From the concluding set of tables il 3D.
pears that the total weight of yarns and
manufactured produced in 1871 reached
l,072 0OO, GEO pounds, or about 1zH per
cent more than in 1869, when the out-turn
amounted to only $50. 600, 600. As com
pared with the average annual production
of the three years ended with lS8l-nsme.

son & Co. remark thst OF the increased
quantity Of goods produced, an unusually
large proportion has been taken by
the home trade, consumption mas besn
stimulated by the general prosper
ity Of the country, which has
largely su gmented the income of the In.
dustrisl classes, and by the comparative
deErnsss OF wooden fabrics, which have
experienced so crest an advance in value
as TO make cotton by far the cheapest AZ
ticle of clothing. The cotton yarns and
goods produced in 1871 are estimated al
l,072 S55, 600 lbs, against e42, 400, 600 lbs
last year; Of which S73. O00, 600 lbs. have
been exported this yeRr, against S02, 800.
GOO lbs. last year. This leaves OF yarns

Is 425. GOO lbs, and at the close of the year
40, $50 GOO lbs. Messrs. Ellison & Co. say,
In estimating the exports OF India and
China, they have added 10 per cent. In
weight because of a greater proportion OF

1870. The increase in home consumption
total quantity is equal to about 6 lbs. PEI

East India Cotton Crop Reports.
We select the following from the dis
trict inspectors report rs TO the progress
Of the India cotton crop, generally dated
the first week in January:
AHMEDABAB Cotton crop In q -four
ishing condition; cotton pods are setting
freely. Weather very cold and windy.
Heavy dew. LEris cotton pOdding NWell.
DHoLLERAH Weather cold. Cotton
doing well; also winter crops.
BRoACH AND JAMBRoosER Cotton Is
coming out freely in most of the fields,
and picking is going on; all the winter
crops srs doing well.
SURAF.-Some of the presses have be-
gun TO work, and picking is going on
pretty generally. Weather very cold.
SURAT AND BRoACK: Picking continues
TO 20 on steadily. Not, however, 30 much
in the immediate neighborhoOd, IS the
first lot has been pretty well got through.
The market supply at present Is mostly
brought from s considerable distance.
The quality Is good, almost without ex-
ception, and the prices obtained is now
very satisfactory to the grower.
SOUTHERN MAHRATTA: For the last few
DAYS the heavy east winds have OOnsid-
erFbiv sbated In the Dharwar district,
and the beneficial effect this has on the
crop already shows itselfin q satisfactory
msauer, Il would be still more beneh-
ciaI were Il not that we have a scorching
gun daily, far hotter than Is usual at this
season.
DHARwAR.-The American cotton plants
in the HoOblee TalishOoka have during
the week under report Powered freely.
There appear to be more flowers on the
plants than have been at any other time
during the season. The plants are well
set with flowers and buds, n seem
healthy; they are generally unde the
average sizs of late years. This may be
accounted for from the sowing season hRv-
ing been late. Picking in ordinary seasons
would by this time have fairly COM
menced, but there Is not Sufficient cotton
in the most forward field TO pick at this
date. 1t viii be atleast fourteen to TWEEN
" days before picking here will be fairly
on. The late favorable appearance of the
plants has caused the cultivRtors to resort
TO surface stirring again, TO keep the soil
loose, and from cracking. The indigen-
Gus cotton is now Towering freely where
the fields were well attended TO.
Standardization picking is not yet I'm
ished here. There are 8 great many half
grown pods and flowers on the plants,
which win not come to any good on ac-
count of the cold and want Of water ct the
roots. now hear many complains re-
Rardlng the out-turn Of cotton this yesr
compa ed with last. Some Of the cultiva
tors say It ie not oYer an e~ight-snns crop;
others put Il down at about ten-annas.
None Of them allow it TO bs g twelve.
anna one. and certainly IL is much less
than last season. This Is believed TO have
been brought about by the long continu-
snce Of the south winds and the sudden
and severe setting In of the cold weather.
Many of che plants were still green yes
terdsy, bat to-day there are but few OF
that color. Last nights frost, SKs, has
put su end to The fresh appearances.
