1T MADE NO FORECAST.

To the Editor:
On February l this bureau issued
statement. of which | am enclosing
a copy, showing the estimated worlds
supply and distribution of cotton as
of November 80. 1923.
Certain writers and brokers have
taken unwarrantcd liberties with the
statement by adding thereto conclu-
sions or estimates of their own. which
purported to show the probable con-
sumption of cotton for the ensuing
eight months and indicating the cot
ton carry-over at the end of the pres
ent cotton year. These manipulatiions
and additions TO the statement have
misled the public into the belief that
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce has forecasted consumption
for the balance of the cotton year.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. this bureau having scrupulous-
ly avoided interpretations. analyses,
forecasts or Observation-Disclosures
tons TO be exercised by the trade it
self. and strictly apart from the duty
of this organization to supply facts
and facts alone.
The bureaus statement Of February
1. so far as it related TO the position
of American cotton in the United
States. was based upon the United
States census report of August Is,
prepared annually according TO law.
On that date spot cotton on the New
York Cotton exchange was quoted at
25.40 cents per pound and advanced
fairly steadily until on December 26 il
reached 1926 cents per pound. On
