inclined me to take a backward look,
and the re salt la that I am of the
opinion we ought to be paying more
attention to tho crop that la In tha
ground than to tha price that la held
upon tho bulletin board tallkyr what
•art year’s crop la selling foe. Ac
cording to tho bulla tin tho crop of
•Ml amounted to 7>M,641 hales of
500 pound*. This Is the smallest crop
of cotton iarv.rteci ia *7 yours. This
la not half tha crop of 1(14, and Just
about half of the crop of 1011. In
the ten years prior to the war thia
country averaged five miBloe bales
consumption and the rose of the cot
ton was exported. Since the war be
gun the consumption of cotton In
tho United States ran much higher,
same extent offsetting the Isaaea
ed export movement, but before tha
war our normal export of cotton waa
almost aa muck aver a period of aov
eral yean aa Us whole crop of last
year.
I" the winter while in New Orlrtna
I wu two or three time* in the of
Ace of Colonel Hester, whose cotton
statistics are the basis of practically
cotton welculationa. Colons! Ha
ter predict! that if conditions do
not change pre would before tong see
a cotton fsmine.^At that time rotten

Since than It has corn* op to twenty
two and although it hse dropped hath
to twenty-one, twrnty-ooe seats a

ty-two cents, the present price lo eig
;. ndlcant,
Tha old world is beginning to call
for cotton, and it is going out In a
strengthening stream. Business is
picking up io this country. Unem
ployment has given way to 1 nr reared
activity at the mills. Hands are be
ginning t^rarn more money. People
have more to boy with, and aaeh
succeeding week will show a bigger
pay roll throughout the nation. Am
erican mills will be calling for their
five million or more baloa of cotton
os before die war, and probably it
will be more. That points to a short
asnoont for the export trade, which
Is gradually strengthening Its posi
tion. It is time to pay serious atten
tion to Colonel Hester's prediction
of a cotton famine.
