the grower. lie longer wholly at the mercy
of the comparative handful of spectators controlling the
money of the country In word with an abundance OF
money available the farmer which enables him TO hold
his product for more favorable market buyers for The
mills have to understand that they Longer
force the cotton grower TO dump his crop the marke
during the first few fall months and accept price for thu
barely above the cost of production. SO they are
buying now price determined by the law of supply
and demand instead OF forcing the to sell at their
price
No say with any very definite assurance, owing
TO the revolution wrought in economic conditions through
out the world by the war how long the price of cotton vii
soar but it is safe bet that il our planters do
again lose their heads and utilize every available io
cotton production, the price will remain at profitable
figure for good many years to come.
