COTTON SUFFERS HOTPOINT LOSS
 PAST SIX DAYS
Crop Report Gives First Downward Impetus
 To Prices

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 14.-The main feature of last week in the cot ton market was the government report giving the condition and indicated crop based on the reports made up Septem- Der l. A condition averaged of 59.3 per cent of normal and an indicated yield of 12,7S7 900 bales were not very different from general expectations, but the indicated yield at least confirmed the growing belief in an abundant supply of cotton for the present sea- son and started volume of selling which caused a decline of two cents a pound or 200 points for the week.
 While the government report gave the first downward impetus to prices. the decline was kept up by a lower spot basis in southern markets, a fall ing off in the demand for the actual and an increased movement of the crop to market. Finally the rather gen eral and heavy rains in Texas on Fri day gave the final impetus to the decline on the idea that while the rains might lower the grade of the cotton .HCy Wouiu pIOuuOly luCredSe tuc ylelu by reinvigorating the plants and en- abling much late cotton to mature.
 As result of this combination of bearish developments the market made four successive low levels for the season. and although there was some show of rallying on Saturday it was not much tained and the week closed not much above the low point reached during the period. The Saturday rally was based on the continuation of the Texas rains which aroused fears that now that the long drouth has been broken there may be too much rain which would interfere with the rapid har- vesting and marketing of the crop.
 One of the bearish developments of the last part of the week was the issue of the government parts to be used in connection with the next forecast of the crop based on the con- dition averages to be found on Sep tember 16. The "pars" have again been raised in comparison with those used for the forecast of September l. thus making it possible for the maintenance of the last crop intlica- tion even though the, condition aver age should be appreciably lowered.

months were considered resuonsible for the weakness. While the immediate effects of such reaction were unset tling, 1t was pointed out that the turn of events was bringing the textile in dustry to what it really needs, that is, plentiful supply of raw material at req sonable prices.
 Crop reports also played a part in the grain markets, although a marking up by the government of the expected yield of wheat did not undermine the market. Indeed, before the week was over wheat had rallied vigorously on foreign buy ing, stimulated by reports showing smaller crops in other parts of the world. The estimated yield of corn was reduced to 2,513,OOO,OOO bushels, as compared with last years outturn of 3,O76,OO0, 900 bushels. Corn prices were however, comparatively little changed.
 The previous weeks reaction in the foreign exchanges, in which the buying of dollars to cover European purchases of American grain and cotton was a factor, terminated. The renewal of the

 All this is the result of severe depression through which the indus try has been passing in recent months. Mills have been shut down or activity has been greatly curtailed. Buying of textile products has been sluggish and, as the above chart shows, prices have been weak, particularly the prices of cotton cloth.

price; raw wool prices are strengthen ing.
 According to the present outlook, one Of three things must happen; textile rlants must do a large volume of busi- ness in order to overcome the present handicap of weak prices and high costs, they must reduce costs if present prices and only fair demand are to prevail {; or they must, provided demand for their goods is only average and costs are not cut, increase the price of their products.
 There is, perhaps, another side to the gloomy story which gives a bright CT tinge. First, such news as that men tioned above concerning three large or ganizations is the result of past con- ditions. Secondly, while mills have cur tailed their output, demand has not shrunk so severely. Supplies of manu- factured goods, thereof, are now at q low point. Increased demand would quickly be felt in mill activity.
