Oor Farmers’ Union Department HOLDER OF SPOTS POSSESSES POWER. Reviewing, the mitring event* In the cotton market recently. Messra. W. U. Thompson A Co. say: On Saturday, Sept. 7, October fu ture. closed at 12.77. Middling spot* were quoted at 13 9-16. On Monday morning, the 'Jth, at 9 o'clock, the census report of the number of bales of nsw cotton ginned to 8<pt. l was publl ihed. These figures were 191,- 416 hales, or le.s than one-half the figures of rfept. 1, 1906. The market broke some ten points. At 10 o' clock the bureau gave out its esti mate of the condition of the crop on Aug, 25. These figures, 72.7, con sidering the backwardness of the crop, showed the lowest condition In many years. Immediately upon the r-ndlng of this estimate the market wus smothered with offers to sell, and up on the pr-texl that tilts' r. por.s made Important revelations not hitherto knopn and appreciated, a senaatlonal decline was Inaugurated which con tinued with unimportant Interruptions until Saturday, the 14th Instant, Oc tober Hold as low as 11.54, and finally closed at 11.64. S|K>ts were quoted at 13c nominal. Buyers and sellers a- part I. e., there were no actual sales upon which quotations could be bss d A decline of |6 a bale within less than a week represents serious money loss, but the fact that value could he thus annihilated without any Just rra- aonable cause Is a consideration of graver Importance. A man may waste his properly or lose It through Ig norance or mistaken Judgment, and the pecuniary loss covers the injury. When one's property Is taken from him hy unexpected assault, he loses not only his property, but his rights. It Is, therefore, of the first Importance that the agenoy Inflicting such a loss be discovered and the remedy for tic wrong he found ntid applied. What momentous change transpired on the morning of thu 9th to upset accepted Ideas of value with which both producer and consumer were con tent’: The slump was the result uf a pre- medlnted attack and persistent on slaught by a party of New York op erators backed by ample capital and prestige in speculation. The assault Whs well timed. It was not resisted: It could not be resisted. New York was the active aggressive agent in the selling. Liverpool Influenced by sel ling orders from New York, and her own Interest, ns the spinner's mar ket. offered no helping hnnd. New Orleuns could make no effective de fense because her forces had been de pleted. However willing the local o|ierators may have been and were to strike, as they have struck before, a blow for cotton, they knew that they could not sustain the market without the support of the great southern pub- llc.and this support they did not have. But even If under present condltlona the ^ttack could not have been re sisted, Is there still no way out. no remedy 7 In order to break the mnrket 113 points within less than a week In spite of the fact that every legitimate In fluence was against such a decline. It has been necesaary to Hell a tremen dous lot of cotton that is not In pos session nor yet bought. These short contracts are still open and the market Is largely overfigured on patter, but these profits are unrealized us yet. In order that the profits may be rea lized the contract must be liquidated— that la, the seller must either buy back Ills contrarts or be able lo buy the equivalent in spot cotton or spot cotton on the basis of the contract prices. This means that In order for an October contract sold ut 12.77 to he profitable It must be possible to liquidate It by spot cotton bought at 12c In the Interior. An October con- tract sold at 12c must find cotton for sale at 11 3-8 In the Interior or It will not be profitable. 1 An October contract sold Saturday at 11.54 can only be liquidated profitably when cotton Is selling ut 10 7-8 in the In terior. If the seller of a contract can not buy spots on this basis he can not liquidate his contract profitably by spot tender, and he will be Weed Into the contract market to buy back his obligation to delivir the spots. When this occurs for the very reason that makes him a buyer, he will find no one willing to sell him a contract. When the shorts begin to cover they encounter not a selling market but a buying market That they will have to cover Is inevitable,and wheth- r they will cover at a profit or a lots Scott J Emulsion strengthens enfeebled nursing mothers by- increasing their flesh and nerve force. q It provides baby with the necessary fat c, and mineral food for healthy growth. * ,11 si all DRUGGISTS: SOc. AND $1.00. will depend upon the spot holder. The holder of spot cotton has the key to the situation. If he refuses to sell his cotton for 10 7-8 In the Inter ior, then the short who has sold at 11.54 will be In difficulties and will be forced to buy back hia contract. If the spot holder refuses to sell his cot ton at 11 3-8 In the interior, then the seller of a contract at 12c will be. In trouble, and so on up the line. We do not advocate holding cotton for speculation, but we do advocate holding It for protection. If we be lieved that the present prices were the result uf natural and leg.lunate caus es, we would advise our friends to ac cept these prices and turn their cot ton Into money without delay.* Bui we do not bflleve that the present prices are natural or legitimate. The bffef experience we have had with the market this season before speculation interfered, showed that consume.» were willing lo pay the prevailing prices and produieis were willing to accept them. If business had been permuted to run Its natural course probably the Increased volume of re ceipts would have gradually lowered prices. This would have been a nat ural and acceptable result. But when an outside element that knows noth ing about cotton and has no interest therein except as u medium for gamb ling profits, arbitrarily Interferes be tween producer and consumer and un dertakes to fix prices by sheer force ot money and manipulation,we believe in suspending thu rules And striking with the* weapon at hand. The pro ducer baa the weapon.—New Orleans Times Democrat. The above article from an experi enced cotton firm of New Orleans throws some light on the tricks and schemes by which the cotton specu lators rob our farmers. The boss speculators in New York lay the plans for the robbery well knowing that their satellites lu the cotton belt will ull Join in the scheme for a share of the s|>o;ls. Yes, "the holder of spot cotton has the key to the situation," for if the holder won’t sell for less than 15 ccnU, the buyer will have It to pay. He is obliged to have the cotton. Who Is the holder of spot cotton? Why. the farmer, of course. And If h( turns his cotton loos** at present price* he U not only robbing himself, but Is turning over "the key to the situation" to the s|K.*culators, and the speculators will use every bale thus obtained lo hammer down the price of all the balance. Never In the history of the South has the cotton farmer had such a backing as In this fight for 15 cents cotton. The prist—daily, weekly, monthly .all give column after column of en- couragemnct. Hankers, merchants, doctors, lawyers, drummers, every body, everywhere talks and works for 15 cent cotton—except the speculator who Is robbing you. A few days ago 1 saw cable prices to the Georgia Stato Union, from Man chester. England: Middling, 15 1-2 cents per pound. Same dale in Ce- dartown, middling cotton was 11 1-2 cents--a difference of 4 cents, or 420 per bale. Compressing, tare and freight to Manchester, England, la l#ss thau 2 cents per pound. Now. who pocketed the other 2 cents per pound, or $10 per bale? Not the lo cal merchant buyer, for as a rule he Is happy If the 8|>eculator will ullow him cost. The speculators ure sliar > and know every trick of the trade, from stealing your cotton by weight to seeding out false market reports. The only waj on earth to beat them Is to refuse to sell for less than 15 cents, middling basis. Yes, I know you are In debt and your creditors need the money. If they can't and won’t wait, put yo ;r cotton in the warehouse, borrow the money from the banks and fluey our creditors. It will be our own f«ult If we don’t win this fight JOHN I. FULL WOOD. P. S.

The Cedartown local merchant buy ers are not to blame. 1 know that they are paying all that they can un der the limit laid down by their bo. s speculator. if you farmers are willing to be robbed with your eyes wide open. 1 for one am not sorry for you. But 1 am sorry for your wives and chil dren, who helped you to make the stuff you are selling too low.
