The Cotton Movement.

According to the official report OF
the National Cotton Exchange OF
America, the cotton crop of the
1918, received at the shipping
ports, amounts to 4,33i, 100 bales,
against 4,O3j,OS3 for the previous
year. OF this large total l.:6l ,Jl9
bales were received at New Orleans.
and are credited to this port. the
total receipts were, however, nearly
son, 900 bales in excess of these liz
ures, the excess being sent hlthcl
from other receiving ports. Hence
the fact that our exports for the
year were considerably above our
total of accredited receipts.
y curious fact in connection with
our cotton statistics is the pIoni.
hence which Norfolk, Va, has OF
late years assumed as n cotton port.

Besides the receipts at shipping
ports the shipments over land and
