COTTON

The government report issued last
Friday gave the condition. of the
crop up to August 25th as 81 per
cent. which indicated a production of
1O,575,OOO bales of cotton, based on
an estimated yield of 1852 pounds
of lint cotton to the acre. These
figures however, as given by the
government are subject to such
changes as the weather might bring
during the balance of the growing
and picking season.
Since the publication of the report
many of our correspondents through
out different sections of the belt
have written up, claiming that an
average yield of lint Of 1852 pounds
to the acre is altogether too high
considering that last years final yield
was only 124.5 pounds to the acre.
Since the 25th of August growing
conditions have not shown improve
ment. Although there has not been
so much rain reported in the East
ern and Central sections Of the belt,
high temperatures and general dry
ness continue in the Western section
and further deterioration has been
noted and it is quite likely that un.
favorable weather conditions during
the past two weeks will reduce the
acreage yield per acre.
There has been home pressure on
the market from hedging sales but
that is to be expected at this time
!of year as naturally the mills can not
take the years crop within a period
of a few months, and such hedging
by cotton merchants is necessary to
the proper functioning of the cotton
industry. If it may be said that
hedge sales are a market weakness
at the present time, is it not correct
to say that later on they will be
,bullish factor when the spot cotton
is sold and the hedges bought in.
Last years crop carryover amount
ed to 100000 bales and during
this past summer cotton was not
easy to buy. Should this years crop
as estimated by the government Sept
TENDER 1st" not exceed 1~0,575,000
bales and coupled with a worlds
carry over of American Cotton of
something like 100000 bales, we
may only have a total supply to
cause apprehension regarding an I'll
innate cotton shortage as all present
indications point to another year
in which consumption will again be
larger than production.
General trade conditions are i'm
proving. Fall River sales of cloth
have recently shown a noteworthy in
crease, and reports from elsewhere
indicate a fair volume of business.
Should cotton prices break sharply
from present levels, we would favor
! urrhacino. tho naar months for q
turn of Spring months for a pull.
