Estimated Yield Ger 1SS5-s6, $780,
600 Bales...The Outlook.

WV DdiNo- Nv ONNAVNAs
Messrs. G. T.. Greene q Co., of |
New York, have issued their annual
cotton crop estimate for the current
year. Their figures are based on re-
plies received to 1900 circulars sent
out. The estimates of the yield are
made up in three ways; Those by
states average the yield Of the past
season az $4,000 bales; by seaports
at $3.50, 1000; by interior towns at
1851, 900. Commenting on this, they
say: GA marked feature of the larg>
est proportion of our replies was the
report of late but good start for the
crop, An excellent stand and perfect
conditions to the middle of August,
after which injury from drouth in
some stations and excess of moisture
in others reduced the average Of quail
ity, but had no important effect on
quantity. Assuming, therefore that
on natural business principles the
present condition of trade must create
bias toward minimum estimates,
even in the minds of many Of the
most painstaking, and having the adj
vantage of recent personal observa-
ton through trip to several import
ant points i'll the south, we feel justi,
fed in adding somewhat to the above
showing, and place our estimate al
5000, 900 bales for the crop 1886
a figure still much below, that indi'
Gated by the phenomenal conditions
Of the stand to August 10, and from
which there is no good evidence 0
deterioration in quantity to the ex
tent claimed in some recently pub
lished estimates. Furthermore, it i
suggested that while the spinning
quality smay not result in so gooC
a proportionate outturn as last year
it has a fair offsett in the weight O
bales; thus far averaging ten pound
above 1884"
The average rainfall and condition
on the LIST of October, for fhe year
mentioned, was as follows:

Senator Beck delivered a strong
speech against the decentralization Of
silver few days since, in which he
criticized the President and Secretary
Manning severely. The people o. the
West and South will agree with the
substance Of his argument, if not
with his manner. If silver is good
enough for the laborer, it is good
enough for the bond holder, and many
people think the bonds should be paid
in silver as we'll as gold.

On the question of the supply of
American cotton, they give the follow
ing figures: Visible supply, $4,000
bales; mill stock in the United States,
$4,000 bales; mill stocks in Great
Britain, $4,000 bales; mill stocks on
the continent, 105, 900 bales; crop,
$500, 900, bales. Total supply, T.
837, 900 bales. Consumption estima
at 5000, 900 bales. The supply in
1884 was 1854, 900 bales; in 1883 it
was 7,776,000 bales. They argue
from this that there is little danger of
scarcity of cotton.
Given should its comparative
che0pness tempt more liberal in
vestment by consumers than We have
allowed for, the natural attraction of
low prices is already finding stall
wart neutralizing influence in the sill
yer question that seems likely to de-
feat expectations of consumption
stimulated tothe maximum of 1882 3,
when the world spun 6,323,000
bales"
The silver question is dwelt on, and
it is predicted that no material inn
provement in prices will take place
until the repeal of the silver coinage
law. With 100000 to 100000
bales to carry over to The next cotton
year, they look for lower range Of
prices, and consider that 81 GEMS for
midling uplands at New York is lot
