position of planters to sell at any given time
than upon the magnitude OF the crop, We
incline to think, however, that planters will
not push forward their cotton very fast this
winter, unless they get high prices, for they
are firm believers in very short crop, and
have full control Of their movements IN conse-
quence Of having raised this crop very much
upon their own resources.
But while we make these remarks In favor
of our market, we would guard against en-
couraging sanguine hopes OF an Important
rise. 1t Is obvious there will be no real search
ty of American cotton here before liberal ship
ments arrive-for Gotten is coming forward to
this country much faster than was expected.
The price will therefore be governed, not by
TEMPORARY scarcity, but by the general pros.
poets of the trade for the entire season. And
we doubt If onr spinners will again run up our
market by heavy purchases, when they can
cover contracts by buying In America. We
rather expect O steady business In American
cotton at not very far from the present basis;
but we think Surats cheap at about I'd for fair
Dhollerah and as our import for many months
must be very small, and better export de-
mand Is now due, we expect this class OF cot
ton to harden, provided American keeps at Its
present price till the spring months.
Egyptian cotton, after rapid advance, has
suddenly collapsed The stock was counted
and proved to be double what 1t was reported
to be, and as arrivals In Alexandria are liberal,
and prices moderate, there has been pres
sure to sell. We do not expect, however, that
this description ofcctton will be relatively 80
cheap during the coming season, as the con-
sumption is rapidly increasing, and the CONT
nent will compete with US more keenly for
this crop. 80 that at no time will so heavy a
stock be thrown upon Liverpool.

THE COTTON PROSPECT.
THE AGRICULTURAL BUREAU RE-
YISES ITS CROP ESTIMATE.
Better Reports from the Cotton Fields
The "Moderate Expectations" OF July
and August Likely to be Fulfilled.

WASHINGTON, November 18.
The November returns of the Department
of Agriculture, relative to the condition and
yield of the cotton crop, indicate larger pro-
duct than was expected In October, and
promise fully to make'goo the moderate ex-
pectations of July and August.
There had been no killing frosts up to the
date of these reports. In the rich and we'll
cultivated soils of the lower tier OF States the
plant was as green and vigorous as IN sum-
mer. In some places the top crop was matur-
ing, though complaints of the immaturIty or
loss Of the latter growth are quite general. In
the latitude of Middle Georgia the squares
formed between August 25th and September
25th, under favorable circumstances, promise
to make good cotton. The principal cause
of the reduction Of yield In Texas Is drought;
in Louisiana drought, insects and black
rot; in Mississippi wet weather In the
spring, drought In summer, and IN iso.
lated sections the caterpillar or boil
worm; in Florida driving winds and floods,
which occasloned nearly the total destruction
OF considerable areas, aud drought has
wrought more or less injury In Alabama, Geor-
gla and South Carolina. The yield per acre,
as indicated by county estimates, Is largest In
Arkansas. decreasing in the following order:
Texas. Tennessee. Mississippi, Louisiana, North
Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina
mates show the least reduction from their
usual averages. The tabuations for Novem-
ber are estimates for each county of the total
product of the year expressed as percentages
Of the actual crop Of last year. These ave.
RACES, adjusted with regard to the relative
production of the counties reported, give the
following result: Area in each of the States
North Carolina, 80 per cent; South Carolina,
6S; Georgia, 81; Florida, s.; Alabama, 70;
Mississippi, p; Louisiana, 65; Texas, 6s;
Arkansa., 49,; Tennessee, 30. few coun-
ties in Florida, Kentucky and Missouri make
reports OF much the same tenor as the returns
from North Carolina and Tennessee. The
quality of the fibre Is reported good In all sec.
lions up to the present date. A very small
proportion of discolored or trashy cotton has
been gathered. Some attention has been paid
to Improvement In quality by the Introduction
of the Peeler aud other improved varieties.
Many correspondents note the superiority In
yield and comparative exemption from disease
under careful culture and judclous fertiliza-
tion The November and December returns
OF the bureau will be issued together and will
contain the substance Of all cotton reports up
to December lst.

IMPORTANT COTTON CLAIMS.

WASHINGTON, November l9.
large number Of cotton cases are pending
resume it's sessions. Some of them will de-
pend for their allowance upon decision to be
rendered by the Supreme Court of the United
States on appeal from the Court OF Claims, the
latter having decided against claimant on
the ground that the proclamation of the Presl-
dent removing commercial restrictions went
into effect at the time Of Its publication, and
not on the day of It's date. The non-suited
party contended that 1t took effect at the time
the original copy was filed In the department
of State. There having been seizures of cot
ton between the date Of the proclamation and
the day of Its publication, the decision OF the
Supreme Court becomes important 10 the ad.
Indication OF these claims, the proclamation
having In Its effect dispensed with cotton
seizuree
