Product of Cotton Last Year Greal
in History-'earing the Billion
Market.
New Orleans, Sept. 6.-That
value of the cotton which the So
marketed in the commercial sea
recently closed far surpassed that
any previous year in the history of
country, in spite of a short crop,
the principal feature of the ann
report put out today by Col. Henr3
Hester, for many years secretary
statistician 'of the New Orleans<
ton exchange.
The money value of the commer
crop in tbe season 1909-'10 is pla
at $77S,S94.000, showing that w]
the quantity of cotton marketed i
3,216,000 baes less than the previ
season. it brought $95,100,000 m<
This does not include the value
cotton seed which, if added, wo
show the actual wealth producing
pacity of the Southern cotton la
for the cominercial year just closed
have been $902,894.000, a gain o
1908-'09 of $127,100,000.
South Holds Lead.
According to complete reports fr
both Northern and Southern mill
centres, the South for the third c
secutive season manufactured m
cotton than the North and increa
the lead which it held last season.
Today's Hester report forms a
tailed supplement to the report
the crop which was put out at
close of business August 31. That
port p:aced the crop for 1909-'10
10,609,668 bales, a decrease under t
of 1908-09 of 3,215,789, and under t
of 1907-'08 of 962,298. These, Col. B
ter says, constitute the face of
figures, but, considering the falling
in weight which averaged 6 68
pounds per bale there is the equii
ent of 138,000 bales, or a crop equal
10,472;000 bales of last year's weig]
Grade of Crop Good.
According to the report the gr
of the crop was good, averaging PT
tically "strict middling," a bare sh;
under last year. The average -pi
of middling cotton for the year is pl
ed at 14.37 cents per pound, and
commercial value of the bales at 73
against 49.46 last year, and 58.10
year before.
ScThe report places the actual gro'
bi 10,889,000 bales, and says that
the result of the high prices the
tarior has practIcally been s'w
clean, farmers .having little or no
cotton left osver and Southern
stocks having been materially
creased.
The report of the crop in the Sta
is given as follows in thousands
bales:
