THE COTTON CROP.

We gave it as our opinion on the lst Of
March, that the falling off in The crop for
the latter par, Of the year, would be great
er in proportion than for The preceding
five months, and on this we based calcu-
la,ion that the present crop would not ex-
ceed 100000 bales. The receipts tor
the month of March indicate that it will
fall shor, of thai. And nothing is more
certain now, than that the deficiency is
general, although more oppressively great
in South Carolina and Georgia, than i'll
the Southwest. On the first Of March the
excess of the last, over the present crop,
was as we stated, something more than
100000 bales. The following is a table
of receipts of Cotton at the principal
Southern ports at dates near The first oi
April.
