ket Drops, Receivers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Department of Agriculture re-
ported today this years cotton crop
is 18.243,ooo bales of 500 pounds each,
the largest crop in history.
After the release of the figures prices
dipped about rs cents a bale on the
New York Cotton Exchange, then
turned and recovered most of the loss.
The rally was credited to trade buy
ing. The recovery. after December
had fallen to 7.53 cents a pound and
March to 7.65, was thought inspired
in part by the influence of the Gov
eminent loan program, which offers
growers advance of 9 cents a pound

lesser amounts on lower grades.
The forecast, however, added to diff
hculties Of Government leaders at
tempting to shape q new farm pro-
gram for the special session of Con-
gress.
Forecast Totals Increased.
Government estimators said the
record production was indicated by
November l conditions. They in
creased their forecast totals on the
1887 crop for the fourth consecutive
month.
The new estimate was $4,000 bales
above the indicated production q
month ago. 2,650,000 bales larger than
the first 1887 estimate in August and
5,844,000 bales above last seasons
production.
If realized, the 1887 crop would be
265, 900 bales more than the previous
largest crop of 17,978,000 bales in
1926. The only other time cotton
production exceeded 100000 bales
was in 1880.
Farm Administration officials who
joined reporters in a locked room
where the Government Crop Board
announces its estimates were silent
about the new forecast.
After the cotton estimate was re-
vised upward about 1,5O0, 900 bales last
month, Secretary Wallace reduced by
100000 acres the cotton goal under
next years soil conservation benefit
program.
Acre Yield Up.
The Crop Board also increased its
estimate on the average yield to 258.8
pounds an acre for the entire cotton
belt. This topped all previous yields.

NEW j. s. SEEN
FOR LABOR PEACE
Roosevelt Talk With Nc
Grady Points to Further
Federal Moves.
By JOHN c. HENRY.

New administration intercession in
behalf of unity in labor's ranks was
seen as a possibility today as Presi-
dent Roosevelt conferred for more
than an hour with Edward F. Nc
Grady, former Assistant Secretary of
Labor.
As the White House meeting was
in progress, John l.. Lewis, Committee
for Industrial Organization chairman,
met in lengthy conference with the
Negotiating Committee of his group
prior to its return to the Willard Hotel
for today's session with the conferees
of the American Federation OF Labor.
Emerging from his conference with
the President. MFR. McGrady admitted
discussing the general labor situation,
but declined to say he was in Wash
ington for the specific purpose of aid
ing current peace efforts. The former
Labor Department official, who was
known principally as successful
mediator during his term in that de-
partment, said he probably would make
social calls" on leaders of the two
fighting factions.
Although no announcement of the
nature of their deliberations with Mr..
Lewis was made by members of the
c. l. o. Negotiating Committee, it was
understood they were weighing the
concessions already offered by the A.
F. of l. In this respect, the Federation
has indicated it might turn over GER
tain major industries exclusively to
the c. I. o. group.
The latter thus far has not receded
from its insistence that it remain a
completely autonomous faction, with
exclusive organizing rights in virtually
all of the Nations great industries,
such organization to proceed entirely
on a vertical union basis.
