Under date October 3, Messrs. James F. Hutton & Co., Ltd., report: Trading in the cotton markets has been restricted owing to the imminence of the orricial Bureau report on the growing American crop. No new features of any im- purtance have developed and although prices have fluctuated on the strength of varying weather reports and partly also through the increasing crop movement there is little change from last week at the close. Trade interests have shewn disposition to buy on all declines which appears to have been อ fairly safe procedure for some time. The Bureau estimate the crop condition as on September 25th as 49.5 which coincides vory nearly with general expectations. This compares with 50.0 last year and a ten year average of 57-5. The estimated yield is 11,015,000 bales. The ginning figure to September 25th are 3,217,000 bales as against 3,866,000 bales at the same date last year and 2,920,000 in 1921.
