COTTON CONDITIONS

In spite of weather news that
would ordinarily have caused sharp
advance in the Cotton Market, we
have had only temporary strength
from time to time during the past
week.
Reports, in some cases, say that
rains will prevent the usual August
deterioration which is so often due
to drought and excessive heat Where
cotton is open the grade will suffer
and this may be construed as bull
'lish argument on Exchange deliveries,
because Of the high standard re-
quired. On the other hand, it will
add to the large amount of low
grades now burdening the trade and
which have proved tofbe a drug on
the market recently.
World affairs have dominated rath-
er than day to day conditions. The
peace of the world-or at least of
Europe, has again been jeopardized

oy the Russian-Polished situation.
billions of English citizens are
threatening drastic action should the
government take arms against Soviet
Russia. German railroad employees
reiuse to carry military supplies to
,aid the hard pressed Polish armies,
and France alone has taken steps to
stay the tide of Bolshevism.
Exchange has declined. The finan-
cial depression in Japan has led to
the cancellation of large orders for
cotton, and it is reported that ship
ments Of American cotton from Japan
nave recently been sold and delivered
in England.
Last. but by no means least, is the
money situation in this country. The
percapita wealth of America is pro.
Dahly greater than at any time in our
history, but money is hard to borrow
and it is practically impossible ia
borrow on commodities placed in
warehouse, either to await highe,
prices or to allow a more even dis.
trlbution during the year. This fact
above all others. may have an un-
favorable influence during the cror
moving months.
