COTTON.

The receipts of cotton TODAY
were more liberal than yesterday, being
about one hundred bales, sixty.ons Of which
came in on the Dallas 4 Wichita Road from
Denton, Prices are unchanged, but firm at
quotations.

tions, while Others believe that fully three.
iourths or more has been marketed.
II We are to be governed by
the past, as regards this cues.
ton, we can safely believe that The
former opinion will prove nearer accurate
than the latter, for In former years the
amount Of the yield marketed has ALWAYS
been over estimated at this season of The
year. 1t Is beyond dispute that there Is a
great deal Of cotton held back all over thr
South, under the impression that better
prices will obtain In few weeks from this
time. We quote to-day:

Inc ngures snow that the United States
produce nearly four tifths of the cotton
crop of the wsrld, and we know that the
yield is steadily and rapidly increasing. Its
chief rival, though a long way behind, is as
notably declining. In 1873 the area under
Gotten in India was IL 100000 acres; in 1878
it was only $4,000 900. The yield to the acre
in this country is nearly four times that in
India.
