senting the entire trade, the time seemed
inopportune for securing the benefit desir-
ed, and nothing was done by Congress to
protect the sea island growers. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that a foundation for Ill
innate results whenever Congress shall
again take up the tariff bill for revision.
Up 10 two years ago, 1t was not thought
that Egyptian cotton came in competition
with the sea island staple, but a thorough
investigation demonstrated that its impor-
tation into this country, free of duty, Sc
riously effected the native product and re-
suited in a material decline in its value
Egyptian cotton has been extensively used
of late years, in the manufacture of com
mon grades of Undertaking etc, for
which there is a large demand, and in this
line has replaced the lower grades of sea
island. Besides, the Egyptian cotton be-
ing of a fairly long staple, has been extern
siveiy mixed with the better grades of sea
island in the manufacture of finer goods.
There are numerous claims why there is
a desire TO have a tariff placed on Egyp-
tan cotton, the principal reason advanced
being that it has so deprecated the value
of sea island cotton that it is hardly
parys TO raise it in some sections.
The prospects for the coming season are
brighter than for last season in some re-
spects. The planting season was later than
usual in consequence of a lack of season.

tanning stands, many, in consequence of
the war, ploughing up their poor
cotton stands and planting corn
instead The stock at the ports are
smaller than for the same time last sea-
son. and the cotton on the farms aud in
the interior, brought over, is very much
less. While there is no way of ascertain
ing accurately the stocks of cotton held
by mills the new policy of the syndicate
of not overstocking would point TO a natu-
raj conclusion that mills have not on hand
the large stocks of a year ago. The clos
ing of the war so successful to our arms
seems to point to an era of prosperity in
which all branches of trade should share.
The receipt of the first bale of the
new crop this year was on Aug. TO- which
would indicate that the crop was about
a week ahead of last year, but on account
of good sunshiny weather last year at this
time which opened the cotton rapidly,
and in consequence of the late start of
this crop in the spring and the promise of
a continuation of the rainy weather.

THE GROWING CROP.

Seldom has there been year when there
was so little conflict Of advices regarding
the condition and progress of the cotton
crop.
Before the planting season began a gen
eral impression prevailed that there would
be a considerable decrease in the acreage,
due to discolragement over the low prices
prevailing and a recognition of the folly
Of producing two immense crops in sue
cession. This idea received some color
from early small sales of fertilizers; bat
il later transpired that the farmers had
been probably only holding off for lower
prices which they expected dealers would
have to accept when they found much
reduced demand for their large stocks. 1t
was another case of each one trying to
be smarter than mis- neighbors, and later
on they bought as much as usual, and paid
at least as much as usual for il.
The reduction in acreage proved to be
smaller than expected the government
gave the decrease as nearly per cent,
but no other authority put 1t nearly so
large The Chronicle called it only about
X per cent
All agree that the crop had a late start,
averaging generally from one to two weeks
later than the year before, due, general
ly, TO COOL backward weather and in some
sections to delayed termination, owing TO
deficient moisture
However, a good stand was secured.
The crop was well cultivated, and under
favorable weather conditions throughout
June and July developed promisingly.
There was an almost entire lack of serious
complaints of injury from any quarter
until August during which month there
has been excessive rainfall in the eastern
states of the cotton belt. For some weeks
there have been reports of damage from
this cause, such as rust and shedding, and
latterly these reports have become more
frequent and more serious claimed
the condition in the east has materially
deteriorated, which must find expression
in the September bureau report. However,
the prospects in the Southwest are still re-
garded as excellent; some people are con-
WINGED that Texas will make the largest
crop in the history of the state. Upon the
whole, the bureau condition figures which
in 81 2 in August are expected TO fall sew
eral points in September, perhaps to IS or
a little lower Even this is a very high
condition, and might be expected to
promise, if not assure, a very large yield,
but for the circumstances that the crop is
now probably fully two weeks later than
last year. not having matured so rapidly.
Moreover, this condition renders the plant
more vulnerable TO the later vicissitudes
of the season, such as early, or even nor
NAL frost
Evidently the present outlook Is for
certainly what must be regarded a large
crop. Some estimates have already been
put forth, claiming a probable yield even
in excess of last years, but no estimates
this early are of much value.
1t Is becoming more and more evident
that the weather in the early fall and
through fall to coming of winter has
much more to do with the ultimate result
than has hitherto been generally recogniz-
ed and this year may furnish forcible
illustration of the fact.
