New YonK, ,Jail.l4.-Drndstreet' lIs,s made
a widely-oxtcnded Investigation of the extent
Of the prc$cnt cotton crop and Its movement,
which Is Il matter Ut great interest on both
sides Of the Atlantic, ind tlosubjcct of much
general conjecture. Opinions hive differed
widely Us to Tho final result Of tho crop, tho
general estimate varying rs much rs a half
lnll!fon bnles Tho AREA under cultivation
Inns bccli largely In excess OF that Of any
previous CROP which hns added grent-
~ to tho difficulty Of procuring
exact information, but tho paper III qucs-
ton sent out carcfully-wordcd Inquiries
to reliable correspondents In every part Of
tho cotton belt, and their reports embracing
the larger portion Of each Of the cotton-grow-
ing Statos, supplemented by telegrnphic all
Vices ara carefully summarized aud to be
1aado public tomorrow. Tic wtdely-oxte.,a-
eu Investigations OF Dradstrceta led to tho
following conclusion: First. tile acreage las

since last season In nearly every part of the
cotton section. It Inns breh generally ,,ndor-
estimated. Was undoubtedly l,5oo, eco acres

BEEN probably 10 per cent, making tic ncre-
age OF tho present crOp about 1G,500, 600
acrc8, which IL =, OK, 900 ucscs more thnn tho
estimate ot the United States Agricultural
DurUnU. Second, tho weather MD crop coI-
dtlous were generally favorable throughout

cations at TINT time pointing to D very large
Yield. Since Nov. tho
