THE COTTON CROP.

The reports sent out by the New York
cotton houses indicate that there is a
marked difference Of opinion among cot
ton men o. that city as 10 the size OF the
eet.ea crcn Many Insist that tho crop
viii be above the average. while others
ara equally as positive that Il will DE
considerably below Il. II Is certain thar
before tho drought OF August and the
Texas storm the impression prevailed IN
cotton circles In New York that the crop
would be as much as 100000 bales larger
than the crop Of last year. There Is no
such impression now. though the large re-
ceipts Of this month have had a tendon
ey 20 create doubt a. to whether the In
jury to the crop has been as great as re-
ported.
Il is difficult to see however. how the
opinion can be entertained that the crop
win be larger than that OF last year. The
large receipts DO not mean that the crop
g large one. Tho cotton farmers are
rushing their cotton 10 market because
they are afraid that. for some reason or
other which they do not undertake 20 ex-
plain the price OF cotton will fall. They
arc getting more than theY expected 70
get when they planied-a great deal
more-and. hence. they are satisfied 10
take the price that is now being paid.
The reports from al parts q this state
and from North Carolina ana South Car
olina indicate that the crop Is small

the bulk OF II viii be ready for market by
the middle of October. In other states the
government report is anything but ia
vorable to a crop above the average. on
the contrary. the conclusion 70 be drawn
from it Is that the crop, taken as a whole
viii be as small as that OF last year.
II Is the understanding that in the ter
ritory tributary 60 this port the cotton Is
being marketed about as fast az Il IL be
ing picked. It is probable that in other
sections OF the cotton belt the same con
ditlon Of affairs prevails That being the
case the spinners who are waiting TO get
