PREDICTS COTTON WILL
GO TO 18 CENTS A POUND
That upland middling cotton
may sell at 18 cents per pound
and even higher, is the belief of
John F. Boyle, widely known
Little Rock cotton man, whore
turned Saturday from Eastern
markets.
“I think that extremely high
''prices for cotton will prevail
this season and for several
year to come,” said Mr. Boyle.
(Several week ago I expressed
the opinion that upland mid
dling cotton would certainly
sell at 16 cents a pound in our
market, and I now think 18
cents or even higher,quite prob
able. My views are based not
only on the short crop being
gathered in the South but be
cause of the enormous demand
for dry goods and other p,ro
ucts of cotton. — Arkansas
