February Cotton Report.


WAsHEGToN, February i0.-The cotton
returns of the Department of Agriculture
for February give the local estimates Of
the proportion Of the crop which has left
the plantations. A consolidation makes
the amount g0.4 per cent, leaving 9.G per
cent. still to 60 forward. About ninc
tenths Of the crop has therefore been re-
ported in sight. or is in small stocks unre-
ported in the hands OF country merchants
or in transit.
State averages are rs follows: Virginia.

Georgia, 30; Florida. 90; Alabama. 80 Mis-
slssippi, 81; Louisiana. 80: Texas, %; Ar

date of the close Of picking is about the
same rs last year in Georgia, Mississippi,
Louisiana, and tennessee: is earlier in tho
Carolinas, Florida, aud Arkansas, and later
~ Alabama and Texas.
The average of the country dates is De-
cemher 18th, ranging from November to
January.
The proportion OF seed sold TO the oil
mills has been found difficult 10 estimate,
but Is apparently not much over % per
cent. of the crOp-possibly between 800 900
and / 600 600 tons. The largest proportion
