ductory by Willie Tally. The building Of
the snip began VITA the placing Of the
keel by Albert Kline. The ship was bull

Purity. Truth; each plank bearing one OF
the sentiments named.

COTTON CROP FIGURES.
sTAIIST CLAN sHEPPERSoNS ES-
TINA ES FOR THIS YEAR.

\ Wide Variance with the Agricul ural
Bureaus Figures-The Present Crop
Put at 100000 to 100000 Bales.
The Crop in No State Less = an It
Was Last Year he Quality of
Cotton to be Inferior, However.
The MORNING News has received from
Alfred B. Shepperson, statstician OF the
New York Cotton Exchange, a review of
the cotton season Of 1SS9-90 and the pros
poets for ls90-91.
Mr.. Shepperson devotes a considerable
space to comparisons with agricul ural
bureau reports for the past three seasons
showing the bureaus estimates of the acre
age to November. estimates of yield per
acre and the crop weld indicated, all Of
whic3 show that the bureaus estimates
were wide of the mark, and the past ssa-
son oven wider than ever.
Mr.. Shepperson says that last months
estimate OF yield per acre Of 1877 pounds
was based on last June's acreage for
ls90-9l, and would give a crop of 7,759,0D0
bales. and he asks if such estimates OF the
bureau needed an addition OF Ii to Is per
cent, like those of the preceding seasonsi
An addition OF IL per cent. would make
the bureaus crop equal to about S,6-2, 900
bales. the average Yield of the eleven sea-
sons previous has been $50 of bale per
acre. A yield of 1S7 pounds of lint cotton
Ger acre would equal 1895 OF bale of the
sans average weight as the crop or lSo9-90.
Mr.. Shepperson goes further to state that
It hardly seems probable that the bureaus
November estimate of yield will admit of
an addition of II per cent, as this would
bring the yield up to .459 of bale per acre,
against .z5l for the phenomenal
season of lSS2-'S3 be also
says that the present outlook
seems to point to a crop Of from 100000 o
s.000,O coo bales. A crop Of 100000 bales
would be equal to .4J3 of bile per acre
upon the agricultural bureaus estimated
acreage of Is. $50, 900 acres.
He winds up by saying that 1t looks es il
cotton. production has overtaken the con-
sumption, and should the present. prospect
for an abundant crop be realized a lower
range of prices may reasonably be expected
than for the past season, all of which will
