Speculators Are Making Herculean
Efforts to Discourage Hold
ers of Spot Cotton.
Never before in the history of
the cotton trade has such a multi
tudinous amount of “Bear" dope
and intentional misrepresentation
of actual facts been given to the
Mouth through paid advertisements
in the columns of the press and by
the distribution of circular letters
through the mails. Operators who
are moving heaven and earth to de
press future contracts and the pric
es of spot cot ton are cudgeling their
brains in the modern art oi jog
gling figures and making new high
records in distorting statistics in
the supreme effort to make a small
yield of American cotton take on
the appearance of a plentiful sup
ply. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been expended in the
past two months in cablegrams,
telegrams, paid articles in news
papers, postage and market letters
in an heculean undertaking to de
ceive the public, discourage the
farmers and local spot holders in
to rushing the n mnant of this
crop on the market, unsettle pub
Jic opinion in the South temporar
ily so as to break the market and
induce liquidation.
The spinners have threatened to
withdraw from the market, which
is an absurdity in the face of their
enormous commitments of the en
tire output of their mills for the
next six to eight months. Promi
rent “Hear” leaders take peculiar
interest in daily publi-hii g com
parative estimates of this crop
with years that have none before.
The tangled and muchly juggled
.statistics emanate from the offices
of gentlemen who breathe the at
mosphere of a climate one thous
and miles from Southern cotton
fields and whose e;, es have not
witnessed the actual condition of
a single cotton Held in the South
this year, 'l he statistics and daily
reports which they put out in the
stupendous effort for private gain
are simply the nightmares oi ov
ercharged brains reflecting indi
vidual views in the forlorn hope
of changing at least temporarily
the law of supply and demand.
The interest of the spot holder is
not considered. The great consid
oratum is paper contracts and hot
air.
Thousands of people read this
“Bearish Dope" scattered over
the South dail.\ and know it to be
false, yet they tremble in doubt
and surrender their honest convic
tions and Southern manhood be
fore the edicts which emanate
from the line Italian hands of their
enemies. This crop can no more
l>e compared with past yields in
the matter of picking, ginning
and selling than could the enor
mous production of lift*4.
Let every man in the South
stand pat on the actual conditions
which confront him. Spurn these
juggled statistics as you would an
adder invading the holy precincts
of your home and remain fixed
and unalterable in your determi
nation to secure higher prices for
the balance of this crop, which
will unquestionably prove to be
one of the smallest grown in a
number of years.

BOLD 5CHEME TO DEFRAUD.
One of the boldest schemes ofj
thieving: probably ever heard of
has been discovered by the officers
at Pine Bluff, and as a result five
negroes are in jail. It is charged
that these negroes have defrauded j
the Arkansas Cotton Oil Company !
out of the price of TO wagon loads
of cotton seed, and it is believed;
that the practice has been going
on indefinitely.
The negroes had two wagons
which were exactly alike in ap
pearance, and in one they would
drive a load of seed upon the scales
of the company to be weighed,but
instead of driving to the seed
house to unload the negro would
drive off to where the empty wag
on was waiting, hitch onto it,drive 1
back, get his weights, and draw
the money for the seed. It is
claimed that in this manner the
same load of seed was sold to the
company at least To times, with
various articles hidden in the seed
at different times to vary the
weight.
