THE COTTON CROP.

The New Orleans Democrat of last Saturday
publishes special kilograms from all portions Of
the cotton country, giving the latest news of the
condition of the crop. From these dispatches the
latest calculations of the probable yield in the
leading cotton States have been made. 1t is not
thought that the crop will reach 100000 bales;
stating the exact figures of one estimate, they
are put at 4,7O9, ,2s7 bales The Democrats reports
from Alabama show decrease of the crop of 20
per cent as compared with that of last year. In
Arkansas the entire crop is gathered and will
range from 40 to so per cent. below that of last
year. In Georgia the crop will be generally one
third short, except around Columbus, where the
yield is better than last season. Parishes in Lou
isiana show great difference in yield, Morehouse
not raising one-third of crop, while Landry has
nearly an average yield. The yield for Missis-
sippi is about 60 per cent, somewhat less than
was anticipated. In Tennessee the crop will be
about 40 per cent. of that of last year. The Texas
crop will be half of an average one.
