THE'BARROW TIMES
PREDICTS 50 CENTS PER
POUND FOR COTON
( 1 01. Thomas <4. Shackelford last
plight gave out a short statement
j on cotton, predicting fifty cents a
pound for the staple. The state
ment is as follows and explains it
se! f:
“In my judgment no farmer
j should sell his good white cotton
1 for less than fifty cents per pound.
“At that price cotton today if;
the cheapest commodity in the
world.
“Measured in the selling price
of cotton, yarns and cotton goods,
cotton is worth intrinsically more
than seventy-five cents per pound.
“The mills could pay seventy
five cents per pound and still make
; large profits, and yet not increase
the selling price of cotton goods.
“There is a cotton famine all
over the world. There is not en
ough white cotton to keep the
mills running. The farmer' who
holds his cotton can name his own
price.
“Foreign spinners are buying
heavily. Local mills holding back
expecting to break the market
and buy cheap cotton will be bad
ly disappointed. They will pay
more for it later.
“The farmers by selling over a
period no longer find a depressed
market. That portion of the crop
sold from May to August will in
my opinion demand the best
prices.
“Cotton should reach fifty cents
per pound as soon as the peace
treaty is ratified, and foreign ship
ments begin to move.”
The above statement from Col.
Thomas J. Shackelford is- taken
from The Athens Banner of Jan
uary 13, and we trust his predic
tions may come true.
