Nr g. T. Dickinson is another broker
WHOSE views coincided with those
o. Mr. Cuts. Mr.. Dickinson thinks
that under the influence Of the
warm days that have helped che
crop so materially OF late. an
impetus has been gained that will mean
a much larger yield than was expected
81 fros; will delay It's appearance untii
very late IN the season.
The average date Tor the appearance of
light frost IN this section has not vet
been reached II Is Nov. g. From the
humidity and high temperature that have
prevailed lately one would guess that
It's appearance this season will be some
time later than Nov. 8. The average date
for the appearance Of killing frost IN thi.
section IS Nov. - by which time. Is
believed by the gentlemen quoted. sum

plants 10 produce a heavier top crop than
WAS anticipated
should the frost not make itself felt
until very late. Mr.. Dickinson said.

Mr. Cults does not anticipate any de-
preston In the price OF cotton as re-
suit Of a heavier top crop than was look
cd for. provided q Is made. Even with an
Increase. nc says, the supply will not ox-
cerd tho demand There win be no cotton
lef over. as the consumption win be fully
as great as the production. That will mean
good prices. He expects a repetition OF
thc history OF cotton prices OF last win
ter and spring.
The present depression Is attributed by
MI Cults 20 a selling pressure In the
West He believes an advance Of as much
as a cent Is in prospect as soon as the
IS esterm crop has been cold. There has
been a desire 20 sell In the West. he

that desire. Offering less and having u
