The result exceeds what was gem
orally expected by 80 to 100 thou
sand bales. Compared with the
preceding year, the crop shows an
increase of 1881 bales. This
of course, exceeds the crop Of any
previous year, excepting that of
1859-G0, which was 1869 ,760 bales,
Or 290,731 bales in excess Of this
yield. The average crop for the
five years next proceeding 1901,
was 2,480,3l5 bales, so that last
years yield shows an increase upon
that average of 1,87l,972 bales.
This is an immense gain in tie pro-
duction of our leading staple, and
may be regarded as having placed
the status of the American cotton
crop where it stood before the out
break Of the war.
The overland movement of cotton
during the past year, including the
amount hoated up the Mississippi to
ST. Louis and the shipments by rail,
show total of 565,919 bales. De
ducting from this the overland re.
ceipts at New York, Boston and
Philadelphia, and the shipment from
New Orleans by the New Orleans
and Texas railroad, amounting to-
gothcr to 336,e96 bales. The total
direct shipments to mills hst year
were 153,825 bales, an increase Of
175,Os8 bales.
The statistics of consumption in
dicate the effect OF the low prices
which have prevailed throughout the
past season in increasing the purchase
of spinners, both to supply the en-
larged demands Of consumers and
to accumulate sto ck in view of an
advance in the price Of the raw ma
terial. The Ctronicles summary OF
the movement shows that the TAX
