THE CROP REPORT
Says Acreage About Same As Last
Year-Conditions Above 20

Washington. June 4.-The crop reporting
board of the bureau of statistics of the
department of agriculture, after consid-
Grafton of replies to supplementary in
puiries, and the report of the bureau OF
the census on cotton production in 1907.
finds that tie estimate made on June 4.
1906, Of the acreage planted to cotton in
1906 was too low; and. in order to bring
the figures as near as possible to the act
ual facts, the board has made certain re-
visions in the report of June a. 1906. which
show that the area planted in 1906 was
about 5--.0i9 600 acres
Tie crop reporting board finds the total
area planted and to be planted TO cotton
in the United States this year Q90O to be
about the same as the area planted last
year: that is, 32,O9GOo9 acres planted or to
be planted this year G9O0, as compared
with 33,049 200 acres which was found TO
have been planted last year.
The average condition of growing crop
on May % was 70.5 as compared with SAG
per cent. and 77.2 per cent. at the CORE.
sponding date in 1906 and 1905 respectively
and n 1O-year average of 1915 per cent.

Tumb|es S1.25 Per Bale
on New York Exchange.
Following Announcement Of
Government Crop Report.
Conditions Better Than Expected.
Sales, About 100000 Ba.es.

New York, June A drop of $1.25
a bale in the price OF cotton as quoted
on the New York Cotton Exchange
followed the announcement Of the gov
eminent crop report showing the esti-
mated condition Of the crop to be bet
ter than 10 per cent. Weakness of
the market before the publication of
the governments report had already
forced the price down about 81 bale,
so that at the low point quotations
represented a decline of more than 81
a bale from closing prices of last night.
Members of the Exchange were
awaiting the announcement of the
governments figures apparently with
heavy orders to sell if the condition
was better than 20 per cent, various
private reports showing the condition
to be much lower, having been circu-
lated for a few days. The utterance
of figures 30" from the rostrum over
the pit was the signal for a roar OF
selling. July opened at 11.64, went to
1874; October opening at 1913, went
to 11.75 and January which opened at
1908 to lilo.
After the first rush Of selling and
when operators had time to consider
the acreage which showed little
change from last year, buying was re-
sumed and grew in strength as bust
ness progressed until prices were car
red to within 10 to II points of last
nights closing figures. This was fol-
lowed by a renewal of weakness and
closing prices showed a net loss of IA
to 20 from last night.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
