will therefore nave to be checked. and that
the present proportion of supply and demand
cannot continue. .
From the knowledge OF these facts cottoR els
anparently q very safe Investment at any price
below about Cd per pound, and a very malerl-
al advance must soon result from Its present
position.
The reports from the interior are very con-
tradictory regarding the crop planted, but We
believe that The general condition is lair at
this time-fully up to the average OF former
years. The acreage placed in cotton in South
Carolina and Georgia has been certainly less
than that,of 1870. That OF Alabama, Mlssls-
sippi. and Tennessee Is probably. about the
same, while that Of Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texas we believe obe. greater than IN 1871.
Thus we think that we can calculate upon the
total acreage in cotton being about The same
as that Of last year.
The planters can make very fair profits by
selling their crops at l6 cents, basis mid
ding, and we believe that if the South can
produce 1000, 900 bales cotton in 1871, that
price will be readily obtained for all OF II.
