Stevens Resigns Post as
New York Life Trustee
Viii Continue i'm Honorary
Capacity; Was Elected to
Board i'm 1872

Another veteran passed from Wall
Street yesterday when Frederick w.
Stevens resigned as an active trustee
of the New York Life Insurance and
Trust Company at the regular monthly
meeting of the board. The annals of
the financial district record the names
of few men who for fifty years have
met the strains and stresses associ-
ated with the work it carries on. That
was his period of service.
1t was at the August meeting of the
board in 1872 that Mr. Stevens was
elected a member. The men who chose
him to serve with them-John Jacob
Astor, William H. Aspinwall, James
COLES. William Earl Dodge jr., Mere
dlth Rowland, John T. Johnston, John
l. Jones, Robert l.. Kennedy, James P.
Rernochan, Thomas w. Ludlow, Henry
Paris, Robert Ray, Joseph Sampson,
William c. Schermerhorn, George T.
Strong. Moses Taylor and John D.
Wolfe-have all since died, their
names and the work they did being
woven into the tradition of the dis
trict as the younger generation knows
it.
The board, in its resolutions of ap-
probation for Mr.. Stevens's half CEN
tury of service, called attention to the
value Of his counsel and judgment
during the panics of 1873, 1884, 1898
and 1907, and, finally, during the con-
ditions produced by the World War.
"ln accepting his resignation from
active duties" the board said, at is
our earnest hope that as honorary
trustee he will for many years to come
attend our meetings and give us the
benefit of his counsel"

u. $. Cotton Condition Report
Of 7O.8% Surprises Traders
Yield Estimated at III ,449 900 Bales; Government
Figures Lower Than Amy Compiled by Private
Agencies; Visible Supply Near Danger Point

shouid also be remembered that weevil
damage last year amounted to 81 per
cent, while as recently as 1918 it was
only 5.S3 per cent.
AS liberal use Of fertilizers is an
acknowledged means of decreasing boil
weevil damage as we'll as of promoting
increased yield, it is interesting to note
that In the twelve cotton states the
sales of fertilizer up to the end of
June were 10 per cent above the sales
for the whole of 1921, but were only 80
pei, cent of the average sales Of the
eight years 1914-'21. The abandoned
acreage also far exceeds what the re-
puted experts had led us to believe
would be the figure. The county agents
estimate CT IL per cent abandoned was
no less surprise than the condition
percentage
Yield Is Overemphasized
The market may be said to pay too
much heed to the possible or probable
seasonal yield, and in these days of
intensive pest destruction this be-
comes more and more any ones guess.
particularly as early as the end of
July The Exchange traders in the
crop almost altogether omit to specu-
late on the demand which may be rea-
sonably anticipated. Yet this feature
to be neglected.
The worlds visible supply of Amer
lean cotton in the middle of July was
but 100000 bales, which was some
100000 bales less than the number on
nand at the same time last year. This
drop in reserves to the near-danger
point has been caused by lessened
production rather than by any marked
increase in consumption, as will be
seen from the average estimated world
production, which was 2O,23O,OOO bales
during the period 19o9-'19. For the
two years 1919-1921 the average was
20,432,000, but in the season ia21-'22
the world production fell to the almost
unprecedented low figure Of 1880 900
bales.
Consumption is far behind the pre-
war volume, and it is becoming nora
and more evident that the price at
which the finished fabric is available t.,
the ultimate consumer will, in the fu-
ture, be the predominant factor in de-
Gliding how much cotton the world will
use from year to year. But, unless
some means is found to overcome the
fast-growing menace to the American
crop, civilization will have to continue
to economic in its use of the cotton
fiber or grow it in early abundance
elsewhere.

