COTTON DROPS
$15 BALE; LOCAL
PRICES TO DROP

Due mostly to the government re-
port of increased production the cot
ton market has dropped 3 cents a
pound or a total of SIS bale since
Tuesday
Daily Bros, local cotton buyers, this
morning continued to offer 80 cents
although the New York market had
dropped to $3.50 cents. Howdver, at
ders.
Daily Brothers expressed the opin-
ion that local prices would take drop
in the near future to conform with the
eastern market.
The reports for August by the gov
ernment shows an increase of 214,-
900 bales in the prospective crop
this year. The early forecast was to-
tai of 11,23O,O0O bales.
The condition of the crop, 61.4 per
cent of a normal, showed decline of
81 points from July 25 to August 25
compared with an average decline dur
ing the past 10 years of ~ points.
This decline in August was undoubt-
edly due to the increased estimate of
the seasons crop.
Boil weevils, boil worms, army
worms, and red spiders combined,
with the almost continued rains over
considerable areas of the belt, with
dry, hot weather following the rains,
caused the deterioration Of the crop.
The final outturn will probably be
larger or smaller than this amount,
according as conditions are better or
worse. Last year the production was
12,0OO,00O bales; two years ago, H.
100000 bales.
Conditions of crop by states on Aug
ust 25 include: Texas, 81; California,
90; Arizona, 90.

MILO CROP
MARKETING FAST
RATH'S STATEMENT

The summer crop of milo maize is
moving, rapidly, according to A. C.
Rath of Rath & Marshall, local grain
dealers. Mr.. Rath declared this week
that present indications are for an
early cleanup. There appears very lit
tie disposition to warehouse on the
part of the Galley farmers and in TAX
ing advantage of present market con-
ditions rather than waiting upon un-
certainities in year of general large
productiveness, he thinks, this shows
good judgment.
The ruling price is around $40 a
ton and mile growers seem to be gen.
orally very we'll satisfied with the re-
turns as the crop has been of good
yield and quality. While there have
been brief periods when an average
price better than this has been OBJ
tanned it has been obtained only by
a few lucky ones. The $40 price is
very near the top even on speculative
sales.
"While it is easy to go wrong on
of total sales, l think it is
within the mark to say that about
two thirds of the summer crop has
probably passed out of the hands of
the growers and the valley farmers
are several thousand dollars richie,
in cash resources" Rath said.
