The Cotton Crop.
The Agricultural Department this
afternoon issued brief synol sis of the
returns received for the month OF July
to date relative to the cotton crop. The
figures and probabilities given do not
differ materially from the information
already given to the public through the
medium of the American Press Asso-
citation. The department says the cot
ton crop for 1871 may reach as high as
100000, and possibly not be over
100000 bales, depending greatly on
the future condition of the weather, &c.
The latter estimate is the one fixed
upon the best statisticals of the South
ern States, whose means Of obtaining
reliable information on the subject fully
equals, If not exceeds, that OF the
Agricultural Department.
