Correction--In cur paDer of Fridav last,
we made 4 rough anc, nasty estimate o. the -
mount of property az NewOrlvans. Since
then, friend, who has long resided az that
place iit the capacity OF merchant, informs
us, that our estimate was egregiousiy ucor-
rect. He says" The quantity of Cotton you
mention as being stored at New-Orleans. IS
not far from correct--say loo, O00 bales, g.
veraging $50 pounds each bale, At least Which
| is 81 100000 pound OF Cotton, all pa;d fer at
from eight up 70 fourteen centsS pound, aud
belonging Chi fly to the merchants of the A.
lantic states. Therefore, if we put the aver
! age price at ter &C. IS a pound, il win 30 a.
