REIN ON COTTON
IS CARRYOVER

If the 1882 cotton crop does
not fall greatly below the present
estimate, it is questionable
whether the price will materially
extend its current recovery, be-
cause of the largest carryover
on record, according to the Alex
ander Hamilton Institute.
The Department of Agriculture
has estimated the 1882 crop at
100000 bales, or 5,790,000 bales
less than the 1881 harvest of IT,
O96,0O0 bales. Stocks on hand in
the United States at the begin
ming of August totaled approx
mately 9,5O0,O00 bales as com
pared with 100000 bales a year
ago.
On the basis of the August
crop forecast, the cotton supply
for the coming season will be the
third largest on record, amount
ing to 20,806,0O0 bales, as COM
pared with last years record of
23,465,000 bales and the pre-
vious high record of 21,520,000 in
1926.
Last season exports and domes,
tic consumption amounted to
about 13,500,000 bales. On the
basis of a similar distribution this
season. the carryover next sum-
mer would be approximately Z,
100000 bales, the second largest
on record.

about the 100000 or more per

Big Drop Last Month
The other day I called atten-
ton to the fact, hardly reported
in the press, that last month the
number of employees working in
New York State factories fell 5.3
per cent. The total amount paid
out to factory laborers fell More
than 7 per cent, showing shorter
hours or lower wage ratios, or
both.
Now there comes to my desk
the report from Pennsylvania, and
that, too, I suspect you will not
find mentioned in the morning
papers. for it shows just as bad
a condition as in New York.
In Pennsylvania July employ

Now how do you think the fac

impressed by the performance of
the stock market? Are they
buoyant in sentiment? AS they
eat into their scanty savings or
accept charity and hunt for the
ever-receding job, do they rejoice
in the rise Of Coca Cola and
Wrigley on the Exchange?
Nor can we dismiss the situa-
ton by saying that the rise in
stocks is surely anticipating rise
in employment. In 1921 factory
employment was plainly on the
upgrade throughout the entire
year. But the stock market saw
bottom only in August. 1t Jagged

provision, it is understood, made by
the company to release this land is
that the owner getting it for the
