Condition of the
New Cotton Crop.
Glance at the Situation in the
Cotton States.
Whenever through speculative in?
fluences or agencies the price of
cottou futures rises or falls during
tbe growing eeason, the writers who
do" the rcaiket reports find abun?
dant reasons to justify the course of
prices, whether the movement be
upwards, downwards or fluctuating,
and eo the phenomenal fall of this
>eek is ascribed to the "brilliant
crop reports "
A close examination of reliable re
ports on the condition of cotton in
tbe fields, would scarcely justify the
above characterization,unless,indeed,
the prospects tor this crop are
always "brilliant'1 at this season of
the year, for the reports indicate that
oottoo is barely normal over the
greater portion of the belt while in
T-3ZS8 its condition is much below
tee seasonable average In North
Csrolina much of the cotton is .just
coming up, and a great deal of re
planting is necessary while tbe tem?
perature is too low for rapid or favor?
able development.
In South Carolina tbe conditions
are more favorable and with the ex?
ception of late plantings, which are
coming up to irregular stands, the
crop is in good condition, but the
plants are unusually small In Geor?
gia the Stauda are variable and late
planted ootton is not oomiug up well.
In tbe southern and middle sections
of the Mate, the stands are good aud
chopping is finished
In Florida early cotton is good,
while late plantings are coming up to
unsatisfactory stands.
In Alabama reports concerning
oottoo are generally favorable, except,
that cool nights have retarded
growth, aod oaused lice to develop
or appear.
In Mississippi cotton baa been
worked rapidly and almoat without,
exoeption the Stauda are reported
good, although tbe oights have beer
too oool for the beat growth of the
plants
Id Louisiana cotton planting is fin
ished, and tbe work of scraping,
chopping out, or cultivation is being;
proseouted with vigor
lo Tennessee cotton is coming up
slowly, and early cotton is making;
slow growth, as the result of cool
nights.
In Arkansss cotton is being chop
ped out, and as a rule the stand in
good, althoogh the plant is generali}
small owing to the oool nights.
In Texas tbe nights have been un?
usually oool Cotton planting pro?
gressed slowly in the central and
south portions, but is nearing com
pletioo in the north portion. Th??
condition of tbe crop is much better
in the northern portions of tbe Statu
than elsewhere, but oti tbe whole is
not up to the average.
Tbe conditions in other State*
where cotton is raised do not vary
materially from the States named,
and on the whole the condition of
cotton is scarcely up to the seasona?
ble average

Already our stock is badly broken in some lines which we
hops soon to replenish. There has been a great deal said
about the advance in prices of Dry Goods, but we see no
justification for this, except in domestic goods, such as
bleached, brown and plaid homespuns, that are directly
affected by the price of cotton, the advance is not appa?
