Into effect, has just received f he following letter from Jatnee O. f Williams, a member of the cotton ^ brokerage Arm of Daniel O'Dell A 2o., of 71 Broadway, New York, and ' rho Is also a member of the New fork Cotton Exchange. Mr. Wlllama' r i rtI-am very much pressed to learn aui your enoru nave dmd so sucsossful tn bringing about a promised naterial reduction in the cotton acreige for this year. I wish you every iucce?s and believe it to the very salration of the cotton planter. "I consider that many spinners are aylng in supplies for future needs in rlew of the possibilities of a material eduction In acreage this year. "When I was south last October a >lg spinner told me that if cotton vent to 8 l-2c he expected to buy luffldent to run him for two years, is he considered it a safe Investment it a price which he considered below he coot of production. His views unloubtedly represented the views of tumorous spinners all over the counry and when the price reached a mint at which they considered that he actual cotton could not be proluced, they began buying on a heavy cale. This heavy baying In my pinion, turned the market and the isee with which it( has since sdranoee has not only made them surer if th^ir position, hut has encouraged |to follow their example, and h he eonseQuenoe is that we have a nuch more optimistic feeling today ban we had a months ago., alhough there has been no redaction n estimates of last year's yield. "As to the future course of merest, I believe it absolutely depends ipon the acreage planted, fertilisers ised and progress made in this year's rrop, for certainly if Indications point o another big yield, spinners who lave bought far into the future will to the first to try to unload In the ixpectation of buying again at maerial receeslons, while th? demand vill become so slack rfchat there rould surely follow a tremendous ireak la priosa h 'r. " "On the other hgnd, if the prostoets were tor a small crop the spintore would feel assured of their poIttlon la lanac la rapplto, tor tb? roald taeniae, baaed oa tha (act ' bat the aurplua at the. and of tkla < rear would be materially radaaad. < iad I ballaaa era would hare a readme Old bull aartM.
