Upon the outcome of u fight which must be waged during the next six

Making Farmers Stand Loss.
From the above it will be seen that
the mills have arbitrarily reduced the
brice of cotton goods and that they
Propose (o make the growers of cotion
#tand the entire reduction. They do
:‘°‘ propose Lo soale down their profits
n the least, b%‘ intend to maintain their
enormous profits and force the growers

mills not only know how to figure cost
gs Muhufacturing plus fabulous profits,
UV they know better than the growers

only of thelr own husiness but of the
({owurn' business as well, they pro-
Pose to act as arbiters in all things per-
Wining to cotton and extract ample re
muneration from the business because
of their “know how."”
To further uufimoul the blfl‘ break in
the coiton market and to show their
good fellowship, on the 20th insi. reports
rerv circulated all over this country by
Averpool cotton concerns and Manches
ter spinners, that Manchester mills
were resolling thelr stock because they
had no orders for cotton goods. This,
of course, like other propaganda to
break the market, had no truth in it
The supply of American cotton in Man
chestor is Just aboul equal to her con
sumption for one week before the war.
The game is to shake loose American
owners by creating the Imi)ranmn that
promise of bls exports in the future is
all wrong, and that spot owners will be
left to hold the bag. The truth of the
matter is that not only Ils England
hungr{ for cotton, but that Germany
and all the rest of continental Rurope
are actually almlnql‘:ur it and are only
walting for the embargo to be raised
to take big blocks of cotton off our
hands am fust as transportation can be
provided. ‘
German and Austrian mills have not
been damaged by war and their manu
facturing capacity ia fully equal to &rn-}
war times. They consumed cver 3,000,-
000 bales per annum when they had the
usual manufacturers' reserves of four
months working stock. Theg hiave no
reserves now. This mans that within
twelve months after the umhu«rro is
ralned the Central Powers will need, and
in all probability will consume three or
four million bales of cotton., It is re
ported that Belglum mills are ready to
resume and they are now compluining
that thelr Government still restricts
fmports, It must be remembered that
Germany did not intend muslvo up Bel
'mm and thercfore protected her manu
acturing industries.

If the holders of cotton will realize the
prospects and be content to possess
themselves in {mmmvc until the defl
nite rafsing of the embargo against Cen- |

rom & New York paper and from (h«‘
standpoint that it seems to be well un
derstood that spinners, both allen and
domestic, are determined to compel the
owers of cotton to absorb all losses
m(-lmmt to a readjustment of business,
{t would seem that the time has nrrlv‘\.lf
for the growers of cotton in Amerioa
to proclaim a new declaration of in

Snow Boon to Wheat {

Out in Western Kansas
BALINA, KAN., Feb. 6.—The recent|
deep snow, vary'ug from fifteen to twenty
five inches in Western and Northwestern
Kansas, has been a boon to the wheat,
and the prospects are better today than
they have been in years, accordiug to tele
graph linemen who have been working in
that part of the State. The maistur~ from
the snow penectrated to a depth of six
feet in many places, farmers told the linee

CLARK'S COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 6.—London
news says that England is dealing with
the strike situation by forming vfivman
committees Liverpooi cotton shows
steadiness in the face of the disturbing
news, being 16 to 20 higher than due,
with spot prices practically unchaged.
Our market opened unchanged to 16
up on the better Liverpool and indica
tions for another bad spell of weather,
but the bearish opening in New._ York
turned action to selling and brought
May down to around 22c. The techni
cal situation in the contract market
exercised a checking effect.
The market not orfiy has gone through
a most thorough process of liquidation
but the turn in sentiment during this
liguidation process has piled up short
interest. We have gone down on re
adjustment ideas, exports difficulties,
supply accumulated, strike news until
bearish resources of sentiment and
imagination should now be drained to
the finish and discounted.
The market in its present technical
shape can hardly go down again on the
same news and reasons, and therefore
the Fall River and Lawrence news of
more mill strikes did not have the effect
bears expected. Fall River says two
mill sclosed indefinitely, the American
Printing Company and the Fall River
Iron Works, because of the lack of busi
ness and difficulty with employees over
working hours. }
The market after the opening decline
railied 30 points, but another selling at
tack made its appearance shortly after
the close of Liverpool and threw prices
down 50 points.
GRAIN NOTES,
Houses in Chicago who were sellers of
corn the previous day were noticeable buy
ers on the break. It was gossiped that
the long interest has been greatly reduced
and the shbort interast ir creased, one op- |
erator being short several million hushol!.!
The pit eleraeat looks for lower prices,
based on the general business situation.
. . -
Chicago—There I 8 a disposition on !hu-l
part of local traders to anticipate a mod
vrate reaction in the corm market, Senti
ment still favors lower prices, but there
I 8 an idea that the decline has been too |
rapid Movment from the country .-nml
the tone of the Western cash markets will
determine the trend of prices. At the !
present time these markets are heavy. The
better grades of corn and rye are sellmg‘
at practically the same price, whieh s
an item not contributing to the comfort of |
holders of corn. \

Clement Curtis says: ‘‘General huninons‘
situation favors lower prices for commodi- |
ties and a good selling corn and oats mars
ket is inevitabie for some time on the ad
vances," . |
