stncted by the critical situation in interna
tional affairs. No particular weakness has
developed, however, despite improvement in
the rgeneral- torie of crop accounts.' ' The
present ; attitude ;of Germany with regard to
;this country's demands are far from satis
factory our so far ' nothing more" serious Is
apprehended, than.a possible rupture of rela
tions. Even an actual break with Germany
should; not have any very, great effect on
the cotton markets, Germany is already shut'
put from, taking cotton on all sides, however
badly a few million bale's or so might vb'e
wanted there, and their Indiscrimihating- sub
marines are already doing about as much
harm--to 'Our1 cotton' laden ships as they vcan.
Meantime exports; hold ' up in a. surprising
manner, having almost reached the 8,000,000
bale line. It really, looks as if we ' would
have sent .out some 10,000,000 bales this year
had: there been "ho war to interfere.' :A great
deal of this cotton has gone into war uses-7-how
much nobody knows! z ' .v ; '' ::
The. new. crdp ls 'now .looming up to cast
.its .-shadow, over, the prospect. : Despite the
uhusual lateness; of-the start, the Bureau re
portfed .the condition . at 80, which is a shade
oyer the lOryear, average. " Subsequent to the
date of this report, the Weather Bureau tells
of -favorable conditions,: so that it-must be
assumed that the early outlook is distinctly
better than theaverage at .this season. r The
acreage is. still a matter Of more or less un
certainty,; but riot many : are ' 166king. for a
.decrease of . over 15-per cent! ' - Of course, -the
.falling; off: in the quantity of.; fertilizer used
jean be expected to reduce the acreage yield
in sections where' fertilizers are liberally em
ployed! but. If farmer's are. striving to "make
as much. cotton as they. can, instead of just
as little-as1 they-can get on1 with, they have
a threatening prospect ahead of them next
fail. ...... .
i Owing to the announced material decrease
in the Egyptian acreage - and appearances
that American mills are going to rely more
Jargely upon domestic-staple, the outlook for
-Sea Island cotton- is more hope'ful.. It seems
advisable for. farmers' ln' section's, whefe 'the
long staple can .be grown to prepare to uup-
