Atlanta, Feb. 18.?The state department of agriculture sticks to its estimate of 1,300,000 bales for the Georgia cotton crop despite the assertion in many quarters that it will reach 1,600, 00 or 1,000,000 bales or thereabouts. It was last August that Commissioner O. B. Stevens gave out an estimate that the Georgia crop would not go rer 1,300,000 bales. The m-orgia receipts up to date are about 185.000 bales ahead of the same date last year, but they have already begun to fall off rapidly in comparison with last year. Last year's total receipts were 1,395.000 hales. "We stand by our estimate of 1,* 100,000 bales." Colonel Stevens said yesterday. "There may be 75,000 bales more, though I hardly think so. But it will not go beyond that amount at the utside. I have watched the crop eloaely and from my observations and the port receipts, 1 am satisfied this will prove close to correct. Everything has been favorable to the gathering of the crop and it came on better than was expected. While tiro receipts now are considerably ahead of what they were last year, they are now beginning to run behind what they were last year at the rate of about 28,000 hales a week."
