The Indian Cotton Crop..

The recently received Memor- andam from the Government of India referring to the estimated. area and yield of cotton is ccm- piled from data available up to the end of November. The total area is estimated at 24,030,000 acres, a nominal increase on the figures of the previous year of 8,000 acres, but 3,519,000 acres, than equal to 17 1 per cent., larger the mean of the five years ending 1012-13. The yield is placed at 4,950,000 bales (of 400 lb., only 3,000 bules less than last season, but 990,000 bales, equal to just 25 per cent,, above the five years* average.

The Bombay Prosidency (including Baroda) at prosent shows a decrease on last year of 42,000 bales (under 3 per cent.) the Punjab of 109,000 bales (18.4 per cent, on the exceptional] figures then reported, Haidere bud of 20,000 bales (48 per cent.), and Madras of 7,000 balus (3 per cent.), but the returna from Southern India, owing to the late sowing of the crop in the extreme
