The 1907 Cotton Crop.

The report CT the secretary of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange. Us pub
li.hed in the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal shows that the total amount of cot
ton marketed since September l. this
years, has been 1871 900 bales. gainst
9, 900 last year. and ISIS. 900 the year
before. This shows much less
deficit in the present crop than seemed
to be indicated by the disparity Of the
receipts during September of this year,
as compared with 1906. This dis
crepancy has doubtless been due to the
fact that while the Crop matured
earlier last year than this. the relative
receipts this year have increased lat
terly from the fact that they were
checked last year by an early frost,
favorable for the later growth of the
plant from the milder weather. The
Indications now are that while there
will he good demand. with fair prices.
for all the cotton grown this year,
there will be no serious deficit. as was
at orc time apprehended. from the
lateness Of the season and the falling
off in the output Of Texas of nearly q
million bales. Us the result OF drouth

The same report shows that of the

the year before; Southern spinners.

bales taken this year over the Quantity

South is steadily progressing toward
the point where the mills will all be in
close proximity to the cotton fields.
