Commissioner of Agriculture of North Car olina.

In reply to your inquiry regarding the cotton crop I have no reason to change my mind from the figures given your re- porter few days ago. l have intelligently sought information regarding the present crop from all the cotton states, and all indications lead me to believe that the present crop will not exceed 9000,000 bales. In many of the states there will be no top crop at all; in a few instances there will be a small top crop, but not enough to be counted in the present calculation of the crop, therefore early or late frost will not affect these figures at all. There is no reason known to me why there should be a decline in the price of the staple, except that 1t Is brought about by speculation.
