THE COTTON CROP.
The Total Number of Bales and tho Move
mCnt.


NEW ORLEANS, Sept. l.-Thc New
Orleans Exchange issued to-day the
official report Of the cOtton crop of the
United States for the commercial wear
ending with the close Of August, 1890.
made up by Secretary Hester
The report states that the total crop
amounts TO 7,311.322 bales, exceeding
the largest crop ever grown hv 2G5 .iS9
bales, and the crop Of last year by 373,-
OBJ. The statement Will bear the
closest scrutiny.
The report objects to the method of
dcductinG the cotton CONSUMED in the
Southern cotton ports from the totals
of the cotton shipped across the Ohio,
Mississippi and Potomac rivers. The
secretary has obtained reports from
every mill in the South and claims that
his statement docs not contain single
clement of the estimate. The total
southern consumption for the nast
year is reported at 5I6, 1853 bales. against
4Sl ,240 last year.
The number Of mills in operation is
2IO, with 1,6i5,19l spindles. Thirty
nine new mills, with 2iI .SGi Spindlrs,
nave commenced work during the wear,
and ID now mills have been completed
and Will be at work this iall. Fortv-
four mills are idle. nnmlrr of which
expect to start mp again at an early
date
The total number OF mills in the
South is now :36, with iO,Sl9 looms and
l,Sl9,29l SpindleS. The increase of
spindlcS during the past year is euuival-
ent to nearly one half Of the entire
number reported in the South bv the
census of 1891. The census of that year
showed l6i mills, with 76l ,3G0 spindlcs.
The gain within the past ten years
has been li2 mills with l,226,477 spin
dies, the increase in the number of
bales OF cotton consumed having been
%. 6l3 or more than 1S9 per cent.

Not only is the crop Of lNS9-9u the
largest ever produced but it has mov-
ed oil with uncXamplrd rapidity and
brought full prices throughout the
year; netting TO the farming interest a
handsome surplus.
One of the curious Textures Of this
years movements was Che shipment of
more IMAM 10000 bales Of American
cotton through Ontario, VIA the Canada
faclhc railway to Japan. Fifty bales
were also shipped to japan from the

Under such circumstances he should

n Rise in Provisions,

MAcnN, Ga, September 4.-The Teie-
graph says the corn crop is estimated at
l,GOO,GUO,O0O bushels. In 1850 il was g
ll3,OO0,0OO bushels, the largest ever har-
vested. The average crop for five years
past has been 1,S000OO,OO0 bushels. The
large surplus from last year renders it
probable that the esuppIy will not fall be
low the average, notwithstanding this
years shortage. The oats crop is poor
in quality in many localities and will
not exceed 575,OO0O00 bushels, against
Dl 100000 bushels last year, which was
the largest crop ever grown. Provisions
nave advanced, owing to the increased
price OF corn. Hogs for January dcliv-
