The fact, however, that the picking season has been so favorable that the. crop Is more largely picked now. than generally for - similar see. sons of past years, will make this comparison of little benefit in reach. ing a conclusion; Ul'UCKB AUSi TJJNaV.

On this basis. It Is eerUlh that we shall hear of . a general., reduction In popular ideas of the crop. WVe shall not chare n thla change of opinion, but as we ire strongly bullish even with a crop ef 15,400,000 bales, it stands to reason that we must feet more confident of our position should the public come to consider that a crop of 11,760,000 wuie the maximum.' Miller Co.: "One very important and expert opinion stated that he be lieved . to-day's : ginning figures will constttute 75 per cent, of the total crop, Which. . considering ' the fine weather conditions prevailing throughout the season, seems not at all Illogical, h will be Interesting to note the interpretation given to to aaye figures by our ' conservative British cousins." . .

He says; rOur. estimate, which to baaed on telegraphio. reports received from all the State save Georgia, whose com missloner. 1 absent from the State, dated November 19th, and on the gin ners reports oi ptovemeer lttn, is 12.651.0( running bales, excluding llnters. : - This condition is reached after do all wane for the weather and other crop conditions for 1I0. were the estimate eased entirely on have not been the tame In the vary Ing -years. . Wer we to take the average amount-of cotton for the pact four aeasona to be sinned after No vember 14th. we would have to add 3,704,167 bales to the 1.410,561 balea already erin neo and get a total crop of 15,514,157 bales. , If we add to the amount already ginned In 1901 th -amount ginned after November I4tn in tie,, to wnioa year is condition closely correspond, we will have a total "Crop for this year of 15.(15.915 bales, which It is closely approximates the estimate of lt,(5f.((( balea that the association's Committee consider a fair one." , ABOUT, THE CONSUMPTION. The following view held by Mayse t Co, of fiew lorx, ana printea in The Journal of commerce are Inter esting and pertinents Thl firm eaidt lt the consumption of American cotton during a season of, panic And world-wide depression has been 11,(00,000 bales, what will b th demand upon America's pro ducing capacity when the world bo comes again prosperousT As the. tide la setting fast In that direction, thla question le a live issue. But for One disturbance fn trade, and above' all the undermining of public confidence, It ia safe to say that America' short crop of last ' year only 1 1,500,000 balea coming on top of the failure In India,' would nave commanded a very high price possibly not far short ' of the ' daxiling levels reached In 1004. Arguments along that line, however, are worthless, as the panio did oome and price slid swiftly in the opposite direction. -Stni, the point should not be lost sight Of in calculations on the possibilities of tne future. "As thla season starts out with aV aoiutely no surplus of goods anywhere In' the world and with a compara tively email- visible supply, the ques tion, of the else or this crop Becomes a very important one. Our oaui View regarding it are well known, but there are many .equally good peo- fle who conscientiously believe mat he field la not over 11,750,000 balea If these neoole .should become con vinced' by .;the - movement later on, that they are corrects and, knowing that th consumption In the past very bad year was 11,800,000 bales, now is it possible to convince tnem tnat a bl advance Is not ahead of us? When to thl argument la added the certainty that thejnext planting sea son will show an astonishing aban- , donmeat of land In the Mississippi valley, owlnsr to the weevil,, we can readily see that conditions are shap ing themselves for a- genuine bull market. -n j ,, r "The ! most disquieting "feature of the weevil situation la that it threat en not - a temporary - redaction of acreage, but a permanent one, in the low landa infested by the weevil, in consuming world during the past five years has repeatedly expressed its un easiness, -not la say alarm, over the danger ; Of . an Insufficient supply In the future to meet the requirement of th steadily, expanding consump tlon of cotton goods A result of this 'uneasiness waa th formation af powerful pinners' organisations in Europe to-fight what was termed the American monopoly of the production of cotton, and vigorous effort are be ing mad to develop the cultivation of -cotton wherever on th globe, soil or oumao wui ma un ie r axemenL - As th futur supply from America to placed in such grave dan-j ger' Dy the eastward spread or cne weeviC a recurrence ''of the alarm' among spinners So prominent between 1500 an4 1504. becomes a certainty, and a permanently higher : tang of cotton value -would eem,,to,be the inevitable outcome.
