BIG GINNERS' REPORT
$500. .000 Bales Ginned According to Government Statement Issued
 Monday.

C. w. Petty received message from Washington Monday stat ing that the government report gives the number of bales of cot on ginued so far this year a, 6.300, 900.
 These figures are remarkably ' targe. Last years report at this time was nearly two million bales lower.
 Under ordinary conditions such , report would mean a drop in he market price of cent pound or more, according to Mir. Pe!ty's belief, but this week the mar ket stands firm at SH cents, at which mark it has stood steady for about three weeks. Mir. Pet " says the reason there has been 10 drop in tue market following such report is because the Re- publican party IS holding up the price and that he does not expect to see break in the price.
 Other cotton men who are not or the same political faith as Mir. Petty called attention to the fact that this has been a remarkably early season and the fact that the present ginners report is large simply means that large per cent of the crop has been giuned and not that this years crop is large enough to cause the price to fall.
