Cotton’s Ups and Downs |
~ Few basic commodities have!
shown such extreme fluctuations |
in price as has cotton, ranging‘i
ifrom $1.90 a pound down toa|
fraction less than 5 cents. i
The *highest price wpaid for|
cotton since the World War W&Sé
in 1920, when it brought 42 cents|
apound.. During the present de-|
pression it reached the lowest!
price in 100 years, about 4.95;
cents, j
The all time high price was |
$1.90 in 1864, when the Cival War|
redur;ed the American crop to]
only 300,000 bales. The highest|
production was reached in the |
United Statesin 1926, approxi-l
mately 18 wmiliion bales. The}
greate:st return from any Ameri ,
can crop was received in 1919,
when 11,420,763 bales were pro
duced and sold for a little more
than two billion dollars. In 1931
all7 millicn bale crop brought
only $485,611,000, cir considerable
less than one fourth as much as
the smaller crop of 1919,
| An interesting experiment is
;the government’s present policy
{of payiog farmers to plow up a
\part of their cotton crep, and
‘the renting of ecotton land to keep
{it out of production. The heavy
‘expense of this program, -of
gconrse, must be borne by the
?general public through higher
itaxes and higher prices for eot
! ton goods. :
