tWng Mr. Hester's Figures. to Bc
faddle the Public Thinks Growers
Made a Mistake In Putting on a
Tim Limit.
.To the, Editor of The Observer:
The bear have resorted to all sorts
schemes to bring about the recent
decline in the cotton market. The lead
ing representative has Issued many
circulars, and used th figures of Mr.
Hester, of the Jtfew Orleans Cotton
exchange,' to' mystify and befuddle the
public. He might properly be called
an "equivoeator,'" because an equivo
cator Is one who conceals the rest
thing by the one he puts forth. In his
efforts to. make this crop look as big
aa possible in the minds of fhe people
he says Mr, Hester makes the weight
of this crop Sltf pounds per bale and on
A 10,000,000 bale crop at that weight we
would have a crop of 10,380,000 hales of
500 pounds each. He never said any
thing about "Mr. Hester statins- the
weight was 62S pounds per bale last
vear.
Figuring last yeat's crop the same
way, we had a crop of 14,187,560 bales.
The world used last year's crop and
the best authorities claim that Eng
land will use 240,000 to 600,000 bales
more than last year. The balance of
the world will use as much more,
Then what difference does it make
whether this crop is 10,300,000 or 11.000,
000 bales? We Will not have enough cot
ton to supply the mills by some 8,000,
000 bales.
I think the Cotton Growers' Associa
tion made A big mistake in setting the
price at 15 cents and limiting the time
to 90 days, because it has practically
stopped business and caused an attack
by the bears that would not have tak
en place If the mandate had gone forth
to hold the cotton and refuse to sell for
less than a given price, without the
time limit. ' Let the proclamation be:
"Hold your cotton, hold your cotton
and keep on holding your cotton, until
the price goes to that agreed upon
by the farmers' association."
Conditions warrf.r.t much higher
prices. Cotton is no higher to-day, at
12 cents, with silver bullion at 65 centa
an ounce, than it was at S cents in
1895, when silver was 27 cents an
ounce. Increased basic money cheap
ens money and enhances the value of
commodity., AH the farmer has to do
now is to take a bull-dog grip on his
cotton and go to sleep until some
hungry bear knocks at his door and
wakes him to buy aia cotton and at
the farmer's own Price.
