This is in many cases true, but a change In
cultivation has been going on Of late wears.
and emphatieally so this year; the upper OF
northern portions of the cotton. States have
largely increased the land under cotton.
and some of them with a prOdigal use of
fertilizers; they have had fine weather
during most of the past summer and fall.
and the weld is therefore large; hence our
large crop this year, which would otherwise
have been a small one.
Second. With yield. then. of the size
our figures indicated (even were all other
things equal), pretty large receipts now
should be expected, for the amount mar
keted up to Dec. was much less than al
the same time a year ago. At present this
discrepancy has been overcome, and the re-
ceipts are now in favor of this year; but the
weekly totals may still continue large. the
conditions for marketing Except the one

Chronicle, they will find that all this time
not only the horse disease but cold and
storms and low rivers were keeping back
cotton, while this year fine weather. water
in The rivers considerably higher and rail-
road connections more complete. have an
operated in favor of free movement.
Third. There is another consideration
which is also having considerable influence
in forcing forward the crop, and that is the
close money market-sO close that the
planter has been able to relieve himself
only with cotton, while his factor who has
made advances has been in much the same
condition, and therefore unusually urgent.
The only circumstance operating against
free receipts is prices, and we expect to see
before long thai this will exert such an in
tinence as 10 make the weekly total less
than the crop will warrant, and then crop
estimates will probably fall again; hut we
hope our readers will not be misled BY an
unnaturally restrained movement any more
than by an unnaturally free one.
