DEAR SIR Are the planters in the United States
sufficiently impressed with the importance, relates to
their Interests, of producing large crop in 1917 Are
they generally aware that if they extend the yield to TWEEN
Y-seven hundred and fifty thousand bales, there Is every
probability that in the aggregate, tey will realize for each
bale forty dollars! Are they advised OF tie eyerions that
being made throughout England to the ol,sta
ces to the successful cultivation of the plant in the East In
dles' DO they know that in Great Britain alone the week
demand for the article during year will not likely
fall below 'hry-fve thousand bales one million eight
hundred and twenty tosand bales from the lst OF January
to the 3lst OF Decemberl
The cotton year in Europe commences the LIST of No
vembe and, consequently, terminates the 3st Of Octo
Der following The former is the period at which the new
crop begins to arrive, and the latter at which it has all been
brought into market Hence il is proper t'ta the satlcan
should make up his statement Of transactions in the article
annually between these dates The stock OF cotton in Eu
rope the 3I Of October, 1885, amounted ,2So 500
bales On the 3lst of Ocor 1876 had been reduced to
1000 bales 69l 900 of which held m Great Britain
while the diminution in that kingdom no less than
o3 900 bales The favorable accounts from the Uni
ted States the yield of the present year much
certain to fall below 2OoO0oo bales than to extend be-
yond that quantity Estimating the production, however,
1000 009 and all other 275000 bales,
together with the stock of I'll 900 bales int Europe the
3st October, there will be supply for the present cotton
year of 0 600 bales OF this Great Britain will require
900 bales; the continental states of Europe 100000
bales and the United States 1000 bales Total demand,
1850 900 bales The stock therefore, in Europe the 3lst
{of October 1885, will probably, under circumstances,
exceed 226 00oless by 5i5 900 than ia band the
3lst October last The cultivation of the staple id tile Brit
sh East Indies, the Brazis Egypt &c., will be augmented
account OF its increased value and the yield for exporta-
ton in these countries next year, may possibly reach
900 bales; which, with the probable stock OF Z60 900 In
Europe the 3ls Of October next will only leave sup
ply for the year commencing the 1st Of November, lSH
exclusive of the production of the United States, OF $4,000
baes-equa only to about fifteen weeks consumption in
England Now, if our planters produce 275OOO0
allowance
SUMPTION the supply for the year which will terminate on
the 3lst October, 1Si3 from all sources, will amount to
3276000 bales and taking the present annual consump
ton the of the demand, the stock on the ls OF No
vember, 1913 in Europe, will be 1856 900 baesnot large
by 3l5 900 bales the 3lst Of October last 1t is
thus evident that prices will be materially if any,
lower then than they were on the LIST of November
En- impression prevails generally in England that from
the change in the British tariff and the consequent
augmented demand for breadsus and provisions, much OF
the labor in the United States will be transferred from cot
ton fields the growing of cereal gain and that hereafter
two millions of bales, al the most will be average crop
This feel quite confident, is entirely mistaken opin
ion; and trust that it will be demonstrated by the re-
suits of year As long planters receive ten
cents per pound for their staple interest in the world can
be prosperous than the producing one; and
they will be stimulated cultivate their fields faithfully
causing two stalks grow where grew before-whle
there is prospect of their realizing such price. am

They should break down the rival interest which is threat

deserve these blessings Let them practically demonstrate
to calculating federalsts of the north their adj

annually contribute to its wealth. Two millions
hundred and fifty thousand bales of cotton at $40 per bale,
would be worth the of hundred and
millions of dollars 1t may be argued by the planter, that
he occasionally received for small crop than
ia large one there is inducement augment the yield
Such deuson, if practised upon, would eventuae adj
versey to his Interests. He may sell 1000 bales which he
can make without overworkng his aborers, for

500 bales welvc-anda-h per pound rival
producer would spring up in foreign countries, the
sumption the article would necessarily diminish One
or the other would be inevitable.
