: y, i. M r" . . - - CUCKEIt AND COMPANY HOPEFUL FOR FUTURE CkMon Letter States That Busi ness Generally is Slowly Improving. Sutler and company's cotton lot 4 Vlng the cotton outlook for ' Hatcn, states that conditions in Ken dal arc slowly improving. The let ter iitplorcs the fact that the textile Ijtunrh is the hardest hit of all busi mmmut, with the possible exception of da? fertilizer trade. The cotton letter hopes that a more roncihitory spirit will prevail in the injcrtant conference in London, be itawvn the allicg and Germany, de-rlai-fag that the results will be of a xir-reachintf nature for the entire rWs economic structure. The letter reads in full as follows: Whn we said in our last circular that this country could not possibly escape the reflection of a continuation tr aggravation of. adverse politicul xmi economic conditions in Europe, we anticipated exuclly what has happen, j wm waring mernomn under review, Waile conditions in general are slow ly iaaprovinjr. in this country it is ex-weduig-fy deplorable that, our very lentil industry is the hardest hit man? all lines of business, with the twxptign of the fertilizer trade in the awtorn portion of the belt, which magjit be d(!Hcrlied as still worse. Tflere can be n6 mow reforence to afeflatlon, as far as cotton prices are wcwrnieu. uvcrueuauon would ue the term, if such a word existed. Tie price for raw cottonthas not only Adinedl below the face value of pre- x I i ... times, but in reality is very much' ftnan before the war, when the exchange value is considered, is mot so much the renewed depres- a among our own mills and in the y goods business here that is re.

Ut SEMI- tiona and in our own country were drowned amkLit the flood of propa ganda that was lavished upon the mind of the unaware and unsophisti atcd among us. It was bad taste, to cxpressit mildly, to even intimate the though that measures resembling im penalism and oppression were con templated in Paris that were much move tyrannical in nature than the worst delinquencies of which the sup posed enemies of ivilization were ever accused. What few wise men did fore see then, what the intellectual peo ple have been apprehending for quite some time, and what in the course of time, the whole world will condemn, is that those who were delegated and called upon to build an entirely new structure of world contentment and real peace havo utterly failed in their mission. "The spirit of justcie and good will has been supplanted by an attitude of grad and greed and by oppression, practiced upon the people of victors and vanquished alike. This is what has brought about the present ad verse conditions in Europe, where very little if any, confidence in buy ing, not to speak of investing, exists. Everybody wants to sell; even mills in England have been selling their cotton of late. It is only natural and logical that such conditions should reflect on the business in our country, and unfortunatey our textile industry is worse off in this respect than any other. , "It is to be hoped that a more cofr. oyiru win prevail in uie im- Portant conference in London, the re. sult of w,ch wjll be farreaching for the whole world's economic structure. !1!ni.. .tJi :tl i ; .1 . All arguments expounded to justify the drastic decline in cotton on sta- tistical grounds ar neirliirible in comparison with the fundamental necessity of putting the world back to a peace basis.

At the present rate of things if we M N FRIDAY MARCn produce a few more bumper crops we will all be bankrupt. So the only way I see for us to get any relief ia to organLso, cut out so much cotton and grow hog and hominy and eat it. Ev ery cotton grower should cut his' acre age half and all who are situated so they can should cut it all out for two years, and let the speculators and manufacturers get hungry for cotton and then they would pay its worth. Small crops bring us more money than large ones, so what's the use of us killing ourselves making and gath ering big crops? Don't get Kcared that some one will have to go naked; patch up your old shirt and pants and if ihey give out make you some more out of tow sacks, just anything to .cover our old sun-burnt hides.
