SEA ISLAND COTTON.

The market closed very steady, and
fairly active. A leading exporter says:
The crop in sight is. 101 1902 bales
against $3.50 bales in the correspond
ing time last year, and S7,720 bales the
year before, and 9s,262 bales in 1899.
The weather has been favorable this
week. The report from Carolina is
that the crop, although two weeks
later than last year, is improving and
with continued good weather will re-
cover lost ground. Not so however with
the Florida and Georgia crop, which
has suffered to such an extent from
previous cold and rain, that it is in an
exceptionally unpromising state. 1t is
very backward, in some places the
stands have been so bad that the fields
have been replanted with upland seed,
and much of the young plant has an
unhealthy appearance.
