The following is the telegraphic synopsis of the December report: 

 The December report of the Department of Agriculture indicates a 

 smaller yield than the returns of condition in October. The October 

 average was 74, against 68 in 18S3, 88 in the great harvest of 1882, and 

 66 in the disastrous season of 1881. The returns of condition in Octo- 

 ber and of product in December have been unusually divergent this 

 year. The first indicated a larger crop than last year; the latter a 

 product slightly less, or about 98 per cent. The comparative decline is 

 in the States west of Alabama. The comparison with last year is as 

 follows . North Carolina, 100 ; South Carolina, 107 : Georgia, ioi ; Flor- 

 ida, 103 ; Alabama, 105 ; Mississippi, 91 ; Louisiana, 98 ; Texas, 89 ; 

 Arkansas, 99 ; Tennessee, 101. 



Applying these percentages to our figures for the crop of 1883, they 

 indicate a product of 398,000 bales in North Carolina, 502,000 in South 

 Carolina, 760,000 in Georgia, 60,000 in Florida, 661,000 in Alabama, 

 817,000 in Mississippi, 480,000 in Louisiana, 995,000 in Texas, 513,000 

 in Arkansas, and 314,000 in Tennessee. The remaining territory will 

 probably give about 50,000 bales. This makes an aggregate of 5,580,000 

 bales. 



These figures are provisional and may be slightly modified by future 

 returns. It is possible that the general disappointment at the outcome 

 of the middle and top crop have made the December returns unusu-
