I'll COTTON CROP.

According to The Flnancier, of Neyy
York, there is an increase of 81 pep
cent in the cotton acreage this Jear and
the condition is AS betteras compared
with last year.. This Increased acre
two and a half million more
acres. As to the prospective yield
The Ffnancier says
How greatly the volume of the cotton
crop will be in excess of that of last
year cannot now be determined, much
depending upon the maintenance of
favorable weather conditions during
the development of the plant. Indeed
it may be said that the crop will re-
quire most favorable conditions from
this time forward, until the picking
season, to assure a yield very largely
in excess of that of asst year., notwith-
standing the augmented acreage
Therefore the reports of condition as
they are received from time to time
will be most important factors in esti-
mating the prospective harvest.
The paper then goes on to discuss
the prospect for prices remaining as
high as those of last years crop and
to give some reasons why they proba-
bly, not be as high should the yield Of
NNO NSN IVY ~ III SASOo vi
that of last year. On this subject it's
views are not very encouraging. 1t
says:
l.. Should a crop largely in excess OF
last year be indicated as the season
advances, speculative conditions will
doubtless naturally have some influence
in inducing planters to relax their eff
forts to produce the pest results, es-
Docia1ly in soma localities for tho proS-
pect of lower prices, where they are
due to a larger yield, will most likely
be diScOuraging. Manufacturers a.
home and abroad will be Influenced in
making their contracts for deliveries
Of the staple by considerations similar
to those which govern spectators and
should favorable conditions prevail
during the growing eas the demand
for the cotton may be deferred in ex-
p~ectation Of low prices.
Therefore il would seem that though
the outlook is most promising SO far
as regards yield there's much that is
necessarily uncertain with respect to
the cash returns to the planter from
his crop. In the absence of an urgent
demand from consumers, the producer
might, at the beginning of the picking
season, encounter such low prices as
to induce him to withhold his crop
from the market in the expectation that
thereby he would contribute to a sat,
isfactory advance in the price. 1t
does not seem probable that whether
the crop be equal to it's Present prom.
Use of yield or not the planter will his
season enjoy to as full an extent as he
did last year the fruits of his labor
Through prompt marketing, and he may
be compelled to accept unsatisfactory,
prices because of h speculative ma
n~ipulation of the staple. It will be
most unfortunate If such shall be tn,

rHE BUSINESS ouTIook.

Henry Clews & &C. take a very hope
country. One Of the most favorable
features Is the increase for the last
ten months in our exports OF manufac-
tured goods, especially OF iron. They
think that our crops will, more than
any other factor, govern the trade, in
dustry and finance of the country. They
do not think that the presidential cam
paign and election will have as much
disturbing influence in the business OF
the country as usual. This, we sup
pose, is based upon the idea that a
democratic victory next fall would not
work SO great a change in our nance
system and the tariff laws as would
AVE followed the success Of that party
in either of the las two presidential
elections. The letter predicts a com-
paratively early termination of the
Russo-Japanese war. It ays in part:
One favorable feature is the increase
in exports Of manufactures from the
United States, our manufactured iron
exports during the last ten months
~
OOO, 900 more than during the same time
last year. This demonstrates that re-
Operative influences are at work which
will in due season prepare the way Tor
a fresh recovery. The decline OF cot
ton to more normal level is a reassur-
ing eatufe. Crop prospects thus lar
have been favorable as a whole. Wheat
condition is improving; corn planting
is making favorable progress. and cot
ton which shows a record-Oreaking
acreage, has made a better start than
last yea This year unusual reliance
will be placed upon the ops; for they
more than any other factor will govern
trade, industry n finance Of the
try for the balance Of h year. The
elections are naturally an influence of
some uncertainty; but less so than is
usually the case during presidential
years. The tariff appears to be the on
1y disturbing issue, and indications are
that talk on that subject will be vastly
more threatening than action. All
probabilities Point to a quiet campaign.
In financial circles there is a confident
undertone owing to belief that liquida-
ton has run it's course and that prices
of good securities are ready to respond
TO good influences as soon as these ap-
pear with any real force; but the big
leaders seem disposed to wait until 1T
is seen what the next two or three
months will bring forth.
Recent Japanese victories suggest a
comparatively early termination of the
war; not so much, however, as a result
of Russian losses as from the fact that
Russia seems utterly unable to carry
on the conflict and support a large
enough army at such a tremendous dis
lance with such restricted railroad IA
cilities. The Japs have shown splen-
did skill, courage and patience; still
