5E MIR. Nei1i's Opinion.
The final estimate of Mr.. Henry NELL
Of New Orleans as to the lss7-ss cotton
crop. I'm which a crop Of l0,50o.O00 ba.es Is
preuacted places the total for the Al
iantic States at 4.030000; Gulf States 3.A5,-
co... and Texas and Indian Territory, s,225.-
000.
In a private letter Mr.. NELL says of his
estimate: so far from its being extrava-
CANT. 1t is just a million bales less than
the crop would be. on present acreage. "
every State should equal It's best previous
production per acre This, OF course, Is
hardly to be hoped for In any year. al
though 1T actually did happen In 1S9i-95
Although 1t has been pointed out that II
this should happen again the crop would
be II, 500 900, IT Is a mistake to suppose that
have ever issued an estimate OF this
years crop at that figure"
