The Commercial-Appea estimates
the quantity of the cotton crop for
1915 at l1,325,000 bales. These fig
ures are based on figures submitted
by correspondents throughout the
belt. According to these correspond
ents picking and ginning is unusual
ly well advanced, owing to good
weather, small crop and plenty of
labor to handle it. Little top crop
was made except in Texas, North
Carolina and Oklahoma, the boil
weevil having wrought great damage
to late growth in wide areas, extend
ing beyond the limits of former
years Probably seventy-five per
cent. of the farmers seem disposed
to hold for higher levels, although
there was a much smaller percentage
holding previous to the recent de-
cline. Whether selling would again
become free from another advance
to previous high levels, is of course,
conjeetual.
