The Phenomenal Cotton
Crop.

Yesterday the weekly report of the
cotton movement, published by Mr.. H.
G. Hester. Of the Cotton Exchange, show
ed that the amount of the last cotton
crop marketed to date had reached and
passed the eight million bale point.
But few years ago crop of eight mil
lion bales was considered an impossible
lily, many authorities having asserted
boldly that it would be impossible for
the South TO pick and market such a
yield. The cold facts prove, however,
that more than eight million bales have
been made and picked this season, as
more than eight million bales have
already reached market from plantations.
The attaining of the eight million
bale point naturally created much in
terest in cotton circles yesterday. and
added new zest to the guessing as to
how many hundred thousand bales over
the eight million bale mark the crop
will finally go. Few authorities now
lions. which will be yield fully mil
lion and a quarter bales larger than
that of last year, which in turn was the
largest crop on record.
There is reason to believe that the cot
ton yield of the past season was eXtraOr-
binary for the acreage planted, but ne
vertheleSs it shows very clearly that I'M
less efforts are made to curtail the acre
age the limits of the SOuth's ability to
produce cotton have not by any means
been reached. Further and material in
creases in acreage are possible, but it is
not probable that such policy will be
followed in the near future, owing to
the evidence Of the past season that the
worlds consumption does not increase
fast enough TO keep pace with any such
growth in the size of the American cot
ton crop as that of the past season.
While, therefore, the experience of the
past season proves that curtailment of
the cotton acreage would be advisable
for the present, it also shows that it
would be rash to as yet set any limit to
the capacity Of this section to produce
cotton. No matter what the increase in
the consumption of cotton may prove,
there is little danger but that the South
will be ample able to keep pace with it
for many years to cOme.-Picayune.
