Der would be saved for slab duty for
the champions for good part of the

quota is said to have been filed. The
famous hurIer may not be called for
several months. Jourdan. who is sin

 sued today forecast the prospective production this year at 1L137001 equivalent 800 pound bales, l,09S09J bales less than was forecast at tho beginning of the season.
 Cotton growers planted this year the second largest acreage on record and prospects seemed bright for one of the largest crops ever grown. Drouth dur ling July. however, reduced the crop lby 1.6l6,00O bales and dry weather in August caused the greatest deteri0ra l tion ever recorded in a single month there being a decline of 17.9 points in the condition August 25 as compared with July 9.
