O' this estimate, It la evident that th‘>
prevalllrg price of cotton Is not too high
Indeed It would not be surprising if th
price should be considerably higher be
fore the si sson 1“ over. What has be. n
holding the price down Is the low prees
of the products of the cotton mills Owing
to the very large output of the mills some
monhs ago and Ihe decline of the demand
from China there has been some stagna

Is now steadily disappearing. and It is
reasonable to expect that there w.ll he
Increased activity In the cotton gools
market early next year. The tronble in
China may be anttl n-ntlyadvanced toward
a settlement by that time to permit a
great Increase In the Chinese demand for
cotton goods, and Ihe surplus stocks of
the mills will have been absorbed. A rea
sonable conclusion Is that last year's crop
having been a short one and this year's
crop still shorter She price of cotton
will advance considerably before the close

As f#r as can be Judged from what Is

;n all parts of lb# country are In a very
cheerful frame of mind. There i* a little

and htislni’!'* men are satisfied, the firm

for their products and wage-earners are
In demand at wages which are generally
satisfactory. The outlook for h fu

therefore, whv the Thanksgiving turkey
should not lie partaken of with thankful
hearts and contented minds.
Here In the Houtb matenal conditions
are far liester than they were when cot

cotton has given new life to farmers and

probably a Utile smaller this year than
it was last. Inti the price |- -o mu. h lat
ter than It was for s number of years

not grumbling mm h about ths shortness
of Ihe crop. At the erd of the Simon
they will have a great deal more money

were exceptionally large And there
