FARMERS TO HOLD THEIR
CROPS FOR THE MINIMUM
PRICE.
Statement Declares That Spinners
of England and Germany Must
Have Staple and Will Pay 40
Cents.
The American Cotton Associa
tion. 1 hrough its finance commit
tee, Tuesday issued a statement
urging the farmers to hold their
col ton for the minimum price re
ocnMv decided upon at t lie cotton
conference at New Orleans, and
not to place it upon the market as
soon as i inncd. thus adding to the
lircs< lit depression. I lie statement
follows :
“The American Cotton Associa
tion urges the larmers ol all the
cotton states to continue to stand
hv the prices named at the New
Orleans eo'\ention on September
<). The juice lixed was thirty six
cents for Sept, with a sliding scale
of half a cent increase each month
until the |>riee of *•() cents is reach,
ed in May. This pi-ice was agreed
upon a Dor much discussion an*! is
recognized all over the country as
a conservative price, in fact, a low
price.
At t 1 i price, the spinners ea i
operate their mills and make a

yet complained that the price we.
too high The farmers, how ever,
are asking t spinners to take af
firmative action and declare that
the price a fair one and that
llk \ wiii holy, maintain it.

There is no denial of the fact

world’s markets. I jet the farmers

amount of propaganda that is be

lack of credit in Europe. They can
rest assured that there will he no
idle spindles in Kurope. The
American spinners are prospering
almost beyond calculation. The
Kuropean spinners will not stay
out of the game.

will buy cotton, and she will be I
glad to buy it at the price named
in New Orleans. She will not al
low her mills to stand idle and lose
her trade. Germany is ready to
buy cotton. Her mills are intact.
She is ready to buy several mil
lion bales.
“In the meantime, the Ameri
can mills are not idle. Manufac
turers are unable to supply the
trade with cotton goods. Cotton
goods are advancing steadily ev
ery day. There is no reason why
cotton should have declined SSO a
bale. It could not have declined
on account of the cotton goods
market. It could not have declin
ed on account of the prospect of
a bumper crop, for this is not so.
A great surprise is in store for
th<' cotton world. The deteriora
tion of the crop has been very ra
pid. It is doubtful if ten million
bales are produced. This will not
supply the needs of the world.
“Cotton farmers should not. be
deceived about the carry-over
crop from last year. The amount
ofspinnablo cotton carried over is
very small.
“If the cotton farmer will only
hold his cotton, stand by the or
ganization and refuse to sell, he
will get the minimum price named
at New Orleans; not only this,
but a much larger price. The
watchwords are ‘organize,’ ‘stand
steady,’ refuse to sell unless the
minimum price is offered.”
