Ayery's Letter

Fears of railroad strike, prospective rains in Texas, anticipation of a bear
 sf monthly consumption report and soft Liverpool were given as some of the reasons for the weakness in cotton today. The decline was short lived, how ever, and the absorbing power of the market seemed to be enough to take care of all bear pressure, and the result was short covering carried prices about ' points above yesterdays final figures A late report this afternoon said it was understood a railroad strike would be called Saturday. If this proves true fur ther bear pressure may be seen tomor- row. The inactivity of the U-Boats. by some is regarded as being rather omin- ous fear of some sudden attack that would precipitate war keeps the mar ket at a nervous tension. This state of affairs keeps most operators close to shore, inasmuch as the fatal first of February is still fresh in their mind. The trend undoubtedly is for higher prices. The question of buying now or later is largely a question of your nerves.

Oh, you say that's just talk. 1t is
the truth. Peanuts cost much less to
produce and they form crop that can
be produced with scarcity OF labor on

possible to produce large quantities
