Greensboro, N. C.Aprll 11, 1908. i Editor Journal: , (- .. New Bern, N. CL: " .v; : Wrote last February 29th., and since that date have spent the time travelling in the South and Southwest my opinion the growth Including linterB and factors samples of the 1907 OS crop is about 1,750,000 bales. The commercial crop will be diffi cult to guess, because farmers have held as never before, and they are still holding in different localities any where from 5 to 50 per cent, of the production. , ;" - How much of this hejd cotton will ome upon the market before Septem ber is -unknown;' but,the commercial crop is likely to show a shortage as .ompared with last year - of 2,500.- 000 bales. The greater portion of this shortage occurs in Texas and was caused prin cipally by drought, but the boll wee vil was a contributing factor 1n both Texas and Louisiana." ' In- other States where shortage oc curs the same is accounted lor by the coldest and most unfavorable spring on record, and to inferior plant ing seed. The crop was not material ly shortened in any State by frost . Looking forward to the new crop. farm work is well advanced and the conditions as to moisture entirely sat isfactory in the States beyond the Mississippi River. . ' In the States this side of the river, farm work is fairly well advanced ami It looks like fEiOilizgrB wlllVbe used to about the same extent as Inst year. although some people claim a reduc tion.

'- - In the matter ot acreage the "Mem phis Commercial .

' The consumption of cotton is being curtailed everywhere, but this does not seem to strengthen the demand nor sustain prices.
