The receipts to-day were about the same
as yesterday, five hundred bales. The

There may he considerable of deficiency
this year over what was produced last year
in this country, but it should he rcmcm-
bercd that the crop of lSS0-Sl was the larg-
est ever produced in the United States,
and that there was a sur
plus left over that may fully equal
the shortage this year. Nearly all the cal
culations are based on last years crop, and
they may mislead in regard to the amount
required for the worlds consumption. 1t
should be remembered, too, that there has
been an increase Of acreage this year over
and above any former one, which will add
to the yield, and which has been taken into
the calculations of all the estimates. The
crop of this country will no doubt be short
OF the yield last year, but whether or not it
will not be fully made up by the increase of
the yield in foreign countries remains yet
to be seen.
