THE COTTON CROP OF 18 48-9.
So much has been said concerning the
over production of Cotton. and so vivid
have been the apprehensions tha the mar
kets tIlhe world would Ise glutted with
the article, that we trust we will be ex
eased for devoring a portion of our space
to an analysis of the present year's Iran
sactions in our great staple. if what we
may say will throw any light upon a sub
ject in which so maty of our readers are
interested, or lead to any useful results, we
shall reel that the room occupied has been
beneficially disposed of.
The propable extent or the present crop
has been a subject of alarm from the cotim
mencement of the season. and a yield of
2.700.000 hales was anticipated with very
gloomy forebodingci by many, as calcula'ted
to glut the markets at the world, and effect
an unprecedented depreciation in value.
The existence of war on tile continent of
Europe, lte unsettled condition of France.
and the blot-kade of the ports in the Baltic.
were expected to agcravate the evils of
this over-prodoctioni, by paralying trade.
andi stopping the wheels of the consu merd.
in the struggle to edcape fr'om these lon
pending danigers. merchants and plan era
began to press their coton on the miarkets.
and to sell at any price diat they couldl
obtain; and as their very eagerness to sell
rendered the manufacturers only tile mtire
indiff-rent abot b'eying. it is not in lie
wondered at dint pricessh.uld have fallen
to pintsi of extreie depression. When in
this patnic of sauve qui peut. prices htad
fallen to 5 a 51 -r Fair ceittin in Char
leston, and correepondling rates elsewhere.
the planters began to reflect whether it
inight not be as prutlent to hold their cot.
ton as part with it no prices wholly Unre
munerative, and with the very first indi
cation of this feeling, prices began to tentd
upward; and now. when all those evils
should he upon us from ntwhieh we were
trying to escape by sacrificing our staple.
there is ant absolute scarcity of ctron mi I
the country. and the price if Fair is 8J.
Let us exatince what ha-t le-ome of
this crop, eslimated at 2.700,000 bales,
atd the aunnnt of stock which Liverpool.
the great Cottin tarket, is likely to lie
burdened with:
Since the fiest of September lost. tip to
June 22. we have r-ceived 2.036.000 hales
and of this we have exported to Great
Branin. - 1.450.000
From the Gulf ports between the Ist of
Sepiembier and 10th Noweimber. :tnd tie

The qiestion now arises how much
more witi we send from Juno 22 to No

arts (exclndine New York) aned on ship
Noard is but 1-26.000 hales, tand therm are
20 ships loadiner fir Fraence and the Con
tinent against 27 for Greait Brittain. The
growing crop is thtmee or four weeks lateri
than usual, and we car. count only otn a
very moderate export of new Ciotto lire.
vio-us to the 10th atnd 17th of' November
next. In our opinion 125.000 batles is
qutite a large estimate for the export to
Liverpool ter that period. wrhieb, added
to 826,000 will give as the supply of
-* American Cotton in Liverpool from June
1 to Januairy 1. 1850. 951,000
We will now view her wants.

during satne period. 69.000

ramio. the want, of the re
maining smoen mnonceh, or 30

But let us catry the calculation a little

MAYF RE ID AT HoX.-The following
extrnct fron New York papers show the
estitation in which Lieut. Reid is held
at ione. Nuah's Sunday Times says:

was carried throughAout the action. We
gucas the colonel is right. The Palmetto

The New York Atlas winds up its com
