Probably 2,000 bales additional will be brought In before Christmas. The rapid market ing of the crop Is due to the long drought and early frost. This latter cause cut off all pros pcet of a top crop. But for the cold snap which came so early this year, that It killed all the unopened cotton, there would still be a good deal more cotton to bring in, as In some parts of the country there was a good deal which was late, hav ing been re-planted after the drougth had Injured it last spring. All this unmatured cotton was kill ed in the boll and all of the# matured cotton not picked was badly injure! Practically the whole crop in this county has been marketed, the farm ers showing little dlspositon to hold It back, as prices have kept up so well, and the Farmers Union and other warehouses here have very little stored in them.
