Price
Ceiling on
Cotton Goods
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics, y. Y. University
There is in this country a lit.
orally huge accumulation Of raw
cotton. There is probably a
larger productive capacity for
spinning and weaving than we
can possibly use. Under these
circumstances one would sup
pose that the last case of gov
eminent price-fXing would oc-
cur in cotton manufacturing.
But tho fact is that one Of
Mr. HcnderSon'S first few price
edlctS concerns cotton yarn.
While details have not appeared.
il has been announced that the
price Of one class of fine combed
yarn will be sharply cut. The
suggestion is made that this
may serve AS a base price"
with reference 10 which other
cotton textiles may be regu-
lated.
Thus the government, by add
ing cotton textiles 10 metals.
enters price-fxing in another
basic commodity market.

Chief Factor in Rise

This time. il is 10 he noted.
the action is caused by a price
movement for which the govern
ment itself is directly respon-
sible.
The chief factor in the rise Of
cotton textile prices has been
the effort of the government to
raise the price of raw cotton.
For years it has been accu-
mulating raw cotton and hold
ing il off the market. Now it is
pegging the price by making
loans" at a figure which in
duces farmers TO turn their cot
ton over 10 il rather than sell
IL freely in the open market.
Recently. Congress has raised
the ante by passing bill to
increase the loan TO IS per
cent of the high parity price"
This Immediately caused a rise
in the raw cotton markets and
naturally touched off an advance
IN cotton yarn and goods. When
ii finally became apparent that
the President intends TO sign the
bill. a considerable speculative
furry occurred.
To this condition, is to be
added the fact that the govern
ment's large purchases of cotton
goods for the army and navy
have been a factor in the mar
ket

Drastic Reduction
So what has been done :?

slp NIidl lbs
Instead of increasing the sup
ply. or putting a ceiling on the
raw material, the government
has merely ordered the market
price 10 stand still. Leaving the
floor free TO rise, Mr.. Hender-
son cracks down with a cell
ing
To be sure, the ceiling isn't
as broad or as hard as IL is
made TO seem. Indeed. there
are evidences that the thing is
largely designed TO have "psy-
Geological effects.
THE amount of the cut Is
referred to as a reduction from
50 cents 10 40 cents a pound,
which sounds very drastic. Actu-
ally, very little fine combed cot
ton yarn has been sold at 50
cents, the bulk Of the business
done so far having been at
prices not much out of line with
the one fixed.
Relatively little fine
combed yarn is bought and sold
as yarn Most of such yarn is
not sales yarn" but is woven
or knitted by the same concern
that spins it. which therefore
doesn't much care what the
sales yarn market is at the
moment.
