COTTON GIN REPORTS.

When 1t was announced several months
ago that the census bureau would publish
reports of the output of the cotton gins. o
disposition was manifested in some quarters
to withhold the information lest its publica.
ton might depress the price OF cotton
The Post commended at the time that the
planters have all to gain by the publication
OF accurate information and that nothing
could be more accurate than the gin output.
The fact is that the spinners and others in.
terested in depressing cotton prices are sure
to make estimates Of the crop, and In the
absence of actual figures they will color
their estimates by their desires. The reports
of conditions, made from month to month
and week to week by the agricultural de-
partment have completely demonstrated
this principle. and these reports have been
of great value TO the farmers by dlssipating
the false estimates put out from time to
time by the professional bear estimators.
The effect of the cotton gin reports viii be
precisely the same
The Posts contention is abundantly sup
ported by the first cotton gin report Just pub.

SOL per cent of the total, OF an indicated
output for the whole season of 9.S76.489. The
bear estimates run from 100000 to 1900.

the bear estimates. Indeed they
are so much short of speculative expecta.
ton that the operators are trying to dis.
credit them altogether. Until we have the
record OF a full season and the veridcaton
OF other methods of counting. the cotton gin
reports will not be taken at their full value. .
But after years demonstration the cotton .
gin reports il they are made with candor
anc care, viii cffecually check the wild es
Inmates which have so long operated to the
detriment of the cotton grower.
Only three cotton gin reports are to be
made during the season, It would be more
advantageous If they were made every
month But even three will be of great
value
