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

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

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.

from Mr. Watson, commissioner of 1m

ollcy holder as does the Mutual Benlt
Life Insurance Company of Newrk,
it Is the only company doing busless
in this section today that pays
II 'its policy holders annual dividends.
' you are a wise man you will use
le same kind of discrimination in
uylng life insurance yotl would in
uylng any other valuable piece of
roperty, and buy from a company and
ot from an agent as it is the former
nd not the latter with whom the conact
is realiy made. It Is a duty you
we yourself to thoroughly understand
te difference, as well as the standing
f the company and character of the
jntract.

"THE BEST . Ill
i : ON EARTH" pa,:
Broad assertion, you say.
Well, we can CONVINCE TOU
without a doubt. We have just received
a CARLOAD OF OLIVER
CHILLED PLOWS, and we claim that
they are the BEST ON EARTH. They
are sold all over Europe, Asia, Africa,
[North and South America, and in fact
wherever land is tilled. Now, as to
their superiority over all other plows.
That is admitted by all. When you
hear this fellow, that fellow and the
other fellow say anything about the
plow he Is trying to sell, he will invariably
say, "It is as good as the
Oliver." But no better, thus admitting
that the Oliver is the BEST. So,
when you buy a plow you will make
no mistake if you buy an OLIVER.
The Oliver Is guaranteed against
any flaws. Any part of an Oliver
that breaks as the result of sandholes
or other defects, Is replaced FREE
OF CHARGE.
We are selling One Pound Package
of Arm and Hammer Brand Soda for
5 Cents.
