CONDITION OF COTTON CROP
Reply of Col. Duncan to Inquiry
From Atlanta Constitution.

In response to Il telegram from
the Atlanta Constitution on the
cotton crop condition in this State,
Manager Duncan of the Alliance
Exchange yesterday sent the fol-
lowing reply:
There has been Il decided decline
of ut least 50 per cent. from the
indication in July, as Il result of
the August drought. There is
no August or top crop except in
few favored sections.
In all the md lie and lower
counties fully so per cent. of the
cotton crop is open and very near
ly gathered, ard it is rapidly be-
ing put upon the market. In the
upper or Piedmont section the
cotton, while late, has also been
badly damaged by the August
drought.
| do not think this crop will
exceed the last years crop, in the
number of bales made. The in
creasein acreage will onIycounter-
balance .he bad crop influences.
