In ordinary times the new cotton
crop report would be hailed as a
calamity and there would be as
much wild talk about the poor go
ing without clothes as there has
been about starvation rations and
peliagra. in tho South. A crop of
100000 bales will be the smallest
crop on record and the possibility
of a noticeable world shortage
exists.
Cotton keeps we'll and the grow
ers of the South are adding their
surplus to the now crop in their
estimates and saying that they
have the equivalent Of normal
crop OF about 100000 bales. Such
a conclusion is faulty. however, and
to measure the condition of the
South thereby is likely to lead to
some disappointment later. s.
The new crop has been. produced
at much lower. cost than that Of
last year and the surplus of the
former year represents n much
smaller net income to the grower
than the new crop will. Even with
better prices such as many expect
the new crop cannot return near so
large a total sum when sold as
would a normal production. and
when the season Is over there may
occur another complaint from the
growers Of too low price. "
The only check to this will be
a strong advance In the price of cot
ton this fall. We may now consider
some of the factors that will deter
mine the fall price
Export demand has been made a
great deal of during the discussion
of financing foreign trade. June ex-
ports of this year were twice that
of last year, 439.59O bales against
241.449 bales in 1890 but the total
FOR the fiscal year was only 5.409,-
O2 bales against 6.915.40s bales in
1920 and the total for the year 1919
was within $4,000 bales of the pres
ent year. 1t is generally assumed
that Europe must continue to take
increasing amounts. of cotton to re-
place the shortage of clothing. but
here again We do not know the real
demand.
The foreign purchases of cotton
cloths were almost as great in last
fiscal year as in 1919. but far below
1920; 566,O00,00O yards compared to
S67,0OO,000 yards We may hardly
expect this demand to continae SO
strong since there are many hands
in Europe which can turn raw cotton
into goods at relatiely low cost
There Is no doubt that the ex-
port market will be satisfied so far
as credit can be safely extended.
The War Finance Corporation has
been seeking for opportunities to

pective crop appears reasonably
certain, without serious price de-
clines. But this cannot prevent a
season of complaint from the cot
ton-growing sections as u result
of the reduced income. This. Will
be caused chiefly by: the reduced
purchasing power of cotton: -
The purchasing power of cotton
at the farm price on December 1,
1890. was 6S per pound. which was
the lowest since 1894. Since De-
cember the price has declined still
further, until at present the cotton
grower has the smallest asset in
a bale of cotton in the history of
the industry in America.
The crops that are grown in the
place OF cotton are not cash crops,
but stock feeds or other crops that
may vary greatly in quantity and
market value. The cotton grower
is not trained in conserving them,
and the loss is always heavy. AS =
rule, the feed crops viii not return

This is why the loss of cotton acre

South.

mates was I.0SS,760.O00 pounds, or

FIRM UNDERTONE
TO COTTON MART
Crop Holds Within Narrow
Limits; Discouraging Re-
ports Continue.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The cot
ton market had a steady under
tone during most of the morning,
and at one time was over &c a
pound above the previous close. The
market held genrally within narrow
limits. rejecting the general in
disposition to trade prior to the
government report. Private reports
continue to emphasize a very seri-
Gus state of the growing crop in
the Southwest and in Georgia. IN
both places the weevil is talked of
as being more numerous than for
several years. The Liverpool mar
ket was stronger, in sympathy with
American advices. and brokers on
this side acting for English account
bought early. The distressing CROP
reports do not appear to induce
new buying. Market opinions con-
tinue buhish, although commission
houses generally recommend con-
servatism OH the other side.
Trade conditions are decidedly
mixed. In India. England, and
America there is I spasmodic de-
mand, at times very active. Buyers
do not anticipate their wants, and
come in the market only for needs
at the most two months ahead. The
mills, therefore, do not purchase
raw cotton futures to cover any
prospective demand, but continue
to look for bargains in the leading
spot market of the South. In Man
chester the demand is Influenced a
good deal by exchange. which con-
tinues to fiuctuate and create un-
certainty in the dry goods market.
a factor of considerable import
ance is the estimate by the Bureau
OF Markets o: a 10,713,724-bale
carry-oyer of cotton on July 81.
This compares with 10.64s.550 bales
estimated some months ago. The
largest amount of cotton in the
United States is reported in pubic
stores and congresses, apparently
awaiting a foreign market A good
part of this Is said to have been
finaSccd by the War Finance Cor
poration and is awaiting shipment.
The trade, however. continues o.
the opinion that before prices can
show a pronounced upward move
ment the consuming centers of the
world will have to become more ac-
tive than at the present. 1t Is said
that in Manchester. mill owners are
considering going back to half time
rather than operate at a loss.

interest has been created in grain

Buyers say there was only one
time during the last season when
wheat was as low as s102 to the

during part of last April. 1t seems
impossible that the association

in Washington where the average
price paid farmers was less thah
