The Cotton Crop.

The Cotton Planters Journal of
Waco, Texas. devoted to the cotton
ginning industry of the South. and
one of the best. journals of Its kind
published, after a great deal of inqui-
nv, gives its views as to the outcome
of the cotton crop in Texas and
throughout the South. 1t says:
The Joural does not lay claim to
special prescience or ability to make
accurate estimates of the size of the
cotton crop this year. No matter how
careful the calculations or how intelli-
gent, no matter how extensive the re-
sources or facilities of firms or individ.
uals making estimates, it is inevitably
more or less matter of GUESSING, after
all. MIR. Henry Neill will corroborate
this statement and so will some who
have gone as wide of the mark as he.
But this much we venture to say. and
il is disinterested, for the Journal does
not buy or sell spots or futures, for it.
self or rybody else.
The condition Of cotton iE Texas
does not warrant ground for hope that
the yield in the state can exceed 1900
900 bales. aud those who talk about a
"iop crop" and what that will do to
retrieve shortage are building on an
unsafe foundation.
Viewing the South as whole, Texas
and all The cotton raising states. the
situation indicates crop from $780,
900 TO 5000 000--no more if any
change less than the smaller figurers.
Growers of cotton. spinners and
spectators will Of course think. plan
and act on their own judgment A
year hence we shall reprint this view
accepting cheerfully any chagIin that
the outcome may bring, and modest
speech if the view proves correct. We
have no advice to give growers about
holding cotton for this or that price
