DROUTH HAS HURT
COTTONIN TEXAS
Outlook Indicates Yield in Ex-
cess of Last Year's in
Most Piaces.
Dallas, Tex.—Conditions affecting
the Texas cotton crop are no longer
necessary for consideration, it is indi-
cated in reports received from vari-
ous sections of the state. The crop
has been made, it is declared, and
the moat important matter now is to
harvest it as cheaply as possible and
market it at a fair price. Indications
are that both of these hopes may be
realized and for this reason an op-
timistic outlook prevails throughout
business and agricultural circles in
spite of the short crop resulting from
the hot dry weather of the last two
monthB.
Estimates throughout Texas place
the 1923 cotton crop at above last
year's yield in most places. Some late
cotton may be helpod by rain but tha
benefit that will thus accrue will be of
minor importance. The crop is "spot-
ted" more this year than for several
months, and those sections that have
been visited by "spotted" rains will
produce almost an average crop, it Is
reported hi many instances.
While the drouth of the last two
months has reduced prospects for a
bumper crop to one that will be little
above that of last year, it has also
lessened damage from worms, weevils
and other pests.
Because of the hot dry weather cot-
ton has opened from two to three
weeks earlier than last year through-
out the state and picking is well un-
der way in all sections. Indications
are the crop will be moving to mar-
ket in large volume by Sept. 1 and it
Is believed fall business will begin
earlier this year than usual.
While all sections of the stat9 re-
port cotton deteriorating because of
tha drouth, there is an optimistic un-
dertone in all reports indicating that
farmers and business men are not dis-
couraged because hopes for a bumper
crop wero not realized and that a good
fall and winter business is expected. It
is believed the reduced production will
aid in insuring a good price for cotton
this fall, and that aside from the
European situation there is sufficient
domestic demand to guarantee a steady
market.
Business conditions throughout the
state are reported to have held up
well during the summer months and a
decided increase is expected this fall.
Bankers tn many communities have
pledged them? jives to furnish suffi-
cient money to :• irket the cotton crop
and believe mont' v/111 be easier this
fall t.ian Bince the ;.2riod of inflation
following the war.
Merchants, while not disposed to
buy recklessly, are reported purchas-
ing large stocks for the fall trade.
Building activities and conditions in
other lines are reported improving and
it is believed the outlook generally is
quite promising.

969.

imports of gold in July, as compared

ing $27,929,447 last month and $19,-
433,539 in June. Exports of gold in

fore. Gold exports for the seven

ports last month, the comparative fig-
ures being $10,0(^1,463 and $6,233,163.
