The man who has his cotton up as
security for loans, is concerned as to
whether the security will meet the
loan and the banker who is carrying
the loan is more or less concerned for
the same reason. OF the thousands of
bales of cotton still unsold the interests
in much of it are many and varied and
in many cases the interest OF the
owner of the title is nil Unless there is
a considerable advance in price.
What do you thing about cotton? p

why of course just don't know"
Then he continued. "A certain large
farmer who makes more than two
hundred bales year, or rather who
has been making that much and who
has that much on hand now said to me
today: I believe 1t Is more trouble to
sell a crop Of cotton than it Is to make
it. That was a rather new way Of
putting It; but / believe he was more
than half right.
"Of course l want cotton to go up. I
believe it ought to go up, and / believe
1t will go up; but at the same time 1
know from past experience it can go
down. The crop has turned out to be
larger than we thought it was going to
be; but still it is far short Of the
worlds requirement. Considering the
cost Of making the crop and the ex-
tent Of the need to say nothing of the
present demand, there Is no question
of the fact that the price should be
higher. But how can you tell? The
general financial condition Of Europe is
an unknown quantity. The exchange
question is a problem that the average
man is unable to solve. Some Of the
spinners are known to have large
stocks of cotton on hand-enough to
last them until September. Others are
running from hand to mouth, unable to
buy ahead, and afraid to go into the
market, even if they had the money.
There is no especial strength of the
goods market at this time, and nothing
to encourage a great deal of risk on
the part of the spinners. The future
contract market is low; but there . is
no considerable amount OF actual cot
ton being bought on a basis of that
market. So far as this section Is con-
cerned, don't think an advance Of two
cents pound would amount to great
deal in the way of moving cotton. But
to tell you the truth 1 don't know, l
have no we'll defined conviction as to
whether to buy or sell. 1t is a gamble
either way; but l am inclined othink
that selling will be the more dangerous
gamble"

THE PACIFIC QUESTION
Text of the Three Power Pact Agreed
Upon,


The text of Article XIX, of the naval
treaty, dealing with Pacific fortifica-
tions, was made public last Monday
night as follows:
The United States of America, the
British empire and Japan agree that
the status quo at the time of the
signing Of the present treaty with re-
gard to Notifications and naval bases
shall be maintained in their respective
territories and possessions specified
hereunder:
1. The insular possessions which the
United States now holds or may here
after acquire in the Pacific ocean, ex-
cept (A) those adjacent to the coast Of
the United States, Alaska and the
Panama Canal Zone, not including the
Aleutian Islands and OBJ the Hawaiian
Islands.
Hongkong and the insular possess
ions which the British empire now
holds or may hereafter acquire in the
Pacific ocean east Of the meridian Of
10 degrees east longitude except (A)
those adjacent to the coast of Cana
da, (B) the Commonwealth Of Austral-
ia and it's territories and Co New
Zealand.
8. The following insular territories
and possessions of Japan in the Pacific
ocean, to wit: The Kurile Islands, the
Bonin Islands, Amami- Oshima, Loo
choo Islands, Formosa and the Pcsca-
dores and any insular territories or
possession in the Pacific ocean which
Japan may hereafter acquire.
The maintenance Of the status quo
under the foregoing provisions implies
that no new Notifications or naval
bases shall be established in the terri
tories and possessions specified; that
no measures shall be taken to increase
the existing naval facilities for the re-
pair and maintenance of naval forces
and that no increase shall be made in
the coast defense of the territories and
possessions above specified. This re-
striction, however, does not preclude
such repair and replacement Of worm
out weapons and equipment as is GUS
tcmary in naval and military estab-
| liShments in time of peace.

Price of Cotton.

There is probably more concern
just now over the price of cotton than
any other one thing-not the price of
the cotton crop to be made next sum-
mer; but the one, two or three crops
already on hand. The farmer is con-

banker is concerned, and it would be
difficult 10 say which IS concerned most
seriously. The man who has his crop
