...forecast of the cotton crop made by the Department of Agriculture on Sept. 1 showed a marked reduction from the estimate made Aug. 1. During the intervening weeks there had been excessive rainfall in eastern and southern parts of the cotton belt, equally excessive droughts in Texas and Oklahoma, renewed activity by the boll weevil and leaf worm. As a result the"percentage condition" of the coming crop as of Aug. 25 was only 54.1%-the lowest figure ever reported by the Department of Agriculture. At this rate, the average acre under cotton will yield only 134.8 pounds...
...coming crop. This estimate now stands at 10,788,000 bales, compared with an estimate of 11,516,000 bales made a month earlier, and with the single exception of 1921 is the lowest for August in the past nine years. The pessimistic tone of the Government forecast was a complete surprise to the trade, and resulted in a sharp advance of $5 a bale for spot cotton in New Orleans. The final crop harvested may, however, vary considerably from this latest forecast, according to the turn taken by various conditioning factors during the remainder of the crop season...

...recent fall on the New York Stock Exchange of the price of "Steel common" to the upper 80's has been taken as a forecast that the earnings of the U. S. Steel Corporation for the second quarter of this year would prove disappointing. That this explanation was incorrect is seen by the fact that, although the statement of the Company showed a big increase in net earnings from April through June, 1923, the price of the stock has not materially rallied. Apparently the stock market looks for poorer business this Fall and sticks to its opinion...
Fashions of 1924. Fifty thousand buyers came bounding into Manhattan about the middle of July; Fashions of 1924 is nothing more nor less than an animated billboard propped up behind footlights and garnished with girls and garments for their delectation. It purports to forecast the fashions for next year, and on the program, in large letters, reveals exactly where among the larger New York shops these fashions may be found...
