Linking exports to date to domestic
consumption for three months, ending
October 81, last, gives total of
1855, ,485 bales that have vanished
in consuming channels. This is just
about one-half the number of bales
promised from Southern production
until the crops of 1929 start
moving.
At the present rate OF consump-
tion-more than 100000 bales
there is no wonder mill officials are
bullish on cotton and trying to buy.
The more one deliberates on the
growing seriousness of the raw cot
ton situation, the more plain it be-
GENES why Lancashire mills have
burned cables up Of late with that
$50 0per cert curtailment per week
for mills using American cotton"
stuff. But the wise American cotton
spinner does not fail to understand
the attached words until the end of
the year"
American mills know that this is
the stage of the season when they,
and their foreign brothers, hold
down production to the minimum
off season, due to the holidays, pre-
inventory sales and general desire
on the part of every business in
terest to snow as little stock, ETC.,
on income statements as possible
when they begin new year.
Southern farmers are not allowing
such propaganda to change their
present unyielding holding Of spot
cotton.
1t does not really matter how much
speculators depress paper contracts
ON the board of the future exchanges,
just as long as the man controlling
the actual cotton does not sell on
basis of paper options.
Go to your merchant and ask him
to sell you yard of ginghams based
on the present price of October cot
ton for delivery next October. He
would think you crazy.
cme of the mills today will not
even quote a price on ginghams for
immediate delivery. They are watt
irg stabilization of raw cotton prices.
We read daily that the Western
crowd and Wall Street spectators
are "short" about 10000 to 100000
bales of cotton. We also read that
cotton dropped, or slumped because
ginnings wre a little higher or
lower than spectators expected
them to be. We also read about
cotton breaking on decline in wheat
or break in the stock market; de-
cline in price of sterling, or German
marks, and vice versa. And just as
long as spot cotton is based on the
price of cotton futures (paper) con-
tracts will the price to the farmer
be determined by spectators.
And, until Southern farmers grow.
ing cotton for living, stop hauling
their cotton to market and accepting
the price the spot buyer offers based
ON future opinions will he stay in
the background and have no voice in
determining the price he is to be
paid for his seasons labor.
This can be corrected by co-opera-
tive marketing, which is gaining
ground daily in all sections of the
belt. 1t is cooperative marketing
that is largely supporting the price
of cotton today, and forcing mills
and Gpeculators to bid against each
other for their needs.

ATLANTA, Nov. 21.-Barring un
expected commercial or political
troubles, the belief prevails that re.
gardless whether ginnings are sug-
gestive of a 100000 or 5000, 900
bales for the season, they will be in,

unit! new ~eFep is fngrtlc, says Victor
Barron, in The Georgian With the
outlook at this writing far from in
dlcatlye of normal yield next sea-
son, owing to weevil menace and ex-
tensive campaigning by bankers,
economic leaders and farm organiza
tions for South-wide increase in
diversilicaton, bulls regard cotton a
commodity that is surrounded COM
Pletely by fundamentals that indi-
cate a serious scarcity in 1922.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
last week predicted that there will
not be bale of American cotton
left Next August. he based his pre-
diction on the present rate of world
consumption.
The Census Bureau, in its October
consumption report placed domestic
consumption report placed domestic
consumption for that period at 494,-
745 bales, or the largest since July,
1920, and more than $4,000 bales
more than October a year ago, COM
pairing with 484,647 in September
last. This brought total domestic
consumption for three months of the
new season up to 1,446,485 bales,
against 1,342,485 the same period a
year ago. In October more than
34,200,000 active spindles were ac-
tive, against 33,771,988 in October
1920.
October exports totaled 874,510
bales, against 5838,725 the same
month 1920. Only once before have
exports of cotton exceeded that num-

more than 100000 were shipped to

instead OF using further Census
figures on exports and spinners'
takings, more up-to-minute statis-
tics are furnished by Hester's state,
ment for week ending Friday, Nov.
18. Hester says 206,000 bales were
exported last week, against Isl 900
the same week in 1920. This brought
total exports since August 1 up to
2,143,0O0 bales. He also placed

at $4,000 bales, or 4,415,000 bales
