 Galveston was honored with the dis tinction of having received the first new bale of cotton of the growth 6 ol ing arrived there today from Falfurras, starr county Texas, classed good mid ding, was of good color. and staple, and and sold for sfis at public auction for shipment to New York.
 According to advices there are three more new bales on their way to mar ts. having shipped two bales. and la redo. Webb county. Texas having ship ped one bale, one of the former being in transit to New Orleans. where the first of the seasons fruit will be sold at public auction for the benefit Of sweet charity.
 Aside of the coming to market of the first new bales. the. session was fea.. tureless, tho favorable weather and good crop accounts being offset by the limited supply of available desirable cotton, values being self sustaining and will probably rsn,ain remain oI SC Entil ls of.
  liberal or until receipts of new crop cotton assume large proportions. As has been the case for the past couple of months, speculation Is slumbering, g, operators awaiting further develop ments before taking decided stand.
 Eleven cents cotton is not looked upon as an investment. Nevertheless the trade realizes, as does the public, that a full crop will be required to meet the demand of the world next sea- son. and until more is known of the possibilities of thAs years growth. but little activity can be hoped for According to secretary Hester's state ment on amount of cotton marketed to July 1st, all but 72.000 bales of last years census crop of 1o.726,000 bales has been marketed already, insight June 30, amounting to le.654,000 bales against 12,75s,0e0 bales last year and 9,829, ,0a0 yeaf before last. The inter rior carried over about S0O,06o bales from season before last and as there Is a probability of the better part of this surplus being marketed prior to September ist as we'll as large amount of new crop cotton, the possi- hllity of the comm arcia1 crop of the old season being t1,000,000 bales is forag0ne conclusion
 The question at Issue, however. Is what will be the size of the growing crop, and upon this hinges the future

 The new crop months simply reflect ed the sudden strength shown by July.
 Spots were officially reported quiet and uncHanSed. Sales amounted to bales to arrive. Middiing cotton was again quoted at 11.1-s cents
 Two bales of new cotton were offi- eially reported today. one being re- the days port receipts. while the oth- CT was received at Brownsville. Texas, and was immediately expressed 10 this city.

 There was some reports today from Georgia and the Carolinas of deterior ation in the condition of the crop. due to excessive rains in that section. Bulls made use of these reports, having noth- ing else at hand to serve their purpose.

 It will be long after the Srd of December before anyone knows the actual yield this year. and meantime, in my opinion; it will GOO 900 bales The rainfall in Texas for the past six months has been the lightest since 1902. when Texas made the smallest crop in It's history Of the past four months the same statement Is true.
