engaged in the trade with the United States and Canada.
The cotton crop, next to the Mexican war, was in America
the all-absorbing topic, and a New York broker of high
standing thus writes upon this subject :--
" In regard to the crop, public opinion, which has been
at variance eo much during the eeason, has centered on
2,030,000 bales, although some parties are disposed to
push their estimates a fraction higher. The growing
crop has lately commeaced to assume an important posi-
tion in the calculations of future prices for this staple.
The season, throughout the whole extent of that section
of the country, has been unpropitious for the plant. During
April and May severe rains, accompanied by a remarkably
cold temperature, inflicted so much injury as to render re-
planting necessary over a very large extent of that regi,,n.
The first bloom of cotton on record this season in Georgia
was on the 10th ofJune; and in the year of the large crop,
in 1842, on the 17th May ; again, in 1844, another large crop
year, the first bloom there was on the 25th May, and about
that date commencing to be general in that section. It is
remarkable that there never has been a large crop of cotton
raised where the bloom has appeared later than the 26th
May; for long experience has proved that the advantages of
a late autumn have never counterbalanced a late bloom."
The meeting to raise subscriptions for the sufferers by the
Newfoundland conflagration has been held to-day, and there
is every reason to hope that the public will respond to the
call of the very influential Committee which has taken in
hand the task of raising subscriptions. •
