AN EXPERTS OPINION.

New York, January 4.-Dear sir: AS
have no pecuniary interest whatever In
the cotton market the conclusions which
| have reached In respect to the size of
the crop and the probable demands OF
spinners are based entirely upon my IN
vestigations concerning these matters, and
are absolutely free from the influence
of self-in,crest.
1t is evident to me that the extremely
favorable weather for maturing and gath
erng the crop and the long delay OF
killing frosts have Offset, to n greater
extent than is generally supposed. the
unflvorable conditions which prevailed
earlier In the season.
| think, too that the injury by drouth
In September was overestimated. just as
the benefit to the crop from the unusually
open fall, which has permitted practically
the entire crop to he saved, has been
underes,imated.
am satisfied that n large quantity OF
cotton has been held back In tho interior
by country merchants and farmers on
account of the serious decline In price
which occurred In tho middle OF October.
and do not anticipate any marked falling
off In receipts in January.
II looks to me rs IL the crop would be
about 100000 bales, and possibly more
So far during the present season the
consumption OF cotton by European ana
American spinners has been on about the
same scale as the average OF last season
AT the beginning of the season the mills
of Europe and America are thought to
have had on hand fully Elk hundred thou
aand VW~p pales OF cotton more IMAM NJ
the corresponding time IN 1871. They can
therefore, consume during this season as
much as their large consnmption or iast
season without buying within 100000 bales