New-York tribune., 1922-08-02
By William Whittam

1t is no wonder the bears rushed
tion report of 70.s as of July 25 was
published. This figure came as sur
prise, inasmuch as private reports
agreed with the general news from the
cotton belt that the crop was show
ing a distinct improvement from the
condition reported month ago, which
was TIP, as against CAT a year ago,
and ten-year average of 1870.
The average Of sixteen private re
ports was 75.1, the highest Of which
was 1853 and the lowest ITO, so that
the official report does not quite reach
the lowest Of those collected by pri-
vate agencies.
The estimated crop for the current
season is given as II 1,449,000 bales, COM
pared with final count of 1858 ,G41
bales for last season. and an indicate d
yield of 1872 pounds an acre, COM
pared with an actual yield of only
124.b pounds last season. This pros
pective increase of approximately
100000 bales would at first blush ap-
pear sufficiently encouraging to pre-
vent sudden unturn in prices, but, as
a matter of facl, when the reserve
from field to factory is taken into ac-
count, it is by no means reassuring.
The market Immediately took that
view, as shown by the advance of 50
bale, coming within 80 points of the
record high of % cents, made on
July 5.
The boil weevil has rendered COM
parsons beyond the last few years
valueless for all practical purposes.
q roc act of
July 25, was 7o.3 in 1917-191S and the
final yield an acre that season was
100 pounds. In the last eleven years
the government has underestimate
the crop nine times and overestimated
the finally counted yield but twice.
August the Crucial Month
August is conceded to be the most
crucial month, so that it is unwse to
anticipate all that this months report
indicates. There are yet three, and
possibly four, generations of boil vice.
wills in the future, and if all reports as
to the prevalence and severity of the
infestation are averaged the future is
anything but bright.
The loss per acre from climatic
causes between 1909 and 1918 averaged
71.6 pounds and from insect pests 29.3
sons 1919 and 1920 the position was re-
versed, when the loss from pests aver
aged sixty-fve pounds an acre, where
as that from climatic causes was fifty
two pounds.
The Department of Agriculture de-
clared, on July IL, that, according to
records of the emergence of the in
| sect, from nearly all of the cotton
states, in many districts where accu-
rate counts have been made, there were
then nearly as many weevils in the
fields as are ordinarily observable a
month later when the first summer
| bred brood has started to appear. It

Cotton Shoots Up
About $50 a Bale
On Crop Report
Publication of Government
Condition Figures of
7O.8 Per Cent Brings
Heavy Wave of Buying

From the dull rut in which it has
moved for a week or more past, the
cotton market suddenly emerged into
q period of great activity yesterday,
aroused by the government crop re-
port, which proved to be sensationally
bullish. In n wave of buying orders
that included purchases by the trade,
Wall Street, uptown interests and
commission houses generally prices
shot UP from 174 to 1874 points, or
about SO a bale.
The trade had been fully prepared for q
condition figure Of between 73sand "a. com
pairing with ton year average of 49, and
were naturally much astonished at the
condltion rondIt . OF u.s. which the sover"'nent
more surprising inasmuch many of
the traders had based their opinions
OF prospective Improvement on tho week.
ly weather and crop reports OF the gov
or:iment, which had un 1oubtedly indicated
Improvement during the month. To COM
plete the hullishness OF the report an)acre-
age abandonment OF II per cent was shown
which was very mucn greater than the
average abandonment.
The crop indication as figured in the
crop report 11.44o. 900 bales Mono
of tho private crop condition figures were
rs low as those Of the government, and this
fact doubtless added much to the strengt tn
VI tHe HldThet Inc opinion created by the
report was that damage from heat in the
Southwest and by boil weeviI In the East
had been greater than the trade had
figured on The fact that no relief has
come In Texas and Oklahoma since the
report was compiled led many to buy
cotton on the idea that present conditions
must therefore be even worse than the
crop report indicated up to July 25
Yesterdays reports from the Southwest
were especially unfnvorable. In Oklahoma
all stations reported temperatures in ex-
cess of 100. while in Texas and Oklahoma
together fully forty-t vo stations reported
maximum temperatures from 100 to 1o9.

dispatches as being very active.
