The future market was quiet. The

have been operating heavily in that mar

AMERICAN COTTON CROP
SHORTESTSINCETHEWAR
New York. September 19.—The price of
cotton, whether dear or cheap, must be
considered relatively. During a time of
poor trade and large supply 6 cents has
proved “dear,” whilst in a. period of
good trade and short supply like, the pres
ent, 12 cents may be “cheap” for the
article. Sentiment will for a short time
have something to do with making prices,
but in the end. it Is the prices at which
spinners and manufacturers can sell th: ir
yarns and goods which determine the price
of cotton. At present the spinners’ diffi
cult!’ is that cotton has advanced more in
proportion than yarns or goods. If the
reverse were to now occur, spinners would
“tumble over one another' to buy tHo
stock remaining in the hands of the specu
lators and start every spindle.
Considering tin: world’s present require
ments, the supply of American cotton,
both visible and invisible, is today the
;-mallest since the civil war. This in spite
of n curtailment of consumption, which
has been going on for mouths, and which
for the pKst few weeks has been in many
places ot a drastic nature. The supply of
goods in first hands has become equally
attenuated, but owing to the new crop
being so near at hand, everybody having
need of raw or manufactured cotton is
postponing purchases to the last hour
possible. The new crop, however, is prob
ably the latest on record and the amount
of cotton coming into sight (luring this
month will be about half of last year.
The position of spinners, etc., is thus
enormously complicated and he will be a.
lucky man as well as a wise one who
steers his busim ss through tire coming
season to a profit.
It has been found that for a period of
twenty years prior to 1897 the average
annual increase In consumption of Ameri
can cotton amounted to just 3‘/ 2 per cent.
There were years when there was not
only no increase, but an actual decrease,
and again yeai* when the increase was
much greater, but the average xvas as
above. Since. 1897 the increase has been
ia tiler over 4 per cent. Based on only a
3Q per cent Incr-ase tor the last twenty
six years, the needs of the world this
coming season will amount to 11,724,000,
but if based on the larger takings since
1897, Hie woral will require a little over
12,000.000. The average price in Liver
pool for middling for the twenty years
prior to 1892 xvas s’/ s d. At what price
would 12.000.000 bales be consumed tins
year? In considering the answer to this
question, which every thinking man in
t lie trade will want to work out fur him
self, It will be well for him to weigh care
fully the present enormous production of
gold which is now about three times
What it was from 1880 to 1890; tho re
cent advance in silver, will* li is Impor
tant in view of tin growing trade of the
west with China; tliir.il>’, the higher plane
ot’ wages of the mass of working men and
women the world o-.'.i, and lastly, the
small stocks of cotton, yarn and goods
with which the new season starts.
What prospect is Hie'., this season for
an American crop at 12,000.000? On my

