The cropof 1912 amounted 10 1,6S0.000
bales. There have been received already
Of the crop Of 1913. l.650.000 bales.
There remained then to he received. TO
make up the crop Of 1913 equal to that Of
1872, only $4,000 bales.
OF the crop Of lS42 there were received
to the time sinted above. l,ll0,000 bales,
and there wero received from the time
thus stated TO the close OF the season, ,540,-
GOO bales. which, together. make up the
crop Of 1912, I,6S0,o0e bales ssGr
There have been received already of
the crop Of ls43. l.65o,Oo0 bales. Should
the receipts fnr the remainder Of the cotton
wear he the same as Inst year amounting
10 SAC, 900 bales, the crop OF 1913 would
amount to 9, 100, 900 bales.
We mus, here observe that the prescn.
crop was more forward than that Of Inst
wear, and tina, it commenced 10 be sent 10
narke, at a much earlier time; i, may be
therefore Ina, the large increase of the
present crop over that Of last year has al
ready been received. II This be the case.
then the receipts for the remainder Of the
cotton veal will TO- amount To more Than
was received last year, say $4,000 bales.
Al any rate, according 10 this calculation,
the present crop wilt amount. as stated
shove, TO nearly 1900, 600 bales.
According to our table the receipts in
New Orleans were, to tho latest dates.
$50 900 bales. The crop Of Louisana. for
1912, amounted 10 72S,000 bales. This
shows ina, there have been received thus
fur of the prcsen, crop $1,000 bales more
than the whole crop Of 1912. In Charles
ton the receipts also have been 1000 bales
more than the whole crop OF 1912. In
Mobile. however. the receipts come within
5000 bales of heing as large as the crop
Of las, wear. aud in Savannah 81 900 bales
of The crop Of 1912; the crop Of Alahama
being 3lS.OOO. in 1912. and The receipts
thus fnr 3O9. 600. and the crop of Georgia
being 232 ,OuN halcs in 1912, and the re-
ceipis thus far 2ll 900 bales.
We will here offer a few exttacts from
the valuable report Of the Commissioner
Of Patents. 50 far rs they relate to inior-
nation respecting the present crup OF cot
ton in the different cotton States.
'.ln North Carnlina the cotton crop is
said TO have been % per cert. better than
in 1911, and the cause assigned is, the IA
voraole weather in The early par, Of tie
fall md The scasou when the fros, usually
takes place:
"The crop Of South Carolina also is
said 10 have been. as a whole. one-third
bcuer-,he warm. dry weather proving
cnngcmial to its growth.
ain Georgia, it is variously estimated a,
from 10 TO SO per cent. increase on the
previous year. Moro vas planted. and
the cultivation was more productive; pro-
badly the best rrop for many years.
The crop o! Alabama is also prouonp-
ced to have been equal or s per cent. su.
perior to that Of 1889, though in sorne Sec
ions the dry nnd warm weather were
subjects of complaint; and, in some others,
too, excessis ely we, weathee.
The aggregate in Mississippi is large,
better Than IN 1889, especially in The np-
laais ; not quite 10 good in The low lands.
"ln Louisiana the crop was injured by
The worm. rust, rot. holl worm. aud rains,
aud in some sections there was bu, little
more than half a crop bu, on the other
hand it is estimated in other sections NJ
90 per cent. better than usual.
I'm some nr Is Of Tennessee il is said
The crop TO have been unusually gnd,
even 100 per cent. better than The previous
year.
