While There May Be Some More Decline, Nine-cent Cotton is Not a Bad Proposition. NVw York. Oct. 2S The work overshadowing factor was tin publication on Wcduesday of the wuius bureau r-Krt ou the amount of cotton ginned to tk tiler 18. This showed the record-breaking total of 7.740,000 naies hs against o.4j.j,b hales hist year and compares with 6. 417.WI4 iu l.04, the previous high record for the s-riod. A great deal of surprise and considera ble disappointment were express ed in some quarters because of the failure of the market to break on this unquestionably bearish iemrt. Those who were cxectui such action, however, evidently failed to take into con- side rat ion that quotations for two weeks iwst have been liberally dLscounting u rejwrt of even lar ger dimensions than the actual figures finally showed, and be cause of this t here until rally en sued a heavy covering movement 111 which to ;i considerable extent tin St. mil participated. .Many and varied are the cal culations which cotton interests ;::v making as a result of this report, but it is only fair to point out tlia! mathematical dc- d'h-tioi.s at this time are apt to lead one far iis r,jy. For iu istance the average ginning to October 1 for t,he past nineyeais fls 4ti.l per cent.

The one faet that can now no longer b hum tioned, and which this latest gov ernment report settles onoe and for all. is that the trade this year is cuitronted with an as wired crop larger than ever In- lore produced. an ineuieui or the week was the publication of Ellison's es timate of the world takings of American cotton.