Comment on Bank Statement.
New York, September 19.—The New
York Financier says:
■'The most notable faature of the offi
cial statement of the New York asso
ciated banks last week was the close
aorrespon'cleni'e between the decrease of
c-ish amt the loss In this item as estimated
upon the basis of Hie traceable move
ments of money during the week, thft offi
cial statement showing a reduction of
$4 376.900, while tho estimates indicated
a loss of $4,523,600. This decrease in
(•ash was chiefly caused by absorption by
the subtreasury on account of tis l al and
other operations. The customs payments
w. re large, amounting to $3,471,835. and
the receipts bv the treasury through the
hanks for those of their correspondents,
which were retiring circulation, were
iour Neill.
By R. Lar:
tober from a trip through the cotton
states I made the following crop esti
mate by states. It was published in “Cot
ton" last November. Mr. Hester’s figures
of the actual outturn, just received, I ap
pend for comparison:
My estimate, Oc- Mr. Hester’s
tober 25. 1902. actual crop.
North Carolina. . . . 560 575
South Carolina . 935 950
Georgia 1,403 1,470
Florida 54 55
Alabama 1.020 1,050
Mississippi 1,390 1,404
Louisiana 775 884
Arkansas 976 1.000
Tenn, and Okla 532 509
Tex. and Ind. T. . . . 3,210 2.831
Total 10,855 10,728
It will bo observed that tho only Im
portant differences are In Texas, Indian
Territory. Louisiana and Georgia. As to
the two latter, it is evident my Impres
sions were too pessimistic, whilst In re
gard to Texas and Indian Territory they
were the reverse. I would say, however
in regard to the latter, that over 100,000
bales of Texas cotton were received dur
ing August, 1902, which Mr. Hester
counted in the previous crop, whilst a
large amount of cotton—l robably 200,000
bales—was destroyed by the unusual rains
and storms of last winter.
I wrote In regard to my observation of
last year’s crop in Texas, “I think the
general reports of Insect ravages whlcn
have come to hand are not a bit. exag
gerated. This applies particularly to
Texas, where the destruction wrought by
both boll weevil and boll worm has been
so great it would be hard to say which
pest has done the most harm. From
Houston to as far southwest as Yoakum
and thence north to Waco, 1 examined
closely about forty fields in eleven dif
ferent places. In every field I found the
weevil and the effects of its devastating
work. In some fields not a single boll or
bloom that i could find had escaped. Ju
others 90 per cent were “stung,” tn
others less, until at Waco the damage was
perhaps not over 30 per cent. From Wa
co north the damage done by the boll
worm became ".strikingly apparent.”
From the news now coming to hand
every word of the above applies v.ith
equal truth to this growing crop, and tn
my belief another disappointing crop m
Texas is probable.
In regard to the size of the crop in the
other states, it is too soon to offer a defi
nite opinion. This much, however, cun oe
said for tiie benefit of those who count on
similar results to 1898 and 1899: The
month of October, 1898, was Hie hotb st
October on record, and this is a later
crop than that one. A cold October n w’
would be a disaster. It looks as if a crop
of 11,500.000 should have small terrors
for the bull at present prices of winter
months and a remarkably good yield will
be required In the states cast 01 the Mis
sissippi to produce such a crop this y< if.
’Die heavy rainfall, however, during the
past few days in the Atlantic stales ami
Alabama means great posslbilltii s for
their crops, with October weatlior as in
1898.
New York. September 17, 1903.
$1,925,000, while another extraordinary
receipt by the tubtreasury was $600,000
for a claim against one of the Bacilic
railroads. These several payments, there
fore, aggregate $5,997,000, and the off
setting receipts by the banks from the
subtreasury tv- re comparatively small, in
cluding $1,250,000 tor pensions. The net
, loss to the banks through the subtreas
ury absorption was $4,15,400. There was
also a loss which, however, xv.is not
large, caused by the interior movement,
this resulting in a decrease of $1,666.-
600 In cash. The receipts of $1,258,400
new gold aided in reducing the net de
crease tn cash for the wee kto $4,523,600,
as above. The deposits of the bank fell
olf $8,703,300. which amount was only
$190,600 less than tho sum calle.l for
by the loss of cash and the reduction of
loans; therefore the statement very near
ly balanced. The required reserve w.is
diminished $2,178,325 through the de
creased deposits, and, deducting this sum
from the loss of cash, leaves $2,198,575
as the reduction in surplus reserve, which
now is $13,173,625. . omp'Ut' : upon the
basis of deposits, loss those of $37,359,-
000 of public funds, how ver, the sji
plus is $22,513,375. The loans were .
duced $4,527,000 during the week. I os
wa.s probably partly due to the liquid 1
tion of speculative accounts on the stock
exchange caused by the somewhat ui .set
tling fall in the steel and other sliaies.
The decreases in loans also resulted from
11:0 <»p<-> itions of tile Bank of Bimmer. .'
and the Western national bank, wlii.-ii
are on the eve of merging. One feature
was an increase of $568,100 in ti' ■ 1 ireii
latiun, following a gain of $927,400 in
this item in the previous week.
■ It may be noted that the loans of the
banks now exceed the deposits by $12,-
573,500 the larg‘ ; t since He mi’idi. . f
July. This, however, is not an unfavor
able factor. The daily average of clear
ings for the week was $170,000,000.
against 5155.000.000 in the ;'i--vio is w
reflecting more active business, i.'om.par
ing changes in the items of loans six
. r the l arger banks inti! ate a loss
$3,800,000 and the two institution - abo e
named show a decrease $6,100,000.
Five of the banks lost $2,100,000 In cash,
one of wlileh alone reduce.l this item by
$2,300,000.
