SAYS COTTON GOING
TO As CENTS A POUND

Atlanta, Ga.-That cotton will 60
to IS cents a pound by next July is
the opinion expressed here yesterday
by Norman II. johnson, president of
the Southern Wholesale Dry Goods
Association, prominent Richmond
business man and member of the
priec-hxing committee OF the War In
dustries Board.
If the farmers Of the South will
simply hold their cotton until the mar
ket is ready to pay what it is worth,
declares Mr.. Johnson, there is every
reason i'll the world why they should
get the highest price ever paid for the
tleecy staple. The reason is simple
and easy to understand Europe has
been completely stripped OF cotton by
the war. Just as seon as the textile
industries of Europe can readjust
themselves for civilian manufacture,
they will go into the market with
enormous orders for cotton, and they
will outbid everybody else in their de-
termination to get it.
Prices will not drop suddenly be-
cause OF the ending of the war, in Mr..
johnson's opinion, but will begin
gradually to decline about fifteen
