COTTON At NEW
SEASON HIGHS

NEW YORK, Feb. 9 G.N.S0. J..
After some hesitation at the open
ing, cotton futures resumed the
advance today. moving up to new
high marks for the season.
The market was forced to alb
sorb heavy spot house and south
ern selling in initial dealings, also
some profit taking.
The domestic and continental
trade and brokers acting for Jap
anese interests were principal
buyers. There was a small amount
Of short covering.
A good deal of speculative buy
ing came into the ring as the
morning progressed. These opera
tionS were based on the theory
that the market by selling a point
or two lower on the first call,
and failing to make an overnight
gap" in the uptrend. was all set
for another major advance.
Overnight adviceS from the
Cotton Belt reported the basis,
that is, the relationship Of spots
to futures, as even stronger, and
one report stated it was the high
est ever known in relation to the
supply.
Spot merchants were said to be
securing the South for desirable
cotton with which to round out
commitments they had made with
Spinners.
At midday. the list was up 8
to 10 points, with March up 8
at 1918, May up 10 at 1885, July
up 8 at 1880, October up 10 at
1886, and December up 9 at 1882.

Haney Answers Many
Readers Questions

owners" Of stocks merely make
a small down payment, and they
get sold out when they can't put
up more margin"
Constant reader" asks, HAS
not the weight Of the gold dollar
been reduced 20 per cent and the
value Of gold been increased 40
per cent, so the dollar Is still
worth the same as before, and
nothing is changed?"
No: that is not a correct state
ment Of the case.
1t is true that the weight Of
that theoretical gold dollar
(Which no one can see or use)
has been reduced Al per cent.
1t is also true that the govern
ment will buy gold in certain
cases for $35 an ounce, which is
about 10 per cent more dollars
than 1t used to pay.
But note that the dollars"
which It pays are just paper
dollars. They are not a. good
a. the dollars which IL used to
pay. They won't buy a. much
as they used to. So the higher
government price" for gold
does not mean that the value
Of gold is really higher. It Just
means that the government
thinks that paper dollars have
fallen in value.
So the dollar is not worth the
same as before.
You can see that gold is not
increased in value" when you
trade gold for other commodi.
ties-wheat, copper, shoes. etc.
Gold metal does not exchange
for any more commodities than
it used to. In fact, commodity
prices measured in terms Of gold
have not risen.
That is the strange thing about
our monetary policies. We are
doing things to the dollar, so
that wheat, for example. sells for
more dollars; but the same
wheat exchanges for no more
gold, nor for more copper or
other commodities.
We mark paper dollar "prices"
up, but the values" of goods and
labor in relation to one another
remain much the same.
It is as If a farmer said, II
have a deficit. 1 will, therefore,
cut my bushel baskets down Al
per cent, so I will have more
bushels. I will then pay my
creditors in SO per cent bushels" !"

ana WHO pun
chase stocks with some reference
to their merit and their chances
for sustained strength.
When a man Is merely gam
bling in stocks, he waits till the
market is boiling. Then he
plunges in, on a thin margin,
and he is forced out in the first
sharp reaction. That Is weak
buying"
But when a man becomes con-
vinced that conditions are tend
ing to make a bull market and
decides to take a position on the
long side, he should first con-
slider the kind Of stock which is
likely to benefit most by the ex-
isting conditions. He should
then figure what the stock is
worth.
Unless he really feels able to
do these things, he has NO
business to buy any stocks.
But by this time, the market
may have had a sharp rise. Then
instead of plunging in while the
water is hot, this man waits for
the inevitable reaction" and
finally gets his stock cheaper. He
is then able and willing to hold
for a while.
That is what I mean by good

OF course, all stocks are
