THE STRANGE CASE OF COTTON.

Considerable eurprlse Is being expressed at
what ia dcnominated the strange action Of the
cotton market A fow months ago there was
an apparent surplus of cotton. which made It
almost impossible to sell the staple for price
sufficient to cover cost and carriage. Tho pre-
dictation was made that not until foreign credits
and exchange had been stabilized could Ameri-
can growers expect profitable price for their
product.
And now with the new cotton crop beginning
to move to market cotton IL selling at n splen-
did price and going up. But there Is no mys-
tory about It at all II is perfectly natural
phenomena. For the new cotton crop is short.
alarmingly short but for the carry-over from
the last two years. And IT is the law OF supply
and demand operating naturally which is send
ing the price of the staple higher and higher.
II has been very bad year for cotton pro-
duction First, there was very small acreage
planted. The crop, too, was late, due to sea
sonal set backs and conditions. Heavy rains
during the growing period stimulated the plant
at the expense OF the fruit, then pests OF all
kinds claimed their day, In addition to the
boil weovl. which ravished great areas, the
army worm made It's appearance at an early
date and not only stripped the stalks OF all
foliage, but attacked the young and tender
bolla thue destroying thousands OF bales
The Increasing price simply means that there
is not a visible supply OF cotton equal to the
visible demand. Therefore there is active com
petition In the purchasing OF the staple. And
all this came about without mere man having
very much to do with It, Immutable laws are
powerful both for good and bad.
