ever cause il may be owing the puce Of
cotton is low, the attention Of culligators
the rex, ycer is more particularly diverted
from cotton 10 the culture Of corn, aud oh
er branches Of agriculture, in the cotton,
producing States. As cotton is now SC
low, and so l,',le in demand IN tho for

at home II must necessarily become an oh

interest Of our celu,ry so that an increase
Of this product from those countries, and
corresponding depression IN ours, are to b
expected. The amount Of luda Couoi
