COTTON REPORT
PUTS CONDITION
OCT. Is AT 5l.l
Figure Slightly Higher
Than Had Been Expect
ed By Trade.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-(By
Associated Press 1.-THE condition of
the cotton crop on October 25 was
51.1, according to the supplemental
report issued today by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The condition report was something
of disappointment to the trade,
condition of so per cent of normal
having been confidently expected. The
last previous report was 54.4.
As q result of the disappointment
at the report, there was little change
in the market today. Trading in
Americus was almost at standstill.
Elsewhere, while the market held
strong, there was not the radical in
crease in price as a result of rush
to buy that had been expected.
Because of there being no previous
estimate of this date, the government
bureau had not figures for compari-
son on which to base an estimate of
the total crop.
