chinists.

Mr.. PRICE ON COTTON.

New York. Feb. cit has come to
my knowledge that within the past
few days report has been indus
triously circulated that, notwithstand-
ing my widely published crop circular
of Ian. 25, and the views therein ex-
pressed, have. changed my opinion
with regard to thessize of the crop and
the course of the market. Were it not
for the implication of insincerity in
volved I should ignore these reports
entirely, but inquiries received from
many friends impel me at the risk OF
seeming somewhat egotistical to deny
them most emphatically.
AS the season develops and the
movement of the crop progresses. the
probability that higher prices will be
realized for cotton becomes in my Judg-
ment, more and more of a certainty.
The following propositions l held to be
self-evident.
First. That this years crop of
American cotton has moved more rap
idly than has any crop for many pre-
vious seasons.
Second. That the light receipts at
present are due to comparative exhaus-
ton of unseen supplies.
Third. That the crop is only about
8, 500. 900 bales of last years weight. and
that this supply will be wholly made

Secretary Hester near the close issued
his analysis of the crop to February
/, showing that Texas had brought
into sight 2,429,0 900 indicating a crop for
that state Of 5000. 900 to 3,1O0, 900. The
Atlantics during the same time have
marketed 3,006. 900 indicating crop for
these states of 100000 The bureau
estimated Texas, 100000 and the At

shows that the bureaus estimate is 300

aggregate on Texas and the Atlantics

conceded by every one to have made
much larger crop than last year, and as

chances are that small crop estimate
Will be abandoned soon, since facts
demonstrate that such figures are de-

are light, the probabilities are values
