BALTIMORE, MD, Nov. 2s.-The
south.s cotton crop this year Will be
wort from s450, 0C00CO to $500 Co., 900, against
M average w s.uy,vVvV.v UI rate years,
an increase of from $l50,GQ000O to 1$200,0Go,-
Oo0. Including the seed, the value Of the
cotton crop will exceed $500 0O0, eco. Ella
boratiug these facts, the Manufacturers
Record says:
Southern mills viii consume probably
/, eco bales, against 1.500,090 bales last
year. This cotton, which will cost Southern
mills about Geo to sS0C0o,GG0, will, in
its manufactured shape, be worth more
than $40, CG0.GC0, thus adding sl5o,O0ooGe in
the process of manufacture. To this add an
estimate OF S1GeQ0j,01o as the value Of cot
tonseed oil, hulls, etc, and it is found that
the cotton crop this year will yield to the
South the following:
Gotten and Seed. $780, 00N, 900
Added value of cotton manu-
featured in the South.......... 10000, coo
Value of oil and hulls cake, etc,

This addition to the wealth Of the South,
