tea entirely To deficiency In the crop, /
althor.h that Is the greatest cause.
Part OF he loss is to be attributed 10 action of

itants Ii Is the result OF acknowledgement |
all aroui Il and Dallas shippers, men whose |
homes are here, are much to blame Tor the |
loss. II Is 10 he hoped that they learned {.
lesson. Before changing from the subject of
cotton, We would aad that the number OF
bale con pressed up 10 January 81, 1889, was
2,,l55, and the number of bales
shipped Hat was 300. For the cores
ponding period one year ago, the number
compressed was 81 077 bales and the number
January 81, 1884, was l,Ti5 bales. This year
the Uady demand has accelerated ship
ments, and stocks have not been al
i 1atc beyond 70 IN" 800 bales. n The " World
is sensible of the double shortage and buys
eagerly ut the rates given. Quotations here
are nominal The cotton that reaches TINS
point now Is usually sold before IL comes,
and II may be sal that there Is
no t!aiing in cotton at Dallas
The same remark applies as well 10 wool
