of the total crop, including linters On
a conservative calculation, however, il
looks like an underestimate by at least
1000 bales. IL made the total crop

already nearly $4,000 bales more cotton

The Outlook.
With prices now back to the IL t-2

the extreme low levels reached last

crops the greateSt'on record in success
