B. Dial that secretary Hester, of the New Oreans Cotton Exchange, had estimaed the amount of cotton carried >ver into the present season at ibout 6,000,000 bales. Thinking hat there must be' some mistake in his figure, the Senator wrote the Department of ' Agriculture, from vhich he received an exceedingly eassuring reply, of which the folowing is a condensation: Bales Bales Cotton on hand in / United States July 31, 1919 4,286,000 . >op, 1919 .__11,300,0001 Total, exclusive of linters 15,586,000 Consumption in United States _6,000,000 Cxports 6,500,000| 12,500,000 t : o gqc nnn JUCitViilg Ojt/uujvvv 1 Jales as the carry-over this season ~ f American cotton within the Unied States. Carry-over in American mills estilated at 1,300,000, leaving about ,800,000 bales in hands of farmers nd dealers. The department's letter further ays: > ? "There is no way of determining he grade of this surplus stock and o it is not kruown how much of it is enderable on future contracts, but 5 known that about 580,000 bales f bollies were ginned last season nd the census bureau has estimated hat about 40,000 bales of other 5w grade unspinnable cotton were a warehouses last spring in the Jnited States." >80,000 5 40,000 * th f20,000 deducted from 1,800,000 eaves 1,180,000 bales. _ m1 The Senator said that even in re his quantity of carry-over cotton ?f 1,180,000 bales he was informed ... . \ i large amount 01 it was an accunulation of the off grades for sevixal^ears past. He was then asked if he had an$, ^ nformaion about the growing crop.. Se stated that the season was some-, ;hing like three weeks late and thatj there had been a excessive quantity, * af rain,hence the plant' was large ' and sappy, and that continuance of too much rain or drought either, might cause the plant to deteriorate j rapidly. Furhermore,'an early frost |E would, cause to be produced a larger j quantity of bollies than in the past, I owing to the condition of the plant, 'sa He stated that Governor Harding R said the South was in better finan-ai cial condition to take care of its ci crop than heretofore; that unques-'t: t nrahly twps for manySi reasons, one among them being the hi last Congress amended the national | banking law making more JibeVnl cc allowances for advances on agricul-,5< tural products. The Senator said he b; was informed that the whole South Ji upas organizing for better marketing tc facilities and that he. knew this to w be true of every county in South ci Carolina.
