SEES WORLD BARE OF COTTON NEXT SUMMER Seoeter Smith. MCmMm, Ah lyeas Cnee Report—Waata Farmers' Beak* Washington, Nov. l<r.—Prediction >f a world shortage of cotton next >umm. r was made in the aeaate to J»y by Senator Smith, Democrat, tooth Carolina, in a speech analyzing :oc situation on cotton consumption or October, made public by the aae iub bureau. Should tho rata of eea • umptioi) fur tho ensuiag meaths tqual or exceed that of October, he {a^dataaee ^t-tt #r», asserting that it seemed the only hope for the agricultural interacts lay In the formation of their own co operative selling agencies aad the es tablishment of their own banks. He added that relief legislation thus far bad been converted aacb time lute •breast works behind which the in terexts opposed to the farmers in trenched Usemsctves to destroy the farmers’ profits.” Evporta and domestic consumption of cotton for October aggregated 1, MKI,0(10 bales, which, according to the senator, consulates a record for monthly disposition of the product. “At that rate.” he continued, "tho erporlr and consumption between last August 1 and next August 1, will be mom than 16,090,000 bales, and the best estimnto of the visa bio supply thnt can be obtained shows only about 12,600,000 and 12,000, OllO bales.” A carry over of about 6,000,000 bales was estimatad by Mr. Wealth, while this year's crop he belltvod would not excetd 7,009,000 bales, lie mads hia figures liberal, he added, but found ne way to bring the two totals anyway near together. Mr. Smith reviewed the many "cries" which, he said, had forced the cotton prices down and told the sen ate that all of the "menacing things fnrseen by tile trade, including the rail strike.” bad been put out of tha way. yot the price remained lew. Be declared, however, that the country never woeld see cotton sell as low again, expressing the belief that Am erican crops hereafter wouldfall be low the 10 year average, which he said was slightly above 12 Bullion bales.
