The governr ents report on the cot
ton crop, August 18th. was less favor
able than the market anticipated
There has been some improvement
during July in certain localities and
in other localities the crop is almost
a failure for the lack OF moisture.
The effect was felt at once on the
market. There was sharp advance
in prices, indicating that the world
isready 10 take at profitable prices

boil weevil now and will have more In
the near future.
