LAST YEAR'S CROP. Biggest Crop on Record; But Still Short of Consumption. Promptly at the close of the commercial year Col. H. Q. Hester of the local cotton exchange, made public the figures of the commercial crop marketed during the season of 190506. He places the total at 11.345,988 bales, which is a round million, more than was expected at the period of the season when It was fashionable for the government and various private authorities to put forth estimatea The fact must always be kept in mind that the commercial crop is an entirely different proposition from the amount of cotton produced in the same season. 'The commercial lo oa thu afanHorH hp. cause it Is possible to ascertain accurately the amount marketed in any given season, whereas the actual production does not always come into sight within the period embraced in the year in which it is produced. Thus, for Instance, while the actual production of 1904 was near 14,000,000 bales, a very considerable amount of cotton was held over and did not come into sight during the season 1904-05. This surplus for the 1904 crop was marketed during the past season, and therefore goes to swell the commercial crop of the season just closed. While the commercial crop of the season 1904-05 was therefore smaller than the actual production, the commercial crop of the past season of 1905-06 was greater than the production by several hundred thousand bales. Despite this discrepancy between the commercial and the actual crop the commercial crops for a series of years do not differ from the aggregate amount produced during those years, so that from a purely statistical viewpoint the commercial crop is the only safe basis of calculation, and estimates to be worth anything at all should be based on the commercial crop and not upon the production. Despite the Impression that prevailed at one time that the crop of the past season would be a short one, it has actually turned to be the largest commercial crop on record but one, being exceeded only by the crop of the preceding season. Large as the crop was, however, it fell far short of the consumption, it being now well established that the world's consumption of American cotton slightly exceeds 12,000,000 bales, or nearly three-quarters of a million greater than the commercial <crop, and more than a million bales in excess of the actual production. When one remembers the high prices at which the last crop was sold, the average being in excess of ten cents a pound, the enormous advance In the world's consumption of American cotton will become appari ent If the world needed more than twelve million bales of cotton at ten cents, what will it not use at a lower . price? It is evident, therefore, that the cotton industry is in the enviable > position where the consumption has outstripped the production, leaving a reasonable margin for the expansion of the American cotton production, which even a large crop for the year just commencing cannot reasonably be expected to overcome. Not only must the crop of the present year meet all the world's requirements, but it must provide for the restoration of reserve stocks, now reduced to practically nothing, to safe and reasonable proportions. With such conditions confronting the trade a crop even as large as IS,000.000 bales need occasion no uneasiness on the score of the future course of Drices. There should be no difficulty at all In marketing 13,000,000 bales at paying prices, unless the farmers seek to market their entire crop in a few months by forcing it on the market at whatever prices spinners can be Induced to give for it. Spinners are not philanthropists and cannot be expected to pay any more for raw cotton than they can help. If they And cotton forced oni them they will naturally seek to buy It at a very low figure, but if they have to go after it they will pay as much as the prices realized for the manufactured product will warrant them in paying. The good prices realized for cloths last season and the good dividends paid by the mills prove that cotton, even above ten cents per pound on the average, was not a dear article.?New Orleans Picayune. PLEASED WITH~THE OUTLOOK. Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co., Think Cotton Will Bring Good Prices. Under date of September 8, Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co., sent out a carefully prepared letter reviewing the last cotton year and considering the outlook for the growing crop. They see the situation about as follows: "In summing up the conditions of the growing crop It may be said that they are at this <late very favorable for a satisfactory yield. It must be taken into consideration, however, that it is yet two months before a large part of the crop can mature and be assured; hence, it is pure guess work to count up the number of bales of cotton to be secured and predicate prices upon such an estimate. * 'There are always elements of uncertainty about the outcome of a cotton crop until it has been harvested. Only two years ago the great spinning interests of the world manl'noU'1 err a a t alarm that thft SUDDlV of raw cotton at reasonable prices would continue inadequate to meet their wants comfortably, and they sought to And new sources of supply, other than the United States, to overcome the deficiency?thus far. we believe, without success. Today the same element seems apprehensive that an oversupply. of raw material mi?ht result from the present growing crop, and this delusion has depressed prices nearly two cents per pound. The production of cotton now Is far more expensive than ten years ago; perhaps 1} cents per pound have been added to the planters'. expense, by increased value of land,' mules, plantation utensils, supplies, and particularly labor, which is scarce and high priced in all sections of the southern states. "In round figures the last two crops of American cotton have amounted to 25,GOO,0000 bales and were sold in the markets of the world for some $1,200,000,000. ^ "This enormous supply of cotton *? *-' ' '"1 <\*>/$ ??nri * IntA was eageny purcujucu emu neut ...? consumption at highly satisfactory prices to the most sanguine producers, and we are encouraged to believe that even a larger proportionate consumption may confidently be expected during the ensuing year. "The spinning capacity of the world largely increased last year and has been Increasing at an enormous rate for several years either by the erection of mills or the application of Improved machinery to old ones. "Our advices are that the stocks of raw material in the hands of manfacturers are in very moderate supply, and many mills are under contract far into the future for their entire output; hence, there is likely to be an active demand for the new crop. "Universal prosperity everywhere seems to be assured for some time to come. In the United States particularly business conditions were never more favorable for large consumption of'cotton goods. Labor is not only fully employed at high wages, but scarce. Crops of all descriptions are bountiful, and the great consum ? ,.,111 ing masses or me pcupic ... the capacity to buy cotton goods liberally. "In view of the foregoing, it seem? to us, that continued prosperity may be expected in all branches of the cotton trade for a long time to come, and that present low prices have already discounted a very large crop not yet assured." ? At a meeting of the city council ol Greenville the other night there was a pretty full discussion of the street fair question and It was decided that no more street fair aggregations should be allowed to come to town. & ? Hon. W. J. Bryan has been invited to deliver a speech in Columbia on September 19, and he will probably be there on that date. He will make speeches In North Carolina during two or three days previous. ?
