WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH COTTON?
Only a few days ago, cotton
,was selling for 20 cents per
pound, and there it stayed for
Bome time, and then with the
space of a week it began to go
down and hit 17 cents.
It is a strange thing, that
when the government gives a
large .estimate of the cotton
yield, the cotton world accepts
,it without question. This has
always been so.
A few weeks ago the gov
ernment report came out very
strong for low- yield, the
shortest in years, but no sooner
,.was it published than a propa-
. ganda was started to discount
" this, report because jt gave a
small yield and had a tendency
to push prices up. And this pro
paganda Is' still go ifi g ion and
'cotton has '"gone 'down.
It peems.that mere rumors
have wore to do with. the rise
