THE COTTON CROP OF 1s7s-sO.

NASHVILLE Tenn. Dec. IL. 1879.
To THE EprroR or THE HERALD:-
As promised now give you, with my accustomed
accuracy. my speculations tho cotton crop OF
1S79-S0.
in the planting of this crop than with the onc
with comparatively no replanting necessary. which
WAS followed by remarkably line growing season
throughout the entire cotton growing regions OF
country. with the exception. perhaps of Texas and
the Atlantic States. in some portions OF which
drought has been complained of. But the loss from
this cause been largely than made up by
the heavily increased planting everywhere through
out our entire cotton planting districts, an i'm
mensc stimulant to this end being given by the
comparatively heavy and steady advance the
price OF cotton III all markets about plant
Ing time. which has since been followed
by active cioan cultivation and u consequent
largely increased yield in the percentage
lint cotton to tho acreage put In as IL evidenced
by reports from all sections. So that, taking into
consideration the earlier period in which the gen.
eral crop waG planted, the very favorable and pro-
longcd growing period aud the remarkably good
that has generally prevailed far for gather
ing IL, and taking IL for granted that the present
renuncrative prices will afford an ample stimulant
TOR the successful saving OF tho ungleancd portion,
have carefully summed up crop OF not less than
$500 900 bales, with not less than per cent over
the average weight per bale OF the last crop, from
the fact that this crep an average possesses more
body than the last one.
The weekly deliveries at the ports from this time
forward will about average the corresponding
weekly deliveries of last season. The overland
movement on the anal summing up will be found
somewhat in excess of last season. while Southern
season, with perhaps moderate increase.
