"The boost In the price of cotton is almost the one topic of discussion in our part of . the county," said Mr. F. T. Beatty, a well-posted and Intel ligent resident of Paw Creek yester- day. "The high price, however. Is not causing the farmers to market their product as' . one might expect. They are holding tor a. still better price. The present situation is the reflection of a new era for the cotton grower. Under oiher conditions", those which formerly obtained, a rise In the price would have meant- a wholesale dumping on the market.

President of the National Glnneri,' As sociation lie-views tlie Situation Estimate of 10,662,000 Bato About lUgtit. , Special to The Observer. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. IS. Reports by telegraph" from our larger corre spondents in each State Indicate that tha heavy sinning during December hag ceased and indicate a crop not much If any over our estimate of-10 (62,000. Our figures are a little too low on South Carolina, Georgia and possibly Louisiana and too high on Texas and North Carolina, and about right on-the other States. Nearly 70 per cant of our correspondents have finished and closed down for the sea son, exipt In the Mississippi delta, where there la yet some cotton to pick. The last late crop we had was the 1901-04 crop, wo ginned from Decem ber 13th to January 16th 959,000 bales and compared to the else of the crop we will hardly gla that much this year. v" After - the 16th that year we ginned $34,000. Notwithstanding the heavy ginning during the last pe riod, the market has advanced about eighty points, , and there is a larger demand for spot cotton than eveV be fore. I advise all who have cotton, especially the good grades, to hold tight, as-tber,la every Indication pf a good advance, If the planters do not put too much' on the market, at one time. The demand for good grades Is especially heavy, I have Just learned from gooj authority that tha "big bull leader," D. J. Sully, la In the market for much higher prices. He la backed by a large syndicate of Wall Street people and there is no telling how high the market will go but If the planters will hold tight to their cotton they will get 15 cents a pound easily and may get much more. Cotton goods are 25 per cent, higher than In 1903-04, when the market went to 17.00, and if prices on cotton advance, cotton goods ran advance considerably without cut ting down the consumption under the supply. The world is short at leaat 4,500.000 bales and the best authori ties think -the consumption will be larger. in Europe than last year. The consumption in this country will prob ably be little less but taken as a whole it will be aa large the world over as last year, unless cotton goes to extremely high prices. I want to call your attention to-the boll weevil. So far the weather has bten very favorable for them to come through the winter in as good -shape as they did last year. If you will get the census report for December ISth by counties you will see that In Tex as, Louisiana -and Oklahoma, where the real shortage .and Oklahoma, wee vil districts. Red River parish, Louis iana ginned 6,000 bales compared to 17.000 last year; Caddo parish 14,000 compared to 41,000 last year? De Soto parish 55,000 compared to 15,000 last year. While parishes in the eastern part of the State where the boll wee vil has done little damage made near ly as much as lasr year. In Texas the only part not Infested by the wee vils Is northwest of Fort Worth. The ginning in Hardeman. Wilbarger, Wichita and other counties not Infest ed by the weevils is larger even than last year. The weevil has spread more the pat season than ever before and has now crossed, the Mississippi river ana in two years will cover the en tire southern paYt of the State. This means Jt will be almost Impossible to raise a bumper crop, next season. . Financial, conditions have Improved much,,ater than the most optimistic peupie mougni. ana, indications are that- in sixty, or ninety days every, thing will be 'normal again. . According to a report from Mr. Hes te.r, secretary of the New Orleans cot ton exchango, tha average weight of the bales la oyer 11 per cent, lighter man last year. . Thia means 250,000 hales of 500 pounds gro.s weight so that If the amount ginned ud to the end of the seafton Is 10,750.000, It would - be really equal to 10,500,000 Daies or last year s weights. . - J.

