planters estimate the loss at 40 per
cent Cotton has been shedding
for the past thirty days. This was
caused by long dry spell. The
boil worm has done much damage
more thanfor many years past.
Picking is moving along satisfac-

ers will hold cotton as long as they
can. realizing that a very short

The cotton crop conditions for
the period ending August 25th. as
reported by the government, are
similar to those prevailing at the
same date last year, the general
average for the entire cotton Sec
ton being Sal per cent. This per
centage is higher than was expect
ed, considering. the unfavora BILE
weather prevailing during August
and, as a result, the market expe-
rienced a considerable decline.
The drop. however, was greater
than circumstances justified, as
the subsequent reaction disclosed.
There can be little doubt that
cotton will sell at good prices, a nd
no reason at all but that it will
command as much as it did last
year. The crop promises to be
little larger and the demand will
be equally as great. Also, there
will be great demand for cotton
goods at advanced prices, which
will influence the mill men to come
into the market early and buy
heavily to supply raw material to
keep their mills going throughout
the year These things will make
cotton a much sought after CON-
modify, and consequently will
make il bring a good price.
