eighths higher in Nev'York, compared with
prices in Liverpool, than it was last year.
We give these facts without comment, for
the information of our readers, that they
may more intelligently Judge Of the future
of cotton, and the prices likely to obtain be-
fore the season is over
We copy the following from Bradstreets
summary of the crop. He reports the
crop better than month ago,
but he still makes blunders
that there is no excuse for. lie says the cot
ton this year is light, dry and fluffy, and it
is impossible to get rs full weight into the
bale as last year. He is much mistaken,
the lint this year is better and the bale hea-
vier, as will be seen by the following from
Mr.. II. G. Hester secretary of the National
Cotton Exchange, in his report, dated No
vember 0, 1881; at Will be noticed that the
movement up to November shows an in
crease in the average weight as compared
with October l, the average on November
being 1896 pounds per bale, against 1920
pounds per bale on October |"
Bradstreet's says: Last months report
showed the condition of the crop to be 34.5
per cent below that of the preceding year.
1t will thus be seen that during the past
month the prospect for the yield has inn
proved per cent. 1t will be also noticed
that each state has improved except Texas.
| The reports received this month indicate
that in every state portion of the crop is
still healthy and making fruit which may
mature, From North Carolina, Tennessee
and Arkansas, however, nearly all the re-
! ports are that the top crop is not likely to
mature before frost, as it requires several
weeks of clear, warm weather to mature.
From Texas, also, the prospects for top
corn are reported bad, in consequence of
the drouth.
at must be remembered that, as a rule,
the above report does not include full allow
ance for the increase in acreage planted this
year, nor that this condition and prospect
of yield may still be improved if the top
corn and the second growth started in some
! localities since the September rains should
mature. In giving Il definite estimate OF
the actual out-turn next month, these and
all other conflicting circumstances will be
taken into consideration.
The reports in many instances mention
that the yield of lint cotton from seed cot
ton is very light, and that the result of
ginning shows it to be smaller than reported
last month. 1t is also noticed that the
bales are very light, the cotton being dry
and fluffy. 1t is impossible to get as full
weight of cotton into the bales as was the
case last year"

The receipts OF gram to-day have been
meagre, but the demand is light and only
Tor home consumption. Prices have not
varied from yesterdays quotations.
The demand from England is not as act.

tanned.
Waco has shipped G7OOO bushels of wheat
this season.
In Chicago December wheat opened at 81
1-2and cosedat 1872, aquarter ola cent above
