COT TON.

| This Is 35 days earlier than date upon
which the first bale of new cotton
made it's appearance last year. The
earliest previous bale was received at
Houston, Tex, on the 22nd of June,
1901. In that year during the month
of August, 1912 bales of new cotton
were received at the ports and inter-
| ior towns. In the succeeding year
1902, when the first Texas bale made
! it's appearance at Houston on the first
of July the total August receipts of
new cotton at the ports and interior
| towns were 202,S40 bales, while last
| year the first new bale of cotton made
| its appearance at Galveston on July
IS, and the total receipts of new cot
ton at the ports and interior towns
for the month of August were only T.
| 118 bales. From this may be gathered
some idea of how far the first new bale
Is an index of the probably August
| movement For fuller details as to
| the date upon which the first bale of
| new cotton has been received, and the
| receipts of new cotton in August, ref
erence is made to pace rs of Shopper
| sons Cotton Facts editions of Deem
Der, 1903. Should receipts of new cot
ton during the month of August be
as large as they were in 1908, the pos
| sibility of any August corner would
| seem to be very remote. Meantime,
| crop accounts continue almost per-
feet, and l subjoin specimen advices re-
| ceived by me, and others to-day. 1t
is well to bear in mind that the next
government report will be made up
as of the date of June rs, which date
| is only twelve days off, and should
the crop receive no setback during the
next twelve days it is not impossible
that the July report will show the
highest condition on record for that
time. / shall appreciate it If my
friends throughout the South will con-
tinue to advise me by mail of the pro-
gress of the crop in their section.
