THE GINNERS REPORT!
Commissjoeer of AgricaUvre Mikes Pub-
lic Miteaent tor September.
Austin Texas Oct. 10 Commis-
sioner of Agriculture R Τ Milner
yesterday morning at ! ! o'clock
made public the monthly cotton
ginners' report showing the number
of bales ginned for the month of
September. The report is still iticom-j
plete. us probably not all gins have
made reports. The report given out
shows there were 573601 bales gin-
ned during the month of September.
During the month of August there
were ginned according to the report
107506 square bales and 4207
round bales which makes a total of
685:ϊ4 4 according to the ginners'
report up to October 1. On Septem-
ber 25 the United States government
j In compiling the same statistics
showed there had been ginned up to
Sept. 25. <>(>S.2S9 bales. This shows
there is but a small discrepancy be-
tween the federal and the state re-1
port. The federal government in its
report counts the round bale only as
half a bale. The reports ol the gin-
ners to Commissioner Milner for
the month of September showed a
1 marked improvement as to the ei'fi-
! ciency of the report over the report
I for August.
j During the month of August there
were but about t500 gins reporting.:
The September report shows that be- j
tween 000 and 3100 gins reported.
The federal report of cotton statis-
tics shows that during the month of
September there were about 3.577
gins in operation In Texas. The re-
port given out for toda\ is not strict-
h a September report as some of
the ginners included all the cotton
ginned so far this war This is be-
cause some <>t tin ginners began late'
becaust of the lateness of the season
and again because main glnner» did j
not make reports during August j

Galveston Texas. Oct. 10.—The
movement of cotton to Galveston Is
said by local freight men to be usu-
ally light for this time of the year.
Freight men who a year ago at this
time were up to their elbows in work
and fretting over the congestion of '
cotton at this port are now men of
leisure comparatively speaking and
■ are worrying because of the alow
[movement. John Paul Jones foreign]
1 freight agent of the Sanla Fe said
jtbat conditions now are remarkable
in contrast to what they have been
in the past years in October and
that no cotton at ail. hardly has be-
gun to pass through Galveston. He
attributes this to the fact that the j
farmers made lots of money last year I
oft their cotton and are this year /
holding the product in the warehous- I
es waiting for the price to reach I "><·. I
