COTTON CROP IMPROVING.
But the Plants Are Small, the Crop
Is Late and VIII Be Short.

Reports from the cotton crop in
dictate that it's condition is healthy
and that it has shown some improve
ment in the past few days, but the
plants are still small, the crop is late
and going to be very short.
4 It is said that the acreage in this
immediate section is fifteen or TWEEN
tv per cent less than it was last year.
The floods of the Mississippi river
and bad conditions in Egypt are eX-
pected to have a telling effect on the
coming crop, and cotton men believe
that prices next fall are going to be
higher than they have been during
the past two or three years.
