circular on the growing crop. After re-

"At this moment for this year the
promise is equal To any previous year
IN every state but Texas. and on the
present acreage, even allowing that
Texas should fall short Of her maxi
mum product per acre by 100000 bales,
the outlook now is for a crop of at least
$3.50, 900 bales with 800, 900 to $50 600 more
more within the range of possibilities. The
figure Of 9, 10000 is really very conserva-
tive, for product per acre outside of
IeXas equal to l8945 would give 1850 900
bales and maximum for Texas would be
5,'9o,eD bales, from which, allowing
l,oVp,eoo OFF, you would have a crop of 10

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

The public works instituted and car
ried out by the present administra-
ton will make IA fine record. In its
early days the Government was hamp-
cred by lack of funds, and it had
moreover, to pay up a large amount
of Indebtedness which il had fallen
heir to, besides being obliged to ex-
pend considerable sums to keep prop
er order But once the finances were
put upon secure and proper footing,
the era of improvement set in. So
many things needed doing, and each
separate district thought, very natu-
rally, that its particular needs were
greater than those Of any other dis
trict, and should be at once attended
to, that certain amount of jealousy
and dissatisfaction was at first en-