The commission houses of New York Boston . and .. Phllar delphla were represented In the per sons of such influential merchants at Messrs. Leonard Paulson, Laurus Lummus, T." Ashby BIythe, Miles P. Hoffman, Thomas Raby, Kdwln Webb and others. The machinery ' men were also In evidence. The dele gates represented the Hard Yarn Spinners' Association, the Soft Yarn Spinners' Association and the execu tive committee of the Cotton Manu facturers' Association of North Caro lina. In a number of cases, visitors present belonged to all three, being members of the executive committee of the Cotton Manufacturers' AH soclatlon of North Carolina and of the Hard and Soft Yarn Spinners Associations. As such they had the privilege of participating in air of the meetings. '. Separate cessions of the three bodies were held In the . morning. whlla In th aflernnon a. lolnt meet - . na1 i cJid wSr. au, It tha' of the Selwyn Hotel. All of the, meetings were well attended . and ! were enthusiastic and harmonious In T a marked degree. All recognized f the peculiar conditions confronting! tha trade and appreciated fully the,! suDreme need or co-operation ana unity of effort EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS. The meeting of the executive committee of the- Cotton Manufac turers' Association of North Carolina was held In the assembly hall of the Southern Manufacturers' Club at H o'clock. President R. M. Miller, Jr.. called the. session to 'order and Mr. W. L. Myrick acted as secretary. The greater part of the meeting was devoted to business of a routine and executive character. The mat ter of establishing: a common waste plant by all the mills in the associa tion was discussed and much Interest manifested. It is believed that favor able arM definite action will be taken at the next meeting of the associa tion. - Vhe committee decided to continue Its endorsement of the so-called "Carolina mill rules," especially such as relate to buying cotton. It was ascertained that the mills had saved large amounts of money this season by insisting that the Initials and car numbers appear-In the bills of lading on all shipments of cotton. The executive committee learned with pleasure that the members of the association were endeavoring, honestly -and In good faith, to live up to the provisions of the child labor law which went Into effect January 1st, and It urgently calls upon all the mills In the State to see that this law is fully enforced, both in letter as well as in spirit. v HARD YARN SPINNERS. i The meeting yesterday of the Hard Yarn Spinners' Association was the largest In Its hiatory, more than 600,000 spindles being represented either in person or by proxy by the 76 members present. The meeting was called to order at 11:80 o'clock by Chairman J. A. Abernethy, of LIncolnton. Secretary T. W. Crews, of charlotte, read the call for tha meetlne . All other subjects suggested for consideration were laid aside and the question of curtailment was dis cussed In Its various effects upon the market. The fact wis brought out that 800,000 uplndles had been curtailing production one-third since November 11th, 1907, and that this curtailment had not had the desired effect upon the market and that a fuither curtailment was necessary. A committee consisting of Messrs. J. G. Wardlaw, chairman; u. m. Coltrane. E. H. Williamson, b. m. Sargent and W. C. Heath was ap- oointed to. drart sunaDie resolutions covering the demands of ' the trade as they appear to-day. . After a short recess this committee presented the following resolution, which was unanimously adoptea: ."We recommend that the Hard Yarn Spinners' Association of the Southern States shut down their mills for aperlod of thirty days. commencing February 1st, or that the mills have the option of curtail ing 60 per cent, of tneir production for 80 days during tne montns or February and March.

It was found that a total or more than 400,000 eplndles waa rep resented, this being the most largely attended meeting in the history of this association. . I After routine business' haJ been transacted, this being the annual meet ing, the association took up for con sideration matters of great Import at this time. A question lhat has been receiving a good deal of attention of late, namely, that of "tare allowance," received the undivided thought of every membor for some time, as It was brought out that the Hosiery Knitters Association had been for a considerable while past urgently Insisting upon radical changes as to the "tare allowance" on coned yarns. It was the sense of the meet ing of the soft yarn spinners that such a change as that suggested by the knitters would prove very unsat- toractory and resolutions were pas-rl giving ine vie.wH 01 mc H4.;iuuon on this point, setting forth the weights of paper rones, etc, in f-onn?ctlon with the question of "tare." and declining to cons nt to Hie net weights.
