the fact that the remnant of the old crop
consists mainly of undesirable grades. 1t

cient to sustain present prices.
Advices from manufacturing centers in

reason for the raw staple to decline.

on the market in the first three months
OF the commercial year, beginning Septem-
Der l. and are predicting that this will
cause much lower prices.
Crop advices are very good throughout
the cotton belt and everything at present
indicates another large yield. This is the
only bad feature of the situation, for GER
tainly from standpoint of demand, and
the worlds needs, cotton ought to be sell
ing much higher today. The consumption
has never been larger, and the stock on
hand Is not Cumbersome. 1t has been
decreasing during the past month at a
much greater rate than was recorded last
year. The worlds visible supply is now
less than 1t was at the corresponding date
in 1895 by something like 100000 bales
while consumption is larger by at least
100000 bales per annum. Take In con-
nection with these statistics the fact that
the price now is S625 per bale lowcr than
1t was then, and that trade is now boom
