The Next Cotton Crop. The star does not suppose thcro is a man in the United States, who is at all familiar with cotton, who docs not concede that the crop of 1895-'96lliw be Fmaller than that of 1894 '95. It i only a question of r x tent of decrease. On this point the experts and statisticians are now at work on their guesses. It is said that in New Orleans a day or two ago there! were offered beta of $1,000 to $2,000 that the next crop would not exceed 7,350,000 1 ales, and 500 to $1,000 that the Texas crop would not exceed 2,115,000 bole s. The Star thinks the New OiUatB bettors would have a "surer th'-i?" i: thry would raise their figures for the en tire crop to 8,000,000 bales, and those for Texas to 2,600,000 bales. Wilmington Star.
