The above table is interesting, and indi-
Gates very clearly that outside Of the large
markets there is much less cotton in second
| hands than was held last year. 1t shows
! that the counties which produced G3pcrcent.
OF the crop hold less, and mary OF the re-
ports say much less, while some say that
| there is none held, while counties which
produced only 6 per cent. Of the crop hold
more The remaining counties report the
holding in each year as about the same.
As an outcome of the above information,
we present below statement giving III the
| first place, the receipts of cotton at the
| American ports to January l6, the date to
which, the reports were made. Second, the
amount OF cotton shipped overland to Janu-
airy /. Our reason for taking the movement
to that date is that as in the overland move
ment to January l is included some consld-
cradle cotton which has since been received
at and counted rs receipts in New York or
Boston, or some other one of the Atlantic
ports, this cotton will offset any cotton
shippcd overland between January | and
IG. Third, the stocks in the southern in
terror towns, of which the cotton exchange
has record, thus showing every bale OF
this crop that has been actually seen and
counted. To this we add an estimate for
the amount taken by the southern mills to
date; also one for the amount of cotton that
is held in the hands of stOre-keepers and
there is no record, and also one for the
amourt of cotton that had left plantations
before he date of the reports, but was still
in transit Oh the railroad or boat, aug not
counted IN receipts Or stor' at that d"te.
That will nlicate the totai1umber of bales
OF this crop thn has left the plantations, so

i1' j. planters hands, and so arrive at the

The above nearly exactly agrees with the
figures published by Bradstrcet's on De
cember 3, and quite agrees with that esti-
mate when allowance is made for the i'm
proved yield reported from some states and
the revised Texas figures mentioned above.
a LATE New York special says the bulls
in cotton say that the receipts are much
smaller than they were at this time last
year. The exports are also far below those
of last year, and the stock in this country is
large. The. spinners both here and in
Europe are out of raw material, and must
stock up soon. The position is very good
one for an easily forced advance; for the
free deliveries which have been made leave
but little in planters hands to come forward
in the future. The outside public who bought
cotton largely three months ago, have got
tired, sold their holdings and are now going
short, while the large traders, both here
and in Europe, have abandoned their bear
tactics, and are now long Of the market. |
They hold the actual property, and when
they find that there is no more outside cot |
ton for sale, they will probably advance
the price sharply and squeeze outsiders.
THE following is taken from Mr.. Ellison's |
last Liverpool circular:
And first, as to future consumption and |
supply, Mr.. Ellison presents very full and |
prepared analysis. WIKI regard
to arrivals from sources other than America,
he estimates the total from January l to
October |, 1889, at $50, 900 bales, or in aver
age bales of 400 pounds each, at ,S07 600
BALES, which, with stocks on hand Deem
Der 81 make the details of his estimate as
follows:
From January to October l, 1852
