BK BKAUII.V C'OXSlWlKll AT HU CKNTH?orrORTVKITI WHICH IS NOT FLI.LV APPRECIATE!* \ ? **( N?w Tork. Sept. 1?The coming ar, in our opinion, offerg. to cotton producers an opportunity which lb perhaps not fully appreciated. Hence (he following: Last season we realized the crop to be a very short one, and fifteen cents appeared a reasonable figur* to us under the ^orcumstances. The. price, we may tay.'vu. maintained against the combined efforts of the entire world, aaij. Indeed, the only reason the price did not rule higher was the fact that the crop then available fol lowed the longest one on record? 14.000,000 bales. Accordingly, there were then, very Urge risible and In visible stocks<In spinners' hands, as well -as a large supply of manufactur ed goods on spinners', jobbers' sna retailers' shelves. It would have been Impossible to I maintain laat season's price if thai j price had not been Justified in every j particular. All intereat8 fought the I advance strongly, so that this season I finds spinners, jobbers and retailers j with the smallest supplies known slncfe the war. In ot&er words, the situation In this respect is exactly opposite from last year, at the name [date, and there Is absolutely no re | serve stork, to fall Dark on to sup I ply any shortage that may develop, j The world would require a supply of 13,500.000 hales minimum this , coming season to hold stocks for this timo next year In a position no more strained than they occupy today. A crop of 12t.500.000 bales would b?* given away it sold under ltfc. Th?* | world would have to take It all at even tflgher. prices If it wer? held for , 'same. And what crop ihay .we exi?ect? I^st year the states exclusive of Texas * and Oklshoma.-pr^ilriceti ibw'irt T.obO.OOO -bales,'and there is no reason io ex- j 'peel a-larger yield from t:?e **me state? ihla ikklsou. especially when the crop Is three'"weeks late. In fuel I any Increase .must feecextremely small "and on the contrary there is a strong J probability--that Instead of an In crease there will be a decrease. Tex- I as andOklahoma certalniy do not In dicate over 4.000.000. and these fig ures aleo are more likly to be reduj-l ed than-raised. Therefore, the totirt yield indicated Is certaiuly not more than from 11.500.000 to 12.000.000 D&ies. Now nt he opening ofthU year the trade ? In . hovering over the market like a vulture, hoping that the producer will rush to market h<& crop uh he had In seasons psst. even If he can get only 13 cents for it. In | our judgment those v.-ho follow suc h a policy will not. only bp robblne themselves?they will be throwing away the opportunity orf a life time: and thoy will also be destroying the >alue of^thelr neighbor*' property. It la n matter of little concern to us that our efforts to establish a rair price for cotton, nccordlng to the law of supply and demand, were nel'her realized ^or appreciated bv thos?* in terested last/ seuson That In now past history, but to allow this crop to ruah to market without first warn ing the producers of tha costly mi? takog they may bake and the advant ages they stand to realize with wis dom would not be Just to the c-ju.se we eapouae. Nor do we forget the ultimate con sumer. He doefe not believe It. but it la true that the price of raw cot tOn affecta him but little Price,, re mained virtually unchanged to him last year. In the face of he a<1 van. e recorded on the cotton exchanges, ftnd there 1* every reason to believe that he actual consumption last yea* waa larger than .the year previous. What we must adjust ourselve to is a gradual yearly Increase in price to supply new industries and a grow ing population, the world over. But this Increase will make itself felt gradually In retail prices. Cotton could advance enormously before the appreciation would be felt by the ultimate consumer. -Most of the cost of the finished product bought by the ultimate consumer Is accounted for In the many and varied processes of manufacture, transslpments and reliandUngs. What rules the producer, though. Is not he coat of manufacure. bnt the law of demand and aupplj, and to him we say that, in our belief a crop of 11.600.000 bales would readi ly be consumed this reason at twenty cents. >_/ E O.

Sept. 2.?Dry farmed wheat la declared by one of the largest concern* In the North west to be far superior to the grain grown on irrigated Sfcnds. L. P.

'In thl8 vicinity the dry farming sections have shoWu' up most favor ably during the season, when it I* considered that this summer hab been the hottest and driest that has been seen here in many years. Tht quality of the dry farmed wheat is excellent, and this we have determ ined by very careful laboratory tests. "For milling purposes the dry farm wheat is i great deal more uni form in quality thsn the Irrigated product, and the quality and quant ty of the gluten la more uniform. This year', grade has been shown to contain from 37 to 4 7 per cent ot good quality of gluten, while the\r rigated wheat runs frum 30 to 40 per cent and the quality of gluten is very uncertain. Mr. Burns says this 1* the flrnt time a miller hii* frankly admitted the superiority of wheat grown by dry'farmed -method*, adding "Numerous tests will be mn<l?
