ploughing during March and April, down to the 20th of
May, attended by chilling nights, which caused the seed in
many serious to rot in the ground, and farmers to replant
three or four times. Reen at that late date a good stand bad
not g 11l been obtained, and the young oottott in the
most favoured sections of Mississippi, Louistana, and Ala-
bama, was not over eight inches in height, and in the
Atleatie States from two to boar inches.
The weather then changed, becoming intensely hot,
toning the pleat into a sudden and luxuriant growth, which
deceived the casual observer by its improved appearance.
The first bloom advised was at Columbus, Ga., on the 21st
of June, nineteen days later than in the same location last
lemon, and forty-two days later than in 1848; but the
period of general bloom, as advised by oar circular, per
America, of Jaly 30th, did not occur until the 6th of July,
twenty days later than the latest season on record. The
effect of the dry and hot weather which prevailed
from the 15th of Jane up to the 24th of August,
was a general shedding of young forme and bolls and
the forcing prematurely open the large bolls. The dorm of
the 24th August, by twisting and breaking the stalks,
checked the growth of the plant in the Atlantic States and
Florida, and the intensely warm weather which prevailed
subsequently, ceased an increasing shedding of forms. The
quality and weight of the new °atm gives additional prow
of the hot and dry weather which prevailed, if proof were
wanting. The receipts at Macon, Ga., averaging forty five
per bales less than last season, and at New Orleans
Mg jwade, the firmer doll in colour, the latter bright, but
kMf deficient in staple. From the character of the season,
Mwe have reviewed it, and knowing that there was no old
melon remaining on plantations to swell the receipts of the
yeses% mean, we were early convinced that, after making
dill due allowance for the increased breadth of land planted,
that the yield of the Atlantic States and Florida would be
very moderate, and subsequently were satisfied that the seve-
rity of the gale of Aug. 24 had bean snob, that scarcely any cot-
ten would be made from blooms that appeared after that date.
and that an early killing frost would consequently cause leas
distraction than under any other circumstances. To this
opinion we adhere in our estimate d for the Atlantic
Sates 625,000 to 650 000, and Florida 170,000. Before we
proceed to those sections which escaped the devastating
effects of the August storm, and which ware coniequently
exposed to injury from an early frost, it is proper to remark
that a killing frost occurred on the nights of the 26th, 28th,
and 27th ult., at Camden and Columbia, South Carolina,
Augusta, Macon, and Columbus, Georgia, Montgomery,
Alabama, end Mobile ; and at Columbus, Mississippi, on
the 27th and 29th. The growth of the crop has, therefore,
been checked is North Alabama, North Itiesheippi, and
Tennessee.
Foe Mobile we adopt our previous inside figures, 400.000.
And now we come to the point—the receipts at New Orleans
—in istlmatiag which we have hither found most difficulty.
That difficulty arose from the fact that large expo citations
were entertained in well informed quarters, of the yield
(with a late and open mason) from the everffiwed lands on
the Mlriatippi, which, when the waters subeided late in
Jam, were planted, and from the fact that the Red River
event-y and the neighbouring parishes which last year pro-
dlonelsothing. on account of the Inundation, were this year
palliative. -The cold weather from the 28th to the 29 h
ultimo has, we believe, settled the question, so far as the yield
et the overflowed lands are concerned, but from the Red
LW country and Louisiana we anticipate an increase, and
amoquently take a margin of 60,000 bales, in our estimate
or tessipts at New Orleans, which we place at 850 to 900 000
hales. Texas, we do not think, will vary much from 30,000
bales; our figures would, therefore, stand as follows:
New Orleans
Mobile
Atlantic States 825 ~ 8.50
Florida l7O „ 170
Texas 3O „ 36

2076 to 2156
The majority of those now writing advise lower eipimatee,
generally 2000,000, to 2,100,000, and in support of their opi-
nions adduce the lateness of the plant compared with last
season, the late period of bloom, the early frost, and the
generally acknowledged fast of the scarcity of old co ton on
the plantations (we differ by allowing for the increased plant-
, log), and now and then we hear of one who, for opinion's
sake adheres to 2,300,000.
