BEARS AT OLD TRICKS.
The bears on the cotton ex
change are again up to their
old tricks, trying to hammer
down the price of cotton.
In the face of the govern
ment report, that predicted a
cotton crop of six and one-halt
million bales of cotton, they
are turning heaven and earth
to discount this report, by slat - j
ing in their propaganda that
the government has under-estimated
the crop of 1921. !
To offset this pernicious pro--!
paganda. Secretary of Agricul
ture Wallace will issue a state
ment that will put a fly in their
pie.
Anil it also stated that some
startling statements will be gi
ven by the expert detect i es
of the American Association.
There was a time when ru
mors would count for facts, but
this insidious bear will now be
fought with fire, and the day
is not far distant when these
contemptible gamblers would
be branded as the worst ene
mies of our country.
