THE COTTON SITUATION.

1t is refreshing to note that so emil
nent authority on cotton as Colonel Al
fred Il. SheppeTson finds much that is
encouraging in the cotton situation. He
has reached the conclusion that the crop
of the current cotton year will be the
largest ever raised Up to January %
there had come into sight of the present
crop $4,000 bales more than at the
corresponding period in 1895 had come
into sight of the crop Of 1S94-9J, which
was the record crop. This represents an
increase of q per cent, and the same
ratio of increase for the remainder of
the season would make the crop Of
1S97-9S about 10,430000 bales. AS II
matter of fact, experts have estimated
that the total output will be anywhere
from 10.225,000 to 100000 bales,
since it is certain that the mild weather
since November Is, has had the effect
of materially increasing the crop. As the

current crop will equal if it does not
pieak the record. Col. Shepperson draws
MS conclusions from comparison made
p1eetWetn the crop of 1S94-95 and that of
1898.
AS noted above, the receipts of this
seaSon have been nearly half Il million
oaleS heavier than the receipts for the
corresponding period of the former sea-
son referred to. Notwithstanding this,

While business of a speculative nature

are among the best received this year.
With few important exceptions the price
situation is one of strength, while the
enlarged demand for coarse grains is
taken to reflect the turning of attention
from higher priced cereals to those of a
lower priced character. At the east
last weeks squirt in the dry goods trade
at Boston does not seem TO have held,
but at New York there is considerably
more doing in the jobbing trade. The
cotton situation is one OF drnness, re-
fleeing alike the curtailrlonc of prCduc-
ton growing out of labor troubles and
the firmness of raw cotton induced by
good export demand. Wool is firm but
the demand has perceptb!y sllckenpd,
and there is less doing IN manufactured
goods. The best report as to tie dis

prices are firm. a feature of the Chi
cago trade has been the placing of an or
