A comparison with last year’s figures the first of ipL r la inialeadltig, because __ August to the end of the season last year, the crop deteriorated only 1.7, as against an vacrage deterioration for the same period In the nine years previous Of 16.9. A terrible disaster was averted last year by the extraordinarily favorable conditions pre vailing after the first of August, of which the early maturity of the plant allowed it to take full advantage. This year the crop Is from tw*o to three weeks later than the average, and probably four to five weeks later than last year, so that it Is hirdly likely that last year’s autumnal growth will be duplicated this season.” SPOT COTTON MARKET.
