5000, OO0.Bale Shortage
Is Estimated for Year
Ending Next Month
By William Whittam

Il has been held for some time by
those who are best qualified 20 judge
that the current season will witness
unusual price fluctuations. and that
"scares" will be unusually prevalent.
Be that as IL may. the situation IS
disquieting. Granting that the acre
age planted this season is slightly
greater than last year. area, and with
the condition on May % placed at 6s.e
per cent, slightly better than the $40
figure Of n year ago, II must be borne
in mind that both these fall far short
Of the ten.yesr average Of 74.6.
With the boil weevil admittedly a
progressively serious menace, there is
the further peril 20 the trade Of a
constantly increasing demand for the
staple. The world has been economic
ing for some years. and il ia at least
debatable as TO whether the time is
not approaching when the minimum
needs OF mankind will have passed the
available supply Of this the cheapest
material for its necessary clothing
And there is no substitute 81 as low
or any price.
One may. and indeed should, dis
count the always pessimistie fore
casts Of the paid officials Of the cot
ton growers organizations. Neverthe-
less. there are stern facts which must
be faced at this juncture. First, the
consumption Of the domestic mills
during the nine months ended April
30 this year we're 4,449.s23 bales. COM
pared with 3,57e,s23 bales in the cor
responding period Of 1921. Similarly,
exports during the first period were
4.qq6.s53 against 4,224,2s2 in the sec
ond nine months.
Another aspect Of the situation is
that the consumption Of cotton OF all
kinds By the mills OF the world is put
al within round million bales Of the
highest ever recorded-thst OF 10000
600 bales during the crop year 1878
in a recent report Of the Department
Of Commerce. and that the same re-
port. based on a world survey, esti-
mates that the world consumption Of
cotton Of all kinds during the year
ending July 81 next will have been
fully q 100000 bales. which will be
5000 900 bales more than was pro-
duced during the crop year.
These figures are in part confirmed
BY the later report Of the Bureau OF
the Census. which gives the worlds
production Of commercial cotton, ex-
elusive Of linters, grown in 1921 as APP
proximately 1877 900 bales Of ais
pounds each. and the consumption at
i6.ei4,000 bales for the year ended
July 81 OF last year.
Another cause for disquietude is
found in the falling away Of Texas in
productivity. That state, with more
than q third Of the acreage picked last
season, had a yield Of only 80 pounds
to the aero while the average for the
entire cotton belt was l24.5 pounds 10
the acre.
Hitherto consumption has always
broadly followed the price of the fiber.
When IL was cheap more passed into
use. while when II was in the Dos de-
mand dropped of notably. mention
this because it has been expected that
