TUX COTTON CROP.
The Department at Washington KsUaasfea
b TlaM below the Araraga. or Aba at a,-
ftSO,OOe Dalae.
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.
