COTTON GOSSIP

Sterling s. Beardsley says he believes
the commercial crop, will be 1880, 900
bales or thereabouts.
Talladega. Ala. wires: Country gins
running one day per week and our town
gins ginning five and six bales a day
against forty to fifty bales a day two
weeks ago"
"a majority of the trade seems to
think that rains which fell during Sep
TENDER were harmful, especially in Tex
as and Oklahoma" remarked Charles
Crutchfeld but similar ideas prevailed
in 1900 when conditions were practically
the same and the yield turned out to be
the largest Texas ever raised up to that
time"
1t is reported that the estimate of
McFadden on this years crop is 49,
100000 bales.
Harry L, Goss, of Heineken & Vogel-
sang, has applied for membership in the
New York Cotton Exchange.
c. II. Crismann & Co, Of Memphis
estimates the crop at IA ,585 900 bales as
follows: Alabama, 1850, 900; Arkansas,
900 600; Florida, 5000; Georgia, 2,550-
600; oo louisiana; 49, oGG Missiiss 5 Idd
North Carolina, 1.O50,0OO Texas 400,
900; Tennessee AGO, 600; oklahoma, $50,
600; other States, $4,000.
Hause & Thompson, of Greensboro. N
c., estimate the crop at 1890 900 bales,
ing linters. They do not append
the usual estimates by States for the
reason that the figures are made up with
reference to divisions of the belt ar
ranged in accordance with varying
weather conditions, which, of course, do
not coincide remotely with the state
lines.
Floyd Willis, of Jackson, Miss. figures
it differently from the rest of the guess
ers. One hundred and seventy pounds
per acre on say 36.422, 900 acres would
give l2,3S4.000 bales of 500 pounds net,
with an addition of $4,000 bales, linters
and repacks, giving crop OF less than
| 100000 bales.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 14-Hayward
| & Clark: The weather map shows
cloudy in Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas
| and oklahoma; generally fair over the
| rest of the belt; no precipitation. Indi-
| cations are for rapid rise In tempera-
lures to summer level In Texas.
The New Orleans TimeSD Democrat
says: Some shrinkage in the esti-
| mate of the crop of the eastern States,
many reports Of gins running on short
time and some reports of gins having
closed down for the season together
with some direct evidence showing that
| serviceable cotton has not fully met the
decline in the futures market, sustained
bullish sentiment yesterday, but the
market was inclined to be dull, and the
talent was in no humor to start any
thing big.
THE ultimate weakness of the bear
position lies in the fact that almost
everybody Is convinced that the net
reserves as of August 81, 1913, will be
smaller than were the net reserves as
of August 81. 1912. The immediate
strength of the bear position lies 10 the
fact that the true issue Of the market is
obvious, and everybody is wise to It.
A bullsh Census Bureau report on Oc-
tober consumption is looked for to-day.
Because of good weather and high prices
ginning returns to November ID are eX-
pected to prove large. Because of the
| low average spinning quality OF the
| crop, because Of lighter bales than last
| year and because Of early general kill
! Ing froSts, consumers are expected to
| become more active competitors for the
purchase Of the actual in the not dis
| tant future"
