FERTILIZER PRI'ES WAIT ON
t'OTTON PRICES
In September, when cotton g-ot up
around iio cents, there was a distince
quickening in the fertilizer trade .with
all materials in stronger demand and
tending higher. The nitrate market es
pecially felt this influence, and quickly
moved upward from around S4O at the
-port* to or SSO, j
Hut the South'* business on cot
ton priles and the fertilizer trade is no
exception. When cotton dropped to 16
and Hi cents, business conditions tigh
tened up, collections fell off, and (he
awakening demand for fertilizers sub
sided. So it.is uKain a huiiic of waiting
As..l see it. present prices for cotton,
if they continue, mean continued tight
tinn s, little if .rtjiy increase in cotton
ucreage next year, and of course, a
limited demand for fertilizers, which
in turn will mean moderate prices for
fertilizer materials. On the other hand
20 to 25 cent cotton by or Indole
HpriiiK Would mean an incieased cot
(on acreage and a bigger dimand for
fertilizers, with stiffen prices in eonse
quence.—Progressive Farmer
