COTTON PRICES
MOVE HIGHER

NEW YORK, Nov. 7 GNs).
A steady tone prevailed in the
cotton market today, as futures
moved somewhat higher in typical
e-bureau dizziness. The list
failed to respond Fundamentally
to a rise of almost 81 a bale in
the Liverpool market, opening S
points higher and holding around
initial levels throughout the fore
noon. Demand came principally
from Liverpool, the Continent,
Wall Street and the domestic
trade. Spot firms and the South
were on the selling side. The
total volume of business, however.
was extremely light and proved
an obstacle to those working for
a sustained advance in prices.
Around the noon hour, futures
were up to points, with Decem-
Der up 4 at 1907, May up 5 at
1919, and July up 4 at 1917.

sA1oGS41CC VI IAAO
cotton farmer is threatened by a
folish attempt to fly in the face
of the law of supply and demand.
The South has produced large
cotton crops and there is a huge
surplus of what used to be called
1.-THE fleecy staple" What has
the Federal Government done
about it? Has it left the law
of supply and demand work
things out and move the crop?
No. Instead Of that, it has
said: "YOur supply is large, SO
we will reduce the quantity de-
manded by fixing SO high a
price that few can afford to
buy it,"
It has said: "Your supply is
large, but we will hold the
price up as though the supply
were small"
Furthermore, the Federal Gov
eminent has said: "You have
been producing too much cot
ton, so we will put the price up.
thus tempting your farmers to
produce still more. We will pass
laws forbidding you to produce
as much cotton as formerly, but
we will raise prices so as to
make it as difficult as possible
for you to obey them"
So the South has seen the i'm
portant foreign markets for its cot
ton slip away, while its excess sup
ply is held in futile abundance.
And the same government which
deals out credit to carry the mil
lions of unsold bales, deals out
doles to the unemployed cotton
hands.
There are some so countries
other than the United States
which produce cotton, and last
year the foreign production
reached a new high record for all
time. All indications point to a
still larger volume of foreign
growths to come. This is one re-
suit of our price fixing.
The chief foreign cotton areas
as in India, Egypt, China and
Brazil. Each of these has stepped
up it's production and can still pro-
duce much more.
At the same time, our exports
of cotton have steadily declined.
So far this season they have
amounted to about half what they
were last year.
Our domestic mill consumption
= has also been limited by the sub
Stitution of cheaper fibers, and
the high cost of producing cotton
goods, which restricts both do
nestle and foreign demand for
the manufactured product.
All this is an economic crime.
The plain fact is that cotton
values are not as high as cotton
prices have been artificially
'fixed." One large section of the
country has been permanently in
jured. The cotton market has
been murdered in cold blood.
Free exchange is the life of a
market, and this can exist only
when supply and demand can
reach a balance through the price.
Prices have a job to do
functions to perform. One of
these is to fall low enough to
prevent excess supplies, by at
tracing buyers. Another is to
shut off excessive production,
by making it Improbable to
produce. When we prevent
prices from performing their
function, we kill markets.
You may say, well, the cotton
farmers wanted price fixing" I
say the responsibility lies with
the "leader" who gave them what
they wanted. Wise men do not
expect all individuals to know
what is best. A little education,
and a little caution in following
whimS-in short, a little read lead
ership-could easily have pre-
vented this crime.
We badly need less politics, and
more economics. We need leaders
who know economic law, and
have the political courage to obey
it.
