the 10th inst. made conditions the poorest
IN twenty-seven years, or 64.2. against
SOL last month and 70.S last September.
Based on government figures, the indicated
crop appears to be only about 6. 900 900 bales.
Had it indicated 100000 crop, we think
more faith would have been placed in
them. The best opinion defers expression.
crop adVices never grew worse In July and
August. The average decline In August
this year has been three times as large
as an average of former years. The

In August were 1910 bales, against 1854
IN August, 1886; that last years averge bale

evidently reserves must have been de-
pleted or figures are misleading. The
amount of cotton carried over this season
was about ten times larger than crop
guessers. predicted last May and July.
We think 1t quite possible the cotton In
'spinners' hands In the United States and
the manufactured goods in excess of pre-
vious years equals about as much as av-
erage supplies, and that consumption the
coming year will deplete stocks far below
e seven years average. 1T Is estim lted
Europe consumes about 70 per cent Of the
total consumption of American cotton;
that the United States grows about six
tenths of the worlds crop; that China
grows and consumes one-tenth. India
about two-tenths, and that the yearly crop
and consumption Is about 10, 900 bales
Of 500 pounds each. Texas average pro-
duction for last ten years equals about
1,S35.O00 bales. Crop guessers now predict
crop of from 100000 bales to 1000 900
bales. The average lowest price for cot
ton for December delivery the past ten
years during September has been S.4 cents,
the highest average 9.O2: lowest price,
same time, 6.03, in 1894: highest, 1890, in
1890. September often makes radical
changes, sometimes lays the foundation
for a. good crop, and sometimes frost
