THE IMG COTTON CROP. JLV llfTEBXSTIXG BOSTIEW OT TBS \ SEASON. < What ls the maximum Crop ! i I I j It seems that we are to have but one long cotton market. The meagre secelpts at Savan? nah, amounting to something like 2000 bales, for the present season, against 8714 last year, would Indicate a supply scarcely sufficient to constitute a market. In view ol* the fact that this staple for the future will find Its sole market in Charleston, it becomes important that we should form some reliable estimate of the crop now under sale. I think neither the buyers nor factors are prepared to admit the greatly diminished production ot long cotton for tho year 1870. We do not complain ol the incredulity of bu? siness men in this particular, for planters themselves found it difficult to realize the dis? astrous harvest awaiting them. The crop promised at one lime so well, and we escaped with so little injury from the worm, that it looks improbable when the assertion is made in planting circles that the crop of the present season will scarcely reach half the crop ol' tho previous year. Nevertheless, the statement ls true. Plant? ers o? experience all agree that the crop sunk from the first of August to the gathering sea soo to a mosf unprecedented degree. Al? though at the beginning, before any com? plaints were made, 1 looked for serious injury to the cotton crop tn view of the sudden anti extreme vicissitudes of the season and thu singular cessation of vitality in vegetable Hie as disclosed in the gardens and corn fields, Ac, vet I had no Just conception o? the over? whelming loss which bas actually accrued, for I had never witnessed anything like lt in many years' experience. Although the crop shed the bolls to some extent, there was ho correspondence between the loss suffered in thia way and the actual In? jury suffered in the yield. There, were bolls enough that came to maturity to have made a clever crop, but these bolls wera not more than two-thirds to one-halt the -bulk usually roached. They were like dwarfed ears of corn avhea we have a bin of '.nnbblrm" instead' of full ears. The grain may be Bound, but the ears are small and the grain small and light. Good average long cotton boHs should give from eight to eleven grains of lint to a pod. I had occasion to weigh ped after nod from a selected stalk In my gard? n, during the -past summer, and to my surprise found the pods making bat Ave grains of lint, although they wer?flfiparentlv sou nd and healthy. . The consequence of this diminution in bulk of pod was. ?hat instead of 840? to 1000 pods giving a pound of lint, it required, I presume, from 12001o 1600, ondTO the season progressed and the vit alii y of the plants' became more seriously Interrupted, I should net be surpris? ed If lt required even 2000. Thus lt was that the crop .sunk so unaccountably below the pru? dent estimates of experienced planters ol good judgment: and careful observation. t The past season was one of extremes, chang? ing from a wet June te a dry and burning July, and again to a wet August. There appeared, too, to be a singular atmospheric condition, which sapped the lire of all kinds of vegetation. The gardens all fired abd the plants died om in the best manured and cultivated enclosures. So, too, corn, without apparent reason, "fired" and did not reach half Us promise. Owing to the poverty or the atmosphere it failed to give the lungs of the plants the amount of atmospheric food, so readily ob? tained tn normal seasons; the leaves lost their vitality, and the plants perished at the critical period of forming the seed. This ls a critical period In all plants. In Wheat, on the best and most adaptable lands, there are seasons which, occurring Just at the period of the formation ol the grain, render the crop utter! v worthless. It seems that our cotton plants, during tho past season; suffered a like reverse, modified, doubtless,. by the lonsr-llved nature ot the . plant and the recuperative capacities incident toit. Upon examination of crops around me, I es? timated the loss at lrom 40 to 50 per cent.; in some instances more than this, lrom what such crops would without doubt have brought in fair ordinary seasons. This estimate ls made by broad inspection of fields in comparison with results reached. Now. let us see how near this estimate ls reached by decline In pods. If the decline suffered in bulk of average individual pod va? ried os I supposed from ? to this would give ns a decline of 7-12 as the'average. which would leave us with an average ol' 5-12 for the crop actually made. Let us try this and see how it corresponds with planters' observations. Cot? ton promising 200 lbs, gives.53.80 lbs 150 ?JS.?givci?.62*00 lbs 120 tts, gives.00.00 lbs *100 tts, gfcres..42.S0 tts 80 tts, grv< s.33 33 tts 60 tts, gives.:.20.00 tts 6)710 6)296 63 118H . . . average pounds per acre-40.41 Now, a flekl to make an average of lis or 120 pounds would usually have acres ranging in yield as above. Every planter will upon & mere glance at the statement above, see a falthlully accurate esti? mate of what actually did take place in the broad fields the past season. In some loeal instances Of peculiarly adaptable -mads the-re? sults have been modified by the recuperative capacity of plant, so. that 7-12 to 8-12 were reu! ! zed, but these were v/ery exceptional. . Now this comparison, made between t*i* estimate of the individual value of the pods and the field resugs, has grown under my poa without being forced, or even say knowing where it would reach. Les UB boldly apply this to the Wbole crop. . The crop grown tn '69, of 27;0Wbales,calls for j area of about 162,000 acres; deducting one-thinI Of Thia area for, the portion planted in upland, we har? 10?,GOO acres, which, at an average of j seventy, pounds per acre, woald give us a ?rup of 25,000.' This enhancement of -crop, in prom? ise, arose from escape from worm, ?nd a Jar better crop to Angust, than that, of VJ. NOW, in ? order to account for tocal exemptions of season, &c, let us tone down deduction ' of | 7-12 on the crop to 5-12 and 6-12-this would givens a exqp from.12,500balee to 14,683-barei> with an average ot 13,500 boles. It Is ' clear the crop, ?t-between ?hese figures, aa the re? ceipts show. Let us see. " Report of cr?p In the Courier ?fid NEWS, up to20th instant, ls for crop of 187? JW : - / ' Courter.* "Sews?

If lt ls contended the crop is not wanted, we ask why was the crop ot 28,000 of last year bought down to the bottom. .Again, if the present wars be cited as pre? cluding fair prices. We answer,'that the war cannot last always, and these cottons are bought for use at a period when the war will be at an end. And to show what a reduction in supply will effect, in thc face of war, see the ruling rates of upland in comparison with former times. So, too, notwithstanding the terrible American war, it will be remembered what fabulous prices all classes ot cotton reached. Shall we be answered with the dis? tressing deficiency of supply ? We reply, let the present deficiency in long staple, the great? est ever known, rnle in the same way. Let lt ? be borne in mind that the crop ls but half of | last year's,* and not a third ot that ol former years. We should keep the further fact in view that owing: to the present underselling, planters will neither have the means or the lndHoe ment to plant anything of a crop for the cur? rent year. We know of thousands of acres going out of cultivation because it does not pay lo make the staple at present prices. The planter says to the manulacturer, we are willing to work for you at living rates; necessity lorbids otherwise. Very truly, Jm W. K. POPE. COMMJERCIJLL NH IFS. Exports.
