ENGLISH COTTON INTERESTS
BUYING Up COTTON

l. rom confidential foreign channels
Of information, the American Cotton
Association is advised that large Eng
l:sh cotton firms are rapidly buyinc
up cotton stored in this country to be
shipped to other countries with which
Great Britain has trade alliances. 1t
Is reported that practically half the
stocks of cotton stored at Memphis
have already been so bought and that
large quantities of the staple have
likewise been purchased at our prin-
cipal ports on the gulf
The information states that Eng
lish cotton interests at present en-
gagged in purchasing the American
staple will ship and deliver the same
to Germany and other continental
countries at big profits to themselves
British interests evidently realize that
raw cotton is Il good purchase at pre-
vailing low prices in the face of rap

and maintaining their reputation as
the most successful traders in the

In the meantime. the American cot

substantial reward for their clever
ness in handling international COM
merce.
The balance Of the short supplies
Of American cotton held in this coun-
try should be made to bring its full
market value before it passes from
the hands of the American owners.
The oft repeated contention that the
futures quotations on the New York
Cotton Exchange each day reflect the
highest market value which the con
sumng world will pay for American
cotton does not appear to hold good in
the face of the above rumors. While
the Southern growers are being forced
