Hester's Annual Report on Cotton
(By the Associated Press.)


New Orleans, Aug. 31.The totals of
Secretary Hester's annual report of
the cotton crop of the United States
were given out this evening. They
show receipts of cotton at all United
States ports for the year 7,252,222,
against 1924, 104 last year; overland to
Northern mills and Canada 939, 943.
against 1908, 1893; Southern consumD-
ton taken direct from the interior of
the cotton belt 1.19S,209, against L.
920,027, making the cotton crop &c
the United States for 10000 amount
to 10,011,374 against 1927, $50 last
year and 10,6S0,6S the year before.
Colonel Hester has made his usual
investigation into the consumption of
the South and has received reports by
mail and telegraph from mills cOnsum-
ing cotton in the cotton growing
States, including wooden mills that
have used cotton and the results show
a total of 1,091,252 but of this 1907
043 were taken from ports and includ-
ed in port receipts. This shows that
the mills of the South have used up
.S1,477 bales less than during 1902-'03
and 1878 less than during 1901-'O2,
the decrease being due to the unsat-
isfactory condition of the trade and
the relatively high prices of the raw
material compared with the manufac-
tured product during most of the sea-
son.
