CO ITON PRODUCTION.
The Number of Hales Gin net)
This Year Shows a Considerable
Falling Ofl'Comparatively.
The cotton crop is slow in com
ing in, according to the report ol
comrnt rce and labor. iMr.
W. M. Stewart, chief statistical)
of the division of manufactures,
has issued a statement in which
he shows that up to Oct. 18 but
3,829,627 bale^ have been ginned,
against 5,925,872 tor the
3ame time last. year.
The statistics show that the
amount of cotton ginned is less
every State.
This indicates that the crop is t|
smaller or that the season Is later e(
or that the agents are not as ac
live in collecting data as they j
were last year. p
The statistics of the quantity
dI cotton ginned were collected c,
through a canvass ot the indivual s,
ginneries of t4ie cotton States hy q1
(531 local special agents,who tound |1(
that 27,723 ginneries had been w
operated this season prior to Oct.. n,
18, and that these had ginned 3, el
S3!) G27 commercial bales, or e.
bales as pressed at the ginneries. ni
Counting round bales as hall c,
hales, the number is 3,706,248.
To the corresponding date last
year 29,314 ginneries had been i,
operated and had ginned 5,923,872
commercial bales, which was p
53.5 per cent.ot that year's pro- h(
duction. In coin paring the sta C(
tisticsofthe two years due allow- b
ance must he made lor the dif- Ci
terent conditions of the two seasons.

This report will be followed by t,
three others, showing the quan n
titv of cotton ginned from the a
growth ot 1903 to Nov. 18 to
Dec. 13, and to the end of the ,]
season. The final report will C(
give the quantity of cotton gin- j|
ned during the entire season, and
will include also the quantity ol ,,
liiiters obtained by the cotton (j
seed oil mills from teginning cot- jt
ton seed of this year's growth. w
The report for South Carolina
shows that 414.709 bales had (}
been ginned up to Oct. 18, all ol fi
these being f quare bales, except )|
1,504 bales ot sea island. Last w
vear at the same time there had
been ginned 001.431 bales, repro- |,
sealing 03 4 per cent of the crop IX\
r>l the shite. There were 3,08*2
ginneries reported last year, and 'p
only 3,044 this year. ()]

to show proper respect for old
