THE o COTTON CROP.
As Estimated by the weIl-Known Cotton

As Estimated by the Well-Known Cotton
StatistIcian, II. NJ. Neil.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 16.-Mr. Fl. VI.
NeilI. the well-known cotton statisti-
clan, has issued a circular on the grow
ing crop. After referring to the cor
rectness of his estimate made in July,
1891. of the crop of that season, Mr..
Neill says:
AT this moment for this year the
promise is equal to any previous year
in every state but Texas. and on the
present acreage, ever allowing that
Texas should fall short of her maxi.
UNI product per acre by 1,00J. OOe
bales, the outlook now is for a crop OF
at least 9. 75O, 900 with 500, 0O1 TO 1,0Jl,-
O0o more within the range of possibili-
ties. This figure of 9,75J,OO 0 is
really very conservative, for a
product per acre outside OF
Texas equal to 1So4-95 would
give 1880, 900 bales, and q maximum
for Texas would be $3.50. 900 bales.
from which allowing 1000. 900 Off you
would have a crop of 10, 800, 600 bales.
The crop is now SO far advanced from
recent rains and heat Thai it will reach
maturity and be independent of frost
at an unusually early date and should
we soon have good rains in Texas her
crop also would be near perfection and
the possibilities for total crop would
then be something enormous
