DR.. J. w. Chambliss, city ply

was made in connection with the

when Officer j. C. Arlington put
in the entire week carrying on the

sary if the city is to be rid of mos

NEW YORK, Sept. 8--Cotton fu-

York contract market here this
morning, October selling up to
27.90. This registered an advance of
more than S13 bale from the low

report of SAL proved to be a key
of TINT to the bears. While the
government reported an acreage of
over 38,0O0,000 acres-the largest
in all history-the yi1ld per acre
has now been cut from 1889 to
134.8 pounds. The condition of 54.1
is the lowest of tecord with the sin
gle exception of 40. 3 per cent in
1921. The report proves conclusive
ly that American cotton is now in
a very strong technical position IL
deed. The indicated yield this season
of only 10,788,000 bales compared
with last years short crop of g.
and with the record break
ing crop of 1915, 900 bales in 1914.
Early in July this seasons crop was
estimated at 12,500,000. Right now
deterioration is going on fast, par
ticularly in the Eastern belt. The
boil weevil, army and leaf worm are
all doing their full part. The worlds
visible supply of American cotton
carried over on Aug. / from last
seasons crop was only 2,578,000
bales. Worlds spinners takings of
American cotton last year were 12,-
100000 bales. If they take as much
as 1900, 600 bales this year on a
less than eleven million bale crop,
there will be an indicated visible
supply left at the end of the pres
ent statistical year on July 81, 1914,
of only 1,578,000 bales.
