New Orleans, Oct. 3.-Taking the
cotton belt as a whole, there has been
no marked change, and the change, If
any, has been toward deterioration.
according to The Times-Democrat' s
cotton crop bulletin for the month of
September.
Continuing, the bulletin says:
1.-The storm Of September 20 die
great damage in the districts which
came within it's sweep.
Picking has made rapid progr. ss
and there Is generally an absence OF
labor for this purpose.
Farmers seem disposed to sell at
current prices. at least enough to pay
their debts. but a considerable part of
the crop Is likely to be held for an
advance later on.

oc in certain sections, but the intense
heat minimized the loss from this
pest.

ton on this matter. Mr.. Pinchot said.
