Cotton-We have several occasions lately alluded to the smaness of the stock sale with the view of urging the planters to bring in the remainder of the crop but to no effect; our have had 10 resort to southern markets for their supplies and hear that three shipments to the amount of 800 have already rived in James river from Charleston and Mobile. The receipts from the country within the last days have increased and there demand for the article but prime, which Is scarce We quote a He in quality the latter rate for strictly prime.

Up the middle August he of opinion that there would be very large crop made this season. The of this failure stated to be the drought in the early part of the season. the succeeding wet weather and lastly the army worm He estimates the crop at 350,0OO bales.
 This opinion is somewhat corroborated by the latest from the interior. The Perry Eagle of the l7h inst. says
 "The crops so far as we have been able to ascertain since return, have been very much off by the worm and the roi In some instances, planters who have made two three hundred bags will pick this year more than from fifty hundred The crop is abundant"

Some plantations seriously injured by lhe worm first and now by the The lat ter must do serious injury before the crop be unless have fair weather. In the cane brake where the weed is very large there great complaint We still think however there will be average crop made"
