Something more than 50 per
cent of the cotton produced this
year was sold by growers before
November /. This amount is
something more than $500, 900
bales. 1t brought to the pro-
ducers an average price of about
$135 bale. Ore December 1 this

Mills apparently will need
during the year August 1-July
81 a total of 100000 bales Of
cotton. Their requirements for
the three months August-Sep-
tember-O October were 100000
bales. Yet the producers dumped
onto the market IN tnOSe three
months 100000 bales for which
there was no current need. How
much higher would the price of
cotton have been to the pro-
ducers had they offered to the
trade no more than the amount
required for current consump-
ton?
In the month Of November, to
supply mill needs of 100000
bales. 100000 bales were sold
by producers.
So, in four months producers
dumped 100000 bales when the
spinning demand was for only
100000 bales.
In December another 1,400,-
900 bales will have been thrown
on the market by producers, and
