SEES WORLD BARE OF
COTTON NEXT SUMMER
Seoeter Smith. MCmMm, Ah
lyeas Cnee Report—Waata
Farmers' Beak*
Washington, Nov. l<r.—Prediction
>f a world shortage of cotton next
>umm. r was made in the aeaate to
J»y by Senator Smith, Democrat,
tooth Carolina, in a speech analyzing
:oc situation on cotton consumption
or October, made public by the aae
iub bureau. Should tho rata of eea
• umptioi) fur tho ensuiag meaths
tqual or exceed that of October, he
{a^dataaee ^t-tt
#r», asserting that it seemed the only
hope for the agricultural interacts
lay In the formation of their own co
operative selling agencies aad the es
tablishment of their own banks. He
added that relief legislation thus far
bad been converted aacb time lute
•breast works behind which the in
terexts opposed to the farmers in
trenched Usemsctves to destroy the
farmers’ profits.”
Evporta and domestic consumption
of cotton for October aggregated 1,
MKI,0(10 bales, which, according to
the senator, consulates a record for
monthly disposition of the product.
“At that rate.” he continued, "tho
erporlr and consumption between
last August 1 and next August 1,
will be mom than 16,090,000 bales,
and the best estimnto of the visa bio
supply thnt can be obtained shows
only about 12,600,000 and 12,000,
OllO bales.”
A carry over of about 6,000,000
bales was estimatad by Mr. Wealth,
while this year's crop he belltvod
would not excetd 7,009,000 bales,
lie mads hia figures liberal, he added,
but found ne way to bring the two
totals anyway near together.
Mr. Smith reviewed the many
"cries" which, he said, had forced the
cotton prices down and told the sen
ate that all of the "menacing things
fnrseen by tile trade, including the
rail strike.” bad been put out of tha
way. yot the price remained lew. Be
declared, however, that the country
never woeld see cotton sell as low
again, expressing the belief that Am
erican crops hereafter wouldfall be
low the 10 year average, which he
said was slightly above 12 Bullion
bales.
