COTTOJT PRICES.
Conflicting influences are always
at wors for the control of the cotton
market. They are seen low engaged
rin mighty struggle There are the
-speculators the bears trying to de
press prices, and the bulls trying to '
laise tnem. The bulls may want J
jiv.vw wvw "-"-J
unload contracts at a profit, while
the .bearers may want them lower in
order that they may buy in antici
pation of a raise. Thus the bull of
today may bethebear of tomorrow,
and yictt versa. The manufacturer

sid(5 is 'si ! ways, arrayed the producer
and with him the great public,
which wants to see cotton high even
though it may have to pay highei
for Outtou goods. At the prtsent
time the balls haye the better of the
argument, and it looks as if the
higher prices will be permanent. It
is well, in this connection, to look
the facts in the face and to realize
that there has bem. an adyance in
prices not? because the speculators
willed it bo but because the cotton
crop is uaiyersally believed to be a
short one. If this" opinion is con
firmed, prices may bs expected to
continue higo; if it should be nega
tived by the facts, a decline may be
looked.ior. But the law, of -supply
and demand is regulating prices, as
it always does. From the advance
which set in some .weeks ago and is
still maintained it ought to be ap
parent to anybody that the silver
question ha3 nothing to do with the
matter. The same coinage laws
exist now that did last year .when

not new women, to be sure and is a

HOLD YOUR COITON.
We believe it is now safe to advise
the farmers in the cotton belt to
hold their cotton as long as possible.
If you must sell, then put it on the
market slowly a little at the time.
Such advice has not always been
safe and we have hesitated, but
think i& is now settled that the crop
will not. be over 6,000,000 bales,
probably less, and the demand will
be for eight or nine million .bales.
The most liberal government and ex
pert reports show that the condition
is not above 65, and frosts and
storms may soon bring it. below that
