HELM SEES 80
CENT COTTON SOON
Alabama Senator Says That
American Crop Is Five Mil
lion Bales Short.

Senator Helm. OF Alabama, be-
lieves that cotton would sell higher
in a short time. He bases this pre-
diction, first. ON the short crop. the
fifth one In this country In recent
years, and next. upon the apparent
determination Of thousands Of cotton
growers 10 hold their output indeg-
itely for a profitable price.
'"rhere can be no doubt" MIR. Helm
said today. about cotton prices GO
ing higher. There has never been
such a cotton holding movement in
the South az we find there today. Our
people simply cannot afford To sell at
prices now offered. There will be 10
cotton sold until the price goes back
to 30 cents and above.
The farmer the merchant and the
banker In the cotton growing states
have done what bear nipulators
and spinners have forced tn m to do.
They have tied up the spot cotton
market as IL has never bo,n tied up
before.
We have II in our power to compel
prices that will cover the cost OF
production and yield a proft, and we
are going TO do II. Cotton viii sell
for 80 cents before January !.
This IL the NTH small cotton crop
in the United States. . he Amer can
crop this year Is 5000. 900 bal's short
OF what the world demands OF US.
''The tremendous slump in the
prices offered for cotton IL respon-
sible for a half million bales be ng
left In the fields. The final gin re-
port will show that We g,nned up to
November, 81 per cent OF the crop Of
