COTTON CROP TALK.
Varying Estimates of the Number of Bales
for This Year.


The condition of the cotton crop and
speculations as to the seasons supply,
together with various opinions on the
future price of the staple, is agiUahng
the entire South at present. The recent
advance in prices has caused considera-
BILE excitement and the general benefit to
the entire cotton belt has been felt.
The generals impression and opinions
of leading factors are that the crop will
be about two-thirds OF that of last season
and they estimate as the basis that up
to the week ending Saturday, Novem.
Der, 26, last year, the receipts we've A.
100000 bales, while this season the re-
ceipts were only 3, 1914, 900 ba.es; that at
this time last year one half of the entire
crop, which was 100000 bales, was
marketed, and if that is the case this
year, the entire crop will be only $685.
0CO bales. 1t is also afil med that mer-
chants, traders and spectators rushed
into the country and bought cotton at
advanced prices. Hepce, the present
rise in the price and the benefits received
by farmers and dealers alike. Many
think that-the prices will continue TO
advance, and one factor stated that ne
expected cotton to bring Il cents by
June /, 1898.
A factor who received concise reports
from Mississippi, Louisiana and Ala
bama, stated that in his opinion the
crop was at least % per cent short OF
that of last year, and that in a great
many places the farmers had sent the
last of their crop to the market. He
said that gins in several sections hac
closed down for the season, but stih
there was Somo cotton coming from
those localities.
Another factor stated that he did t
take much stockin the statement that
the crop would be as low as 5000, 600
bales. as many put it, but there would
be at least 6.75O,000 bales this season.
He said that speculation had made the
stir in the market, and that he would
no. be surprised to see the ice
fall and fuctuate materially during the
next few months.
There is one fact, however, that is OF
interest to the farmers as we'll as all
dealers in the staple, aud LllIi is that I'll e
world needs at least 100000 bales OF
cotton from this country for actual con-
sumption, and if this country this sea-
son has only produced 6,0OO,COO bales
the next season will commence without
single bale of cotton on the market.
Cotton goods are already advancing in
price.
1t is stated that the farmers planted
all the cotton that they could this year.
They couldn't get advances to plant
any more. They were held back by
those who usually advance money for
the crop, and it is the general opinioA,
too, among the leading factors, that the
farmers rushed their cotton to market
this season, notwithstanding the fact
that the gencral estimat were low,
thinking that that the story of short
crop was an old story which they had
needed to their sorrow for four or five
seasons past.
However, the South has been benefit
ed by the present advance in prices,
and those who have cotton to sell can
sell it now and be happy, while the
prospects for next season are especially
bright.
