discussing the cotton outlook, gives the follow,
ing estimate OF the probable supply of the
present crop and the wants Of spinners;

This regard as a conservative estimate, and
would not be surprised If it were exceeded 10y
10 900 TO 100, coo bales
Let us now soc how much is available for
shipment to Great Britain:

This gives American spinners from the ports
for the whole season l,22OOs0, against l,s05,0OO
in 1881.
We are now in a position to calculate the Liy-
erpool supply:

Leaving Liverpool stock September 30 10000
There are twsnty-six weeks TO the aboye.date,
but allow one week for Easter and Whitstn-
lido holidays
If the above statement be correct, the supply
is only moderate one but does not Indicate
alarming scarcity, and 1t must not be overlooked
that the stock Of HAST India in Liverpool on
September 80 viii be about the largest OH record
and that the quality Is unusually good.
The Chicago Times has the following What
Is TO be the future OF cotton7 That is an impor-
Ant question at all times, but particularly so
whom the question seems to be now which side
will hold out longer, New York or Liverpool? 1t
is true the India crop is very large that ship
than last year; that the stock of India cotton now
ailoat is $4,000 bales, against $4,000 same
time last year-or an increase of $4,000 bales
but the American product Is u
necessity to some extent The stock Of
American cotton aloat now Is 375 600 bales
against 35t, 600 bales same time last year, de.
crease of 9, 900 bales and the amount of Ameri.
can cotton in stock and atoat is 2lSd,9ll bales.
against 2isi MS last year, or decrease of Sj75D7
bales This last is the most important fact to
bear In mind In the situation. The total visible
supply of all kinds of cotton under date of March
II was 1852 $50 bales against S,0lS71S last year
or decrease of 81 9i2 bales. The advance since
u year ago is shown to have been grearerin New
since September have been 2,6Sl,2il bales
against S,i3i,57l last year or decrease of 7jS,-
$50 bales.
SAYS the New York Chronicle: Mr.. Robert
Tannabill president of the New York cotton ex.
change, has received this week the following
letter, and samples referred TO in IT, We are told
that both samples arc fine silky cotton one of
them white and the other somewhat OFF color.
As to length of staple, it is hard to Judge from
the samples Probably 1t is about like Peruvian
cotton
JEBARDor February IS, lss2-Dear sir-I In.
close herewith two samples of cotton which
grows IN this country, and concerning which
should like to have your statement ms to Its re-
latlye merits and value In New York.
The one marked "T' Is from the state OF
Telima. and that marked "C' from Cundeimlar.
ca. Judge them to be equal.
The plant is not cultivated and grows TO the
height of trees, II and 10 feet
On the same plant ! find the flower In blossom,
the fruit and the cotton, which, am told, is the
case the entire year.
If sou will be kind enough TO address ue. care
