and yet that years crop tile amonnt
OF 1894, 3Sl bales over one half of that
ounner crop was in sight on Dscem.
Ger |, and that being fact, then It
seanos 10 reason that over one half OF
6he crop was In sight by December l
TINS year. So J. have figured from
tnat standpoint, and cannot figure
over eleven and a quarter million
oaies. For the sake OF argument let's
cake the crop OF last year, and take
the amount In SIGHT up to December
y, which was S. 7D5,45 bales. There
was at that tim 70 So per cent of fine
crop In, A Fer cent remaining. the
crop being 1O,2I6 900, left only 451O..

amount. We will now take present
crop and follow the same ratio. On

per cent would indicate a crop of
eleven and three quarter million
oales, but take off 10000 bales. as
tbat much came in per week. and the
crop was seven days anyway, earlier

Admitting that Secretary Wilson is In

hands OF farmers able to hold, until
the next crop and would not enter
into the crop OF 1904 and 1905; 80 IT
would be the same as If the cotton
