Cotton Sold Last Year.

"Under these conditions, before the
1920 crop reaches the market there
will be days that not contract will
be for sale on the New York exchange.
An enormous amount of cotton was
sold last year by direct contract to
Europe for far lower prices and this
cotton must be delivered. Certain
firms in America sold an enormous
amount Of cotton through the New
York exchange and certain large Liv-
erpool firms have sold an enormous
amount of cotton in like manner,
through the New York exchange
These sales have been postponed and
switched from time to time. However,
this switching cannot continue ildefi-
nitcly. Such switching on account of
the enormous discount asked, adds to
the losses. Even were the spot hold
ers so foolish as to turn loose their
spot cotton under existing conditions,
so as to furnish those who sold cotton

OF twelve months instead of rushing
the. crop upon the market, regardless
OF price, in a period of three months.
For this purpose warehouses are be-
ing established in every cotton grow
ing county Of the cotton belt, owned
and conducted by the cotton produ-
ers, operated under the State or fed
eral warehouse act. For the purpose of
carrying this marketing over the full
period, he has wisely decided to re-
move 100000 bales of good grade
cotton off the market and place same
IN warehouse until next July or Au

OF the crop will be slowly marketed

SUPPLY AND DEMAND LAW
Spectators Face Absolute Reapinp of
What They Have Sown, Is Pre-
diction.

Columbia, Nov. 21.-Conditions will
exist on the New York exchange long
before the next crop comes in that will
prove extremely painful to the shorts
a revelation to the trade, and will re-
suit in forcing complete changes in
the custom Of handling cotton on the
New York cotton exchange" says j.
Skottowe Wannamakcr, president of
the American Cotton Association, in a
statement issued here today.
Today there is no commodity in
greater demand than cotton; the sup
ply will be absolutely inadequate to
the demand. If supply could be drawn
from paper cotton this condition would
not exist. For more cotton than exists
today has been sold by direct aslcs
and by contracts on the exchange.
When this ctoton is demanded, from
whence will it come? Cotton is q long
growing plant, and it will be impos-
sib!e to produce it until the end of a
full growing season; in the meantime
what protection will the shorts have?
They are facing an absolute certainty
Of reaping what they have sown. They
have sown the wind and will reap the
whirlwind. NJ longer will the wind,
