HON. HARVIE JORDAN ISSUES LETTER,
TO SOUTHERN COTTON PRODUCERS:—Prompt and definite
action on the part of producers and holders of spot cotton all over
"the cotton belt is absolutely essential at this time to break the, pres
ent powerful «“Bear’’ combinations that are so perfec’tly organized
to depress prices. The open season has permitted the farmers to
gather and gin fully 80 per cent of the crop by Nov. Ist, and enough
cotton has been rushed upon the markets to largely meet all de
mands of the speculators. While it is true more of the staple has
been held back this year than ever before, the daily receipts at in
terior markets and ports are still too heavy to force an advance in
prices equivalent to the true value of the staple. The producers
areto be congratulated for the firm stand they have already taken
to market the crop slowly, and that fact alone has prevented the
price from falling to eight cents during the month of October. The
crop is about gathered, debts generally are paid and it is no longer
absolutely necessary to sell the balance of the crop. The Ginners
report recently issued from the U. S. Census Bureau indicated that
;up to October 18th, only 6,400,000 bales of cotton had been ginned.
This reportclearly indicates that this crop will not exceed 11,000,000
bales, if it reaches that figure. The spinnérs can wéll afford to pay
the producers 12 cents per pound for every bale of American short
staple cotton made this season and do a profitable business for the
'stock-holders. The price of yarns has advanced 3 cents per‘pound
within the past 60 days and an unprecedented demand for cotton
goods exists while stocks generally are lower than they have been for
the past twenty years. The duty of the producers is plain and sim
‘plc. They have crowded the markets for the past two months, con=
gesting every facility for handling cotton and playing into the hands
(of the Bear speculators and spinners. The thing. to do now isto
give the markets and shippers a rest during the next 60 days and
allow present stocks of spot cotton be gotten out of the way. Let
the spinners who are living from hand to mouth run short of cot~
ton and force them into the markets as active buyers. Let the
Bear speculators begin to feel the lash of the Bull operators whcn‘,
the latter call for the deliveries of spot cotton which the former will
be unable to deliver.
Let every holder of cotton absolutely stop
selling and sit down at home and quietly con
template results. Let each holder determine
to put no more cotton on the market until
prices advance and never sell a bale on a de-|
pressed market. '
, Port receipts are already falling off due to the resistance offered
by the producers and if united concert of action is secured all along
the line the fight will be whipped and Southern farmers will demon
strate their ability to become important and dominant factors in fix
ing the price at which their staple shall bz seld,
‘ Let county meetings be held all over the belt and strong and
active steps be teken to defend this mest valvable Agricultural
product from the rapacious greed of the selfish speculator., Let ev
ery man who still holds a bale of cotton in his possesion join in
these county, or local meetings, and agitate the importance of this
;stcp among his neighbors ‘o the end that success in the near future
;will be assured. We have held our own well so far but we can do
‘much better and easily advance the price from two to three cents by
E persistently refusing to sell and lightening up present receipts
We fixed our minimum at ten cents for this season and maintained
!!lu: price within half a cent of that figure .throngh October, the
'heaviest month, Now let the price be fixed at 12 «cents for the
remainder of the crop and the world will accept it at that price which
‘wil] mean an additiona) gain of nearly Fifty Million dollars.
| I will be pleased to have reports of all county meetings and from
individual farmers throughout the belt endorsing the above position
taken and guaranteeing their active co-operation, Stats Vice Presi
dents of the Association are urged to push this matter actively in their
respective States. Farmers Unions and Agricultural Clubs general
ly are earnestly requested to give their valued aid and co-operation to
the movement and the Daily and Weekly Press of the South is re
spectfully requested to use the power and influence of their columns
to disseminate this circular letter and give such other aid as they
may feel disposed.
A determined stand will bring victory.
Very respectfully,
HARVIE JORDAN,
President Southern Cotton Growers Protective Ass’n.
