1920 COTTON CROP
WORTH A BILLIOf
The Average Value of a Hah
Takes Big Tumble From
$171 to $57
The South produced a cot
ton crop last year which seec
and all. was worth more thar
a billion dollars, according tc
the annual statement issued
to the cotton trade by Henry
G. Hester, secretary of the
New Orleans Cotton Ex
change.
It was a year of tremen
dous depreciation in values,
said Mr. Hester, the average
value per bale falling from
$174.15 to $56.91. The total
value of the commercial crop,
of 11,377,316 bales was $1,
076,380,710. During the pre
ceeding year the commercial
crop, while totaling only 12,
443,180 bales, was valued at
oo ei n n a a coa
In commenting on the fall
in values, Secretary Hester
states that in the face of such
tremendous depreciation in
such a brief period “a most
remarkable fact looms out,
that financial instutions of
the South have held up as
they have. This is partly ac
counted for by the futures
contract hedge system.
The price of middling spot
cotton in the South during
the season was placed at 16.08
cents a pound against 38.21
cents during the preceeding
year. For the entire year the
average value of cotton per
bale was $56.91 against $174.
58 during the preceeding year.

heavy wind, hail and rain
storm here Friday night, the

age being estimated at about
25 per cent. Cotton was also
badly damaged.
