Cotton PronipecUi and Necessities
The reader will find somewhere in this edi
tion n very interesting editorial on “The Cotton
Prospect,’’ taken from the New York World, of
the 2d instant. The World scontt at short crop
stories, and looks for a crop of 3,700,000 to
4,800,000 bales as this snmmer’s growth. Ho is
Willing to admit that half a million to seven
hundred thousand bales of the crop of 1870
wero due to the extraordinary length of thema-
tnriag season, and his anticipations are ovidently
based npon the possiblo (.abstraction of that
Amount from tho growing crop.
But even with a yield of a little short of four
million bales, tho increase of consumption re
sulting from enlarged manufactnring facilities
in Europo will probably result in the reduction
of tho surplus shown at tbp end of this year, by
1,100,000 bales at tho end of next year; and
the World then very suggestively demands how
much that would leave to go into the next year?
We commend the whole article to the close
attention of the reader; as it probably reflects
a good deal of current intelligent opinion in
New York on this interesting subject. It ap
