supply for the year, 6,S0000O bales. In
creased acreage last year per cent, or
$40 900 bales, making an available supply

given for what it is worth.

reports that the cotton crop of the country
will not aggregate more than 100000
bales. We begin to suspect that Brad. is an
aggravated type of "bull."
