belt.

tracts caused weakness and maintains

dency toward optimism,-Clark to Cot
ter & Turner,
Galveston exports today $3.50 bales
of cotton.
New Orleans-Venus, Tex, wires:
The acreage will be reduced a good
per cent in this locality. Better sea-
sons than for the past several years
have induced the farmers to plant more
feed crops at the expense of cotton.
Although eliminating the possibilities of
damage by insect and late planting the
soil should produce more cotton per acre
than for the past few years, AS to
labor conditions, much depends on the
spring rains and the extra demand that
may be created by such over the past
few years as you know these conditions
are yet to come. shepard & Gluck.

worse than due. The depressed condi-
ton of Manchester Is apparent to the
masters and operatives who are to hold
a meeting today looking to IN agree
ment on further concerted short time.

progress on which so many hopes had
been based. Weather south clearing,
getting warmer, which will enable
planters to push experimentation to
