Ort the sume date last year, IIIC WWM,,ftV " . High prices if settled within reason- able limits during one crop year do not affect conditions adversely except for a possible though oomparatively inslg-1 nlilcant decrease in the ultimate mand for goods. ti Foreign splriner who operate some; 80 per cent, of the totl tiumlwr ul I hltfh pri. Muny i"liinn have been disrwtHed, each one of which requires for its siu- wHsfnl hwue. pructleal tiTituilnilly of action by at least a goodly proportion of cotton users. An Austrian spinner has suggested that a central commit tee be selected who shall act as agents in purchasing cotton for the mills, and that each spinner shall agree- that for each 10,000 spindles he operates tie will buy from the commit tea at least 100 bales during each season. By this plan it Is estimated that without the possibility of serious Idss the spin ners could control absolutely not less than one million bales of actual cot ton. A CORNER SMASHER. It Is very clear that If. the body of users had a million bales under their control they, could utterly ruin, nticl drive to ftimilclal perdition' any man or set of men who might attempt to paralyse the industry by cornering the) raw iimtciiui. Tne amnty to aeiiver any number of bales approaching the total controlled and held for the pur pose, by the mills, would surely be a ! permanent and adequate warning ' to market riggers.' AN AMERICAN IDEA. j Following more or less parallel lines ! to this plan of the Austrian spinner is one outlined to us by an American In terested in the same matter. The plan Is both simple, inexpensive, and seemingly would be, if curried out, very effective. It is prupoaed that each mill in this country, buy at the beginning of the season from ten bales upward, the number purchased de pending on the size of the mill. The bales so acquired shall be ware housed, and their disposition placed under the control of selected represen tatives. Against these ponrnegoliable receipts shall be issued merely as evi dence of ownership. - A SWORD OF DAMOCLES. These bales of actual cotton would be hung aa a sword of Damocles over the head of the professional operator, and whenever the body appointed to guard against speculative, entirely ar bitrary and wind-bag price boosting-, should decide that concerted uctlon was being taken by the parasites of the market to bleed both grower and consumer, then the selling of this im mense reserve supply would kill for a long time all thought of future at tempts to employ similar tactics. THE CALIBRE OF THE GUN. . The calibre of the own."' and the weight of reserve ammunition can be measured from the statement that even reasonably generous joint action. wouia accumulate somewnere between 150,000 and 250,000 bales... This for the share of the United States In the project would be a pretty big stick to control the market with. There could be no selling andaklr. profits on this reserve. It would be kept invoilate either until used for protective purposes or the daneer line of any crop, year was passed. 'ine cost would be small even under the most unfavorable circumstances. ind In the opinion of many cotton users It would be the most practicable ina effective check upon the successors of Morris Ranger.
