the market created by American manufac-
terers is deeply interesting to this associa-
ton, which represents that great branch of
agriculture. OF the total crop of 1870 and
1871 of 4,352,3l7 bales, 1,l10,196
were consumed in the United States.
OF the total crop of 1874.

sumed in the United States, and of the crop

consumed in the United States. The in
crease ismost important considering the fact
that the loss of cotton sold in the English
market is nearly two per cent. per pound
in freight and port charges and the loss OF
weight in bagglng, ETC., and the average
price in 1SS0-S1 in Liverpool is GAS pence,
and in New York 11.34 cents per pound, the
advantage of the American market being
nearly cents q pound to the producer.
crease in value as the American manutac-
turers and. home markets extend, and
will undoubtedly produce an increase
in the average yield of cotton per
acre and in the ultimate
uniformity of the crop in the cotton States,
allowance being made for the difference in
soil and climate. This, added to the wide
diversity in farming which will be adopted
here, will do much to develop agriculture
in this section. 1t is undoubtedly true now
that the cotton belt needs a variety of crops
to fill the most unoccupied areas not suited
to the cotton plant. Applause Nine
tenths of the superficial area OF
these States yield no production in
agriculture except in a limited
degree in pasturage and wool products.
But three acres in every hundred
third of the breadth of the land actually
cultivated in the cotton belt. The cotton
crop is not evenly distributed in the ten
cotton States. In general terms one-tenth
of the the counties yielding cotton produce
half that crop.
THE Banner says the receipts of cotton
in Daingerfield up to the last of December,
1879, were 9, 500 bales; up to the last of De-
cember, 1880, 2,374 bales and the receipts

a,25O bales, notwithstanding the short crop
THIS year. The year 1879 was the best year
for cotton we have ever seen in this section.
Longview has received up TO date over
1000 bales of cotton; Ennis, ,43S, against
7,740, the same time last year; Waxsha-
chic, 1900, and Terrell about 1000 bales,
'aggregsting there four times, and
the receipts have been in, excess Of
last year. So far the receipts In
North Texas have been fully an average OF
those Of last year at same date. Those who
are, OF should be, well informed regarding
the present crop predict falling off in the
receipts after this month.
The Fsrt Worth papers report the re-
ceipts light In that city, and they will con-
tinue TO grow less, probably, as railroads
extend to points around IL; but Cleburne

The cotton market slloyer this country, as
well as in Europe, indicates a downward
tendency. And while we know that no
paper can control prices, we recognize 1t as
the province Of all journals to give facts as
they may present themselves. The HrR-
AID has endeavored to do this, and it is
gratifying TO know that its statements Of
the market have been correct, although IL
could have wished the results had been
different. There are few who
find fault with the HERALD's quotations,
as well as its published views Of the
market, but so far, all our readers will bear
rs out in stating that we published bare
facts, which nave been verified 70 the full
