Washington, December 30. — The December re|>ort of tin* Department of Agriculture upon tbe cotton product, indicates a smaller yield than the re turns of its condition in October. Tbe October average was 74, against 68 iu 1883, 82 in tlie yrent harvest of 1882, and 66 iu the disastrous season of 1881. Returns of the condition In October and of the product in December have been unusually divergent this year The first indicated a larger crop than last year, the latter a product slightly less, or about 98 i>er cent. The com parative decline is in the States west of Alabama. A comparison with last yenr is aa follows: Nortli Carolina, UX»; South Caro lina, 107; Gcorsrin, HU: Florida, IftM; AHib&mii, lu6; Mississippi, 94; Louis iana, 98; Texas, 89; Arkansas, 99; Tennessee, 101. Applying these facts to our figures for (lie crop of 1884, they indicate a product of 398,000 bales In North Carolina. 502,000 in South Car olina, 790.000 in Georgia, 60,000 iu Fltfrlda, G«V*X) l* Alabama, 848,000 In Missisajupl, 480.000 in Louisiana, 'ftOSJOUOlMTftxas, 613,00(1 in Arkansas, Jpfa 314,000 In Tennessee. The ra- maing territory will prolmbly give about 50,000 bales. This makes an aggregate of 6,580,000. These figures sre nrovisional and may he slightly modified by fotnre retnnis. It Is pos sible that general disappointment at the outcome of tbe middle and top crop has made the December returns unusually conservative, but It is cer tain that the rate ofyicld will be much below the average.
