HICKORY, N. C.. THURSDAY OCTOBER 4, 1906,
CONDITION OF CROP
IS 71.6 PER CENT
Government Issues Report up to
September 25th. Local Mar
ket on the Upward Trend, De
spite Fact that Futures Went
OfMen to Twelve Points.
Washington, D. C., October 2
The Agriculture Department re
ports the" condition of cotton to Sep
tember 25 at 71.6.
The condUtor ,/same date as last
yeaT was 71.2.
The ten year average is 66.7.
By States: Virginia, North and
South Carolina, 66; Georgia and Ala
bama, 68; Florida, 64; Mississippi,
Tennessee and Oklahoma, 75; Texas
and Indian Territory, 74; Louisiana,
73; Arkansas, 76; Missouri, 82.
The government report on the condi
tion of the cotton crop was received
here this afternoon at 1 o'clock. The
report gave the condition at 71.G per
cent, against 74 4nd a fraction last
month. The market went ofT about
12 points. The Charlotte market was
not materially affected either way.
Despite such a report as was today
handed out by the government it is a
pretty generally conceded fact that the
cotton market is now on the upward
trend. The fact that the report was
not much lower than was given by the
government officials is not surprising
when it is remembered that the state
ment was issued on reports received
from all over the country up to Sept.
'2sth. The disaster that has swept the
South Atlantic states since that time
did not enter into this report at all.
Along the track of the hurricane that
prevailed in the lower Gulf States
the crop is said to be practically ruin
ed. This is not a great cotton produc
ing area, but when the reports from
Mississippi, Alabama and portions of
Louisiana came in Bhowing that the
wind had been inestimably detrimen
to the crop in that great section, prices
took a jump immediately.
Added to the damage suffered in
this section, the Piedmont region has
been materially hurt by the incessant
rains, and even those who held out
during all September that the yield
would be heavy,, are now ready to
admit that the crop has been cut short
to a serious decree.
The cotton offered for sale on the
local market bears out this statement.
Its condition, stained, wet, and discol
ored, is very unsatisfactory to the spin
ners, and of course the loss falls on
the growers. A few days of fair weath
er would contribute in remedying this
defect; but unless the rains Cease at
an early date, the outlook is most dis
couraging.
One farmer was told that if hi 3 cot
ton was of good variety he could easi
ly get ten cents for it. But he only had
one bale on the market, and it was in
the usual condition, badly stained.
The farmers are confidently expecting
the market to continue to advance
and are holding their staple just as
long as possible with this in view.
The present conditions seem to add
foundation to their belief.
The farmers have not only suffered
extremely in the damage wrought to
cotton, but other products have not
escaped the baneful effects of too much
rain. Farmers who have peavine hay
and reap neat sums from the market
on this product have been heavy losers.
Hundreds of tons have been lost, or
seriously damaged. That which has
been mowed remained in the field un
til it was ruined, and that which is
still uncut has fallen down until it
will be almost impossible to reap it.
The hay crop is a big item to the
farmer of this section of the country
and the loss which attends the market
ing of this crop is as distinct as the
cotton loss. v .
