COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The govern ment makes the condition of the crop as of August 16, 64.9, and the indicated yield 12,9e6, ,O00 bales. The figures are in line with recent private estimates, but we are of the opinion that they will be regarded by the trade generally as bearish, in that they confirm the larger crop views which have recently been expected.
 The trade is likely to base its calcu- Iations, at least for the present, on a crop of 100000 bales. Compared to last year eand to the last four years, this is apparently large crop, and 1t remains to be seen what will be the temporary effect of the impact of such a crop upon the market as it first be- gins to move.
 The general feeling is that 1t will make for lower prices, and this is a natural conclusion in view of what may be called "the short crop habit" We beg to point out, however, that there is an immense shortage throughout the world in all kinds of cotton goods. This shortage exists in this country to a lesser degree than 1t does elsewhere.
 The so-called barbaric nations have not bought their cotton goods require ments in 10 years. There Is 9 general feeling that business conditions through out the world are improving, and that we may anticipate a more normal move ment of goods. Therefore, while we sympathize with the feeling that the indicated crop is a large one and may have an effect upon prices, we find our selves much impressed with the prob ability of an expansion in consumption by no means contemplated by the trade at large We would bear this thought in mind through any immediate market movements.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The govern ment condition figure and crop esti- mate were published at noon today, after the close of our market. They were 64.9 and F, ,956, GOO bales, respective ly. We are of the opinion that both are too low. Our ideas, based on study of conditions throughout the belt, favor a large crop and lower prices. Unless unusually bad weather should prevail during the picking season, we believe the total crop will be nearer fourteen than thirteen million bales. We favor sales on all strong periods.
 Liverpool will be watched with great interest Monday. American and con- tinental orders will be undoubtedly sent there for execution before our opening Charles Fairchild & Co.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 23.-Cotton lost S1. to fl points in tOday's short ses- sion, largely on liquidation of long ac- counts induced by additional large crop estimates. One of these predicted a crop nearly a million bales larger than the governments estimate. The report, which came after the market closed, was under general expectation as to both condition and yield, but was so near the 13,000 000-bale mark that 1t was generally interpreted as bearish and contracts were offered 50 to 60 points lower than finals after its is- suance.
 We believe the governments formula for finding the indicated yield Is more responsible for this large increase than i field conditions. Recent reports from most of the large producing states in- dicate further deterioration since the date of the governments report, and picking returns show the yield Is not coming up to expectations. The tropical disturbance off the Florida coast prom 1Bes to become a serious menace to the eastern belt over Sunday or by Mon i day. Sentiment, while bearish at the moment. may undergo a quick change with the opening next week if the weather outlook is an unfaVorable as it promises to be. The market also ap- pears to be in an oversold condition Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
 NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 23-Returns to the government as of August 16 put the condition of cotton at 64.9 vs. CHA for August 1 of this year and 54.1 as of August 25 of last. The average in- dicated yield per acre Is 1885 pounds, foreeasting a crop of 12,956,O0o bales, exclusive of linters. Including linters, indicated crop is about 13,7SS,O0o bales, whereas the worlds consumption of American cotton last season was only Il 1,241, ,000 bales, including linters.-

THE NATIONAL HOG
AND CATTLE SHOW
HELPING SOUTH TO CUT OUT
THE COST OF REFRIGERAT-
ED FREIGHT TRAINS.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Again this year
further improvement will be marked
in the greatest single feature of the
Southeastern Fair, October 4 to II,
the National Hog and Cattle Show,
which, in itself, will be enough to
draw many thousands of visitors to
Atlanta during fair week.
The capacity Of the barns and pens
will be taxed and additional space
may be necessary for new herds ex-
pected. However, no matter how
many animals are entered, standard
Accommodated j.. Al be provided fn
them, said President Oscar Mills, OF
the fair association. 1--WE believe that
our live stock exhibit is a barometer
of conditions throughout the south,
and, aside from the large number of
entries already received, so favorable
are the reports Of southern prosperity
that we are assured of the greatest
show yet held"
Georgia Cattle Exhibited in the
Northwest.
That progress is being made and ex-
cellence attained by breeders of this
section may be attested by the fact
that herd Of Jerseys from Georgia
was exhibited as far in the northwest
as Grand Forks, North Dakota, this
summer. Herefords, Shorthorns, Jer-
seys, Aberdeen-Angus, Guernseys,
Holstein- Frieslans and Ayrshires will
all feature in the cattle barns, and the
competition will be keen for the prize
money offered in each class.
What is true of cattle is equally
so of hogs, big premiums being placed
on the leading classes or swine, nota-
bly,: Duroc- Jerseys, Hampshires, Pc
land Chinas, Spotted Poland Chinas
and Berkshires. The finest individuals,
herds, groups, champions and grand
champions produced in this country
will be found in the pens OF the big
show
Zone Of the purposes OF the South
eastern Fair" stated Secretary K. M.
Striplin, is to help the people OF this
section get away from paying the
high cost of refrigerated freight trains
from the west and through the cattle
exhibits at the National Hog and Cat
tie Show we are confident that we
are in some measure succeeding.
