Some reports estimate the amount

100000 to 100000 bales with al of it

completely abandoned the market. and
some reports credit some of the local
large market interests as now having
gone over TO the bear side. Thus the
whole complexion of the market from
their point of view, as well ms the
complete change from the conditions
which existed just two months ago to-
day.
Then the consensus OF trade opinion
WAS that the crop would not exceed
much over i4.000.o0o bales. including
requirements of the worlds spinners
would call for a total of about H..
100000 bales. Some of the more en-
thusiastic bulls were then expressing
the opinion the consumption for this
year would be as large as last years
total. which was .approXimately H..
100000 bales. IN fact. Neill Bros, of
London, who estimate the crop for the
English trade. and who also do q good
deal of figuring on the consumption.
issued a crop estimate the first week
in November for only 13.S50,000 bales,
including linters. and n statement that
the worlds consumption would be
about 14,75o.0oo bales. !.
Now, simply because. the last census
report made the ginning OF the crop
12,s2S.606 bales to December, 1s. In
what may yet turn out to be the
earliest and closest picked crop prac-
tically on record, against 12,439,036
ginned to December IS last year (when
the total commercial crop, Including
linters. turned out 14,091.0O0 bales on
the Census Bureaus figures). the gen
eral supposition is the crop will be a
great deal larger. II is believed that
the governments crop estimate of De-
cember IL of 1S,677,Q0 bales. without
linters, or 14,217, 900. with 100000 bales
added for linters, is serious under
