The following letterie .otn one of the
most respectable and experienced plan
ters of this county. We have received
maly letters frpn different. persons of the
State, all to the same'fenor, a falling off
from last year, of nearly one hall crop.
We will at an. early period prepare an
abstract of the tables and estimates, whicb
we-jave received :
Gentlemen--I received your :circular
st'd.. fill up sonie ten 'or twelve names,
fromi all the ibfrmatiol I can obtain there
it a bertaittty that a third of the crop is cut
off, And in many cases half! but even a
third on the last years crop, will lie.a great
flIliig off, considering that the bid wen
ther for gathe-ing was so niu - .li
that of last year. The farmer has to run
th'e risk of the aud weastle'r yet !-the
quality may in the general be a.httle bet
ter !-but ihe particles of trash are con
stanily falling, and many cdtlplata. I
think it tore like'y that tile crops will be
overrated, from the fact that many have
anticipated their nett years crop, and
many still will draw ahead of the present
crops What a deficieilcy cati produce upon
the presentrate of tle market, remains to
be seen, for it may ie dtllicult to indace

Mesrs. Editors.-l have had my at
tention called to the various trewspapers
witbtespect to our present Cotton cro.
It appears that you de-ire the various see
ions of the country to give you informa
tion on this subject. .I hevo travelled in
four or live counties within the last ten
days, say a [part of Lowndes, Dallas, WVil
COX, Monroe and Butler, and I have tO
conversed with the first itndividual who
thought they wotild make halt ai crop,
very few oiver a third and some not more
thea a fourth-itn the neighborhood mi
which L teside I do not thitnk monre than a
third of a commnon crop will be mtade', as
mot of the planters will be done plecking
in ite course of ten or fifteen dnays. The
delegation who attendead dhe Assoeuationl at
C laiborne, said that the destrtetoa by the
hare worm. and caterpillar is generali a!
ffr as their knowledge extetnds.
IYours respecftfully,
A PLANTER.
Our Market.-Cou1O.-No change h..
taken place in prices since our latst quota
ions; and the-opiniont still contintues, thu
former rates will be failly sustained.
We have very carefully looked over thi
a ccounts fromn all parts of the Union ; ani
foekoureves warranted in saying, tha
t he Cotton erop of this year wvill bie a ver~
mall one. If the falling olT, should b
flly 400,000 bales w~e wvill not be-at al
surprised. The Sea Island crop will b
ext to nothing ; and in the place of! th
utaple, coarser cot tons will have to ho-use
...h, .tnnrfatorcrS. who. iisuly cot
sume it. Four causes will contribute to
make cotton' ring good pricesithis season.
1st. The crop of last year and this,. are
both small ones.
2od. Large amounts of capital have
been invested in new Cotton Factories in
this country and Europe,.-wtich capital
inust be re'ndered productive by the use of
the raw material.
3rd. The provision crop is a pledtiftil
one. which will enable farmers atid dtteis,
to consume more largely df manufictured
cotton goods.
4th11 Our redndd tarifi will edai!e the
manufacturers of all the world. to give
better prices for our &dttnu, because they
sell to us on Uoter teertq.
While, however, these canoes are inevi
table in their results, and.whilo dte are
firmly persuaded. treat cotton till tiring
good prices, we are far fiomd advising atiy
f our farmern to hold back.
Fifteen years acquaintance wiih several
of the largest plinting interests in this
Siate, has convinced us, that.in the main,
it i alweys best for the.planter to get out
his crop as soon as convenient, and -to take.
the market d. it runs. At another time,
we tiay lie liaps present some calculations
on this subject ftr the benefit of our farm.

by these suspicions. and without waiting C
