Glance at the Situation in the Cotton States. Whenever through speculative in? fluences or agencies the price of cottou futures rises or falls during tbe growing eeason, the writers who do" the rcaiket reports find abun? dant reasons to justify the course of prices, whether the movement be upwards, downwards or fluctuating, and eo the phenomenal fall of this >eek is ascribed to the "brilliant crop reports " A close examination of reliable re ports on the condition of cotton in tbe fields, would scarcely justify the above characterization,unless,indeed, the prospects tor this crop are always "brilliant'1 at this season of the year, for the reports indicate that oottoo is barely normal over the greater portion of the belt while in T-3ZS8 its condition is much below tee seasonable average In North Csrolina much of the cotton is .just coming up, and a great deal of re planting is necessary while tbe tem? perature is too low for rapid or favor? able development. In South Carolina tbe conditions are more favorable and with the ex? ception of late plantings, which are coming up to irregular stands, the crop is in good condition, but the plants are unusually small In Geor? gia the Stauda are variable and late planted ootton is not oomiug up well. In tbe southern and middle sections of the Mate, the stands are good aud chopping is finished In Florida early cotton is good, while late plantings are coming up to unsatisfactory stands. In Alabama reports concerning oottoo are generally favorable, except, that cool nights have retarded growth, aod oaused lice to develop or appear. In Mississippi cotton baa been worked rapidly and almoat without, exoeption the Stauda are reported good, although tbe oights have beer too oool for the beat growth of the plants Id Louisiana cotton planting is fin ished, and tbe work of scraping, chopping out, or cultivation is being; proseouted with vigor lo Tennessee cotton is coming up slowly, and early cotton is making; slow growth, as the result of cool nights. In Arkansss cotton is being chop ped out, and as a rule the stand in good, althoogh the plant is generali} small owing to the oool nights. In Texas tbe nights have been un? usually oool Cotton planting pro? gressed slowly in the central and south portions, but is nearing com pletioo in the north portion. Th?? condition of tbe crop is much better in the northern portions of tbe Statu than elsewhere, but oti tbe whole is not up to the average. Tbe conditions in other State* where cotton is raised do not vary materially from the States named, and on the whole the condition of cotton is scarcely up to the seasona? ble average i ?bs* ???>* ?^mmwmm??
