THE SITUATION.
The Census Ginners' report, which was published on the 8th is
somewhat of a puzzle and was easily construed as bearish by the trade
in the absence of any comparative-data, and in the absence of informa-
tion indicating the amount of cotton remaining unginned: Elsewhere
we publish the opinion of Mr. Price which is only conjecture. It may
be nine millions and five hundred thousand, or it may be eleven and
a half millions. We do not believe that the trade has any conception
of the percent of the crop which has already been ginned. We hon-
estly believe that the crop is less than ten millions and that the amount
reported to have been ginned on November I was 65 per cent of the
crop. South TexSs, South Georgia, South Alabama and South Caro-
lina were 60 per cent through ginning on October I, We still main-
tain that we will see 12 per cent cotton before January I. Cotton is a
good thing- Hold on to it Cotton and Cotton Oil News.

The movement did not spring from a
