Congress will not bc greatly occupied
with any matters during December so
that not until after the FIRST of the year
will there be any indication OF what it's
purpose Is in the session when pre-
ccdos tho presidential nomination ana
election.
The Immediate subject on which the
attention Of the business world will bc
now concentrated is the crops This is
especially true Of the cotton crop. FOR it
is about the only one regarding which
any Important difference in the csti-
mate is nov made. It is observed that
some Of tho exrerte disagree in all sin
certify with the governments report a
few weeks ago. hasing that disparity
upon alleged climatic mIefortunps
They think that the excessive drv and
hot weather will cause n reduction of
at least ! 600 600 bales from tho eSti-
mate made b the government carly in
AUGUST
Even allowing for this great falling
off. IT must he assumed that the cot
ton cron will be in excess of 1S 600 00o
bales. While this is not = record. IT is
sim above the average and. as II seems
certain tina, tho worlds demand for
cotton will be very great unless indus

although the corn crop Is to fall couSld
