THE MONROE JOURNAL. G. U. BEASLEY. I im. . F. BEASLEY. i TueaJaY. March 14. 1905. Preaoect BriiM for Mulder el Cotton. For a king time now the eitton market ha ibowa little change. Tbe bean are unable to tr.ake Lrd way on account of the holding and reducing policy of the fanner, while the bulla are equally at a standstill until there remain in the mind of the world no shadow of doubt that the farmer of the South will plant much lea this year. Just as noon as this fact is accepted, we under stand, the committee appointed by the cotton growers at New Orleans to pool two million bales of last year's crop and carry it till October, will spring their plan. Then some thing will be doing. A large local handler remarked Saturday that the market is now the most uninterest ing one he ever saw. But every day that the present situation holds out makes more promises for the ulti mate success of the farmers. If the market continues down until after it is too late to buy mules and fertilizer and to plant cotton, the world ill know that the South means business, for the fact will then be plain that acreage has been reduced. A local buyer says he will take all he can get to be paid for in June at 8 cents. From the market letters of Leland & Ware, brokers of New York of the past few days the following extracts are taken: "The significant fact in the devel opments of the week has been the resistance shown in the face of the large movement Brokers are paying very little attention now to the move ment from day to day, as prices in the South do not give way and the Southern holders continue to adhere to their position of not only holding the balance of the crop tor a fai price, but in reducing the acreage of the coming crop. It is perfectly evi dent that if a sullicient guarantee could be produced that the acreage would be materially reduced, that speculation would be on an increas ing scale and prices would tend to ward a higher level. As yet there is no general conviction that the acre age will be reduced. But we believe the fact that the South is so strong in its attitude of holding the surplus from last year, that this assures a re duction in acreage as well as a re duction in the use of fertilizer. Thi is really the vital question of the moment and to our minds is the only question that need be discussed re garding factors surrounding the po sition of cotton as it stands today Weather has been more season able in the South for two weeks n and planting preparations are niak ing more progress. This is in the extreme southern portion of cotton belt, as the spring is still backward in the northern portion. All reports coming to hand indicate the reduc tion in acreage, and these reorts are from such reliable sources that thev are to be accepted as trustworthy. It will be some weeks, perhaps, before planting preparations are well unde way, and it is not likely that there will be a radical change in the mar ket until after the crop is planted For the next two weeks, therefore we are not likely to have the same kind of a cotton market we have had for the last two weeks, but on all de clines cotton should be bought and sold on any advance that would re turn prolils. There is no specula tion of imiHirtance, but this will come as soon as the trade is con vineed that the Southerner means business. "Reports from the South show cotton preparations backward. In addition the acreage will be reduced and it is getting so late that there is no question about the reduction in the use of fertilizer. Farmers sim ply will not pay out their money for the stuff as long as they are holding on to cotton. It is perfectly reason able to see that planters will not sell cotton at 7 or 7 J cents and then pay out good money to buy fertilizer and plant another big crop that will not pay cost of growing. The time has come for the cotton world to look the problem in the face as the South has been doing lor two months. lne South has settled the question. It is now time for the cotton world to begin to see what the solution of the problem of over production will mean on the price of cotton the next twelve months. We are likely to see some lively times in cotton before fall. Buy cotton on all breaks and don't get discouraged. The morning dispatches say that an ominous lull in fighting has fol lowed the overwhelming defeat of the Russians and it is now believed that Russia will take up the discus sion of terms of peace. After lotting a law suit with his neighbor, K. J? ill of Denver, Col., George Schluter armed himself with a rifle, went to Fill's home and shot him. Mrs, Fill rushed to her aasbaod'a aide and was also shot BchlMer then set fire to the Fill home and returned to bis own home and barricaded himself in.
