Mr. Neili's Back Down.

We do not know Why it is 60 late
coming to light. but the Financial
Chronicle OF March 10th calls st,en
tion TO the fact that Messrs Neil
Brothers' February circular contains
letter from Mr. Henry NJ Neiil.
dated at New Orleans. Feb lst In
this letter Mr. NeiIl seeks to explain,
or rather to account for his inability
to explain why be 80 over estimated
the cotton crop
He starts out with the attempt 81
have told you for some time that
was forced to fear, If not to absolute
y conclude. that my usual system of
judging the probable cotton crop by
q minute and continuous study OF the
weather say the temperature and
rainfall which it had experienced
throughout the cotton states-had
failed 4"
After declaring that the system
bad worked with approximate accu
rscy for 20 years. he goes on to say :
"Wby it hss now failed | could not
discover aud cannot yet do 90. bu,
have latterly heard Of many remarka
BILE cases OF disappointing results in
the final counting up of individual
crops He then goes Oh to recite at
some detail the experience of q farm
er. name not given, on 500 acres OF
land in Alabama where, with expec.
tstion Of making full crop. the
yield had turned out 23 per ceut less
than the year previous aud for which
results the farmer was absolutely un.
able to account, MIR Neill adds:
"Nor can myself discover any
reason. either in this case or Others
which have como before me. dc
not intend to make any second esti
mate. but | think it cue to my
friends to admit that fully acknowl
edge that my system, although car
ried out as faithfully as in all previous
occasions. has this time unaccounta
bly, failed"
Unfortunately Tor the farmers wht
failed to receive a proper price fol
their cotton because of the unwar
ranted estimates of the crop by M
Neill, and for the British spinner
whose faith in this estimate KEEP
them from buying lower priced cot
ton, Mr Neill's explanation Gomez
too late to be Of practical service
The public. perhaps. will have Il
accord Mr. Neill sincerity in hi
explanation, but at the same time, al
must admit that it is q very lame on,
unsatisfactory excuse. The August
Chronicle
