 The cotton clcp ginned up to the lst of Nov. 1907, is 6,l676OO bales which is much less than at this date last year and the declining in the price of cotton recently is caused from the money panic. The world needs all of the cotton and the price should advance as soon as the money gets easy The decline in the price of cotton and wheat was caused more
 
 by the lack of money and credits than by the law of supply and demand. The financial situation is improving. Wheat and cotton is being sold to Europe and gold is coming in. The national banks are taking additional circulation and business failures are much fewer than ever expected. The lack of currency is the principal han dicap to a return to normal conditions but the supply is increasing and there is a more cheerful feeling in all sect ions.
