the following: We have now reached period
when although the question is, OF course, still
IN some doubt we may be pardOned for studying
the cotton situation from the point of view of a
probable crop of 100000 Before discussing the
huropean outlook We may estimate the probable
requirements In America for the year:
Northern consumption last year took . j G77 coo
southern consumption took. ........... $4,000
canada consumption took ............, 3lOOJ
stocS at september l, 1882. ....,........ 125QOJ

crop ..,...........,.,,,.2l2 I'D 600
Northern spinners have taken so far isl Gee
bales less than last year, and, as trade shows no
reasonable estimate If we assume that they
Will hereafter do no more than make up this de-
tciency. The south and Canada are adding TO
their consumption steadily, and for the present
yeur we shall estimate them to take $50 900 bales,
sgainst so, 700 last year. The stock at United
States ports September ]. last, was greatly re-.
duced and out of SO large crop 1t ~ reasonable
osuppose that larger stocks will be carried over

United states ports at 200C % bales. The follow.
