COTTON MAKES BIG
ADVANCE IN PRICE
Gain Of Seven Dollars And A Half
A Bale Made During Active
Trading
New York, Sept. 17.—In one of the
most active and excited markets of
the year cotton prices lifted from
150 to 152 points today, equivalent
to about $7.50 per bale. On the last
government estimate of the crop, this
represents an addition of approxi
mately $75,000,000 to the wealth of
the South.
The advance followed reports of
heavy rainfall in Texas and Okla
homa, where cotton is open in the
fields, threatening both grade and
movement, apd reviving fears that
crop%estimates," already perilously
low, may have to be still further re
duced.
The upturn carried October con
tracts to 29.42, December to 29.10
and January 28.48, from which lev
els there were slight closing reac
tions although final prices were still
105 to 135 points net higher.
A feature of the day was the ex
port shipment of fully 177,000 bales
from two Texas ports to Europe, or
one of the heaviest single day’s ex
port s on record. On the basis of to
day’s prices this shipment repre
sents a value of over $26,000,000.
Mills both in this country and Eu
rope were large buyers of cotton on
the advance, fearing a shortage la
ter on.
SPEND OVER A MILLION A
WEEK FOR CHEWING GUM
The people of the United States
spend upwards of one million dollars
a week for their chewing gum, and
the habit is still growing.
The value of the product turned
out of the factories of America is a
little more than double that of the
pre-war year 1914, which wras the
first year the Government conde
scended to notice the chewing gum
industry.
The girls of this and other towns,
when they sat in the movies and
chewed their gum while their favorite
star made love in alluring twilight,
little dreamed the effect they were
having on the prosperity of their
country. Dignified England laughed
at her, and her “deplorable chewing
habit,” but while the sedate Briton
was consciously in the mood of de
rision he was unconsciouly falling by
the wayside. The year 1920 saw the
British flapper, really the original of
the species, consuming American gum
to the tune of $1,120,000 wholesale
value. And so the story runs. France
in the same year took $383,000 worth,
and other European countries con
sumed proportionate quantities. Only
the consumption of Germany was
small, the total figures being $260.
The amount of the captial invested
shows beyond doubt that the habit
has come to stay Perhaps no in
dustry has shown a more remarkable
growth. Certainly no industry pre
sents a more potent argument to
prove the telling effect of advertis
ing.—Alamance Observer.
