The question of crop has now attained an interest and
mportance never before approached in the history of toe
cotton trade. With the comparatively short crop of the
past year the old stocks have melted away, and the con-
sumption has absolutely overtaken pro 'nation ; a state of
things which is fraught with startling interest, especially
to Great Britain. Under these circumstances the pros-
pects of the growing crop are watched with an absorbing
anxiety by the British community, and an anxiety not a
little perplexing, we may well conceive, after the signal
disappointment of their hopes.touching the extent of last
year's crop, based upon faith in some of the New York
estimates. Tnis question of crop is on-`which we have
always touched with great caution, and we can only speak
in general terms of what are understood to be its present
prospects. We will, however, premise that beyond a
doubt preparations were made for the largest crop ever
grown. There was every motive for such a course, and
such is understood to be the fact. A remarkably favour-
able early snring caused an unusnally extensive early
planting, and thus much was exposed to the frost of the
sth April, and kil!ed. Another killing frost occurred on
the 13th April, and still another, and tl a mo,t severe, on
the 23rd. This is the latest killing frost, considering the
condition of the plant, that has occurred since 1849, when
with killing frosts on the 15th and 16th April, the crop was
less than that of the year previous in the amount of
632,000 bales. These successive frosts and subsequent
unseasonably cool weather put it beyond a doubt that the
crop must be a late one, and it was said that in some sec-
tions the land was not replanted to the original extent for
want of seed. At last, however, a good "stand" was
understood to hays been pretty generally obtained, and
since then the plant is said to have made good progress
and to present fair promise, though there were complaints
of too much rain in some sections at the close of July and
in the early part of August. The lateness of the crop,
however, is now an assured fact, and we can hardly
believe that even the most favourable future circum-
stances can fully compensate for the loss of three to four
