Damage to Texas Cotton.


Houston, Texas, October 21.-Reports
from all sections of tho State show that
the disaster to tho Texas cotton crop is
every bit as great as has been represented.
In many sections of the State picking
has boon completed and the crop is
shown to be anywhere from DO to 90 per
cont less than that Of last year. The per
centage will not hold good for the State
at large, but the Indications now are
that the decrease will be fully 80 per
cont. and 30 per cent of the Toxas crop
means in excess of 100000 bales. At
$40 per bale, the present price, it means
a loss of s32, 200, 900 to the State on the
one product, and the farmers have to
hear tho brunt of it. In addition to tho
loss in tho cotton :tself, tho State also
loses the cotton seed products, which
cannot be manufactured on account of
the shortness of seed and also loses the
value of q large number of cattle which
are usually fattened at the oil mills
during the winter. These two itoms
will run the total up to fully $50, 1000, 600.
