lating TO the comparative quantity of the
present cotton crop in progress OF market
ing, average date of close of picking, in
juries by caterpillar and boll.worm and
quantity of product. The returns of
the product in bales makes the aggregate
$500 900, distributed in thousand bales
as follows: Virginia, "a; North Carolina,
ASP; South Carolina, GIG; Georgia, 80 (;
Florida. 6l2; Alabama, 7Si; Mississippi,
l,0i2; Louisiana, $50; Texas, ,S26; Ark
ansas, 6S7; Tennessee, 331; Missouri, % (;
other territory, - The unusual length of
the season for maturing is given very gen.
orally as an important factor. Increased
production and growth was so vigorous
in portions of area cultivated, that much
immature cotton was destroyed by frost.
Notwithstanding the lateness OF the season,
as a whole il was unusually favorable. The
returns are nearly unanimous il declaring
the staple longer than usual, whittier aud free
from trash. A few reports shorten the staple.
About IL per cent. of the crop still remains
in the farmers hands. The injury by cater
pillar was everywhere slight, with few excep-
lions. The loss is calculated at about per
cent. in louisiana 9 in Texas, y in Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Florida, and in
Georgia. 1t probably amounts to $1,000
bales.
