Indian Cotton Crop,

The drought that the Indian people havo
experienced has had disastrous effect not
only upon their wheat, but upon their corn
crop. Just how far it will reduce the normal
output of Indian cotton and the expectation
OF this it is not now possible to say. Il has
been customary for those engaged in the cot
ton business in India to export about a mil
lion bales OF cotton. about e-fourth OF this
amount going to Hambu &. II, rs now seems
not unlikely, the cotton crop is reduced in
amount by 100000 or 60 900 bales, tho sales
amount, this leading to an increased demand
with better prices for American cotton. tits
fortunate that ut this particular time we are
likely to find so good a market on the other
side OF the Atlantic for some Of our more i'm
portant agricultural products.
