This statement makes the total receipts
at all the ports since the 1st of September
2,592, 900 bales, against l, 1913, 900 for the
same time last year, an increase of Ga,
600 bales. The receipts last week show
an excess of 10, 900 bales over the preyl-
Gus weeks, and of this increase 5000
was at New Orleans alone. The receipts
at New Orleans were %, 416 bales against
6,9O5 for the corresponding week last
year. The total receipts at New Orleans
up to last Friday evening have been l.
O74, 752, against 7S5,27S for the same
time last year, showing an increase of
Zo9,474 bales. The total receipts at New
Orleans for the season promises to be
about 100000 bales. The New Or
leans Times says in its market report
of Saturday evening:
With regard to our own receipts. the
increase is but little more than was gener-
ally expected. In relation to the matter.
the Price Current says:
Whatever may be theeffect elsewhere.
our liberal receipts have had little or no
influence here, the free arrivals under the
recent rise in the tributaries HAVING been
anticipated, and it being conjectured that
.hey VIII be followed within fortnight
by marked falling off,"
And in another paragraph, in noticing
the accounts from above, it adds:
with free navigation in all the tribu-
tar1es, planters and holders in the interior
have pushed their cotton forward freely.
and the receipts have consequently been
quite liberal, but the chief point of in
terest has been the upper Red River,
where the supplies are stated bv the
factors engaged in the trade to be of only
moderate extent, say 10000 bales. or at
the outside $4,000 bales above the raft,
while some statements have been nub.
lshed III the daily press giving larger
IiSuIes' Whatever there is will, no
doubt, come out in the present rise; after
which we may look for rapid falling off |
in the receipts"
ms, we believe, may be accepted as
the conservative view in our cotton cir
cles. Whatever there may be above the
raft viii, no doubt come out on the pres
ent rise, and then we shall be dependent |
tor the rest of the season on light shin |
ments from below the raft, from the
Ouachita and other tributaries, and from
the Mississippi landings. With none but
these sources of supply, VIC agree with
the Pr5ce Current that eve may look |
for rapid falling off in the receipts"
The receipts continued liberal, the
amount proper for the past twenty-four
hours being 4,0G5 bales, against l, IA on
last Saturday, and 693 last year, and the
total since September l, 1922, 7OS bales
against 755, 233 last year, showing an ex.
cess OF 267, 475 bales.
