A short 1915 trade-journal editorial on the cotton market in the autumn of that year. It reports that a government crop forecast of under two-thirds of a crop sent cotton prices up to about 13 cents per pound, from under 10 cents a month earlier and 6 to 7 cents a year earlier. It also notes that the 1915 crop was baled entirely with American-made steel hoops, because European supplies were cut off, even though cotton ties were on the free list under the Underwood-Simmons tariff act.
