COTTON CROP OF 1901 -o2.
Reports show to Have Been 9,9O6.-
AIS Commercial Bales.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The final re-
port of the statistician of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, shows the actual
growth of cotton in the United States
in the year 19O1-02 to have been 1885,
AIS commercial bales. of which 1850
bales were marketed before Sept. 1.
1901, and 1896. 1876 bales between Sept.
], 1901, and Aug. 81, 1902, 1882 bales
being carried forward to the year
l902-O3. The commercial crop Of the
year amounted to 10,663,224 bales. thus
exceeding the amount actually grown
by 500, 746 bales. This excess was due
in the main to the very extensive mar
keting of cotton held over from pre-
vious years.
The difference between the statistic
fans preliminary estimate of the
amount grown. issued Dec. 81. 1901.
and the amount of cot
ton that has come into
commercial channels during the year
having been used to discredit the sta
tistician's reports on the crop of the
present year, a most exhaustive inves-
tigatiOn of the commercial crop and its
composition has been made by the de-
partment, a large force of special
agents having personally visited every
important point in the South. The re-
suits of their Investigations are sum-
married in the following statement:
The amount of cotton brought for
ward on Sept. 1, 1901, was $4,000 bales
and 1880 bales of the crop of 1902
03 were marketed prior to the first of
September. There also entered into
the commercial crop 1925 bales of
linters and 67,572 bales made up of
sample and waste cotton, known to the
trade as the city crop. This latter, as
will readily be understood, is counted
twice being taken from bales already
counted in the commercial movement.
With regard to linters, the report
says that the enormous growth of the
seed crushing industry has resulted in
an important addition to the crop, the
perfect delinting of the seed which re-
suits from the use of improved ma
contributing to the annual
commercial crop, an item that can no
longer be ignored. An equally exhaus-
tive investigation shows that the total
purchase of cotton by Southern mills
during the year ending Aug. 81, 1902,
to 1881, 532 bales.
