mile from their destination the horse
which Mrs. Teall was driving, became
frightened and ran away. The buggy
had Just passed over a small culyert

from the vehicle. Mrs. TEAL was
found near the scene of the accident

The foregoing figures, from 1890 to
1895, inclusive, are commercial esti-
mates. all others are those of the de-
partment.
The outlook for a good yield for the
season of 1901-1902 seems favorable.
The acreage is understood to be fully
equal to that of the season of 1900
1901, and the fact that the plant has
progressed well is what has given rise
to guesses of a crop fully as large, If
not larger, than the estimates of the
last. Conditions at the opening OF
the season were unfavorable, but they
changed in time for the plant to recov-
err it's setback. In some sections of
Florida damage has been reported by
caterpillars. Blight has also been re-
ported there. but it seems to be new
to farmers, who have been advised to
forward a sample bush to Washing
ton for the department to examine.
The prospective yield will depend
largely upon the time of frost. A late
frost will add greatly to the crop.

The New Crop.

The history of the new crop bears a
striking resemblance to that of last
year The early talk was indicative Of
large acreage increase, and this was
supported by the big increase in sales
of fertilizers. Like the year before the
start was exceedingly backward and
unpropitious; conditions were so an-
favorable that a portion of the pro-
posed acreage extension had to be
abandoned. The actual increase is va
riously estimated at from to 10 per
cent.
late and poor start was followed
by very irregular development but at
no time have the prospects been any
thing of a brilliant kind. The most
striking difference with last year is the
outlook in Texas, where the crop has
been seriously curtailed by the pro-
longed drought. In a large portion OF
the state the damage is said to be quite
beyond recovery. and the best informed
think that the Texas total will be more
than a million bales less than last
year.
In this section, the outlook had be-
come much more encouraging, but re-
Gently complaints of injury from ex-
cessive rains have become general. Too
much moisture is causing rust, she'd
ding, rot, and weed In some places the
plant is dying.
Upon the whole, the present promise
is a crop less than last years, unless
future weather developments should
bring a material change for the bet-
ter. From present indications it does
not seem at all likely that the other
states can produce enough to make up
a shortage of over 100000 bales in
Texas.
1t is far better to raise a moderate
crop than an excessive one A crop of
100000 bales or even 100000, at 2 or
1G cents is far more profitable than a
crop of 100000 at or 6 cents.
There seems every reason to expect
good prices this fall. If so. our people
should accept remunerative figurea
when they can get them, and sell their
cotton as they get it ready for market
of course, without undue crowdings.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
General Conditions During the Sea-
son of 19OO-19O1.

son OF lJUU-loOls
The opening of the sea island cot
ton season was generally favorable, es-
pecially for planters, with the outlook
for prices on the whole satisfactory
But subsequent market events We're
not in keeping with what many of the
trade had looked for, and towards April
a sharp drop came and the local stock
was about cleaned up around the low
level.
The season opened with prices any
where from 1S@21c, with some expect
ing the market to go much higher. In
stead, however, there was a collapse
about April, owing largely to the with
drawal of spinnerS from the Savannah
market to the interior, where they sup
piled their demands. The largest sales
for any one week of the season were
for that ending April 10, when 1000 bags
were reported sold. The previous week
800 were reported. BY the middle of
May pretty nearly the entire local
stock of 26, 900 to q, 900 bags were sold
at prices generally understood to be
around the seasons low level. The
most active week. of the season was
when the demand sprang up about the
middle of May and shortly thereafter
stocks were wiped up.
The production during the season just
closed is not yet known, and will not
be for several days. but conservative
estimates by the trade fix it around &c.
900 to $1,000 bags, which is from 1000
to $1,000 bags less than the crop fer
the season of 1S99-1900. For purposes
of comparison we give the govern
ment's sea island crop figures for the
past ten years:

THE RICE CROP.

The receipts of rice for the season
just closed were $4,000 bushels. The
entire OF this quantity. with the ex-
ception of about 1000 bushels, which
was sold for sede, was milled and sold
in Savannah. The crop brought GOOD
prices, ranging from soc to $1lO per
bushel net on plantations.
The season was a very satisfactory
one to the producer and handler so far
as quality and prices of rice went. The
average planting was about the same
as the previous season, and the yield
somewhat better. The present crop is
very promising. and with no storms
the first planting should be housed in
the next two weeks The production
Will be larger than last year, but no
