I take this method of advising my filcnds

nnd point to much higher prices ln the Im-

The worlds Islhle supply of American
cotton chows a decrease for the mek of
HDtXO bales and Is now only 1S0CK > > bales
greater than two years ngo vben cotton
went to 10 and 11 cents per pound and was
ptactlcally unobtainable at the end of th
season
Of this Islhle supply there Is In Ameri-
ca at thn rorts and Interior towns 178000
bales less than last year and 360000 bales
less than In the memorable bull year of
1100
The quantity of cotton brought Into alght
for the week is only 132000 bales which
Is the smalest on record for the eorie
spondlng week of any season In which
tho crop exceeded t > 00O000 bales

bales against

In even diiectlon the demand seems o
be expanding and the supply decreasing
The average weight of bales Is six pounds
less than last yeir which is the equhalent
of a reduction of 120000 bale ln the sup-
ply The cotton trade of the world seems upon
eve of recognizing the extracrdlimry
situation and a very sharp advance in he
market appears Imminent It Is certain
come promptly If those who hold the
small remnant of this years crop decline U
j sell except at Its fair value
It is worth in view of the situation to
dar disclosed certainly 0 cents and will
prfibahlr command 10 cents before the end
of the season It is only tarongb a vew
