Government Estimates Cotton Crop
At 6,537,000 Bales; Condition 42.2
Last Month the Crop Was Forecast at 7,037,000 Bales
With Condition 49.3; While Last Year the Report Was
59.1 and 12,123,000 Bale Crop Estimated
WASHINGTON, Oct- 3.—Further decline in the condition of cot
ton during September resulted in a reduction of 500,000 bales in the
forecast of production issued today by the department of agriculture
which places the total crop at 6,537,000 equivalent 500-pound bales.
The growing season this year has been the most disastrous on
records, the crop showing a loss of 1,666,000 bales in prospective
production during the months of August and September. The end of
August found the crop in the worst condition ever recorded, while
the end of September, as disclosed in today’s report, shows unfavor
able weather during the month rendered the condition worse than at
the end of August. Record extremes of heat and dryness have forced
unprecedented maturity of the crop and deficiency of fertilizer has
shortened the fiber and lessened the yield.
Today’s condition report shows the crop to be 12.2 points be
low the worst previous record. Over most of the belt there will be
but little middle crop and practically no top crop.
The swarming plague of boll weevil has advanced almost to the
limits of the belt, being through the lower third of North Carolina,
into eleven counties of Tennessee and most of Arkansas and Okla
homa. Practically everywhere the weevil is in such numbers and
doing such damage as has not been experienced since the period of its
initial invasion.
The army and other worms have been present in damaging num
bers in most of the territory from Mississippi westward, stripping
the leaves from the plants over large areas.
Comment in general that the crop may be picked out by early
November in much of the central and eastern territory if the favor
able picking weather continues. The dry and fair September has
permitted uninterrupted picking adn with labor plentiful and rela
tively cheap a large proportion of the crop probably has been picked
than e\ er before. In Texas the floods and weevils have been more
less of an offset to the beneficial rains in the northwestern part
of that state.
;n some sections picking is completed and in much of the east
gulf territory the present picking will get most or all of it. Farmers
plan to clear off the crop and plow early to diminish weevil damage
next year. Dry weather has favored the quality of picked cotton and
also -Allowed punctured bolls to mature uninjured.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. —Cotton production this vear w-as fore
cast today at 6,537,000, equivalent 500-pound bales, by the depart
ment ox agriculture, basing its estimate on the condition of the crop

cast last month from the condition of the crop on August 25, which
cent of a norma1 ’ while in August a production of
8,203 000 bales was forecast, based on the condition of the crop of
•5, which was 64.7 per cent of a normal.

COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—Tb<? cotton market
was strong and excited during today's early
trading. The census report issued at the
opening showed ginning of 2,907,950 bales
pior to September 25, which was regarded
by local traders as very heavy compared
with recent private estimates of the crop.
Many* reports have been received, however,
indicating that an unusually large proportion
of the crop had been picked before lhe
end of last month, and the figures evidently
failed to disturb confidence in very bullish
government figures. Buying cn that expec
tation was stimulated by higher Liverpool
cables and reports of unfavorable weather
in the south, and after opening firm at an
advance of 29 to 52 points, active months
soon sold 100 to 115 points net higher, with
December touching 21.70 c, compared with
18.50 c, the lowest level touched on the
reactions of last montn.
December sold up to 21.95 c just before the
crop report was issued, with active months
generally showing net advances of 127 to
150 points. This evidently reflected buying
in anticipation of a condition figure of be
low 40, and when the official report was
issued, placing the conditoin at 42.2 and
the indicated crop at 6,537,000 bales, there
was a rush of general excited liquidation.
For a time the market was absolutely over
whelmed by offerings and inside of ten min
utes prices broke 125 to 190 points from
the best, with December selling off to
20.05 c. At this level, however, the market
was steadied by. trade buying and later ral
lied 50 or 60 points from the lowest on
the rain lews from eastern
tonight and the rain ews from eastern
and central sections <-f the belt.
The excitement subsided during the mid
dle of the day and trading was less active
early in the afternoon, rallies carrying De
cember contracts up to 20.92 and active
months generally about 75 to 100 points
from tiie lowest, but the early afternoon mar
ket met some held-over liquidation or hedg
ing and the improvement was not’ fully
maintained.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 3. —Tile second gin
ning report of the season, issued by tlie
Census bureau at 9 o’clock today, showed a
smaller total of cotton ginned to the 24tli
of September than expected, and a stiff rise
in prices resulted in the future market,
amounting to about .$6 a bale on the more
active months. Better cables than due
were also a help to values. At the end 'f
the first half hour of business prices were
159 to 125 points up, witli December at
21.45 cents a pound.
By the end of the first hour of business
prices were 126 to 169 points higher than
the close of Saturday, with December up to
21.95 c. The condition report by tiie depart
ment of agriculture of 42.2 per cent of
normal was higher than expected, and a
break of 200 points occurred in December
within live minutes, that falling to 19.95?.
This was the full limit cf fluctuations
allowed in one session under the rules of
the cotton exchange. Other months broke
from 155 to 195 points. At these levels
the market was 29 to 48 points under the
close of Saturday.
For a while a will market prevailed, but
grad-ially rew buying came in, being based
on recognit-on of the fact that 42.2 was the
lowest condition figure ever issued by tiie
government j n connection with cotton, and
that the crop it indicated, 6,537,000 bales,
was the smallest in thirty-five years. At
noon prices were 30 to 51 points higher than
Saturday’s finals, with December un to
29.56 c.
Tn the afternoon price changes were much
narrower. At 1:30 o’clock the trading
months wore 22 to 47 points higher than tiie
close of last week, with December at 20.45 c
and the market hold a steady tone.

