FUTURE OF COTTON PRICE8.
In discussing the future of cotton
prices, one piust needs take lfito ac
count the world's consumptive ablll
ty under changing , financall condi
tions as well as Its consumptive ca
paclty under normal conditions, says
the Houston Post.
certain extent this law that
governs trade made Ita Influence felt
in the marketing of the past season-
crop. With an assured outlook for
small yield the season opened t
with prices high enough to reason-
ably Invite the hope of a still higher
level before the season should close,
yet despite all efforts to artificially
stimulate the market J>y a well organ
Ized holding movement among the
farmers and by other expedients, op
ening prl -es were about the highest
of the season. The law of supply and
demand operating under abnormal
conditions that could hardly hare
been forseen changed the* aspect of
the entire situation. The world'
consumptive ability w-a reduced be
low Its normal levsl, thereby upset
ting pserlously formed theories as to
a fair and reasonable level of values.
Since 1887 the quantity of cotton
In tbe United States has doubled In
yield, In exports and In domestic
consumption. The area planted In-
creased from 20,000,000 to 32,000,000
acres. Yet In only six out of these
twenty years or above. The export
price has been 10 cents or over in
only four fiscal years out of twenty
Discussing the future of prices In
the light of these facts, the Wall
street Journal concludes that “as be
tween tbe mlUman who wants 7-cent
cotton nnd the grower who wants
15 cents for his product, the market
must find some compromise,” The hol
der now get3 approximately 11 cents.
h'le the speculative market Is near
ly 2 cents lower for enrly months of
crop. The Journal compares
these prices with average prices by
five-year periods as follows: 1888-
1892, average price 9.2, average crop
.700.000 bales: 1893-1897, average
price 6.9, average crop 8,800,000; 1898-
1902, average price 7.6, average crop
10,320,000; 1903-1907, average price
10.7. average crop 11,820,000 .
With these facts before It, the
Journal takes a gloomy view of the
future of prices, giving thq following
reasons therefore: "The cotton tex
tile outlook Is not now the most prom
ising. Probably a third of the spin-
dleage In thla country la Idle. French
mills are beginning to lpok anxiously

latlve prophets who say that the ship

deep. The consumer Is. the crux
the whole question. But neither

nles know enough of the mlnfl of the
consumer to say what he will do. In
some parts of the world he would

Are You 8ure Your Kidneys are Well?
Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty
of the kidneys is to remove all uiic
acid from the blood. Its presence
there shows the kidneys are inactive.
