expressed. The plantation price, which
is the actual rate tor cotton sol at the
gin. averages 7,3 cents per pound. For
the five years preceding the range was
from 81 to Sc cents This decline is
echoed in the records sofexportation whicr
averaged in October value ot SO cents
against 1O.l cents for October of last