SHEPARD & GLUCGCOTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 3.—Bureau day
brought violent fluctuations to the cotton
market. The ginning report from the cen
sus bureau at 9 o’clock of 2,907,950 bales
was under expectations and was followed by
advances of 126 to 169 points which carried
December up to 21.95 cents a pound. The
condition report at 10 o’clock of 42.2 per
cent of normal, indicatig a erop of 6,537,000
hales, was higher than expected and Decern
tier broke 200 points while other months
broke 155 to 195 points. At these levels
prices were 29 to 48 points under the close
jf last week.
During the later trading a more reason
able view of the condition figures prevvailed
and the market made partial recoveries
standing late in the session 25 to 50 points
over the close of last week, the late months
being stronger than the near. Acording to
these official returns the crop deteriora
tion points aganist the average ten-year de
terioration of 5.3 points wthile the indicated
crop lost exactly half a million bales, the
indicated crop a month ago being 7,037,004
Today’s report was the lowest condition
figures ever returned b.v the government
against cotton and tiie indicated crop is the
s.na'lest in thirty-five years. When these
facts are digested we think the trade will
realize that they mean a higher market in
the long run.
GRAIN
CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—Bears had an ad
vantage in the wheat market today owing

Wheat closed unsettled, i/jc to 1c net

BULLETINS
i The New York Giants and the
New York Yankees will battle for
the title of baseball champions in
the 1921 World series, beginning
next Wednesday. Seven games will
be played. The seasons of the Na
tional and American league are over,
closing with the Yankees’ victory over
Boston on Sunday, when Babe Ruth,
home-run king, smashed out his fif
ty-ninth home run, eclipsing his
records of the last two years, which
themselves were without parallel in
modern baseball.

sible. It is expected that practically
every municipality in the state will
be represented.
“The people of Georgia should feel
gratified over the wonderful success
of the Southeastern Fair. It is one
of the outstanding factors in the pro
motion of agricultural, industrial and
commercial growth of the /southeast.
“It is fitting that the municipali
ties of the Empire state should be
represented on this occasion. At a
time when there is forecasted a re
sumption of all activities in the
south, a revival of the state-wide
unity which has manifested Itself
in behalf of this Georgia institution
is very much desired.
“I trust that we shall have the
pleasurable privilege of extending
our hospitality to you as the execu
tive of your city. We await your
acceptance to this invitation, hoping
that circumstances will be such as
to enable you to attend.”
LIVE STOCK ENTRIES
LIKELY TO BREAK RECORDS
The live stock entries for the
national hog and cattle show at ths
Southeastern fair give promise of
breaking all former records for the
big 1921 exposition which gets un
der way Thursday week, October
13th to 22d, according to Secretary
R. M. Striplin of the fair association,
who has just returned from a two
day trip to Memphis, where the
Memphis Tri-State fair is in ses
sion.
Mr. Striplin made the trip co
Memphis for the purpose of getting
a line on the live stock exhibits that
are coming from there to tiie South
eastern. The exhibitors at the Ten
nessee fair, with the possible ex
ception of a few small local breed
ers, all will come to the Atlanta fair,
ivhere they will join practically
all the big live stock breeders of the
country at the national hog and cat
tle show.
From the Memphis fair will come
four herds of Guernsey cattle, five
herds of Jersey cattle; three herds
of Polled Shorthorns; three carloads
of fat steers in the carload division.
In the individual exhibits there will
be an excellent showing of Aber
deen Angus, the black cattle, a Here
ford show that will come up to any
standard set in the past and the
biggest Shorthorn show that has
ever been seen in the south.

CHILD’S BOWELS WITH
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Hurry mother! Even a sick child
loves the “fruity” taste of “California
Fig Syrup” and it never fails to open
the bowels. A teaspoonful today may
prevent a sick child tomorrow. If
constipated, bilious, feverish, fretful,
has cold, colic, or if stomach is sour,
tongue coated, breath bad, remember
a good cleansing of the little bowels
is often all that is necessary.
Ask your druggist for genuine
“California Fig Syrup” which has
directions for babies rad children
of all ages printed on bottle. Mother!
You must say “California” or you<
