The around is full of moisture and the crop will come alonur raoidlv if it has plenty of sunshine The acreage is probably 10 per cent larger than laat year, but the cotton-consuming world needs a crop at least 50 per cent larger than last year's. The foreign demand is rising and reserves are diminishing. Tbe great decline which took placer in the fall of 1920 and early part of 1921 prompted the curtailment of 1921 and brought the reserves down to a point where another short crop will mean prices high enough to, force a curtailment of con sumption. Tbe price ia ranging now between 22 and 23 cents per pound, and is approximately double the price at this time last year.

Cotton goods have followed the rising prices of raw cotton slowly. Manufacturers have complained that profits depended upon previous purchases of raw material, but of late con fidence in the higher range of prices is stronger. Wool is a little less active, but in a strong position. The western producers have generally sold, and realized very satisfactory prices. The Montana production is said to have brought around 40 cents per pound.

Woolen goods have had Beveral advances to cover cost of material, and are, about 12 per cent higher than at the season's opening. The silk goods industry, which has been having very quiet times reports an improving: demand and firmer prices. Pendleton News Mrs. W. Harry Scephenson and daughters.
