THE New York Chronicle, of Saturday,
gives the following epitome of the cotton
consumption and overland movement to
March list;
''Our overland movement we are able to
bring down to-day to the LIST of March. The
figures, therefore, now cover the first six
months of the crop season, and begin to
give pretty clear indication of the years
yield.
1.-The gross shipments by rail for the six
months still show an excess over last season.
although the months movement is smaller
than year ago, the total for February,
1882, being 81, l41 bales, against 92,30l bales
in February, 1881, or n decrease of SO, l5i
bales. For the six months the gross figures
reach $50, 800 bales against 740,-
62s bales during the same pc
Rod in lSS0-Sl, difference in ia,
vor of this season Of over 81 al bales the
difference on.February LIST was III ,S95 bales.
The decreased movement during Che month
is partially accounted for by the floods in
the south, which interfered somewhat with
railway traffic in the southwest. The net
figures continue to show falling elf from
last year, the months total being only 49,
O17 bales, against 40 bales last season, or
q decrease of 405l bales. This makes the
decrease during the six months 6l SOP bales.
LAS shown by our weekly statements, the
port movement in February has been
much smaller than last year. The receipts
now reach 1885, bales, against 1858, 52S
| bales for the same period last sea
son, difference in favor OF
lSS0-Sl of 56i,9S7 bales. The
receipts during the month were 81 1922
bales, against 572,72S bales, falling oil OF
$50, 736 bales. The exports to foreign ports
show decrease during the month of So
liz bales, and for the six months the total
is 2,2Si, 1877 bales, against 2 9S5 10 bales dur
| ing the same months of lSS0-Sl, a decrease
this season of65l,5S2 bales. The stocks at
the outports are now 204 1876 bales greater
than at the same time last year, and at the
interior towns the stocks show an excess Of
about 10000 bales, Using the facts dis.
closed by the foregoing statements,we shall
find that the portion OF the crop which has
reached market through the outports and
ton, since September. list, this year and last
year, is as follows:

The decrease in the amount of cotton
marketed during the first six crop months
OF lSSl-2 is thus seen to be S06679.
in the foregoing we have the number OF
bales which has already been marketed this
year and last year. An additional fact OF
interest is the total of the crop which was in
sight on March LIST, compared with a year
ago. We reach that point by adding to the
above the stocks remaining at that date at
the interior towns, less stock held by them
at the beginning of the season. In this
manner we find the result for the two years
on March LIST to be as follows:
lSSl-2 1851

This indicates that the, decreased move.
