6 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 September 25, which was 42.2 per cent of a normal, indicating a Fieia of 118 pounds per acre.

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.

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.

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.

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 to the absence of any sign of an improved foreign demand.

Wheat closed unsettled, i/jc to 1c net higher. Large receipts here weakened corn. After opening a shade to %c lower, prices hard ened somewhat and then sagged again. Corn closed nervous %c to %@%c net advance. Oats were easy with other grain, starting ■l4c off to ‘fee up and later showing a slight general decline.
