Cost Of Cotton Production

The cost of producing raw cotton will
be at least twenty cents pound this
year, according to the American Ex-
change National Bank, which savs in
it's bulletin: What is the cost Of pro-
ducing raw cotton? Talk of price hx-
ing has given point to this question.
no answer TO which will satisfy ali
concerned Some students Of agricul-
tural problems maintain that n j ten
year period farmers never make mors
than the wages of farm labor, or, in
ether words. the average farmer would
be as we'll of working for someone else
as working for him self On tn basis,
the average price represents the cost
of production, ana the average selling
price Of cotton for the ten years previ-
Gus 20 the war was about eleven and
half cents d pound Farm labor nov
receives two and 3 Quarter times the
average Of this ten-year neriod, which
makes the cost of producing cotton
about twcntv-siY cents a round for
crop of 10000 900 acres. A larye crop
would scale down the labor cost per
pound Arp yiny the same rule to
wheat, the avera-e Price Of which wa
96.2 cents for the same ten-year peri
od, the cost tn year appears to be
S2.16h cents bushel, which is closed
10 the fixed Chicago price Of 1920 a
bushel In any event, the present cost
Of labor il not over-estimated, and no
matter how large the cotton crop NAV
be, raw cotton will apparently cost
the farmer no. less than twenty cents

Americans Strike Oil
In Colombia Field
Considerable Development, in
That Country Is Expected
After War

Prospecting in the interior Of CO.
iombia by Pennsylvania oil corpora
tion for about two years past re suited
in April this year in the bringing in OF
a well that promises TO be good pro-
ducer. 1t had been claimed for long
time that land in certain sections OF
Colombia would be found to be oil pro-
ducing.
The we'll referred 20 was tapped at
q depth Of about I.500 feet, and after
passing through oil sands 500 and
1900 feet down. This well. although
Of producing from 1900 to 1000 bar
rels day Of light. asphalt-base oil,
1t is located near the Colorado
River and about thirty-fve miles east
of the Magdslena River at Barranca
Bermeja, which is about 420 miles
above the mouth OF ne latter stream.
This strike has sccentuated interest in
prospecting for oil in Colombia, for
previous efforts to develop paying wells
there have been unsuccessful. Various
wells have been drilled near Puerto
Colombia by Canadian and later by
an American company, south Of Bar
ranquilla BY a Californ a promoter. and
in the valley of the Sau RIVER by an
American company, but none have
proved producers.
A New ork company - now drilling
near Marjquita, along the La Dorado
Ex ension Raj way. 900 miles to the
south of the Tropical Oh ComPeny's
workings. Various other American
companies have done superficial ex
pioration work in Colomba and some
have secured extensive optional leases
on lands supposed 10 be oil bearing,
but only those mentioned have done
any active mechanical work
After the termination Of the war II
is expected the Gil fields of Colombia
will meet with considerable develop
ment at the hands Of American and
other foreign interests

Cotton

An accumulation OF buliish news
overnight gave the cotton market on
Saturday one Of the most active open
lngs in several weeks and advanced
prices from 65 to 79 points In early
transactions, or just about S1I a bale
above the lowest levels current just
before the government report mads It's
appearance Oh Thursday. During the
first hour October sold as high as
26.99c and December to 26.40c, while
January reached 26.3Sc Although some
reaction took place from these levels
under the natural realizing operations
the undersone rema ned very firm ali
Of the morning.
One Of the leading influences con-
nected with the advance was caole
to the effect that Lancashire cotton
mills are to De permitted 10 run more
hours weekly and TO use increased ma
chinery as the outcome of confer
ence between the Cotton Control Board
and the president of the Board of
Trade. Added significance was given
20 this news by the report earlier IN
the week that allotments had been
made for the shipment Of between
l25.000 and 100000 bales to the United
Kingdom this month.
Other factors which had a bearing
on the forenoon advance were very
favorable war adv ces and continued
bullish weather conditions in all parts
OF the belt. Private advices from
Texas said there had been steady de-
terioration ever since the government
report was published and that present
cond tions were at least points lower
than those reported on July 25.
Increasing attention was paid also
TO the Eastern belt, where showers
have persisted for some weets and
we're predicted again for over Sunday
Such heavy rains were shown IN the
details toward noon that a fresh buy
ing movement carried October up to
27.7Gc, December to 2715c and Janu-
ary to &c, which WAS from 1875 to l4s
points above the prev Gus nights close
and represented a total advance since
last Thursday morning of about Sl5 a
bale. The close Was strong and SIS 10
1873 points net higher
Print cloth sales at Fall River for
the week amounted to 100000 pieces
compared with 10000 pieces last year
while curtailment was 10000, com
pared with 300.0 900 year ago. Trad
ing AT Fall River was confined almost
entirely 10 print cloth yarn goods
Many operatives. it was said, are beng
3akan by the draft, and their places
are not being filed.

II the estimates of the several gov
ernment departments have not been ex-
cessive, there may be a serious short
age of steel. They are said TO surpass
production by abou. 100000 tons. The
Emergency Fleet Corporation has
asked for 100000 tons additional and
merely obtained promise for as
much as possible"
The War Industries Board has IN
d@rta&en survey Of consumption, in
dependent of those made bv the several
departments, with q view OF assuring
the supply for most urgent war essen
tials The needs of the government,
which early in the year were cons.d-
cred barely within the capacity of the
mills, have increased enormously, while
production has not been expanded.
From present appearances it Will be
necessary to curtail even war supplies
to conform with output, leaving moth
ing for less essential industries.
The same situation may also develop
as TO iron. Efforts are being made to
distribute the outturn 70 best advan-
tage, but even heavy production has
been insufficient TO meet requirements.
Furnaces are accepting as little bust
ness as possible, and only that which
carries government priority,
Copper producers look for higher
price after August Is. and are reluctant
TO accept business before that date.
Demand for lead eased of q little
durin~ TIE last week. but the market
remained strong at the official price Of

1t is believed that negotiations are
under way between the United States

Wheat.-The market in wheat last
week was on an enormous scale. re-
ceipts at primary points being i8.l79,-
0OO bushels, compared with l3,l02.000
the previous week and only slightly
over 100000 for Ve corresponding
week last year. A very large export
business has been done, and receipts
at seaboard ports for the week were
over 1000 600 bushels. The o'ume of
sa es for export has been so large hat
they threnten to far exceed the ton
mage available for shipment, and. in
order to avoid congestion ct this port,
the freight traffic commit ee on Sat-
Il day. under order Of the Grain Cor

weather was again favorable for the
new spring wheat crop, and with har

Corn-The corn market developed a
reactionary tendency on Saturday, and

to technical conditions, as the market
was thought to have been overbought.
