| The above shows the 100000 crop of 1878
and.1879 received about 100000 more from
| January to May than the crop of 1879
and 1850, of s, $50, 600 bales, and less than
half after that date; also the receipts OF the
large crop Of $685. bales was
about 200, 600 bales moro than the 100000
crop. but nearly four times as much after,
May l to September 1. Also receipts at
ports of last crop after January was about
ZOO. 900 bales larger than the crop OF 1879 and
1880. So that if we assume that this crop
will furnish as much cotton after January
i as the crop of 1879 and 1850, which crop
was s, $50. 600 bales, we now have q loss OF
about 100000 bales to January l, which,
added to the 100000 bales shortage after
January. would only show crop little
above 5,500.0t0 bales.
WE poN'T SEE now ANY ONE CAN BELIEVE IN
A 100000 BALE CROP,
when we take into consideration how early
this crop was saved and marketed. The
weather and facilities for moving this crop
are unprecedented, and we think there is
but little cotton on the plantations. We
will assume that there will be 3, 100,0 600 re-
ceived at the ports by the first day of jan
uary; also assume that the overland and
Southern consumption is 100000 bales to
that date, and that stocks at interior towns
will be about 400. 900 bales. Then 1t will
required. 800 600 bales to be on the plantation
or near 80 per cent. of the crop, which no
well-informed person can believe, to aggre-
cate n crop of b500.0)0 bales. we don't
believe there is over 20 per cent. of the
crop on plantations not marketable after
Januaryl As to the value of cotton, II
will be regulated by supply and demand,
like all other commodities. We only wish
to approximate the yield from the best in
formation VIC can gather.
Mr.. THOMAS. of the Wesley Chapel neigh
borhood. in Pamela county, received the
81 900 premium TOR the best bale Of cotton al
the Atlanta Exposition.

Bradstreet's publishes table showing
the fall,bilitv of estimates of the cotton
crop. based on receipts at the ports TO De
cember q, and comments as follows:
These facts show the folly Of estimates
based solely on receipts. Ii docs not. hsw-
ever Sestrov the value OF statistics II prop
erly obtained and used. From the above
table calculation as TO this crop can be
made, based on The receipts to date: But
must be considered, and . comparison
drawn with the year. or years most nearly
like this season. This year the crop COM
menced to mature very early, and in conse-
ousnce of the droufh nsturcd very rap
idly. In 1876 the same was the
case to a certain extent, and IN
that year COL per cent. Of the
port receipts had bses received on Dccem-
Der %; but this year was even earlier.
Again the weather for picking and hauling
to market has been very favorable. and, As
compared with 1876, the facilities for mar
ketinr the crop. owing TO increased nam
her M cotton gins and extended railway IA
cilifies. must have tended TO hasten forward
the crop. especially ns prices must have
been satisfactory. From 1877 TO ltlD the
percentage Of receipts increased each year
