5,2l5 BALES OF
new CROP ARE
RECEIVED HERE

Despite the lateness of cotton here
this year, due to late planting and wet
weather during large part of the
growing season, more bales have been
received by the Americas warehouses
up to this date than to the same date
last year by nearly three hundred
bales. This was revealed by reports
from the local warehouses Saturday,
all of which, except one gave out
figures for the similar period year
ago, as well as this years figures.
Only one warehouse reported a
smaller number of bales received than
last year. Allowing figures for last
year of equal to this for the ware
house which did not report 1918 re-
ceipts, the total receipts for the city
showed: For this year, 5.215; for
last year same period, 1889 bales.
Saturday of the previous week was
the largest day of receipts of the sea-
son for Americas, and cotton men
generally say they do not expect it
to be equalled this year. Receipts for
the city yesterday were said to be
only about half of the previous Sat
urday. The warehouse which show
ed a decrease over the sare date lasC
We = had equalled last years figures
up until Friday, the slump coming in
the last two days.
81 still stick to the prediction that
the crop will be about 1880 bales"
said T. G. Hudson, who is weighing
for L. G. Councils warehouse. There
will be some more cotton to come,
but large part of it is already in,
and the receipts will grow lighter
from this time on"
There were 1851 bales of cotton,
counting round as half bales, ginned
in Sumter county from the crop of
1919, prior to September 1, 1919, as
compared with zoos bales ginned to
September 1, 1918, according to the
report to Washington by VIM. p.
