in the area planted as 1876 pei
cent, which we take to include
the distinctions of crop caused
by the floods; but as this esti
mate is based upon planters in,
formation in probably more than
the actual decrease. AS the
prospects stands at the moment,
therefore, the decreases in this
crop is not likely to come at all
near TO what is needed to put the
cotton trade in a safe and normal
position. 1t must be remember
ed, however, that the rate of yield
last year was much above that of
previous years, being 80 pounds
per acre above the average of the
seven next preceding years. AS
planters have not this year bad
their usual means for buying fer.
tslizers, it is not at all unlikely
that some important decrease of
yield may occur from that cause;
which, added to the decrease of
acreage, may cause the output to
fall below the figures now indulg-
ed in by premature calculators.
At the moment, this staple stands
exposed to special injury from the
Anti. Option Bill passed by the
House Of Representatives and
waiting the decision Of the SEN /!
ate. 1t is now reported that there
is less certainty of the Senate re-
jecting the measure than has been
supposed to exist, owing to the
farming and planting interests |
having brought sharp party pres
sure to bear upon leading SEN
ators. However this may be, the
of the case are caus.
ing serious obstruction to not
only the cotton trade but also to
Q wide range of other interests
We learn that, at Liverpool, ar
are in contemplation
for taking up the American opt
ion business, if 1t by law becomes
prohibited in this country. This
would give to England the COM
plete control of the, cotton mar
kets of the world, seriously to the
cotton growers detriment in
this country. The question arises
where would the planter stand
in the event Of the American
dealers being prevented from
buying for future delivery? it is
impossible to conceive anything
more fatuously blind than this at
tempt to limit dealings in our
chief staples to "spot" transact
ions.
In spite however of the uncer-
at present surrounding
our corn and cotton crops, the
country has now the promise of an.
other year of abundance, which is
calculated to strengthen our in
vestments and to stimulate the
reviving European demand for
them. HENRY CLEWS.

ment; but the predominant feeling
is one of increased confidence.
The report of the Department
of Agriculture on the condition Of
the growing crops removes the
past misgivings as to the pros.
poets of wheat. The general
average condition of Winter
wheat is reported as 1873. 1t is
to be remembered, however, that
since the date of this report the
weather has been stimulating and
generally favorable through the
entire wheat belt; so that report
as for the present date would, in
all probability, present a still
higher average condition. In
1891, the June condition was 96.6.
AS the acreage of this year is
about the same as that of 1891,
any difference from last years ex-
traordinaIy crop must arise en-
tirely from variations of condit-
ion. As to Spring wheat, the area
is about the same as last year; but
some doubts have been entertain
ed respecting it in consequence of
the storms having delayed the
planting. 1t was therefore a
much more welcome exhibit than
had heen expected when the Off
cial report gave the average con.
dition on June list as 92.3, com.
pared with 92.6 last year. AS the
indications stand to-day, there,
fore, it would seem safe to est.
mate the reduction of the Winter
and Spring crops from last years
figures as not exceeding 100000.
600 bushels. If this were added
the usual surplus carried over
from last crop, it would appear
that the total available supply for
heew year is likely to closely
to APPROACH that of last season.
In the minor cereals also the
showing of the official report is
very satisfactory as will appear
from the following comparison as
for June LIST: Rye in 1892, 81, in
'91, 90 A; oats in 1872, SS.5; in '91, So.
barley in 1872, 92.1 and in '91, 90.3.
The corn crop still remains in so
much uncertainty that is out of
the question to venture upon any
approximate estimate in respect
to it; the most sanguine reports
however do not pretend to COM
pare it with that of last year. The
acreage is likely to fall below
that of 1891, and although it is
generally reported to be making
good progress, yet the lateness
of the planting can hardly
fail to expose it to more than the
usual risk from earlier frost. This
fact holds the. stocks of the
Corn railroads In suspense.

meaning of those cIouded clauses
in the Democratic platform.
After the band had discoursed a
piece Of music Mr.. Wellington was
introduced and was greeted with
loud and prolonged applause. Mr..
Wellington was suffering very much
with severe cold and was very
hoarsc from frequent speaking, he

six weeks IN different parts of the
district, but notwithstanding this
his was mastery piece of oratory
and elOquence as was evidenced by
the attention paid hIm by the audi.

considerable oyer an hour. lie
dwelt at some length upon all ques-
tions at issue and proved conclu.
siyely by his able argument that the
Republican party was the true
friend of the people and that il

tor next Tuesday at the polls. Mr.
Wellington paid glowing tribute
to the Mckinley law and proved
beyond doubt that 1t is working out
