A COTTON CROP OF 6.f35 200
BALES.

There have been various estimates n
regard to the cotton crop for the year.
Some of these estimates, in the last few
weeks, have been as low as six million
bales, and few have been as high as sew
ca million bales. Recently We printed
the advice of Mr.. Hector Mclean, Presi-
dent of the American Cotton Growers
Association, to the farmers to market
only one-twelfth of their cotton month
Iy. He believes the price will go beyond
ten cents.
One of the highest New York authori-
ties on cotton is the firm of Latham,
Alexander 81 Go. The following circular
letter, received from them yesterday,
will be read with interest by all who are
interested in cotton:
Having received many letters of in.
quiry, concerning the probable total cot
ton crop of the United States for this
year, we sent out on the Goth of October
$500 letters to select and reliable CORE
spondents- banks, bankers, cotton com
mission merchants, brokers, proprietors
of public gins, railroad officials and
planters, covering every cotton growing
county in the South, seeking informa
ton, believing that the average of the
replies we received would likely prove
more correct than the estimate of any in
dividual, remote from the cotton fields.
In response to our letters we have
received 1852 replies up to this date,
which we tabulate as follows, giving the
average estimate of the correspondents
from each State:

Estimated total crop of q. s., 6,435,oW
Weight of bales this season is estimat-
ed to be 10 to l2 pounds lighter than last
year.
In addition to the II jury the crop had
previously suffered, the excessive heat
during the latter part of August and
month of September caused the plant to
mature prematurely, to shed its fruit,
dry up, and lose the top crop.
By reason of the long continued dry
weather picking is farther advanced
than ever before known-in some Sec
tons already entirely over and the
crop has been marketed with UNUSUAL
rapidly
Few correspondents report any dis
position on the part of planters to hold
back their cotton.
In our letter from which the foregoing
crop estimate by counties was requested,
as a matter of some interest, we so
asked an estimate or guess as to the
total crop of the United States, and sub

The Chattanooga Times has been max

additional pillars under it.
1t would be foolish to base ON these
elections any definite predictions as to
the direction or force of the current of
popular sentiment next year. But it is
plain that there Is no evidence of that
recovery from the sstidal wave" of 1894
Tor which the more sanguine Democrats
had hoped. And, looking back over the
situation as it has been formed since the
Democratic party assumed power after
1892, il is not easy to see on what that
hope was founded. The party was asked
to rally, with nothing definite and moth
ing inspiring to rally to.-New York

get the game. They lost sight of the
tLaps on the way. A little before they
reached them they met some Dago's
