Probable Decrease in CottonAcreage.

The Memphis-Appeal of June3; says:

Reports of correspondents todate of May 28 and 2i) indicate aprobable decrease in the acreageplanted to cotton this season of 6per cent. The figures arc, how-ever, more than usually indeter-minate, as considerable plantingremains to be done over wideareas. Correspondents' estimateson the condition of the crop, ascompared to normal, indicate aper centage of 80 to 83.

Cotton is later than last yearin all States save the two Carli-nas and Texas, and over thewhole belt the land preparationisless than thorough, and plant-ing was begun at a later datethan last year,

Rapid germination has, how-ever, done much to restore the

ane lost; the plant is generallyhealthy and growing thriftily,ad where it is advanced enoughcitivation is making normal

rogress. In detail, conditionsow as follows:South Carolina, acreage de.

reased 9 per cent.Alabama, acreage decreased 1Ir cent.Mississippi, acreage decrease(per cent.

Missouri, acreage decreased 11per cent.
