IL Is DelleNeu tndt some Oh the JCAdS
crop that as a rule is sent in bulk TO
New orleans, will be diverted this year
TO other points because of the qudran-
tine regulations against New Orleans.
The effort Of Louisiana to have quaran-
tine raised by injunction from United
States courts will not have very soothing
effect upon the direction of cotton ship
ments to New Orleans. This is mentioned
simply as a pointer in making up esu-
mates; how much to allow, if anything,
for this cause must be left to each mans
judgment.
