TOBACCO AND COTTON PROMINENT
IN DOLLAR COLUMN

Against these enormous increases
the estimates show decreases in cotton
tobacco. Irish potatoes and some Of
the fruits, notably apples. As to cot
ton, while there is certainly a decrease
in the number of bales being giuned
there viii he an actual increase in the
money returns, because of the advanced
prices being paid for the staple. The
same may be- said OF tobacco. and
moreover, ii is doubtful. if the final
reports VIII show any decrease in the
number OF pounds produced in Virginia
and the carolinaS. II is In Kentucky
ana other White hurley growing
states where the marked decrease in
tobacco is noted. II is doubtful also
If FirSinia's apple crop will in the final
analysis snow amy decrease. This
state had hundreds Of new orchards
which came into profitable bearing for
the frSt time this year. and this has
doubtless caused the production To lie

volume. in value and in effect upon
trade and business in general
The total grain crops, according 10
the latest estimates. subject to slight
changes In the hnal reports. give an
aggregate yield for 1915 of 500 221 900
bushels. as compared with 4.95o.227 900
bushels for 1914 an increase of nearly
one billion bushels.
There is also a gain OF 10000, 900
