VERY INTERESTINGLY
OF CONDITIONS

Nearly All Of States Show Phe

"Why Is lt that the cotton market
13 holding up .BO well?" waa a quoa:
tlon naked Mr. P K. McCully, Jr.,
yesterday.
"There are Av?rai good reasons,"
replied Mr. McCu'.ly "The relative
ly strong statistical position, tOfGth
er with the fact? tliat the marke;
BceniB thoroughly innccuiatcd with
war done, enables, thc price of cot
ton to maintain the present level

pears to bo in .a balanced'condition.
Tho ? swings iit> or down from now
on will bo governed entirely by
weather conditions.
"Nearly all of the states fcfiow tho
May condition to bo below.the tea
year average, . and the late H ta rt to
gether with inferior fertilizers ls
going to bo. hard to overcomG, unless
conditions prove abnormally .favor
able for tho remainder of the sea
son.
"Eased on this ycaTs phenomenal
increase, the next annual domestic
consumption^ should show about 8,
000,000 bales, and assuming that the
war is still on, there hi no reason to
expect exports to be less than tbl&
year, which how promise , to appro
ximate 0,000,006 bales. Therefore in
our present financial condition, to
gether with the system of marketing
tho crop over ,?n extended .period qt
time, 14,000,000 ?bales should not
prove an excessive weight on thc
market. But,.-'.should ensuing Boa
sonB bo sufflqlohtly unfavorable to
cut this crop to 12.000,000 bales or
lesa, there will necessarily he a
scramble for cotton at advancing
prices. . , / . ...
"In the light Of existing conditions
tho oddB appear tQi.be for a fifty point
decline against, ? possible three cents
advance, and should peace bo added
to tho bull side ol' the argument, the
man who predicts, the top will be
some guesser."
