CURRENCY AND COTTON.
* The squeezing of water out of cor
. poration securities has not affected
the people of this section of the coun
try. Money is tied up here, not in
watered securities, but cotton bags,
and those bags are not classed as
Ci perishable. ’ 1 They can be carried
over to the time when the home banks
can secure from their New York
banks plenty of currency. The coN
ton bales can be kept on hand. They
are on hand and the holders of the
coveted bales feel strong and secure.
Everybody in the cotton belt know s
the crop is not a large one. It is not
in the 13,000,000-bale class. It may
not exceed 12,000,000 bales, but what
ever its size may prove to be all
know that a naked world will need
every bale of it, and holders are in
no hurry to sell on a sagging market.
The lack of currency may be in
convenient on the farms, but it is
better to suffer inconvenience than to
pocket downright losses when the pro
ducer parts with the bales he has
made. It is the plain duty of all far
mers who have cotton to sell to awn : '
the offer of satisfactory prices. There
will soon be pkmty of currency in the
banks in the (3|k>n belt. It is flow
ing out of New daily, but mon
etary ease is not alone sufficient. A
e satisfactory price must go along with
it before cotton will be turned loose
in great volume. The foreign spin
ners, including those of New Eng
land, will soon see the situation as
it really exists. It is the old familiar
deadlock between seller and buyer,
and the currency troubles really have
but little effect upon it. The south
ern farmer will be all right if he will
saw wood and say nothing.—Age-Tie r
