Last year the first bale was received at Bcuston on July 4, and the year before last on July 10. There are some cotton men who believe that, with good con- ditione this month end next month, the yield will be large, in spite of the cut in fertilizers, but this is being doubted by the ma- jority, who believe that, whereas last year's crop was the largest on' record (nearly 17,000,000 bales), this year's orop points to about 12,000,000 or 13,000,000 bales.
