Leaguers low.' The series now

seventh game would indicate the

Under the caption of "The South
Should Awaken To The Present In
sidhpus Bull Propagranda" Oliver &
Houghton, cotton brokers of 59-61
Pearl Street, made public today a
statement of unusual significance.
This is the firm which came in for
.considerable attention last 'August
because of their exclusive predict
ion that a big upward swing in the
price of cotton was imminent.
Their statement of today follows:
"Right now the South Is confront
ed with the problem of avoiding gi
gantic financial losses despite the
fact that It'holds all the high cards.
To us It looks as if there is a little
game being worked hy certain east
ern and foreign combinations who
are 'Bears' merely masquerading In
'Bull' clothing. Beyond all question
of doubt the cotton crop of this year,
combined with the carry over,
is not anywhere near enough to
meet world requirements, These
people know this Just as well as
as they know they are alive. They
want all the cotton In existence, must
have It In fact, but they do not wish
to pay a legitimate price if they can
avoid it. If the South i will but sit
steady and call their bluff every time
it will wMn as sure as fate. Other
wise, otherwise!
"There never was a more despic
able and questionable piece of bunk
pulled Off than was recently witness
ed right after the last Government
Condition Report was Issued.- It
was sheer ruthless slaughter-un
justified and cruel beyond words.
The . 'Interests' had carefully,
cunningly and persistently fed the
public with 'a condition of under
forty' propaganda. When the
condition was announced as 42.2
they purposely and maliciously
broke the market 193 points (2 cents
per pound) In less than three min
utes. Now, In all reason, what
difference did this slight increase In
the predicted f'gnes make? None,' ab
solutely, none! The actu:il facts were
that the second smallest crop since
the civil war win assured, vet it was
made to appear as though somo-
tliiti.T dreadful had happened.
"Now, listen can-fnllyf Here Is
their little game. They run the
market up two or three hundred
point.-; hold It there for ubrief time,
spread a great deal of Bullish infor
mation to induct- outs'de buying
thus making the market technically
weak, and tlen in an unguarded mo
ment hammer (he price down sudden
ly and shako out the timid holders.
Thjs has been done over and over a
gain during the past two months
purely for the purpose of leading the
South to believe that it is cherishing
a delusion In hoping for much high
er prices, and-that Its cotton better
he .sold between 19 and 20 cents
wh'le the opportunity is offered. In
this manner the South is being dis
couraged and Its faith and confi
dencp In it own Inherent strength
Is being undermlned-evnn destroy
ed. We say to the Southland In all
seriousness- 'Hold on! Be not de
ceived! You have a literal gold mine

heritage by those who 'spin not.
neither do they sow,' yet whe, like
hungry Jackals, are waUIng for you
to drop your highly valued cotton
Into their greedy maws. Be stead

Make them pay and pay no heed to
any price under twenty-five cents
per pound."
