Expressions Regarding
Message. 1
Tho President's Message
an excellent impression npon
the
.made
Sena-
tore and representatives of both
parties. -It U regarded as a cpnser
vative and business like statement
of public affairs. Some of its
recommendations will, of course,
be Opened, those . relating to
subsidies for ships in particular.
Some Democrats differ with him on
the silver Question and some of
both sides on the question of res
fund in jr. Put such differences are
a matter of course, and those who
most disagree with bim say freely
that Mr. Arthur's Message is a
document of uncommon mcritj.
It is remarked by many shrewd
observers to-day that the tone oi
the Message and of Secretary
Folger's report will not fail to raise
our credit abrvad 'still higher than
it iz, because, tay these people,
these documents when they are
read in Europe will show to the
ablest financiers there that the new
administration is in the hands of
men soundly instructed in finance
and aUe to advise Congress and the
country in clear language concern
ing subjects concerning which pre
vious Presidents and Secretaries
have
give
been too crudely informed to
either definite or Valuable
advice.
Among the Democrats in the
House there was not so much enthu
siasm as among the .Republicans.
Mr. Hewitt said the general ex
pression was favorable to most of
the President's utterances. With a
J few exceptions his position on the
silver question and national bank
circulation was heartily com
mended as in accord with the sen-
timent oi the Democratic party.
The Cotton Crop of 1881-2.
Bradstreet's, Dec. 3.
Tc obtain at the earliest date pos
sible fairly complete returns on
whiei to base an accurate estimate
of each year's cotton crop is of the
first importance. The planter should
have fuck information in order that
he may get a definite idea as to the
yalueof his productions, and the
general public should have it to the
end that, so far as possible, blind
speculation may be diminished. It
is a ell known fact that previous
to tliis year trustworthy reports of
the cotton crop were not at the
command of the public. It is un
necessary to enter at . length upon
tne causes or failure beyond remark
ing that successful crop reporting
is I essentially news getting, and
therefore falls within the special
province of the journalism of trade
and (finance. With the purpose of
perfecting the machinery necessary
for procuring such a report, we
have used all requisite means and
all the appliances at our command.
In the expenditure of money j we
have! not been sparinsr. Our tores-
ent lists of correspondents, who are
all located immediately in the cotton
growing regions,have been judicious
ly selected from the thousands'with
whom we have had communication
i . i '" 1 i i
during the year. They are repre
sentatives of the best business men
of the South. They are not of one-
class, but of several, and include
cotton factors, cotton buyers, cotton
planters, public ginners and general
storekeepers. The men of business
who have written us, while beiDg
in! immediate communication with
planters, stand sufficiently apart
from them to sift and modify re
ports by intelligent and wide ob
servation. The manifest care and
precision given to the preparation
of, these reports cause us to have
great confidence in the following
summary. The reports have been
sent; us, and, relying upon the
authorities indicated, we seed forth
the j estimate to be tested by the
final return and count of the crop.
Special returns to Bradstreet's
frond eleven hundred and thirty-four
correspondents give reports for five
hundred and thirty-six cotton grow
ing counties, which - produce over
91 per cent of the entire crop, and
give full returns of the weather be
tween October 24, date of the last
report, and November 21, the mail
date of the present report. During
the period between these dates the
weather was moderately favorable
for picking the crop, j In the Ats
lan tic States it was very favorable
until about November 18, when ai
severe cold rain set in. In the
Mississippi Valley and Texas, how
ever it vras less favorable, there
bein j too .tnoek rain, which not
only delayed picking, bat also did
much to prevent the top crop and the
second growth from maturing. The
reports from Texas, Arkansas, and
Tennessee all agrve that this sco
ond growth has been killed by frost.)
and Has made little, if any, cotton.
In parts of South Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama a fair top crop has
been made, and more would have
been secured but for the damage
done by worms last month. Killing
frosts are reported in nearly every
State. In the northern cotton belt
cotton had virtually stopped mak
ing before the dateof our mail
report.
The increase of the revenue on
beer is something wonderful. In
1863 the sum derived from this
source was $1,500,000. But in 1 881
this had grown to over $14,000,000.
Did anybody remark that the Amer
ican people were not fond of beer ?
