Notable Improvement In business conditions In the south within the last few peeks' is in-' dlcated In reports from merchants, cotton factors and bankers from all over tho section. The last month in lar, business men assert, has developed, tho recuperative power of tho cotton states. In alt theso states cotton which was soiling a few months ago for a Hltlo moro than six cents a pound, now la finding a comparatively ready market at above eight cents. Since, the government report of November 1, the Increase of two cents a pound in the selling price of cotton, with the corresponding advance- In the price of cotton seed, according to tho figures and estimates of exports has resulted In a net Increase during this period or ap-1 proximately $120,000,000 in tho cash value of cotton. Tho effect of this enhanced value, It is mated, has been felt In ovcry lino of business in tho south.

ConsoiVatlvo observers of the situation ay that never has there been such a holding movement In the south as that noted since the opening of the present cotton season. At the outbreak of tho European war, fall deliveries of cotton ranged from twelvo to thirteen cents a pound, which with a crop estimated at moro than bales, forecast a season of remarkable activity; With the European markets suddenly closed and tho exchanges suspended, tho price abruptly decreased about one-half. ADJUSTMENT AWAITED. When the mills entered the market for their usual fall HUpply they found; the market Blosed. Fhrmera refused to nnd business, which depends so largely upon moving of the cotton marked time awaiting renmust--ment of, conditions.

About December 1, improvement began, owing, It is said, to the resumption of ahlpmenta and the adjustment and reopening of the exchange markets both at home and abroad. Today throughout the south the n.ovement of cotton from. farm to market Is steadily progressing, and as a r-jault, according to reliable the farmers aro nrivtne thoir- debts to tho 1 merchanToVrstfpiilies. the merchants aro vmeetine their obligations to the small banks nnd they In return are settling their accounts with tho larger banks, 'ihe general business tone is declared optimistic. Tn statistical statement of the situation, 11.

G. Hester, secretary of the Now Orleans Cotton Exchange, mentions that on Nov. 1 last, the federal department of agriculture figured the average price pf cotton: to producers at about W1.50 per bale, -while today the same bole is worth about JIO more. CONSTERNATION PREVAILED. "At that time," Air.

Hester says, "with-the cotton exchanges practically closed, the trade for several months had been drifting with -no fixed standard of value. Gulf states farmers were selling at one price and Atlantic stato farmers at another. Consternation prevailed. From Aug. 1 to Nov.

1, 1914, farmers marketed bales, or 2,313,000 bales less than was marketed during the corresponding three months of the previous year. But the figures show that from Nov. 1, '11114, to Jan. 22, iDhVCSOhOOO bales were marketed, as compared to 5,598,000 bales brought into sight during the same period last-season. Thus, dlneft thn x- changes have opened, the south has marketed at an advancing value, almost utiles, exceeding last years movement for tho same period by bales.

"The world's sunnlv of Ameri can cotton Jan. 22. last, was 5.217.0UO bales. The 3I)H crop generally Is esti- nt ml hilt PS. nf which have beeh.

marketed, leaving G.780,000 to be marketed. The visible supply and that 'be marketed totals 11,1117,000 bales. Ott, a basis of $10 a bale advance. the increase In value since Nov. 1 last has beeh: $119,470,000, and practically, all of this Increase belongs to the south.

Thus the south Is hotter off today by approximately $120,000,000 than such was on iov. last. "Tho growing confidence in cotton hold to be due largely to the exncctntlon that cotton fanners will make themselves self-sustaining, it not produce a surplus of food crops, for sule.
