USE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11th. COTTON GINNED TO NOVE'-KBER 1. Nearly Ten 3illion Bales, All Records Surpassed-Exact Total, Accord ing to Report of Census Bureau, 9,968,172. Washington, Nov. 8.-With a total of 9,968,172 bales of cotton of the growth of 1911 ginned prior to November 1, as announced today by the census bureau, the p?omised record-breaking cotton crop of this season is fast being made ready for the maiufacturer. At no time in the history of the American cotton industry has so great a crop been ginned to this time of the year. The amount ginned ,to November 1 exceeds by 1,777,000 bales that ginned in 1908, the previous record. It also is greater. than the ginning to Novem ber 14 of any year, being about 200, 000 bales' more than was Vnned to that date in 1904, the record year. Ibis would indicate that the crop was at least two weeks earlier in matur ing and reaching the gins than in pre vious years. * Possibly Fourteen Killion. Calculations of the year's total crop, ,based on the ginning reports would, therefore, probably be morp accurate if figured on the November 14 reports of other years. In previous record years, about 50 per cent of the total crop has been ginned to that date. and a rough estimate of this year's crop inight be placed at a minimum of 14, 600,000 bales. Commercial experts' es timates, however, range -up to more than 15,000,000 bales.
