THE NEW COTTON SEASON.


The annual cotton report OF secretary
Hester OF the New Orleans cotton ex-
chance, NJ published in this MORNINGS
Post contains several surprises, as well
as much Interesting aud valuable intorma-
tlon
The greatest surprlse perhaps. Is the
announcement that the total United states
crop for the past season WIS N.i3e.tt
bales The amount OF tho crop that had
come into sioht from Sentemher /, 1899,
10 July 1. 1900 was a little less than
10000 bales The total July and Angus
movement was certainly not moro than
15n, NOO bales and allowing 30 on for the
seasons corrections. there was no reason
to expect the statistics to indicate more
than 2noooo bales for the commercial
crop. The eSs nno IN excess Of this natural
expectation ia undoubtedly due to too low
an estimate Of the weekly consumption
nv Southern mills,
That Is the second great surprise as
shown by these annual statlstics--the
Southern consumption for the year was
I. 500 600 bales. or 100000 bales more than
the previous wears total Such showing
rs this is Indeed remarkable with cot
ton selling Mt the HIGHEST prices recorded
in years. and with Northern mills and
European spinners taking less than usual.
the South comes to the front with tho
greatest consumption yet recorded. From
100000 bales In lSSs-lS9O 10 100000 in
1899 1900 is indeed big jump In ten yesrs.
The third surprise in Secretary Hesters

made therefrom. is that the world has

cotton during the past year the con Jump.
