High Price for Seed A prominent Mississippi cotton man, who was on the floor of the exchange recently re-cently showed a telegram from home that said that $36 a ton was being paid for cotton seed. This means 53G to the farmer. farm-er. Whatever may be tho demand for the lint, it is evident that tho seed Is much wanted. Just what S36 a ton for seed means will be understood when It Is stated that $3G a ion means J18 for the seed from the cotton that goes to make up one fiOO-potmd bale. This means that the planter Is getting almost as much for his seed as he once obtained for his lint. The same gentleman who received tho wire quoting the price being paid for seed remarked: "I have purchased many a bale of cotton for $18." Some years ago agriculturists were talking about the possibility of a seedless cot-Ion. cot-Ion. No farmer would care much for a cotton like that now. There Is a lint-less lint-less cotton, however, a cotton whose boll contains only seeds. At the present price of cotton seed there might be money in raising this sort of cotton. If the price of seed continues to mount skyward sky-ward some enterprising farmers will undoubtedly un-doubtedly experiment with llntless cotton. cot-ton. World's Cotton Market. Ono of the most Interesting features of the commercial situation is the controversy con-troversy over the indorsement of cotton bills of" lading, and there are those who aro of tho opinion that before It Is over there will be some charges which will havo far reaching effect. Tho foreign banker Jias played a pretty prominent part In the handling of the cotton crop heretofore and has mailc a very pretty profit out of It. In order to avoid losses for which he himself has ocen largely responsible, because of loose business methods, ho has tried to mako the Amer ican banker assume all the risk of loss. jNODody has ever uccuscd the New York fra,tc"ilty of being "como-ons" when iho chnsc of tho nimble dollar Is mnil!?i:.

Proluct of our southern fields tnat, although cotton is not a rood. England Eng-land would starve if Its supply of American Ameri-can cotton were cut off. The contlrtent or isuropo takes moro American cotton than does Great Britain. That the United btatcs is ablo to financo Its own cotton crop thero Is no doubt. New York banks nac in the past been represented as bo-ing bo-ing antagonistic to cotton. Such a claim can no longer be made. There Is a small group of banks In New York very much interested in cotton today. A few years ago they wore very little Interested, Interest-ed, Tlienc banks aro stronger than all llie banks of Liverpool ana Have probably prob-ably resources as groat as all the foreign for-eign banks that havc for years been Interested In-terested In cotton. There will bo no trouble In financing all tho cotton raised In the south without the aid of foreign money. Tho man with the balo op tho street will find the money In the local bank to buy It. Tho question of tho financing of cotton morchants Is another matter- If foreign banks wish to withdraw with-draw from cotton it will effect individuals indi-viduals and interests, but it will not hurt the farmer. The person injured most will no the foreign consumer. Tho American money that will go to finance the crop. If the forolgnor Is through with tho business, may not bo an cheap as foreign for-eign money certainly its sympathy will not be with the boar side of the market to the extent that that of foreign inonov Is and all this will tend to increase the price of cotton.
