Statistics of the Crop Estimators li Wholly Misleading and Is Contradictory Ask that Future Estimate! be Supressed. New Orleans, Auk, 4. The: cotton market Is up In arms over estimates of the eotton crop that are being made monthly by officials of the government. Not only, It Is claimed, is this ridiculous time of the year for crop estimates to bt made, but the estimate themselves are ridiculous. Traders in the local market have already asked the Cotton Exchange authorities to take the matter up with the officials of the Department of Agriculture In Washington and a view of having fhese statistical stunts stopped.

Following Tuesday's report on the condition of growing cotton, an estimate from official, or near-officials, sources, of 1 bales was made This created grent indignation, for a month ago an from the same source of 1 l.tl'ii.nnO hales was made. During the nionih the crop, according to the Kovernnient. has gained nlmost a point In condition and Is a month nearer matin it v. In spite of this gain It Is estimated by the ofli-''nls who gie out the-e thinirs the -rop has lost ri.T2.nnn hales. This Is almost the most ridiculous part of the performance; the most ridiculous part of it the estim itii of the cot Culumhcr.
