Cotton crop Indications.

Bradstreets Report gives = summary
Of the cotton situation with regard to
both the old and new.erop. Down to
the end Of March the port receipts aad
overland movement for this year
amounted to 3. l81 .345 bales. against
1851 for the same time last year,
az excess Of 523, 151 bales. Estirua-
ting the receipts fer the rest Of the
season as the same as those Of last year,
gives total yield for the crop Of 1881
of 6, 283, 403 bales. As yet there are
no indications Of any sudden falling of
in the receipts. The stock at interior
towns Is no less than it wa, a year
ago. The port receipts for the first
twelve days in April have been So, 000
more than in the same time last year.
Estimating the probable Increase of
receipts during the remainder Of lie
year, the total yield is placed ats 1922
600 bales. The opinion is expressed
that the present enormous consump-
ton Of cotton by the mills viii still
further increase. Regarding the out
look for the coming crop, the reports
say planting IS about fifteen days later
than last year. In some regions ope-
ratious are fully a month late. Fer
tilizers Will be used more than hereto
fore, notably So il the Caro!inas and
Georsia. Present indications arc that
cotton acreage, rs compared with last
year, will show some increase i'll the
Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and Texas,
while there will probably be no change
in Alabama, 6Iiss s-ippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee and Arkansas.

In so doing, the public school girls are
not exceptional among our young wo-

thor nursery appellations that they cling
to them as their fixed aud proper names.
They may even be offended when they
are addressed by their correct names,
